Chapter 95 – Yule Ball
On the day of the Yule Ball, most students woke early, especially the girls who began getting ready hours before the event even started. But not Quincy.
"Shouldn't we get out of bed?" I asked, lying on my back while she was snuggled up to me, her head resting on my chest while I gently stroked her long hair.
"It's Christmas... we can laze a little, don't we? I am not planning on going overboard anyway, so I will simply dress up and fix my hair, and there it is!"
"Heh, I heard some girls doing makeup for hours to look gorgeous... and here you are, pretty without doing anything!" Although I didn't see her face, I could tell she was blushing as she softly rubbed against me, trying to hide.
"I don't really have much makeup anyway... I never learned how to put it on."
"I assumed your grandmother would have done so, trying to sell you..."
"It was done by magic. I never bothered to learn the spell myself."
"Convenient." I chuckled, looking towards the window, watching the heavy snowfall while we were lying on our bed. The crackling fire in the fireplace filled the room with warmth and was my most peaceful morning of all time. Will we have mornings like this in the future?
"What are you thinking about?"
"Hm?" I turned away from the window, looking down into her eyes.
"You looked lost for a moment."
