Luck
Ace stands near the hallway, her eyes searching for a specific person. She sees him down the hall, now running to catch up with him.
" Trey-senpai!"
Trey turns around at the call of his name. "Oh Ace, do you need something?" He asks as the girl slows down to a halt infront of him.
"Here," she hands out a book, "Crewel-sensei told me to give it to you. Something for the vice dorm leaders he said."
As he grabs the book and say his thanks, Trey chuckles at the beaming face of Ace. He instinctively reaches out his hand, then starts petting her. Something he does to his younger siblings for a job well done.
What happened next was unexpected though.
Ace purrs.
Trey blinks, once and then twice, "Ace?" He was not expecting that kind of reaction. He bites the inside of his lips. It's cute, absolutely cute.
Ace blushes as she realizes what she just did. She swats away Trey's hand. "That just didn't happen okay. That didn't happen!" She hiss, flushed and absolutely embarrassed at her natural reaction. One that she does whenever her family pats her head.
Trey nods at this, "Shouldn't you get going? Class is about to start." He watches as Ace goes still at the realization before sprinting away saying her goodbye.
As Trey walks to his next class, he can't help remembering what just happened. He chuckles, Ace's reaction was absolutely cute.
Unexpected but cute.
And that wasn't the last time Trey was allowed to see that. Because it happened again, and again, till it became a natural habit in their lives.
How lucky.
