Nodding her head, she sniffled.

Sniff!

Sniff!

She pulled away almost too quickly for Nix to register what had happened.

"I'm... I'm sorry." She apologized, avoiding making eye contact again.

She had been so overwhelmed with her emotions that she had forgotten what he had said earlier.

'Here we go again! Back to square one.' He internally facepalmed at her withdrawal.

"I don't mind being a shoulder to cry on," he suggested with a straight face.

Stealing glances in his direction, she moved away from him with a push with her leg, unsure if she could trust all he had said.

"We are nothing but roommates after all." She mumbled, sulking as she spoke with a pout.

Nix raised a brow at her words, he didn't expect she would take those words in that concept.

Letting out a laugh at her childish reaction to his words, he caught a glimpse of her brows furrowed and her lips mumbling some incoherent words.

Immediately he sealed his mouth shut to her reaction. "Fine," he made a zip motion on his lips and threw the key so it was long lost.

Her features eased as a smile made its way to her lips. Bringing her hand to her lips she covered her lips and giggled.

"How I had missed that!" He said with a sigh.

Her mood instantly darkened at his words, her eyes narrowing at his words.

Zzznn!

Nix's hairs stood on all ends at the feeling he had just experienced.

To his dismay, Lumina burst out laughing at his current state.

Narrowing his eyes, he had come to understand that she was the one who had secretly channeled her gift to his direction, making him feel the slightest wave of electric currents pass through his body.

"Very funny, pretty fa–" He paused in his speech.

Although it did sound and feel better than calling her by her name when it was just the two of them, he did still wonder if he was ready to fully accept the uncertainty between them.

Lumina had noticed this change and had a smile on her face at the presumed hope she could get if they continued on the right track.

"It's alright, I never found the reference offensive." She muttered, pushing back several strands of hair out of her face.

Her green eyes sparkled with much intensity. She felt the need to grab hold of him, but she didn't want to ruin the moment that they had just established.

'You are finally winning his trust, go with the flow.' She thought to herself.

Nix felt at ease the moment she had given a go-ahead in his fond name for her.

"That's fine by me, but I won't until I know what you had said when you had an outburst earlier." He said with a smirk.

Adjusting his posture, he sat cross-legged and had all his focus on her, waiting for her to satisfy his newfound curiosity.

"Really?" She questioned, unsure about how she could comfortably explain her hurtful past.

Nodding his head, he was determined not to speak unless necessary.

Inhaling and exhaling, she looked down at the floor. If she could use that as a distraction, she would have the courage to speak up with much confidence.

"Okay, here goes nothing." She said in a whisper.

Nix had his eyes fixated on her, he had always been curious about that shirt, but given how he had gotten it, he had always felt some sort of shame while thinking about it.

"My brother, Ian," She choked on her words. Her hands trembled as she tried to gather her thoughts.

'So that was the same person that Fae had referred to.' Nix finally got a bit of the puzzle fixed.

Lumina inhaled and exhaled, something she had done whenever she felt a weight on her heart. It had been several years and she still couldn't understand why it hurt like it was the previous day.

"My brother was chosen to join the academy like every other person here... well umm..." She looked upwards and at Nix.

Recalling what he had said, she couldn't help but feel uneasy with his mode of joining the academy.

Nix understood where she was going with her pause and the way she looked at him.

"You believe my appearance in the academy can't be by chance, right?"

Slowly nodding her head to his words, there was no use hiding her suspicions on that part.

"Well, you aren't wrong!" He said with a laugh.

Lumina did a double-take at his response, she wasn't expecting him to reply to her suspicions so easily.

"It's true?" She asked in disbelief.

"Yep!" He said with a popping sound of the 'p'.

"But... how?!" She questioned, inching closer to him unconsciously.

Nix circled himself with his passive gift's telekinetic field. "Easy there, pretty face."

This discussion wasn't about him being the central focal point but her story to tell.

"You would get your turn, but for now let's stick with one story at a time, alright?" He reasoned, his eyes switching from her distance between them and her fingers which were dangerously close to the field.

Lumina's eyes trailed and followed his line of sight. Retracting her hands, she realized she looked like she was about to pounce on him anytime soon.

Masking her embarrassment with a chuckle, she sat back down and cleared her throat.

"He had been one of the ace students..."

"Why does that sound like you are just following in his footsteps?" Nix cut in with a chuckle.

Lumina fumed at his reference, aiming a lightning bolt at him, forgetting how the telekinetic field stays invisible when dormant.

"Shit!" She hissed when it merely struck the surface and deflected her bolt back at her.

Raising her head, she deactivated it upon close contact with herself.

The temporal visibility of the field began to weaken with no form of contact with it.

"You seem to forget all that this can do," Nix said with a taunt, wiggling his brows.

Lumina had a pout, turning her face sideways, rolling her eyes, and folding her arms.

Nix gulped upon seeing her bust jiggle slightly with that action. Turning his attention away, he brought his hand to his face to shield her from seeing him flustered.

"What's up with your face?" She questioned with an incredulous look.
