BXBX NOVEL Chapter 95 - Couples?
For the next few days, John continued to train with her.
"100KM Run!"
"Yes!"
"1000 Pushups!"
"Yes!"
"750 Squats!"
"Yes!"
"200 Crunches!"
"Y-Yes...!"
"300 Sit-ups!"
"Y...es...!"
"200 Reverse Crunches!"
\'Why does that even exist in this world?!\' John loathed.
"Y....e...s..."
"That\'s all for today."
With each day that passed, John would collapse after training.
***
"John, what\'s wrong?" Asked Kurt as he tried to finish his meal.
John tried grabbing on to the spoon, but his hands and arms were too sore to do anything.
"Ah... I heard that you\'ve started training with someone. Could that be the reason?" He asked.
\'So he found out.\' John thought.
"Yeah, it\'s pretty intense, but would probably be considered normal for most people," John spoke.
"I think you may be overestimating the definition of normal, especially if it leaves someone like you in this state," Replied Kurt.
"Haha… yeah..."
John looked around the table and everyone was here except for Eleanor. Ariel, Serena, Kurt\'s wife, and Kurt were here. Including the maid, but she wasn\'t eating anything, just watching to make sure there weren\'t any problems.
It was the second last day before the first day of school; John wanted to be able to talk to her once, but he had been exhausting himself daily and hasn\'t had the time.
\'I\'ll do it tomorrow! I have training after this meal.\' John decided.
"Ah..." He muttered as he accidentally dropped the spoon.
\'God... Looks like I won\'t be able to eat anything today…\' John realized.
Right when he had given up, Ariel moved her chair closer to his.
"Ariel?" John spoke.
With her spoon, she picked up some of the beef from the beef stew soup and said. "Say... Ahnn..." as she moved the spoon closer to his mouth.
"A-Ahnn..."
John opened his mouth and Ariel fed him through the spoon.
Her face was so red it looked like it was burning. As for John, he couldn\'t really tell what face he was making, but he was definitely embarrassed.
\'Wasn\'t that an indirect kiss?\' John thought.
While he was thinking that, Ariel picked up more beef and soup with the spoon and brought it closer and closer to John\'s mouth.
Without saying anything, he opened it and she fed him again.
"mn... it\'s good" John said as he chewed.
The beef stew was really good, the more John chewed the more he could feel the flavor. It was Rich people food for you.
Then all of the sudden, Serena moved her chair closer to John\'s.
"Ariel, that was unfair." Said Serena as she grabbed her spoon and use it to pick up some of John\'s beef stew soup.
"Hehe, you need to be faster Serena," replied Ariel.
Serena then pointed her spoon towards John\'s mouth, with an intimidating expression, without saying anything she just kept it pointed.
"Uhm, Serena? What\'s wr-"
Before John could finish, Serena suddenly shoved the spoon into his mouth. Thankfully, she slowed down at the end and it didn\'t really hurt.
It still tasted really good. Serena\'s expression changed from an intimidating one to a soft one as she asked, "How was it?"
"It was good" John replied.
\'Now I just had an indirect kiss with Serena, don\'t they care about these things? Or do they just not know?\' John thought to himself.
The only downside was how embarrassed they got. After all, Kurt and his wife were watching.
John looked over at them to see what they were doing as they were recently quiet and was surprised by what I saw.
"Say ahnn, Kurt..." Said his wife.
"T-The kids are watching..." Said Kurt, feeling slightly embarrassed.
"They were doing the same, a second ago, Say ahnn" She said with a smile as she moved her spoon closer to his mouth.
"Ahnn..."
Kurt opened his mouth, and she inserted the spoon. Suddenly the air around them got more romantic.
\'Well, I guess it\'s normal for them to do that, Couples usually share food or feed each other after all.\' John thought.
\'Eh? Doesn\'t that mean the three of us are more like couples than friends or party members? I mean, we\'ve kissed before, right? When I was drowning... Although that was CPR. Wait have we even kissed?\' He thought further.
\'Surely I would have realized... And besides, even if we had, there\'s no way we could be a couple... Serena doesn\'t hold any romantic emotions towards me, and Ariel probably only thinks of me as an older brother or something…\'
\'And besides... If one of us became a couple, what would happen to the other? The vibe in the party would be different... Does that mean its best not to date them?\'
\'Well, it\'s not like they would want to in the first place but... Let\'s say if they would... I wonder what having a girlfriend would be like…\' John\'s train of thought kept on running.
"I feel like it\'ll probably be exactly like this..." He muttered.
"What do you mean?" Asked Ariel as she brought her spoon close to John\'s mouth.
"Ah, I was just thinking how the three of us act more like couples than friends," John replied.
"Wha-?" Said Serena as she suddenly lowered the spoon.
With bright red cheeks, she said, "L-Listen here, we\'re just helping out our precious party leader, it doesn\'t make us a couple, do you underst-"
Before she could finish, Ariel interrupted as she said "That sounds nice".
\'Wha- does that mean she\'s okay with it?\' John thought, feeling surprised.
Everyone\'s attention then turned to her, which caused her to start feeling embarrassed and her cheeks to redden up.
"A-Ah I mean, if we look like we\'re couples then that means we\'re close, which is a good thing!" Said Ariel.
"O-Oh, so that\'s what you meant..." John muttered.
"Yeah..." she muttered.
After that, things got too awkward, so John asked Ariel to stop feeding him.
As for Serena, she suddenly stopped talking after Ariel interrupted her, but John could have sworn he heard her say, "You won this round..."
***
"Hey, master, what are we doing today?"
"Do you start school in 2 days?" She asked.
"Yeah" John replied.
"We\'ll be doing light training for today."
"T-Thank god... Hey master, can I ask something?" John questioned.
Without saying anything she nodded.
"Have you ever had a boyfriend?" He asked.
