Drake couldn’t recall a day that he hadn’t heard her voice—
Any and every time he fell asleep, she was there—
Ever since his childhood, he’d been subjected to the haunting melody…
It used to make him mad, too.
He’d absolutely hated hearing that song over and over again.
It was strangely comforting to him.
So much had changed in his life, yet— She was still there.
It all started in the summer.
The air was thick, and it hung heavy, leaving those unfortunate enough to be outside saturated in sweat. Drake was one of those unfortunate people, the P.E coach was in a particularly enthusiastic mood.
Sometimes, Drake hoped Crowley would be gracious enough to talk to Coach Vargas— This wasn’t exercise, it was torture, but whatever-
After the twelfth lap, as embarrassing as it was to admit—
He wasn’t the only one, either, so it’s not like he was weak or anything!!!
He thrived on heat, but even for him—
That day, the warmth was unbearable.
She was singing that song again, and upon second glance, she looked rather familiar…
Drake sighed, running a hand through his hair.
“Why do you always sing the same thing?” He grumbled, not really expecting an answer.
It was a dream, after all—
“A good song is a good song, no matter how often someone sings it.”
Drake gaped, his eyes flying open in surprise.
He exclaimed, his tone laden with shock.
The girl rolled her eyes, and Drake studied her face for a moment, his brows furrowed.
“Why wouldn’t I be able to speak? Obviously, I’m capable of speech, given I sing…”
Drake gnawed the inside of his cheek, his eyes narrowed in thought.
“Fine, then. Can I have your name, Miss Mysterious Singer?”
The girl smiled at him sweetly, and Drake’s cheeks burned—
He woke to the sound of yelling.
Coach Vargas was getting told off by the castle’s maid, who didn’t appreciate the extra mess.
He stood up, glancing at the blue haired woman, and the muscular coach, before flashing a peace sign, and leaving—
He’d rather not get in the middle of that —
The next class was fortunately, far less taxing— It was just History, with Professor Trein.
He could probably nap, actually—
Trein’s class wasn’t hard.
“Shouldn’t you be studying right now?”
The girl asked, and Drake was thrown off by the question.
“Shouldn’t you be singing right now? You know, instead of asking me about school n stuff—“
The girl’s cheeks went crimson and before he knew it, one of his cheek’s matched—
Maybe, he deserved that, but before he could decide if he did or not—
He was woken by a loud meow, and it was with much irritation, that he met the gaze of Lucius, the professor’s familiar.
“Mr. Redhood. Would you care to answer question three?”
Drake stared at the Professor blankly, before frantically rushing to open his book—
The professor sighed, his features twisted in exasperation.
“If you are feeling unwell, then I suggest you go see the Nurse. I did hear about the disaster that was P.E today. I would also recommend you icing that cheek of yours.”
Drake nodded, his expression falling in confusion—
Wait!! That would mean !!!
Professor Trein nodded, waving Drake off in a clear dismissal.
Drake fought back his grin, allowing it to slip on his face, only after he was out of the classroom.
The Nurse let him lay down, which was just perfect—
“You’re real!!!” He shouted, pointing at the girl.
She raised a brow, her expression unimpressed.
“Congratulations. Your deductive abilities are astounding.”
He frowned, crossing his arms in irritation. “Oh, come on!!! Don’t be like that!!! I’ve thought you were a figment of my imagination for years!!”
The girl snorted, rolling her eyes, as she gave him a glare without any real heat behind it—
“Yes, well— You only just bothered to speak to me, so that’s kind of on you. Not only that, but the first thing you did was question my taste in music. Forgive me, if I’m not exactly thrilled.”
He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, offering her an apologetic smile, as that was all true—
“Sorry, yeah? When you phrase it like that… I sound kinda like a jerk.”
To his surprise, she shook her head, a small smile forming on her face. “Not a jerk, no— Just an idiot.”
“I think I’d rather be mean than stupid.”
“Not everyone gets what they want in life.”
He frowned, his expression falling some—
The girl looked up at him, after that, her expression softening some.
The nurse woke him up, telling him that classes for the day were over, and he frowned.
That was a bit disappointing…
He was sure, he was about to get an apology or something like that!!!
It was with great disappointment that he returned to Diasmonia’s dormitory. He entered his room, and flopped onto the bed, hoping that he’d fall asleep—
He’d probably slept too much throughout the day or something.
He opted to pass the time scrolling through Magicam—
Huh..? He got a follower?
He clicked follow back, and his expression fell—
This account is private: request to follow ?
He pressed ‘yes’ , his interest piqued—
“Welcome back, Snoozles.”
Drake’s eyes narrowed at the nickname, and he brought a hand to his chest in mock offence.
“Snoozles?! Man, what did I do to deserve this?!”
Her lips twitched and his heart soared at the shift in her expression.
“Hmm, let’s think. Ah, yes. Miss Mysterious Singer…”
Drake rolled his eyes, gesturing to her teasingly. “Well you refused to tell me your name, sooo—!
Her eyes widened, and she averted her gaze, her cheeks tinged pink.
“Oh, I did… Alright, fine. My name is—“
Drake swore when he was woken up, earning a surprised chortle from Lilia.
“Ufufu? Good dream, I take it? You wouldn’t wake for anything..”
Drake’s cheeks warmed at Lilia’s jest, and he shrugged in response.
His phone buzzed from its spot on his bed, and man—
He wished he could just melt into the floor!!!
This was awkward as hell…
Lilia chuckled, shaking his head in amusement.
“Ah, to be young again. Get ready, it won’t be good if you’re late, and… I have a feeling you may want to check your phone.”
Lilia gave him a knowing smile, before leaving the dorm—
Drake stared after him for a moment in confusion, before sighing, and glancing at his phone—
Parson has accepted your request.
Parson: Hey, Snoozles. It looks like our conversation got cut short— You go to NRC, right? Meet me at the field for flying lessons. BEFORE CLASS.
Drake reread the text, suddenly feeling very awake. He hurried to get ready, leaving the dorms in a rush to get to the field in time—
There was no way he’d be late.
