It was so hard for me to tell Harry that I wanted to have lunch with Dos without him tagging along because I know he would never agree. I didn't notice that I was nervously playing with my hand until Harry placed his hand on top of mine then withdrew immediately.
"What's wrong?" He asked. We were heading to our next class.
"I..." I looked at Harry who looked worried. I breathed out then looked straight at him. "I wanted to eat lunch with Dos."
Harry stopped walking and I also stopped and it took him a few seconds before he opened his mouth to answer. "Did Dos asked you?"
I nodded my head.
"Of course, you can." Harry smiled and messed my hair making me pout at him but I felt relieved seeing that he was not against it. So the truce was true. "He didn't force you, right?"
I shook my head. "No, he didn't."
"Then, why are you acting so nervous?" He chuckled.
"I thought you might be angry." I said.
"Do you like Dos?"
It was the second time Harry asked me that question and the first time, I answered I don't know. I know everything was happening so fast but the fact that I like it when Dos was around and he also occasionally pops inside my head without me noticing. I also like the way he looks at me. His stares were so... powerful that I felt like melting before it.
"I think I do." I answered and Harry nod.
"That's great, but you better tell me if he hurts you. I won't hesitate to kill him." Harry said making me smack his arm.
"Harry." I warned him. He knew I hate it when he talks like that.

Dos already ordered our lunch and we sat separate from his friends. I felt nervous eating alone with Dos who was looking so handsome and not to mention tall also that I looked like his staff when we're beside each other. I could see that students were looking at us making me feel uncomfortable. Dos was too attractive for me.
I looked at the foods that Dos ordered for both of us. Almost everything on the table was meat. I turned to Dos.
"I'm sorry. I forgot to ask what you like to eat so I ordered anything." Dos said.
"I'm not picky with foods but you ordered a lot." I said. I think he ordered two tray-full of foods.
Dos smiled and held my wrist. His hand was large compared to mine that he could easily break mine in a snap if he wants to. "You should eat a lot."
Dos placed all the kinds of dished on my plate until it was full. My mouth was left open as I watched Dos filled my plate.
"There." Dos smiled, satisfied seeing how full my plate was.
Dos kept on staring at me while eating that it made me feel so conscious making me chew slowly. I still couldn't believe and understand what Dos sees in me for him to like me.
"You don't know how happy I am to eat together with you without that friend of yours tagging along." Dos said.
I let out a soft chuckle and I looked at Dos. The way he was staring at me while chewing his food sent shivers down my spine. His dark eyes seem like he could see right through me.
I grabbed the glass of water and drained half of it in one gulp.
"Don't drink too much. It'll make you feel full easily." Dos said.
"Hhmn" I hummed and brought the glass down. "C-can I ask you a question?"
Dos turned to me. "Of course."
"Why do you like me?"
"Do I need to have a reason to like you?"
"Yes, of course."
"Because we're meant to be and I can't stop myself from not liking you."
Meant to be?
How? Was he referring to the things that I was also experiencing? Does he also keep on thinking about me?
I still didn't understand what Dos answered about that meant to be thing but I just nodded at him.
"I think I also like you." I said and Dos stared at me.
His smile was slowly growing. "Then, will you go out with me?"
I almost choked hearing what Dos said. We only confessed to each other. Where's the getting to know you more stage?
"I-Isn't it too fast?" I said, blushing. Never in my life imagine having a relationship with someone like Dos.
"It is, but I can't wait for you to be mine." He said and I was glad I already swallowed what I was chewing.
Smooth. I feel my face heating up.
"I'll think about it first." I said.
Dos smiled as he nods his head. "Okay."
I couldn't finish everything on my plate and I didn't want to waste food so Dos ended up finishing everything. Dos escorted me to my afternoon class and I let go of the smile I was holding when Dos finally went to his class.
I wiped the smile on my face with a light cough when I heard someone clearing his throat behind me. It was Harry and he took the seat next to mine.
"What did I miss?" Harry asked.
I shyly smiled. "Dos asked me to go out with him." I said.
"Isn't he fast?"
I nodded my head. "I said that I will think about it first."
"Yeah. You should."
I turned to Harry. "Is it normal to ask someone like that on your first date?"
It was a lunch date, right?
Harry looked at me for a while. "I guess."
"It's my first time, so I don't have any clue about these kinds of things." I said as I played with my fingers.
Harry chuckled softly and messed my hair making me pout at him. They always like to mess with my hair.
"All I know is that that Dos is serious, but if he hurts you, I will be the one to personally send him back to his maker."
I smacked his arm. "Harry."
Harry laughed and pinched both my cheeks, stretching my lips making me winced. "Why does it have to be you?" He said then let go of my cheeks that were throbbing in pain.
"What—"
I was cut when our instructor walked inside the room and started barking the page of our topic for that session. I wanted to ask Harry what does he mean by what he said but I guess he was only muttering.
Dos also wanted to escort me home and I was kind of looking forward to dismissal to see Dos. All throughout the afternoon classes, I kept on thinking about Dos the whole time. This never happened to me before.
Am I going crazy?
