Hey, Maurice, are you okay?" one of my teammates asked me.
To be honest, I can't say that I'm alright, especially since Felix's foot is right above my sensitive area, so I can't be okay in such a situation.
Unfortunately for my image, I felt a change in the area affected by Felix's touch... Or rather, I felt a rather strong erection... Felix started to realize it, and he blushed like a virgin in love for the first time. The important thing is that after that, he got off me, apologizing. To my surprise, Felix offered me his hand to help me up. Something changed within me with that gesture... I want Felix to become my friend, if not my soulmate...
Anyway, after that, I can only say that I couldn't continue playing, so I sat on the bench to rest after all the events I went through. Honestly, the first half of the match ended with a score of 2-1 in our favor, while the final score was 4-3 in our favor.
We finished the match successfully, filled with joy and exhaustion. As the winning team, it was only fitting that we had a small celebration of the victory. As a true teammate, I convinced my teammates to welcome the players from the opposing team among us. We drank and ate various snacks and encouraged the others, congratulating them for the three goals they scored. The only thing bothering me was one person... Yes, it was Felix...
It wouldn't bother me if he wasn't so distressed and embarrassed, just like when he was above me during the football match. Anyway, it's not like I can go to him and talk to him, so...
"President, is something wrong?" Felix's roommate, Adrien, asked me.
"I'm fine, it's just that Felix doesn't seem to be doing well, don't you think?"
"Well, I guess you're right, but..."
Immediately after this brief conversation with Adrien, Felix's roommate, Jonathan called me over... I hope it's something important so I can leave this party...
"Tell me, Jonathan. What is it?"
"Well, I think you'll have to see this with your own eyes..."
I went with Jonathan to see something... It seems like my fears came true... While we were partying after the football match, Marcus was alone, crying and trying to hurt himself... I don't know what exactly is going on with him, but I don't think I should get involved.
"Maurice, do something..."
"Me? Why? Because I'm his favorite student? Come on, everyone knows you're his favorite student... Go and help him recover..."
"Well... I'll try."
Jonathan entered the chapel and knelt beside Marcus, who was crying. I don't know if Marcus noticed him or not, but he stopped crying for a moment while Jonathan comforted him, encouraging him. Anyway, to my surprise, Marcus rested his head on Jonathan's shoulder, and he started crying again while Jonathan listened to his confession... Well, I'm glad Marcus found someone he can trust, and Jonathan made another friend... A rather boring one, to be honest.
I returned to the party to finish drinking the beer bottles and play another game of pool with Adrien, who had just challenged me to a match.
"Oh, come on, Adrien... It's not like you can beat me at the pool, right?"
"I-I think I can beat you..."
"What are you saying? Want to make a bet?"
"What kind of bet, President?"
"Well... If I win, you have to help me with some tasks until the end of the year, what do you say?"
"And if you lose?"
"If I lose... I'll talk to the director to make you a librarian, as you wanted..."
"Seriously? Then I don't have to lose, right?"
"I think it would be good if I win, though..."
The game started, and I already had a slight advantage over Adrien. Everyone present watched with bated breath as the balls rolled on the table and found their way into the pockets along the edges. I want to believe that I will win...
Felix was one of those who were watching the pool game between me and his roommate... I bet he would do anything for his teammate to win, but unfortunately for the two of them, I won...
"Good game, Adrien. Don't you think?"
"Yes, President... Now I owe you for the bet, right?"
"Yes... You know, I was thinking of talking to the director to give you the librarian position if you want it so badly, don't you think?"
"Seriously? I-I would be grateful for that..."
"Well, just be sure that you'll have to repay me for that with a few small favors..."
"Anything, Your Highness... Thank you for this favor..."
"No need... Anyway, it's not like anyone else wants to become a librarian, don't you think?"
"Well... I want to become one, so-"
"Sorry to interrupt, but I think it's time to go to our rooms... We have the Law class tomorrow, so we need to rest, don't you agree?"
"Sure... Goodnight, President!"
"Goodnight, everyone..."
It seems like everything has become more complicated than before... Honestly, when I came into this world, I thought it would be extremely easy to be in a relationship with Felix, even though I knew I would have to work with his temperament... However, I didn't expect so many things to happen in such a short period.
We arrived in our room, and to my surprise, Jonathan wasn't there. I enjoy being alone, but I can't help but wonder what's happening with him. Is he still with Marcus? I feel sorry for Marcus, especially since he's the only teacher, apart from the principal, who teaches the young nobles. I understand that the courses at this academy last for two years, and we are in the first year of study, with the next year being the completion of our studies at this academy.
The next day, Wednesday, I went to class to prepare for the Law course. I've always liked law, especially because in the world I come from, I was a student at the Law Faculty in Washington, and I was among the top students... Anyway, the law in this world is not too different from the law in my world, so it's not like I have to study anything extra or anything.
"Maurice, are you okay?"
Jonathan's voice snapped me out of my thoughts, bringing me back to reality. One of the things I feared was being completely alone forever, so Jonathan's presence was like a relief for me, if I may say so...
"You didn't come to the room yesterday... What's going on with you, Jonathan, in the past few days?"
"Um, I went to talk to Marcus, and-"
"Wait... Don't tell me that-"
"No... Anyway, he's not the type to do anything obscene... I talked to him about his state of mind, and he told me he was very tired... Even though we're friends, Maurice, I don't think I can tell you his problems, I'm sorry..."
"It's okay... That's why I respect you even more. True friends should keep their friends' secrets, don't you think?"
"That's exactly why I don't want to tell you... Anyway, how are you doing?"
"I'm fine... Anyway, I think it's time to get ready for class, don't you?"
"Yes... Even though I'm Marcus' friend, he is still my teacher, right?"
"Exactly... Let's start with civil law..."
While helping Jonathan understand certain terms, Marcus, our teacher, arrived... To everyone's surprise, he was completely different from before. It was as if he was a completely cheerful person, trying to make jokes while explaining certain laws and concepts to us.
"So, at the end of the class, I have some very important news for you... Next week, we will go on a mountain trip for a few days, and-"
"Father Marcus, excuse me for interrupting, but why don't I know anything about this yet?"
"Maurice, to be honest, I came up with this idea last night and I told the principal about it, and he agreed... So, as I was saying, the rooms will be assigned randomly, so I don't want to hear any arguments among you, okay?"
"S-Sure... Anyway, I think we should discuss this in the next meeting-"
"Maurice, don't spoil the enthusiasm of your classmates... Anyway, I think it's time to draw the tickets that will indicate which rooms you will be staying in... I will also draw a ticket, just like you..."
Each of us had to draw a ticket that had the number of the room where we would be accommodated. Honestly, I don't want to share a room with Felix, but from what I know, even I can't oppose the rules of the Academy, so I won't be able to change rooms if necessary.
"I have number 4..." Jonathan said. "Does anyone else have number 4?"
"Um, I have number 4..." Marcus said, visibly embarrassed.
"Wait, what? I'll be staying in a room with my teacher for a week?"
"Yes... That's right... If that's what fate wanted, I can't oppose it..."
"Maurice, what number do you have?"
"I have number 3... Does anyone else have number 3?"
"I have number 3... Anyway, I don't think I can change rooms, right?"
Wait, Felix will be my roommate for a week? Why is this happening to me? Honestly, I'm afraid of what will happen these days. Anyway, next week will be different, I hope...
After the Law class, we headed to the lunch hall. This time, Marcus was not alone in the hallway; he was with his future roommate, Jonathan.
"Jonathan, can you go to the council room for a moment? You know, I think you forgot something there..."
"What? Come on, Maurice, I need to talk to"
"Jonathan... It might be something important. Can you go and see what it is, and we'll continue the discussion after lunch?"
"Sure... See you..."
"Father, you seem different... Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm doing very well... Anyway, Jonathan is a good boy, he just needs a little polishing..."
"I know... Anyway, thank you for all the effort you put in for us. We don't know what we would do without you..."
"Um, yes... Well-"
"Come on, Marcus... Anyway, I think I can speak with you like that when we're alone... By the way, does Jonathan know who you are?"
"I don't think so... If he knew, he would probably treat me differently and-"
"I'll try to keep the secret... Anyway, I think he came up with the idea for the trip, right?"
"Yes... I felt the need for a nature walk."
Marcus, our teacher, despite being a few years older than me and Jonathan, was our best friend since childhood. In the novel, there was a whole chapter describing the relationship between the three of us and the accident that Jonathan went through, so maybe I'll tell it later. The important thing is that a couple is about to form... I can't wait. The fudanshi in me can't wait!
"Maurice, I'd like to talk to you. Are you free?"
Felix wants to talk to me about something. I sincerely hope it's not a problem, but I don't know what to say...
"Sure... See you later..."
"Maurice, you know I don't like the fact that I have to stay with you for a week, right?"
"I know, and the feeling is mutual. Anyway, it's not like we can change rooms or anything. It's just that-"
My heart starts pounding harder and harder. I feel like I'm losing all the energy from my body, and I'm almost about to faint because of the rapid heartbeat. I hope it's nothing serious, but I don't know what's happening to me when I'm around him...
"Maurice, are you okay?" Felix said as he touched my shoulder.
That touch... It reminds me of someone, but I don't know who... Anyway, it's not like it matters, right?
