Chapter 32 - Riveria's Lesson

Sitting on the bed, Riveria saw Ais' determined expression while Lefiya had a blush on her face. Seeing them 'ready' she inhaled before saying

"Ais, we need to start from what common sense is."

Hearing this, she hardened her previous relaxed expression

"I don't know what Ethan taught you, can you tell me?"

She immediately replied

"When I was close to him, he said he wanted...to kiss me. I asked what a kiss was and, explaining it, we tried different types..."

With a sigh, Riveria thought she understood the situation

"Did he..teach you anything other than kisses?"

Such a question brought a confused expression on her face

"No..why?"

With a sigh of relief, she replied

"I will explain in future lessons"

Lefiya, with a completely red face, said

"I-I-I knew E-Ethan wouldn't do s-such a thing!"

Sighing again, Riveria said

"I needed to be sure"

Her confused expression didn't dissipate until Riveria muttered

"Ethan didn't go further, so I won't punish him so much"

Seeing the confused expression of Ais and the questioning expression of Lefiya, she said

"Don't worry about it, Ais, I will teach you how to 'act' with Ethan in public."

Inhaling another time, she said

"You should hold back and not act too intimately with him in public. This is because people are normally embarrassed to act intimately in a place where there are others. To make you an example, would you like to be seen by others while kissing Ethan?"

Hearing her question, she thought for a moment before replying

"I won't..mind.."

Expecting this, she added

"If I tell you that there's something more intimate than kissing, and that requires you to be n.a.k.e.d, would you say the same thing?"

Remembering Riveria's previous teachings, she said

"No.."

Nodding her head, she added

"That's what common sense is. You need to understand what's bad to do in front of others and what's not. I made you an extreme example, to make you one about kisses, you should kiss Ethan 'lightly'. I hope this will be explained by E--"

Before she could continue, she heard a knock.

"I'm Ethan, can I enter?"

Hearing it was Ethan, Ais went towards the door without answering. Opening the door, Ethan saw Riveria and Lefiya stare at him. Raising his hands in surrender, he said

"I wanted to be taught by Riveria, I lived for 15 years while Riveria has certainly lived at least twice as much---"

Seeing the [Magna Alfs] hit his head, she said

"Try to say something about my age again.."

Feeling the pain, he replied

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to make you angry..."

Sighing, she looked at Ais.

'This may actually be better than teaching only Ais ..'

"You can enter, but stop act in such a way otherwise I'll hit you again"

Nodding his head, Ais and Ethan sit on the bed, close enough to make Lefiya uncomfortable. Placing herself close to Ais, Riveria said

"I was talking about common sense, but I can't make her understand because I don't know the extent of your actions."

Ethan, looked at Ais and, with a smile, he said

"I was listening to your conversation. Ais, we should only do something like this.."

bringing his lips to hers, he kissed her. He felt the same butterflies and his heart beating faster but, without losing his focus and starting kissing her more passionately, he stopped.

This display made Lefiya look at them with a blush while Riveria sighed another time.

Seeing their action end, Riveria said

"Do you understand, Ais?"

Nodding her head with a 'blush' on her face, Riveria and Lefiya were surprised by such a reaction

'kiss Ethan...is so good that even Ais...'

Covering her face with her hands, Lefiya wanted to run away but, before she could, the two had already stopped.

Seeing the focused expression of Ais and Ethan pay full attention to her, she decided not to question his 'methods'.

"Now, Ethan didn't teach you the next step. The decision is up to you, should I teach you how to 'go further?'"

Reflecting on her words for a moment, she looked towards Ethan. Seeing him nod, she said

"Teach us..how to go further."

Lefiya, started to let her mind travel but, before she could, Riveria replied

"Good, To 'go further' there are steps necessary to continue. first you must trust each other. It's important when you want to 'try' new things Ethan will explain you. I will just teach you how to be prepared. You should..."

Listening to every single word Riveria was saying, he felt happy to be in such a strange situation. The same couldn't be said for Lefiya, even if she was the one to 'ask' to be taught, she felt so embrassed that her hands still covered her face.

Seeing this, Ethan was about to put a hand on her shoulder but, remembering Elves doesn't like contact from the ones they don't love. He just said

"Lefiya, are you okay?"

Hearing his words, she looked at him before saying

"I-I'm okay..."

Sighing, he replied

"You shouldn't force yourself. If you are embrassed to listen to what Riveria is saying---"

Seeing her stopping covering her face with a 'determined' look, he was surprised because the Lefiya he knew wasn't so 'courageous'. With a smile, he heard her say

"I want to stay, don't worry.. about me"

Admiring her determination, he nodded before saying

"Sorry, Seeing you so embrassed made me think you wanted to leave, I was worried that you didn't have the courage to do it.."

Hearing this, Lefiya felt confused

"How come you worry so much about me?"

With a smile, he said

"At first I thought you wanted to get me away from Ais but, you never did something like that, you always thought about Ais' feelings and, seeing she was 'happy' with me, you decided to support her. I admire how you place Ais over yourself, you are so kind that my first impression of you makes me feel bad about it... From the moment I understood your personality better, I wanted to be friends with you.."

With her heart beat faster, she thought about his words for a moment, she muttered

"F-F-Friends.."

Seeing her strange reaction, Ethan had a bad feeling but, deciding to ignore it, he added

"Yes, Friends.."

Feeling strangely disappointed, she decided to let the matter lay...for now.

"W-We should listen to Riveria now.."

Nodding, he returned to Ais. He had doubts about her reaction

'Impossible...right..?'

Meanwhile, Riveria was continuing to explain to Ais how she should 'prepare' but, her last words made her eyes shine.

"...and that's how you can prepare to 'make love' with Ethan"

Seeing a surprised expression instead of a confused one, she added

"..Ais? Is everything--"

Before she could continue, Ais muttered

"Make love.."

Trying to understand what she understood from those words, she replied

"Yes, make love.."

Ethan, smiled at Ais' 'understanding'. He didn't know what she understood but, with a smile on his face, he said

"We shouldn't go directly to that step Ais..ok?"

Nodding, she replied

"Take our time..."

Even if she didn't understand why, she decided to trust Riveria and Ethan's suggestion to 'wait'. With a 'loving' smile, he said

"Ais, would you like to be my girlfriend?"

Lefiya expected something like this to happen but, the fact she was here to witness this brought a shocked expression on her face.

'I thought..he would have asked her privately.."

Bringing her hand on her c.h.e.s.t, she decided to observe the situation without utter a word.

Riveria, without having the shocked expression on her face showed, she decided to act the same as Lefiya.

Meanwhile, Ais thought about his words, muttering

"Your...girlfriend..."

Understanding he needed to explain it more, he said

"Being my girlfriend means that we are the same as always, the only thing that changes is, when someone asks what relationship we are in, I can say..."

Intertwining their hands, he continued

"That you are the person I love"

Hearing his words, Ethan was able to see the hint of a 'real smile' on her face. Feeling as if they were alone in the room, his smile didn't dissipate while he looked directly in her golden eyes. Surprising everyone in the room, Ais replied

"I don't need to be your girlfriend in that case... You can say I am the person you love--"

He wanted to laugh for a moment but, understanding she was seriously considering his words even if she didn't understand, he added

"I know, I will never be shy to say to someone you are the person I love. I was asking because being my girlfriend means we are an official couple.."

With the misunderstanding cleared, she said

"In that case... I want to be your girlfriend.."

Ethan, while Ais was talking, was on the [System Shop], searching for something...

'Found it!'

Paying 10.000SP, he finally bought the item Light suggested previously. Getting out of bed, they saw him kneel in front of Ais with a smile.

Understanding what was happening, Lefiya and Riveria was even more shocked but, this time, Riveria had a smile on her face.

'I never thought I would witness something like this'

Making a small little cube appear in his hand, he locked his eyes with hers.

"I will repeat it another time..would you be my girlfriend?"

Opening the 'box' while talking, she saw a ring with something similar to a 'pearl' set in the centre. Feeling a tumult of different emotions, Ais returned her eyes on Ethan. She felt so happy all of sudden but, without minding it, she said

"Yes..."

Nodding, he took the ring from the box. With a slow move, he put the ring on her ring finger

(A/N: The ring finger is the one next to the little finger on the left hand if you don't know)

Seeing this action, Ais looked at her own hand. She understood this was something to confirm their relationship but the emotions she felt made her feel heat all over her body.

Seeing this emotional moment, Lefiya couldn't resist anymore. With a hurried move, she jumped on Ais, with tears all over her face

"Congratulations...Ais!!"

Seeing her crying, Ais was tempted to ask if there was something wrong but, repressing her question, she replied

"Thanks..Lefiya"

Meanwhile, Ethan blacked out for some moments but, he was put back to awareness the moment Riveria pat his head, saying

"Congratulations"

Nodding, he repressed the urge to cry, replying

"I feel like..my life started from this moment.."

Laughing, Riveria took her hand away from his head, saying

"Treat her well...She deserves it"

Smiling, Ethan looked again at Ais that was being embraced by Lefiya, saying

"I'll do my best...from now on..."

With a sigh, Riveria decided to exit the room, adding

"Tomorrow we will have another lesson"

Taking advantage of the fact that Ais was busy with Lefiya, Ethan rearranged his thoughts..

'I will repay you one day, Riveria'

(A/N: Well, What do you think about this chapter? I want opinions...you can say 'Hmph, he just wants some more comments'. No, I want to know if I made you feel the emotions Ethan and Ais felt. Say whatever you feel is right for this chapter, I want to know.)

(A/N: I didn't put the description of the ring for an obvious reason. I will talk about the ring in the next chapter)
