Idia Shroud was a massive cat lover.. in fact.. he spent some of his time trying to pet Grim-- never really had any success tho. So when a certain lion beast-man spawned in his life, he found it to be a total level-up! Thing is.. he's an antisocial shut-in.. there was no way a beastman like Leona would even look his way! right?? After all.. Leona made it quite obvious that Idia ticked him the wrong way...

It was currently class time, Idia painfully had to be in-person today. "sheesh, I hate being surrounded by extrovert normies.." Idia pondered to himself. However, at least he got to take totally not subtle glances at Leona! Idia sighs dreamily, gazing at the male lion that was sat across from him. those kitty ears... he must purr like one.. right?--

"..I wonder if they're... soft-- agh! stop thinking that brain!.."

Idia scolds himself internally, the tips of his blue-flame hair turning pink. He buries his face into his hands, irritated at himself for thinking such things!! gosh.. it's like he's an otome MC, gag!!

He nibbled on his bottom lip, just staring at the back of the lion's head... anxiously trying to rid his brain of these thoughts. Not realizing he was muttering and fidgeting to himself..

While he dealt with internal battles, suddenly... he'd hear a deep voice speak up over him.

erk-- It was Leona?!
