It was incredible how much you liked Trey.

Grim was deliberately teasing you, of course, because it couldn't be any other way. In the end, even though you didn't know each other much, it was obvious to him. That's what happens when you spend so much time with each other.

Trey was pretty famous outside, too, and you were sure he was also quite popular with the girls (and guys, of course).

He was handsome, kind, polite, and very responsible.

Practically unattainable.

And well, you didn't even possess any magic. You were so mundane that you didn't even stand out.

Still, that didn't mean your friendship wasn't blossoming and bearing fruit.

So when you found out he was injured, you were seconds away from heading to the Heartslabyul dorms.

Suspicions that people were deliberately harming students rang in your ears as you watched and talked with your friends in their dorm, Trey bedridden and a cast.

You decided to talk to Riddle and Cater about it with the rest of them, without Trey, so as not to worry him. Later, the redhead asked you to babysit the green-haired boy for a while, with a smile that made you suspect your feelings were written all over your forehead.

When you entered, you sat on the edge of the bed with a tray of sweets the dorm members had prepared as a gift for their beloved vice house-warden.

Trey smiled at you mischievously.

"What did you want to talk to Cater about?" His question was innocent, and redirecting his intentions. Even though he asked with innocent mischief, implying that you liked Cater, you knew he was trying to hide something. You could tell.

Could it be...?
