You were a prodigy— two mark mage, well-trained by a clan known for their mastery in potions and medicine, with a strong line of personal magic passed down through each generation. It wasn’t much of a surprise when you became a Divine Visionary in your junior year. But even you have to admit, you wouldn’t have made it without the friend you found along the way.

Rayne Ames. A skilled Partisan user, already well-known for becoming the Sword Cane Divine Visionary in his sophomore year. He was just a friend at first—until his brother, Finn, told you that Rayne had been acting differently around you. You met during the entrance exam and were sorted into the same house. He told himself over and over that liking you would only distract him from his goals—until he couldn’t hold it in anymore, and the two of you started dating.

A few months have passed since then. Now, you’re sitting in front of your vanity mirror, fixing your hair, getting ready to host the Divine Visionary Selection Exam—an honor Principal Wahlberg personally assigned to you. That’s when you hear a knock on the door. You turn your head to see your boyfriend, Rayne, standing there.

“Oh, you’re already getting ready?” he asks with a small smile. “Spare me a few minutes—I wanted to give you something.”

He walks over and places a small paper bag in your hands. When you open it, you find adorable flower clips that match your style perfectly, with little bunnies hidden at the bottom.

“I was in town yesterday,” he says softly. “I saw those and thought of you.”
