An unfortunate romance

I'm currently having training lesson at Oron as usual.
The training is very hard, but I'm also making progress.
During practice fights with Oron I'm able to parry his attacks pretty well already, and sometimes I even manage to hit him.

My new fighting skills might really be useful some day.
In case I encounter dangerous creatures in the wild, I might be able to defend myself. It should be pretty easy to ward off or kill them when taking a real sword with me.

Sina isn't there today, so after training, Oron wants me to stay. I have to bend over a box and show him my ass.
And then I feel something inside my ass.
I can't see, what he's doing, but it's pretty obvious.

It's not the first time he's doing this to me.
I don't like it. He's an ugly old man after all.
But he doesn't do it often. And it's pretty common between male teacher and student.
It's an acceptable price to pay for an otherwise free training. Especially since I often can spend time with his niece afterwards.

Back at home I just take a long shower and everything is fine again.

Some days later I just finished training. Sina has been watching today, so Oron just leaves.
We're alone now.

Sina comes closer.

Hey, nice training. You're getting good, huh?

Yeah, I think so.

Cool...

She keeps standing there and seems a bit nervous.

What is it?

I wanted to ask you something.

Just get it out!

Would you like to go out with me and have some fun today?

Oh, sure, but...

I don't think it's such a good idea to leave without Oron knowing.
He probably wouldn't like that and will be mad at me if he finds out.

Don't worry. Uncle Oron won't find out. He's busy this evening.

Yeah, I'd really like to go out with you.
So if you think it's okay...

Sina nods eagerly.

So do you already have some place in mind?

No, I just want to go outside.
I want to go outside with you, nothing more.
You can decide everthing else.

Okay, let's see where we end up.

We leave the building together. Oron doesn't notice us.
It's already dark outside, but the city lights look beautiful as always. It's something I never really valued before.

Maybe let's go that way.

She points to a bridge.

Sure.

We cross the bridge and walk along a few roads.
After some time we reach a round city square.
In its center there's an old fountain.
Around there are a few benches.

We sit down on one of them together and just enjoy seeing the water in the fountain.
It's really nice here. All the lights illuminating the fountain makes it even more beautiful.

I wonder if I've been here already.
Even if I'm living in this city for my whole life, I never really appreciated places like this before.

You also like it here, right?

Sure, it's nice here.

Cool...

Sina hesitates a bit.

I want to tell you something.

What is it?

Uhm...
I...
I love...
I really like you.

She must feels the same about me, doesn't she?
This is my chance.
I don't hesitate for long. I just pull her toward me and give her a kiss at her mouth.

She seems surprised and slightly resists, but I keep kissing her for a moment.
As I stop, we start staring at each other.
She doesn't seem mad. She looks pretty neutral.
But I'm still not sure if she liked it.

It's late. We should go home now.
Thanks for going out with me today.

She still sounds friendly, but something feels wrong.

She just gets up and starts to go home.
I follow her, but she seems to get faster and faster.
It's difficult to keep up with her. I almost have to run.

She also isn't very talkative anymore.
This must have been a mistake, wasn't it?

Don't you have to go left here?

I'll accompany you back home of course.

I don't want Oron to see you. He might be mad.

If you think so...

Is she just saying this to get rid of me?
At least she has a point.

Okay, then have a good night.

She just walks ahead and leaves without saying anything.
So I go left and then walk to my apartment.

Back at home I really have to think about this.
Maybe she really didn't want this?
She must really be mad at me and tried her best to hide it.
I hope I didn't mess up completely.

I probably shouldn't worry that much, though.
When I come back to her tomorrow, everything will be fine again, right?
She really wanted to get home so fast so Oron wouldn't notice. That must be it.
My worries are totally unjustified.

I get into bed and try to sleep.
But I can't stop thinking about her.
I try to convince myself that there's nothing I can do now.
It's better to sleep over it, especially if she's mad at me.
But it's not easy to convince me.
I really try, but I just can't sleep.
I have to visit her now!

I get up, go outside again and visit Oron.
It's too late to visit him. He might be mad.
But I don't mind this night.

I knock at the door. It takes a while, then Oron opens.

Oh, so late? What is it?

Uhm...

Did you forget something?
Is it really important?
I can get it for you.

I wanted to talk to Sina. Can I come in?

Oron starts to look nervous.

I don't think she has time for you now.

Please! It's important!

I...
Uhm...
She...

While Oron tries to get out some words, I notice Sina walking along the corridor behind Oron. I just see her for a moment, while she's behind the half opened door.

It seemed like she didn't wear...
I just must have seen her completely naked.
Why?

I probably didn't look correctly.

Okay, I'll... talk to her. I'll be right back.

He closes the door. After a while Sina opens the door again herself.
She wears only short clothes. She only wears them loosely.
Did she just quickly put them on right now?
Does this mean, she was really...?

She's kind of sexy this way, but something seems weird about her.
She looks kind of sad and tired.
Oron wouldn't...?

Please leave! I don't want to see you now.
It's probably better if we don't spend time together anymore!
At least for now.

Does she really mean it?
My feelings go wild.
If she, the only person I really care about, doesn't want to spend time with me anymore...
I even think about giving her another kiss, but this might be the worst I can do in this situation.

I should keep calm. If I just accept it, she might change her mind rather sooner than later.

If you really think it's best.
I'm sorry if I did anything wrong.
But if you want, I'll try not to get too close.

No, I'm the one who should be sorry.
Thanks for your understanding.

Sina even gives me a hug, then she lets go of me and even starts to push me outside while sadly looking away from me.

So I leave and she closes the door.
Now my feelings are even worse than before. I'm also really nervous.
But I'm probably tired enough to fall asleep anyway. At least I hope so as I walk back home.
