I haven't gotten to Idia's book yet so things might be incorrect

I opened my eyes to see the pale room I was given ever since I was kidnapped by those strange soldiers from S.T.Y.X.

I put on my white uniform that was given to me on the same day.

It was only 2am. I shouldn't be out of bed, but I could not sleep. I walked into the hallway, seeing the other bedrooms that hold other research subjects like myself.

There was a blue glow coming from a different hallway. This hallway only had one room at the end of it. Must be Idia's room.

I wandered into the main area, where there was a long table and a screen. I remembered seeing that poorly done "welcome to S.T.Y.X.!" video that Idia used to make things less terrifying after the sudden kidnapping.

I noticed the place wasn't as guarded as I thought it would be. Did the guards all have a bed time like the research subjects?

There was another hallway adjacent to the hallway that held Idia's room. This hallway had a few rooms, but one thing caught my eye.

Ortho.

Ortho was turned off, it almost looked like he was in some kind of stasis pod.

"He can't hear or see me if he's powered off, right...?"

I continue to wander the halls. I did end up checking out the blue glow coming from the hall from Ortho's room.

It was Idia's room.

And Idia was awake.

But it looked like Idia did not really care that I was out of my room.

"Y/n?" He softly called out to me.

"Er- y-yes?" I answer.

"Why are you out of your room?"

"I'm sorry, I'll go back to bed."

Idia put his tablet down. He sat up from his bed, hair messy, looking very tired.

"We are friends, right?" He asked.

The question caught me off guard.

"Yes, of course we are. We've known each other since elementary school."

Idia seemed nervous.

"Can you come in?" He asked.

I nodded slightly and stepped into his room, sitting on his bed. His room was dark except for the blue glow of his monitors.

"Are you okay?" I asked, noticing my friend was crying.

"I'm fine, I just don't want you to hate me." The words shook like a leaf.

"Aww, Idia, sweetie... I honestly think doing research on the overblot students is smart, especially since overblotting is rare. But I do have to admit that kidnapping was a bit excessive. I still have bruises from the soldiers grabbing me."

Idia was astonished at my reply.

"S-Seriously? You're still my friend, then?" He asked.

"Forever!"

Idia's cheeks went pink. He had a sharp toothed grin.

"Whee hee hee!"

"Well, it was very nice talking to you. I think I'll head to bed now." I got up.

"T-That is okay. Good night, Y/n."

The next night, I woke up at 1am. I got up, got dressed and headed to that area with the long table and screen. I was surprised to see Idia sitting at the table, doing work on his tablet. It was dark in the room, but just light enough to see.

"Oh, it's just you. You scared me!" I laughed gently.

Idia smiled at me.

"Did you know your heartbeat increases every time you're around me?"

"Oh."

"And your body temperature levels sky rocket if I hold your hand." He added.

"Oh."

"Can you tell me why?"

"Umm..." does he know? Does he know that I've had a crush on him ever since middle school?

Idia smirked. I can tell he was back to his dominant side instead of the quiet side.

Idia got up, getting very close to me. He was inches from my face. I leaned back against the table.

"I-Idia?"

"I have liked you for a very long time." He whispered. His voice was smooth and relaxing.

I looked at his blue lips, feeling drawn to kiss him. To touch him. To have him as my own.

Idia's hair was very pink. His eyes were filled with a certain hunger.

I noticed Idia was too shy to make a bold move, so I pressed my lips to his.

Even the smallest kiss had Idia let out a small moan. I could tell he's never done this with anyone.

Idia's hair was bright pink.

I leaned him back against the table, kissing him deeply.

Idia's back touched the table, he surrendered to me.

"Y/n... I-I..."

"Heheh... well um. We should probably get to bed now. Your bags are only getting worse." I kiss his cheek.

As I was about to walk off, my hand was grabbed.

"W-Wait. Can you...Can we cuddle? In my room?" Idia looked away as he asked this.

"Oh-! Aww, of course!"

We both got into his room. He closed the door behind me, holding me close once we were in bed. I was smaller compared to him and fit perfectly in his grasp.

We both ended up falling asleep in each other's arms.
