His and Her Blue Festival

Chapter 3: Questioning Emotional Meanings

(I always love how Azul breaks down in any situation that does not go his way at times. It is hilarious and relatable.... Regardless, I do enjoy how I wrote Lauriam just babysitting a bunch of teenagers who are chaotic with magic. Enjoy!)

              The next day, students were happily going about the festival and talent show. Well, almost everyone. With their teachers busy at Noble Bell College and the Keyblade Wielders and dorm leaders watching over their classmates, there were no classes. It was a week off from school. The students were enjoying themselves and enjoying the fun talent show activities. Except for one.

"I can't believe her!" Azul answered in a loud voice as he was pacing around the lounge with the twins staring at their friend with concern, "She played me! She played me well! How could I have not seen it?!"

The twins weren't sure what their dear friend was meaning, but they did know who he was referring to. Ever since they saw Mari's performance, Azul wasn't himself. He was muttering and contemplating about her. Though, they were relieved it wasn't Rielle causing this trouble.

"Eh, what's not to believe?" Floyd asked as he leaned back in the purple booth he was sitting at, "Cleaner fish is just a good dancer. I think you're reading too much into this. She didn't put that much thought into whatever you're thinking, Azul"

Azul stopped in his tracks, stared at Floyd, and chuckled, a little madly as he placed his hands on his hips.

"Oh, she wouldn't waste her time on someone like me when there's Rielle" Azul slowly spoke and realized with his eyes growing wider, "Who's probably informed her about my hideous form, magic, and oh, who would ever want me?!"

His voice was going into hysterics with disbelief and uncertainty, making Floyd laugh while Jade sighed.

"He's fairly handsome, has a good voice for both talking and singing, not to mention he's a prince!" Azul exclaimed as he gripped his pen.

There was a knock at the door to the closed lounge as Ruggie, Jamil, and Kalim entered.

"Is everything ok? We heard screaming" Kalim asked being the only one who cared enough to ask.

Azul sharply turned around, panting with wide eyes as he saw them enter.

"Leave me alone!" he declared, "WHO IN THE GREAT SEVEN WOULD EVEN WANT ME?!"

He bolted away, towards his office. Azul slammed the door, making everyone jump. Jamil and Ruggie were surprised, eyes wider and ears perked up for Ruggie's case. Kalim blinked, unsure of what just happened. Floyd was the only one laughing as he realized what had happened with his twin holding a pensive expression.

"I heard yelling, what did you do?" Lauriam asked as he entered coming from the dorms and looking at the twins.

"Eh, why are you looking at me?" Floyd asked annoyed, "I haven't done anything yet. I am planning something!"

"And that's what has me worried. Please tell me nothing serious nor dangerous happened while I was busy checking on the students from Royal Sword" Lauriam asked seriously with one hand on his hip and the other gesturing to the students before them.

"Uh, I am not sure" Kalim admitted as he glanced to Jamil with a hopeful expression, "But I am sure Jamil knows! He knows everything!"

"I am not helping Azul" Jamil answered with a deadpanned expression, crossing his arms, and looking away.

"What?! Azul needs help?!" Kalim asked surprised with his vice dorm leader sighing.

"Ah, he's entranced by the dancer" Lauriam reasoned, "A lot of the students were as well. She's very good"
