Jamil is surprised to see Silver in the gym during one of his practices.
He's even more surprised to see him waiting for him after it's over.
But he doesn't avoid the other man. He can't, even if he wanted to.
Silver's just someone that he's never been able to ignore, even when he realized why.
Stupid heart falling for someone like Silver.
Someone who can measure up, even if he falls asleep all the time.
Someone who could kick his ass if necessary.
Competence is fucking hot, and Silver is sexier than anyone Jamil's ever felt something for.
"Didn't you have your own club to go to?" asks Jamil with an arched brow as he reaches Silver.
"Riddle canceled it because there was an issue in Heartslabyul that he had to take care of," replies Silver with a shrug as though that was the actual question Jamil was asking. "I wanted to ask you a question, so I came here. But you were busy, so I waited."
"Okay, so what's your question?" asks Jamil as he adjusts his bag on his shoulder.
"Do you think you could help me study for the Alchemy exam on Friday?" asks Silver quietly as he tips his head to the side.
"Shouldn't you be asking Lilia or Malleus? Or even Riddle? You have several people who would help you study, Silver. Why are you asking me?" asks Jamil as his brows furrow while he stares into purple eyes.
"Because I want you to help me," replies Silver easily with a shrug. "Is that so crazy that you have to question why I'd come to you about studying Alchemy when you have so much potential?"
"Who told you about that?" Jamil's voice hisses through his teeth as he narrows his dark eyes on Silver.
"Didn't have to ask for the information," replies Silver as he tips his head to the side. He's smug, and Jamil hates how cute it looks on him. "It was handed to me when I talked to our professor about who to ask to help me study for the upcoming exam."
"Of course it was," grumbles Jamil as he pinches the bridge of his nose. "Why did you listen when you knew there were other options who were more likely to say yes?"
"Because you won't say no," replies Silver while stepping forward, and Jamil's fingers drop, eyes flying open to look at him. "Jamil, it's a study date. You help me confirm that I'm ready for this exam, and I finally get to kiss you instead of watching your eyes fall to my lips again."
"I guess you're right then," says Jamil softly as he leans forward. "I can't say no to that."
Silver grins as he leans forward and presses a gentle kiss to Jamil's cheek.
"Text me when you want to meet," murmurs Silver before he turns and leaves, the tips of his ears burning through silver strands.
Jamil cannot wait for their study date.
