"What did you say? Can you repeat?" Gaea made sure, not believing what she had just heard, she wanted to hear it again, hearing Eryk say she could not lose herself.
Eryk exhaled. "I can't lose you." he repeated happily.
"Huh?" is this Gaea's feeling or is Eryk's speech different from the first? More in the direction of taunting than it was that serious.
Eryk grinning. "What's? Gaea, you're important to me, you're my fiancee, I've failed to protect Katherine so obviously I don't want to lose you either."
Gaea clenched her hands; so all of this was due to the Katherine effect as well? Stupidly she was hoping Eryk might start thinking of her as a woman instead of a tool. "I'm out" he said.
Eryk held Gaea by his hand. "You have to practice firstβhuh?" he felt his nose start to itch, he knew what this was and immediately moved away from Gaea. "You touched that thing before you got here?"
Gaea was dumb-eyed; at this time of fuss about her cat? "Star? Of course he's my pet."
"Hachi!" Eryk sneezed immediately that made Gaea automatically move away.
"Hey! You should cover your sneezing with a tissue or sneezing in your inner elbow, Eryk! How about you transmit the virus!?" gaea panicked.
"I'm healthy, it's also because you touched the creature," Eryk defended himself, covering his nose with his shirt and inevitably exposing his abdominal muscles.
Gaea was hysterical to see it. "What are you doing!? Put your clothes down, Eryk!" shameful.
Eryk laughed bitterly at this moment of crisis?Gaea was even worried about her abdominal muscles? "If you want me to take my shirt down, get out and clean yourself from the creature's fur" she said coldly.
Gaea without further ado came out, cleaned up the feathers of the Star that was still attached to the shirt, then returned, immediately changing the topic so as not to tease Eryk that he was weak to see the young man's body. "I've learned martial arts, Young Master so can you let me go?" insinuations.
"really? I want to see what you can do, Princess," Eryk replied insinuatingly, he took down his shirt to inhale what was still the fur of the cat; it was not so he kept his words, lowered his clothes.
Gaea took a breath, calm down, just a moment won't be long. He followed Eryk. "Who's my opponent?" tanyanya nervous.
"Who else? Who did you see?" Eryk asked back, wanted to test Gaea's feelings, he did think the time of the kiss was just carried away but who knows he can see from here.
Seeing?
Gaea's green eyes were fixed on Eryk who instantly also had a grin appear on the young man's lips, he immediately turned his eyes to Ferdinand who was beside Eryk. "Ferdinand.. Can you help me?" tanyakanya.
"Surely," Ferdinand answered briefly, standing before Gaea.
Gaea got ready, but immediately Eryk blocked Ferdinand's body. "What are you doing!?"
Still with a grin, Eryk said. "You don't need Ferdinand, you're trained by your own fiancee, Princess." God.
"I want Ferdinand" said Gaea.
"Your eyes say another, Gaea." Eryk replied strongly, "Give me your best shot that too if you can touch me," the fishing rod.
"You asked for it, Young Master" said Gaea really rose in blood, he went back in a row, choosing which one he should attack, because Eryk spoke a lot earlier, he decided to strike the young man's throat.
Eryk himself was surprised but could dodge, only their skin touched a little. He looked deeply at Gaea, analyzing what Gaea had done.
Gaea himself frustrated to not succeed, then attacked again this time his goal Eryk blue eyes that he liked.
Eryk who was not ready, hit by a blow Gaea to make him take a step back, he held his eyes, but before having time to process what happened, Gaea had attacked again this time his heart. "Fuβ"
Gaea himself was proud of himself. "Will again? Less?" she asked; still dare to say that it cannot be touched? Should he slam Eryk to keep the young man quiet?
"Ugh," still holding his heart, Eryk straightened his body. "I think you can handle me enough."
Gaea laughed even battered so still pretentious cool. "You lost, sir."
"To be honest, you've battered Eryk." Ferdinand commented with his laughter. "I don't know what's going on with you until you don't focus so, but seeing you battered is fun too, hahaha..."
Gaea laughed with Ferdinand. "He's so arrogant."
"Yes, yes, just laugh until you're satisfied." said Eryk as he lay down his body on the chair, grimacing again. "Where did you learn jeet kune do?"
"Studying?" Gaea asked back.
"Yes, learn." said Eryk repeating.
"Uh... Ava?" gaea said nervously; to be honest he learned from the special Police when he was in legal protection because of the case of his parents; they think teaching the technique of jeet kune do is the right thing considering that the police have not found the perpetrator of the murder of his parents.
'Until now.' said Gaea in his heart.
"You okay?" asked Ferdinand.
Gaea nodded weakly.
Eryk stood up. "I think that's enough, now I want you to learn how to shoot."
Gaea's eyes widened in shock. "Shoot?"
Eryk nodded. "I made sure you were really ready to protect yourself."
"No! Nah! And no!" gaea said annoyed; he would not learn to shoot, there are many reasons he did not want, first because the gun killed his parents, second he did not have a permit to hold a gun, he did not have a license, third, she is just an ordinary woman with an ordinary life so why learn to shoot?
Eryk exhaled, reminding him that Gaea was more stubborn than Lola. "I understand you still don't want to, so I set up a backup for you, you practice archery."
"Why?" even stranger.
"Indeed, guns and archery are different, but they have something in common: practicing sharpness and concentration, are you a good fit, or just boxing?" Eryk thought about what suited Gaea.
"No, no, and no!" Gaea rejected it outright. "I'm an ordinary woman not a secret agent or anything like that, you're too paranoid Eryk."
"You're too innocent Gaea, we don't know what we're up against so obviously I'm worried about you, you'll remember about your apartment incident. Do you still consider you an ordinary woman?" eryk said a little insinuating, Gaea is too positive with something that must awaken Gaea and is the one who will do it.
"It's just a coincidence, we're on the hunt, right?" Gaea still doesn't want to lose.
Eryk began to lose his patience. "I already know what really happened between you and Aizawa." he lured.
Gaea was surprised; Eryk already knew? Then the matter of the kiss he made must be that Eryk also realized it was just a lie from him; wanted to feel like he disappeared from here right now.
"I've given you a choice" said Eryk, satisfied to leave Gaea speechless. "And the answer is tomorrow at the latest."
"Tomorrow!?" exclaimed Gaea in disbelief; too soon.
"I don't have time for your feelings of anxiety, I have a lot of work" said Eryk after this he wanted to track down the sender of the letter about Katherine not yet the documents to be signed by him. "If you've agreed please contact me."
Gaea was downcast, why did Eryk always force her to do things she did not like, and what was the matter with Katherine? "Before that I want to protest!" yells.
"What else?" Eryk hopes it's not unimportant given this Gaea asked for.
"I want normal food not diet food, Eryk." Gaea protested. "You too, try chocolate or soda, you'll love it..."
"You eat what is," Eryk refused to obey, expecting Gaea to ask unimportant things. Junk food is not important.
Gaea puffed her cheeks in annoyance. "Then I go back to the apartment." he threatened.
"Do you dare set foot there? Let's try me, Gaea." Eryk threatened back.
"Then give me normal food." Gaea did not give up. "Normal food or I'm gone."
Silent...
They both stared at each other.
Seconds by second passed, still no one was willing to give up.
"Just follow him, Eryk." Ferdinand, who was just watching, was tired of seeing them fighting all the time, was initially exciting but boring too.
Eryk breathed in deeply. "All right," he said giving up at last.
Gaea clapped his victorious hands.
Eryk patted his forehead and walked lethargic out of the sports room. "Why does he always win over me?" mumbling slowly.
