Even if Kyoko told me I should get some rest, I couldn't... I was rolling around my bed trying to fall into slumber, but I was failling in vain. I let a sigh out and stared at the ceilling. I would of took a hot shower to try and calm my nerves, but the water was shut off and I couldn't make myself  anything to fall asleep since well the dinning hall is closed for the night. There was only one place I could go and it was the bathhouse. 

I got up and made my way there, but was interupted by Kyoko.

Kyoko: Where do you think you're going?

Athea: The bathouse, I simply need to relax a bit...

She looked at me for a second. 

Kyoko: Be careful. 

I noded and headed there, although I hadn't realize someone was following me. I removed my jacket and placed it on the bench when I heard Celeste.

Celeste: Breaking the nighttime rule now are we.

I turned around to face her only to be met with a glare. 

Athea: I couldn't sleep and thought that coming her would help me a bit.

Celeste: I see well you still broke the rule, which is inexcusable, but I guess that if someone keeps an eye on your it's fine, perhaps may I accompagny you, I know last time our time was cut short.

Athea: Sure.... I guess.

Celeste: Well, I do apologize if I made you uncomfortable last time. 

Athea: It's fine.

Celeste: I see then shall we?

She walked to the opposite of the room and started to get undressed, I did the same looking away out of respect. We both went in and entered the water. I sink myself in, letting the water barely touch my chin. I laid my head on the edge and looked at the ceilling.

Celeste: You seem a bit more comfortable then last time Dear.

Athea: Since you know my secret now... it's less embarassing.

Celeste: You don't need to be embarass about it. Although I have a question for you.

I looked at her.

Celeste: This might sound odd, coming from me at least, but what do you think of me. I know my little confession of the other day might have been a bit rushed so I just want to know your impression of me.

Indeed it did sound odd coming from her mouth. I always thought she would be one not to care about what others think of her. You could tell just by the way she dress.

Athea: Well... I think that even if you can be cold you have another side to you... We all do. Though sometimes it can be though, with me it doesn't seem as bad. Even as the "Queen of Liars" you're an honest person in your own ways. I have to admit, I do like who you are Celeste.

A genuine smile appeared on her face

Celeste: Well thank you, it seems you have quite the analysis, perhaps those feelings towards me might be more, romantic than you imagined?

Athea: You probably noticed already... Even if I can't really understand my emotions that well... you must have noticed for sure.

Celeste: Actually I'm asking you to tell me how you feel.

Athea: I do have to admit, our times together were rather odd, but pleasant... I didn't mind hanging out with you... I was never one to believe in things as true love or soulmates, but I don't know... maybe these stories aren't as far fetch as I imagined them to be.... Although our relationship is like two side of a coin, on one end being with you is amazing, but being without you is like something missing. I guess you could say my feelings are indeed more than being just friends.
