"Bye" I watch Kaeya run out of the room he seemed in such a rush. I look at the clock and see it was 4:00. So he's late for his own club explains the panic but that doesn't explain why he asked me to go over to the fencing club why.
I might as well since Klee will be at Qiqi's till 5 so I have the free time.

Every Tuesday Klee and her friend Diona go over to Qiqi's house it was first just Klee since I was busy with alchemy club and couldn't keep an eye on her so she started going over Qiqi's dad is really nice about it but I think it's mostly because of Alice that he does it but I don't know what Alice does for him.

I decide I should just go back to my sketching since I have to wait here for half an hour and I don't need to tidy up the caretakers clean up after clubs and Lisa always goes round picking up the books after the clubs finished. I pull out my sketchbook and flick to the page I was working on earlier but I notice the hands where more detailed compared to how I usually do it they where different. I look at the sketches for a few minutes till I realise why they were different...

They where Kaeya's hands

They had his rings and where in all the positions he held them in when we where in the library. Holding his sub, on his knees and many of the gestures he made while he spoke. Some of the bigger drawings I had even included the freckles.

Why did I draw his hands why if I just referenced his poses then okay but I drew his rings and all the little details. Can I really go there now, why did I recognise them was I staring at his hands I'm not even his friend.....
Or am I ...

We have talking all day and I would be lying to myself if I said I didn't enjoy our conversations and it was fun making him all nervous when I jumped off the table. I look down at my waist where Kaeya had placed his hand . I didn't even realise he was holding me was he just not fully touching me but that was a lie cause I felt it, but it felt ....
natural......

I look up at the clock and it's nearly half so I pack up my stuff until I notice something shiny on the floor. I walk over and it's a ring one of Kaeya's, I pick it up and put it in my pocket and I grab my bag and start walking to the fencing club. It was held in the gym but to get there from here I would have to pass near the entrance so I could change my mind last minute and just walk home but now I had his ring to return but I could just give it to him tomorrow but no Albedo you can do this it's nothing he asked you to check it out so you are going to check it out.

Before I know it I am standing in front of the gym. I reach out for the handle but hesitating to open the door. After a minute or so I finally open the door and walk in.

Everyone in there was in there gear so I couldn't recognise anyone even if they didn't have the masks on I probably wouldn't anyway, unlike Kaeya I only know people who are in the M block and since different blocks don't have overlapping classes they only interactions are at clubs and lunch but even at that the lunches are swapped around so it's only 2 or 3 blocks depending on the time at one lunch because if all 7 blocks had lunch at the same time it would be chaos.Kaeya was friendly with people in all different blocks so he nearly always has plenty of friends to hang out with.

I sit down off to the side and watch as the pairs fence. I try to figure out which one is Kaeya but I can't tell I could guess but that's just a guess. I watch as they keep on practicing I eventually figure out which one was Kaeya because he kept going around helping people and as the club president that was his job .
