“Wait for it,” he stated.

I raised my eyebrow at him. “I’m not going to fain—” I began before my body wobbled, losing all feeling as I fell forward.

“SHIT!” They all swore.

~MIDNIGHT~

I opened my eyes, noticed the floor a few inches away from me as an arm held me from my apparent fall.

I blinked before lifting my head.

“A pleasure to meet you Midnight.”

A red head greeted me.

My eyes went wide as I felt my mouth drop in awe.

“Orange hair...pretty,” I whispered, unable to tear my eyes away from such shiny strands.

“Makoto said something similar. You think you can stand?” he questioned.

I frowned, attempting to stand up straight but felt the world spin.

“Dizzy?” I questioned, my hands gripped his arm for dear life.

No falling to my demise like Mako.

I felt another pair of arms wrap around me before I was lifted into the air. I held the shriek that tried to escape my lips as my body floated to the lined-up row of stools, a foot tugged at the pink stool and placing me gently on it.

I turned my head to see Elias’ worried expression, the sight of his vibrant green eyes made me smile.

“Elias!” I greeted; my voice expressed the sudden joy in me.

“Hey, Midnight,” he replied, before leaning forward and kissing me.

I blinked as he pulled away just as quickly, a proud smirk on his face.

He leaned forward to whisper in my ear.

“That was from Eli this time,” he admitted before turning away towards the stove, grabbing an apron off the hook and placing it on his neck, before he tied the string behind his back.

I blushed, unable to hide my embarrassment.

I fidgeted in my seat.

Eli...I shouldn’t...

“Midnight. They aren’t like Samuel. Give them a chance.”

I felt goosebumps at the mention of the Archangel’s name.

Then I tilted my head.

Wait a minute…

“Mako?”

“What?”she questioned.
