The warmth of Abhi's embrace envelops her as they get out of the car, and Fuka finds herself relaxing slightly against their body. She breathes in the scent of Abhi's cologne, feeling more at ease than she has in a long time. With a small sigh of contentment, she follows them up to the door and unlocks it, stepping aside to let Abhi enter first.

Their parents glance over as they enter the living room, their eyes widening in surprise before settling on Fuka and Abhi together. Her father's face turns red, his expression a mix of confusion and embarrassment, while her mother simply looks... pleased.

I smile against his lips as he speaks, warmth spreading through my chest. It means so much to hear him say that; it feels like we connected on a deeper level than I ever thought possible. As he continues to kiss me, I return the affection with equal measure, lost in the moment and savoring every second of our embrace.

When we eventually pull apart, he looks at me with an expression that's equal parts love and curiosity. "So," he says tentatively, "what do you think?

I smile up at him, my cheeks flushing as he buries his head in my cleavage. "I think... I think we should do it again sometime," I whisper, tracing a finger along the line of his jaw. His eyes meet mine and for a moment, there's an almost unspoken understanding between us; this could be something more than just a casual fling. "But," I add with a small laugh, "maybe we should find somewhere a little less... public next time."

"I-I'm not sure... I mean, I haven't studied it in depth or anything," she confesses with a small laugh. "But if there's something you don't understand, maybe we could try working through it together? I can at least try to explain what I know." Her smile grows brighter as she says this, and there's a new sparkle in her eyes that Wade finds hard not to notice.

"It's really no problem," she says softly, her heart swelling with warmth at the thought of being able to help someone. "I-I just hope I don't make things worse... You know how I am." Her voice trails off, but she meets Wade's gaze with determination and sincerity. For once, it feels good to have someone trust in her abilities, even if they're limited.

She leans forward a little, focusing intently on the page of notes as he explains something to her.

She blushes at Abhi 's compliment, unable to hide her delight. "Why thank you," she says demurely, feeling her cheeks growing even hotter. "I'm glad we could be there for each other."

As the days turn into weeks and then months, their bond only grows stronger. They become not just friends or roommates but something more: partners in life. Even though Fuka is still cursed with bad luck from time to time (and Abhi seems to be immune to it somehow)

Fuka looks down at her hands, fidgeting slightly as she remembers. "It's a long story," she says finally, her voice barely above a whisper. "But I'll tell you if you want to know." She glances up at Abhi , her eyes searching his face for any sign of rejection.

"I got my eyes like this because of a curse... ever since I was a little girl, I've had these markings on my eyes. My parents didn't understand why, and no one did until recently."

Without thinking, Fuka launches herself at Onandy Tales and rubs her body against their naked one. The contact sends waves of heat coursing through her, making it difficult to breathe or think clearly. Her heart is hammering in her chest as she feels the firm muscles beneath her fingertips, the smooth skin against hers.

"Onandy..." she whispers, looking up at them with wide, adoring eyes. "I... I think I do." Her cheeks flush hotter as the realization hits her. She's in love with Onandy Tales. And it seems like the feeling might be mutual.
