Chapter 12 - love

When everything is done Ayan came back to the cave and see the peter is alright so he doesn't ask anything . Aryan came to the side of eren ask if she is ok or not . They start chatting .

Quin was feeling heart broken.

The battlefield was quiet now, except for the occasional groan and cough from the survivors. Aryan was kneeling next to Eren, brushing dust off her shoulder like she'd just dropped her ice cream, not gone toe-to-toe with a Dalki.

Quinn limped over, blood on his shirt, a not-so-small gash on his side, and a whole lot of attitude.

"Wow," he said loudly, arms raised, "good to know you check on your girl first. You know, just your brother over here, leaking like a broken juice box."

Aryan didn't even glance back.

"You're still standing. You're fine."

Quinn scoffed.

"Yeah? And what if I wasn't? What if I was over there, bleeding out, whispering your name like some tragic hero in a drama?"

Aryan finally turned, deadpan.

"You'd make a terrible tragic hero. No one would cry."

Eren tried not to laugh but failed. "He's not wrong."

Quinn clutched his chest dramatically.

"Betrayed. Twice in one day. First by blood, then by... whatever you are to me now, Eren. I hope you both step on a LEGO."

Aryan smirked slightly, the closest thing he had to affection.

"Stop whining. I'll heal you after I finish pretending I care."

Then the leo comes and when he saw this seen he was in a daze .

He was staring on aryan because no one can do this it is only him who can do this thing .

So one others come he said that he killed and give a wink to Aryan .

Aryan expression has a smirk on his face 😏.

He started walking walking towards the shelter supporting Eren and laila .

[ Healing power can heal injuries but not the exhaustion. ]

In another palce,

Some time ago .

the second military base inside one of the schools, another meeting was taking place. Once again, the Head General wasn't present, leaving Nathan and Duke to deal with things.

"There has been a report of a Dalki ship crash landing on the planet Caladi," Nathan reported. At that moment, the first-year sergeants had expressions of shock on their faces. "Don't worry. It seems to be a stray ship from somewhere. The tower made communications with the Dalki, and of course, they said it was a member who had gone rogue."

"Damn those Dalki!" Duke yelled, slamming the table." Every year, they keep pushing and pushing into our territory."

"Luckily, it only seems to be a single ship, so at most, there will be two there. Of course, the tower has asked us to send..."

Before Nathan could even finish his sentence, Leo stood up from his seat and bowed down in front of Nathan. "Please allow me to go. Those students are too young to experience something like this, especially on their first outing. They must be protected."

Nathan was quite shocked to see Leo suddenly volunteering. Usually, when something like this occurred, no one would willingly go and risk their lives against the Dalki. Hearing this made Nathan wonder if the rumors were actually true.

That for some reason, Leo had a stronger grudge against the Dalki than most people. Or perhaps, he just really cared about the students. One thing was for sure though. He was sure that if they were to send Leo out, then there would be no need to send out any of the other teachers or sergeants.

As long as the Dalki had no more than three spikes, then Nathan was confident in him. "Well, I guess the matter is settled. Fay, Hayley, I want to two of you on standby just outside the portal for their return. If any back-up is needed, then you go straight through. Hayley, heal anyone who needs immediate medical attention.

Aryan is just submitting a high level which ke killed and they are now in top so Eren does noy angry .And the portal is also came to the end .And they are now in there base.

Midnight ,

Aryan was sitting in the jungle and thunking about the future now fex aRc is also comming

and Aryan thinks he is just like a curious and innocent boy .

I also want to start my Qi training he has watched several donghuas and they use it for wings and many more things so he is also trying to do it .But he can't get that point .

Many things are waiting to do .

In morning ,

Eren ,laila , Aryan was sitting on a bench in the class listening the lecturer.

Quinn and the other is not in the class ,Aryan is practicing Qi sitting there.

The classroom buzzed softly with the teacher's monotonous voice as chalk tapped against the board. Most students hunched over their notebooks, scribbling equations, pretending to care.

Aryan didn't. He sat near the window, where the sunlight painted soft gold across his desk. His eyes were closed, breath steady. Faint ripples in the air danced around his fingers as he traced invisible sigils—Qi flowing in precise rhythm through his body. He wasn't just sitting. He was practicing.

Eren sat next to him, her elbow on the desk, her head tilted as she watched him out of the corner of her eye. The way he sat—so calm, so untouchable—made her chest feel strange, like she was holding her breath even when she wasn't.

She looked at the board. Then back at him.

She gave up.

Quietly, she leaned over and rested her head on his shoulder.

Aryan's fingers paused, just for a second. He didn't open his eyes. Didn't speak. But his Qi shifted—warmer, gentler—like it had noticed her presence.

Eren whispered, "You're doing it again."

A faint smile tugged at Aryan's lips. "Doing what?"

"Shutting everyone out like they don't exist," she murmured. "Like you're not even here."

He opened one eye, turning slightly to glance at her. "Maybe I'm not."

She stared at him, quiet for a moment. "...Well, I'm here. And you're not allowed to ignore me."

Aryan looked away, back to the sunlight. "You never let me."

A soft silence settled between them. Eren's head stayed on his shoulder, her hand resting close to his on the desk. The teacher kept talking. The clock kept ticking. But in that small space between them, time slowed.

"I like it when you're like this," she said suddenly, voice low. "Calm. Focused. But... still here."

Aryan didn't respond right away. Then he whispered, barely audible, "I like it when you stay close."

Her eyes softened.

The Qi shimmered quietly between their hands, and neither of them moved.

Scene: After class — Aryan walks alone on the rooftop, distant, and Eren follows.

The sky had turned a smoky orange, clouds drifting like forgotten thoughts. Aryan stood by the rooftop fence, wind brushing through his hair, his back to the door.

Eren stepped out quietly, closing it behind her. He didn't turn.

"You're doing it again," she said softly, stepping closer.

He didn't answer. Just kept staring at the horizon like he wished he could fall into it.

Eren walked to his side, searching his face. "Aryan
 talk to me. Please."

His voice was low. "Why? So you can tell me it's all okay? That everything I carry doesn't matter? I've already made peace with being alone."

She clenched her jaw. "You're not alone."

He looked at her now, eyes sharp with coldness and something else—pain.

"I've lost too many people, Eren. Everyone who got close ended up either hurt
 or gone."

She stepped in front of him, placing both hands on his chest. "Then hurt me. Break me. Kill me if that's what it takes—but stop pushing me away."

His eyes widened slightly. "What are you saying?"

Tears welled in her eyes, but her voice didn't shake. "You are the last person I care about, Aryan. The only one. If something happened to you, there wouldn't be anything left of me. I'd burn the whole world down just to get you back."

He stared at her, silence thick between them.

"I'm not scared of your demons," she whispered. "Because they're mine too, now."

Aryan's mask cracked—just slightly. He looked away for a second, then back at her. "Eren
"

"I love you," she said, finally. "Not like some fragile thing. I love you like I'd die for you. Like I already have, over and over again, just waiting for you to see it."

For the first time in hours, Aryan's hand lifted—slow, hesitant—and he touched her cheek.

The wind stilled.

And in that moment, he wasn't the cold warrior, or the silent protector.

He was just Aryan.

And he was hers.

[Sorry guys iam not that good on making feelings because i only feel love feeling once and now she 1000 of kilometers away from me and i didn't tell her about my love and now my heart is just like a ice stone doesn't seeing any other girl]
