Vampire's Slice Of Life

Arya chuckled and said, "alright, I understand."

The two didn't have to wait too long as within the next minute, the management lady came back with a cart full of food. She placed the cutlery on the table and left after serving them food and beverages.

Lith took the mojito glass and raised it slightly towards Arya and said, "thankyou for bringing me out for dinner."

Arya raised her own glass and clinked it together with Lith and said, "you don't have to thank me. I am responsible for this. *Wink*"

Lith smiled at this and took a sip of his mojito. The sweetness from the sugar and the sourness from the lime were blended in pretty well and he was starting to like this taste. He wondered how it would taste with alcohol in it but it was just a passing thought.

He then took a bite of the Renzig rabbit roast and frowned. Taking a napkin present on the table, he spit the food out. Arya noticed this and asked, "is the food not good?"

Lith shrugged and said, "I have no idea. The garlic in it ruins the whole flavour for me. I can't eat it. It tastes bad. I should've mentioned substituting it with allium, sigh."

The taste of garlic was horrible for all vampires. They wouldn't want to eat it, even in their dreams. It was just that bad. Some vampires even said that it tasted like shit and every other vampire agreed with it even though they did or did not know what it actually tasted like.

Lith too assumed the same. He read on forums about it and thus just assumed the taste to be shit. However, he couldn't just say that out in front of his teacher. Not today at least as he was out on a date with her.

Arya shook her head with a smile. She clapped her hands and the management lady came back into the room. Arya said to her with a neutral face, "take it all away and make another batch of the same order. This time, make it fit for a vampire's palate."

"Understood, madam." The management lady bowed and said respectfully.

She cleared the table, except for the mojitos, placed them in the cart, took the cart and rushed back to the kitchen. Within a minute, she came back again and quickly placed the food back on the table.

Lith saw two plates of lamb chops and two pots full of Renzig rabbit roast. This time, he saw bits of something dark in it and smiled knowing the food now had allium instead of garlic.

Allium had the same taste as garlic but was dark in colour. Lith could testify it as being true since he knew how garlic tasted back on earth. Here in this world, people who could eat garlic have testified as allium having the same taste as garlic and the vampire people took their word for it.

Lith took a sip of his mojito and cleansed his palate. He then took a bite of lamb chop and had a satisfied smile on his face.

"Mhmm, this tastes so good." Lith said to Arya with his eyes closed and chewing onto the lamb chop.

Arya chuckled and said, "I am glad you like it."

The two ate their food together and talked for an hour and a half. They cracked jokes together, about their lives a bit and about how life was at the academy for them. They had a good time together and Lith didn't flirt with Arya this time.

Flirting is good but one shouldn't over do it. It loses its essence and the other person would soon get bored of it. Lith knew about it and thus stopped. Arya was amused at how good Lith was at understanding the atmosphere and changing pace.

Though she wouldn't have minded had he been his same shameless self even during dinner, a change of pace brightened the atmosphere even for her own self.

Finishing their dinner, the two got up from their chairs and Lith walked closer to Arya. She held Lith by his waist and the two vanished from their spots.

...

Lith's dorm, Abalax sky island.

Lith and Arya arrived at Lith's floor, in the living room. Lith sat on the sofa and patted beside him and said to Arya, "come teacher, let's watch some anime together. You were supposed to ensure that I am not confused about my sexuality right? Hehe, come, fulfill your responsibilities."

Arya looked at Lith in amusement. This guy was back to his shameless self now. She wondered if he had a switch or something to change his mood so suddenly. Nevertheless, she sat beside him and waited for him to put some anime on.

Lith smiled and was very happy when he saw this. His teacher didn't dislike him and it was showing. She didn't even put up any resistance against him and he knew that if he played his cards well now, he had a sure shot chance of dating her.

Though he knew taking things so fast wouldn't result well but judging by how his teacher was the same as him, he understood that being slow wouldn't be fruitful either. He had to up his game and take things a little faster and be more proactive if he wanted to date Arya, these were his thoughts.

Lith put on an anime, it was a romantic one and five minutes into it, he said to Arya, "teacher, this isn't comfortable like this. Let's change into something comfy and watch the anime together."

"Let's change? Do you want me to change together with you?" Arya turned to Lith and asked with a smile.

"Of course. Didn't you say that I've seen everything there is? Why would it bother you to change with me then?" Lith replied back with a smirk.

Arya giggled hearing his reply. She said to him after a second with a smile, "aren't you too perverted? Do you want to see me naked that badly?"

"Who wouldn't want to if they had a chance? My teacher is a beauty for whom people would kill each other just to see the face once. And I am the luckiest person in the world to have seen you up so close and naked ahem I mean in so detail." Lith praised Arya with a smile and said.

Arya chuckled and asked, "what if I deny changing clothes with you and always ensure that you don't see me in such a state again?"

Lith put on a pondering expression and said with a smile, "hmm, well that would be bad news but it doesn't matter. As long as you're with me, I am fine with everything."

"So cheesy." Arya chuckled and said.

"Alright, alright, I am gonna go change. It's totally up to you if you want to change with me or not but yeah, please do change. Oh right, I actually forgot to say this but I'll say it now, teacher, you look very stunning and beautiful in that outfit." Lith turned to Arya and said.

He had forgotten to actually tell her this and only now did he realise.

Arya was wearing a beautiful blue knee length one piece dress. Her arms and collar were exposed. The dress had a cut at the bottom from the side and one of her leg was exposed a few inches from above her knee.

She was wearing black heels and silver earrings. She looked absolutely stunning as Lith had stated and her hair tied in a bun, making her nape visible increased her charms to another level.

"I thought I was never gonna get a compliment today even after I dressed up so much for you." Arya said with a smile.

Indeed, she didn't really dress up like this much. It's been years since she had done so and today, only for Lith did she dress like this. She knew it was a date no matter how much Lith denied it and so, she dressed up well for him.

Was Lith someone very important to her because of which she dressed up like this? The answer was uncertain as she herself didn't know. She had no idea why she was following along with Lith's plans and why she was even bothering to take part in his jokes.

She knew the taking responsibility thing was just a joke and she could've stopped herself from getting into all of this but she didn't. What was the reason for it? She didn't know.

Arya wasn't someone experienced in the matters related to love. She was just as inexperienced as Lith. Lith matching her own vibe and energy made Arya feel comfortable around him. She found it fun too when she was around him. Add onto that, that small gesture from Lith created a very good impression of him in front of her.

Thus, unknowingly, she was playing along with him because she was starting to like him. She liked Lith just as much as he did her. Their like for each other was at an early stage and there weren't any signs of love yet.

Things would take a bit more time but judging from how fast the pace was at which Lith was taking things, it won't be long before their feelings for each other would grow and their like for each other would turn to love.
