In the Moment... : Keep Calm & Don't Go Mad
"...B-Bumblebee?" That was the sole word that came out of his mouth. It was difficult to describe what Noel's expression wished to transmit. To put it lightly, its mix of emotions all came down to one that not even he could assimilate in his face. Confusion, embarrassment, shock...? Questions would only consume him more and more, each one leaving him in an even bigger mumbling mess. Surely a feast for the eyes of a sadist to see him in such a fluster. But what could he do? He was not expecting such a casual approach, not to mention with a grin such as the one the girl had graced him with. He was now but a child trying to explain a bad deed. Adorable or pathetic?
But the name Bumblebee...why Bumblebee of all things? Silly as it sounded, it was the question that prevailed out of all that flooded his mind. Why not compare him to a frog? Or a dog? Familiar as he was with such terms being addressed to him, the Meister could only accept the card rather absent-mindlessly, all the while coping with the whole scenario with a distressed look on his face. But the two of hearts would go unnoticed, such as the chance to further interact with the [perhaps] magician, as Noel was once again pulled back to his Weapons' reach. The reason was Tora's voice once again reaching his ears, proving how magnetic this course of action was to him. But the words that came out of her mouth only seem to throw him off even deeper into the abyss of despair. Or at least that was where he wished to be if he were given the choice.
Great, just great. Everytime he tried to be helpful, he had to bring more casualties to the mix. Well, not helpful, perhaps the best word to describe it would be...a good Meister? Ugh, things were just keeping getting worse and worse! "Tora, it's all my fault...P-Please, calm down, okay? Tao, you too...stop fighting..." No good, his embarrassment at the scenarios he had been thrown had left him at loss of how to handle this. He couldn't just headbutt the two girls like usual, that would be uncalled for, not to mention hypocritical of his part. Thankfully Tao had the attention spam of a goldfish and was soon taken over by her undying curiosity. Noel sighed in relief, pulling his hood over his eyes in silence while listening to Tora. "No...I...I should have asked first, I'm really sorry for all this." What a sad excuse of a Meister he was...
Sooner or later, it would come to bit him, he knew that. It stung, nonetheless, sure. But it was a...eye-opener of sorts. To remind him that he still had a long way to go and not to grow cocky. Once again, he was assaulted by a sensation of deja-vu, only to be brought back to reality by the teacher's voice reaching his ears. Listening attentively to Professor Hiro, Noel gently pulled Tao down to her seat while are it. His eyes grew wider at the transformation, his face twisting in an expression of pure awe, with an awkward yet genuine smile. He couldn't help it.
But soon everything would be put to an end, whether he expected it or not. He now faced madness at its core, crawling through Death City mercilessly. As Meister and Weapon soon joined the chant that Noel could only describe as "unexpectedly clever", he swiftly moved his body forward, shielding Tao and Tora. It was out of impulse, a reflex. But it was genuine. No madness shall taint them. Such words were carved within the depths of his mind. That's why...
Slowly, he tilted his heads towards them. "...Girls?" That was the only word that came to him. But it was the only one he needed. And always, always with a smile.
I can't loose it.
