Re: Attraction

(a/n): Yup…. Finally decided to go on with this one too… But I don't know where this story will head to. Just like a trip to nowhere :P

Chapter 2: Meeting

"So… Rem-san was it?" Subaru asked while he fumbled with his pork cutlet.

"Yes it is… But rem prefers the nickname 'Rem-rin."

"Umm… So Rem-rin? Did we met somewhere?"

"Yes we have! We met in Roswaal-sama's mansion and-"

"No, no… Not the made up story. I need real facts."

"But what Rem is saying is the actual facts."

Subaru rolled his eyes and bit through the cutlet.

"Don't you remember Subaru-kun?"

"Ugh… no I don't remember."

Subaru was honest. If he met this girl somewhere else before, he would definitely remember her overwhelming beauty. But unfortunately, he wasn't able to remember her at all. He didn't even know who Roswaal was.

"Let's say you are really a maid in that mansion and we met there. That will explain why you are wearing a maid uniform. But I don't remember we still have maids like you these days."

"That is why I told you we are from the other world-"

"Wait- wait! I can't follow any of your words! Another world? Is this some kind of an anime?"

Rem became silent and stared at her dish. Tears began to form in her eyes.

"It is because of Rem…." Rem whispered.

"If Rem was stronger, Rem could have prevented this…"

While Subaru was puzzled by her words, a waiter came to their table.

"Sir. Here is the dessert that you ordered."

The waiter then placed one dish of ice-cream on the table.

"Excuse me. But I remember I ordered two of them." Subaru said.

One for Rem was missing.

"I'm sorry but only one person can only order one dessert."

"Then where is a dessert for her?"

"Her? I don't understand…

Weren't you eating alone, sir…?"

The waiter gave Subaru a puzzled look and rushed back to the kitchen.

"What was that?" Subaru exclaimed.

"Why does he pretend like he didn't see you?"

"….."

"….."
"…..It seems that nobody can see me except Subaru-kun."

"….. What?"

To tell the truth, Subaru actually noticed an awkward atmosphere around him. Even when he was with Rem, the shop clients or waiters treated him as if he was by himself. But he didn't gave much attention to that.

But now, as he heard what Rem said, he tried to take a picture of her.

And in the picture, Rem was nowhere to be seen.

"What the heck?! You really are invisible! ….or could it be that you are just my imagination?"

"It isn't! Rem do exist. Look! She is right in front of her Subaru-kun talking like this!"

"This really is weird… All your stories, and this phenomenon... it is unrealistic."

"So I told you! We are from the other world!"

Subaru was getting convinced. As the possibility that this girl might have come from the other world struck him, he head began to hurt. Feeling dizzy, he finished his meal in haste and stumbled over to the waiter to pay.

"S-Subaru-kun!" Rem called out and ran after him.

Somhow they finished their meal and went out to the street. Subaru trudged along the sidewalk and Rem tagged behind him with a worried face.

"Subaru-kun. Are you alright? Your face is pale…"

"I'm fine Rem. I'm just feeling knocked out by this anime-like situation." Subaru said glancing back at Rem.

"Rem understands..."

For a few minutes they just walked along the street without saying a word. The evening breeze blew around them gently.

"Hey Rem… no Rem-rin."

"Yes! Subaru-kun! Anything to ask?"

"Yes. Let's say you are right. That means I have lost my memory, right? Then can you tell me what was our relationship?"

Rem started to blush at his question.

"W-well.. We were ummm…"

"I heard you saying something like Subaru-kun's Rem or something like that. Does that mean…."

"…."

"That I was your master?"

"H-hyaaa? A master?"

"I bet it isn't right? I don't deserve a beautiful and cute maid like you, Rem-rin." Subaru said. Embarrassed. He just scratched his head and continued walking.

However, Rem just stood still, with her cheeks getting redder and redder.

Then suddenly, as if she has decided something she looked up with determined eyes.

"S…s… S ubaru-kun was…"

"….?"

"… REM'S LOVER!"

(a/n) : Yup… that was chapter 2. This is getting fun for me too. Feels weird to be a writer and a reader in the same time…. I will make every chapter of this story a bit short to make it like a drama. But if you readers prefer longer ones, tell me! I'm ready...(I think).

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. See you soon!
