The Only Fuel Is Using The D.

Lucky 26

They were happily eating, giggling, and staring at each other from time to time. Surprisingly the pizza tasted good despite being four days in the fridge. Was it because of Luck again? Perhaps. 

Anyway, our love birds were giggling as they looked at each other biting pizza, they couldn't help but smile. They looked like a newlyweds couple who just finished their honeymoon.

"So you're saying that Athena brought you back to your mansion and you didn't have time to say goodbye to me?"

Calix asked as he realized that he made a huge misunderstanding. He thought that Scarlett left him with no hesitation, it seemed like he was wrong. His cheeks reddened and he coughed embarrassedly at his action yesterday. He looked apathetic and heartless, he even left Scarlett brokenhearted. 

"You're blushing looks cute."

Scarlett giggled as she found the reason why Calix thought that she hated him. Now, she decided to clarify everything. 

"I even kissed you while you were sleeping. You look cute."

Calix blushed and Scarlett laughed. She loved to make fun of him. Earlier, she was bullied so much that she wanted revenge. Even now, her hips were aching and her cave was tingling, yet she loved this sensation.

Overall, Scarlett's recent days were the best. She and her father started to open up again and her time in the mansion was satisfactory. No one tried to disturb her. Usually, whenever she was in the mansion, her cousins and uncles would greet her. Although their intentions were obvious. They were jealous but they were trying to suck up with her. Especially now that her name started to get famous, a promising Vindicator who killed a third-class aberrant.

'As if I care about them.'

Scarlett stuffed the pizza in her mouth, this is how she normally eats pizza. But she would only do this when she was alone. And now, she didn't hesitate to eat like this since Calix already knew her table manners. They were childhood friends and it seemed like their relationship went above that. Just like how Scarlett went above heaven after Calix made her cum.

Still, there's one problem that has not been solved and Calix was anxious about it. 

As a man, he must not keep a secret especially if his partner would going to be affected. Calix Term Attribute, he wanted to talk about it. 

If he kept this secret to himself, this may become a big problem for their relationship. 

'I don't want her to think that I'm using her body to gain fuel. So before she leaves, I have to tell her.'

Calix had his reasons, and the main one was- he didn't want to hurt Scarlett. His fuel was sexual practices with the opposite gender. Scarlett may think negatively about it. 

'I want to tell her that she is not a fuel or an object. For me, she's more important than any of that.'

He braved himself and swallowed hard. He was looking at the pizza on his plate. He was thinking deeply and didn't care about the pizza.

"Hm? What's the matter?"

Scarlett sensed that something was amiss about Calix. 

"Ah? I- It's..."

Calix sighed and decided to speak about it. It's now or never. It's better to be hated than to keep this a secret. The last thing he wanted was to hurt her, and right now, he was trying to be a man worthy of her love. 

"S- Scarlett I……"

………
……
…

"… So you're saying that you deciphered your Term Attribute?"

Calix nodded.

"And your fuel is sex, is that it?"

Scarlett asked while her forehead furrowing, she was a bit surprised to learn that his fuel was so sexual. 

"Yes…"

Again, Calix nodded biting his lower lip.

"And you only realized it after having sex with me?"

"... Yeah."

Calix closed his eyes afraid of her reaction. He clenched his fists under the table, he would accept her answer even if it was bad.

"Then, isn't it good? Now you don't have to suffer."

"Huh?"

Scarlett answered nonchalantly which caused Calix to open his eyes in surprise. He realized that Scarlett was eating Hawaiian Pizza with a normal expression. 

She licked the cheese on her thumb and looked at him.

"I experienced backlash so I understand you."

She said.

"I'm not sure about you but I think your backlash is related to luck."

"Yeah, I have to experience misfortunes… A lot of them."

Calix grimly smiled, he experienced the opposite of Luck. 

Scarlett stared at him and realized that Calix was trembling, he was afraid that she would be angry. Scarlett sighed, to be honest, she was surprised to learn that Calix could now use his power. However, she was more surprised that she was the reason for it to happen. She was happy for being a special part of his life. 

'Still… If this is his fuel, then there's a chance that he may have to do it with others…'

She couldn't continue, the idea itself was hurting her. 

'But I know that he suffers so much.'

She smiled a depreciating one. 

Should she stop him? But she knew that Calix would only suffer if she did that. She sighed and decided to gobble another slice of pizza. For now, she wanted to ease her heart.

"Scarlett… Are you not angry?"

Calix looked at her with trembling eyes. He told her a big secret and he didn't regret it but he couldn't help being afraid. 

Scarlett swallowed her food and drank a glass of water. She exhaled a long one after. 

"You see… Whenever I don't use my power, my skin will be burned by a brutal fire. That's my backlash, I experienced it thrice and it's agonizing, it's good that it didn't leave a mark on my skin." She said recalling the memories. "After that, I promised that I will use my Term Attribute at least once a week. My fuel is hatred so it's not hard for me but yours are different."

Calix bowed his head. 

Scarlett was encouraging him but he felt hurt. Especially when he looked into her eyes, Scarlett may hide her emotions but it was obvious.

Calix decided to nod. Still, as a man, there's something that he had to say. He would be an idiot if he doesn't make it obvious. So right now that Scarlett was here with him, he braved his heart and made it clear. He stared at Scarlett with sincerity, he grabbed her hand, their fingers intertwined.

"I love you."

He said, he fucking said it. 

Scarlett smiled as she felt her heart jumping against her chest. She felt like all her problems disappeared. She hoped that this moment, these feelings, and this happiness would remain forever.
