Transmigrated With A Resolution System

~Outside the city, the vast part of the unknown, it was discovered there was a sighting of what could only be known as the burnt remains of a building said to have been home to fugitives of the law.~

'Fugitives of the law? How the heck did this get on the news?!' Nix gaped in disbelief at what he thought was the beginning of his identity being discovered.

He looked around, in search of a security camera, this would be detrimental to his views on how things work in the organization.

'They wouldn't spy on us, would they?' He searched around for any form of ruse item, yet nothing seemed out of place.

'I'd trust my guts this time.' He narrowed his eyes in thought.

Walking over to the window, he placed his arm on the pane, putting his head on his arm. He would need to get more information on the headlines he had seen.

'Fugitive of the law! What sort of law was mother trying to run away from?'

"Nix?" Lumina called, a groan following right after.

Turning around, he tilted his head in confusion at her adjusting the pillow behind her back.

"You should be resting." He replied, shaking his head while moving to the bedside.

Lumina let out a chuckle at his words, "do you think I would be easily knocked out?"

Nodding his head to her question, it earned him a pout, and her eyes showed a glint of electricity.

'Heck no! I have no gift to deflect it. I'm a freaking normal human!' Nix panicked, taking a step back and covering his nervousness with a low chuckle.

"Shouldn't you get enough rest?" He narrowed his eyes at her, internally screaming that she doesn't let out her gift.

Inhaling and exhaling, her gift subsided, raising her head she was met with Nix staring at her at such a close range that she could feel his breath.

Pushing back, she panicked by how he had caught her unawares. "Nix..."

"Hmmm..." He hummed to her call, the more he watched her fidget and try to avoid eye contact.

"Did I scare you?" He began, inching closer to her again.

With nowhere else to go once she had her back against the headboard. Her heart pounded at what she could only see as going to progress into something more.

"We just got here..." She began, exhaling and trying to calm herself. "Besides I'm still trying to recover from what had happened back then."

Nix paused, tilting his head in response to her answer, a broad smile spread across his lips.

He understood what she had meant, but it was more fun to spur her to think in that direction, even though that wasn't his original plan.

'A hug would be nice.' Nix thought in his heart and smiled, he wanted to convey his feelings through that simple gesture.

Ignoring her words, he proceeded to approach her again. The cotton bedspread formed creases under the pressure from his knees and hands.

"I just want to assist you to undress, I swear it's nothing lewd. You'd need help to–"

"Nix? Don't come closer, I would zap you. I will do it, I say!" Lumina said a little out of breath.

Nix simply shook his head, "you sound like I plan on raping you."

Lumina's breath hitched at the thought of what her words meant. "Nix... I..."

Retracing his steps, he made sure to give enough distance between them before he spoke, "do you think I'm of that sort?"

Turning his back towards her, he couldn't see her expression. He looked out the window while he waited for her response.

Lumina's heart thumped loudly, she knew her words weren't the best approach one could think of and the thought of apologizing was the only thing that crossed her mind.

"Sometimes I wonder what we are," Nix said with a sigh when he couldn't get a response from her after waiting longer than a minute.

He had tried too hard to be understandable, to come out of his shell and socialize, get into a real friendship like he was trying to do with Lank, gain allies, and most importantly get the trust and care of the one person he had begun to care about.

'You're so stupid, all of this is stupid.' He thought with clenched hands, gritting his teeth.

Considering all that had happened was a total waste of time. He simply shook his head and turned towards Lumina.

"What we've done together meant nothing to you?" He said with a bitter laugh, getting up.

This was far from what he had considered being right. The fact that he couldn't leave the room to clear his thoughts angered him.

Lumina looked at Nix, guilt-stricken by what she had said. What she had done was merely out of impulse and had not taken into account what it meant to the both of them.

"You just woke up from..." He choked on his words as he recalled what had almost happened.

He hated himself for being weak and not being able to help them out of their situation then.

When he carried her in his arms, it brought back the memory of Aimi. He couldn't lose another person close to his heart because he was weak and they were involved with him.

His heart had skipped a beat when he stared at her after hearing her words the moment she woke. A strange calm washed over him at that exact moment.

Turning around as his eyes brimmed with tears. He exhaled, placing his hand on his chest so he could calm his heart.

'Don't get attached you said. Why then, do you feel this way?' He spoke to himself, confused about the way he felt.

His body stiffened the moment he felt Lumina's hand snake under his. She reached out and held him tight.

Her bust pressed behind him as her grip on him tightened.

"What are you–"

"Shh..." She said in a low voice, "let's stay this way for a while."
