"How could you see this spot was available from the entrance?" I questioned, turning to gaze at Pixie boy who was leaning in his chair, spinning the provided pencil between his fingers.
"Magic, Cutie Pie. Pixies don't like sharing what we've claimed. All I need to do is focus on something and it's mine. No one will touch it," he replied.
I blinked, nodding in approval when a thought came into my mind.
"Wait. Does that mean you claimed me back there? When I crashed into you?" I asked, confused.
He shrugged, a playful smirk on his lips as his eyes glittered with delight.
"Well, Cutie Pie. It's hard to resist your charm. Don't worry, I'm totally down for sharing you, but not with this many people." He winked. His confidence only made me blush as I glanced away.
"It's Celestia," I mumbled.
"Hmm?"
"My name is Celestia Rainbow," I introduced.
"Pretty name, Cutie Pie, and Rainbow? Like legit the rainbow that leads to the pot of gold for leprechaun shifters?" he inquired.
I rolled my eyes. "Yes, Rainbow and is Cutie Pie my nickname now? If so, I'm calling you Pixie Boy," I pointed out.
"PixieMan," he argued.
"Boy."
"Man."
“Boy.”
"Ah, you're hard to please. Fine, fine. And my name is Finn Charm," he introduced.
"Charm? Like that cereal from that dimension...Lucky Charms? Hmm, Magnor brought me some of those. They taste really good," I admitted more to myself than to Finn.
He didn't look offended by my question. "Yes, like those boxes of rainbow cereal. I think it's a sign that we're meant to be." He winked, making me groan.
"Smooth talker be gone," I joked, brushing him away.
He laughed. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Celestia. Let's hope this won't be the last we see each other." He smiled, the tenderness in his expression made me blink in confusion.
He must have noticed my change in mood, tilting his head to match my confusion.
"What's up, Cutie Pie? Something on my face?" he asked.
"Ah...no. Just...where I lived I wasn't welcomed as easily," I admitted nervously.
He eyed me carefully, nodding as if he understood me. "I get it. Well, if we make it through this entrance examination, feel free to talk to me whenever. Nice to be around a female who isn't annoyed by my jokes," he replied.
I giggled. "They're not bad. Though, you should work on your smooth-talking skills if you want to try and pick up a girl," I advised.
His grin widened. "I already have my eyes set on one and she's right in front of me," he whispered.
My face grew red at his confession, unable to look away from his intense gaze.
"We should focus," I mumbled, glancing away to stare at my paper, grabbing the pencil. My heart was beating quickly from all this attention he was giving me, something I'd never experienced from anyone who wasn't considered family.
Finn chuckled. "Alright, Cutie Pie. Do your best and I'll find you when the exam is over," he reassured me.
I took a peek to my right to see him staring aimlessly at the front of the room, still twirling his pencil.
