The Bored Immortal

Sayana momentarily frowned when Tiana's shout interrupted her conversation with Dorian. But her expression relaxed and returned to normal the next moment as she said, "Dorian, you should go before she gets mad. She has been waiting for you, I guess."

"I will see you later then," Viktor said with a smile before walking towards a pouting Tiana.

The moment Dorian sat down beside her, Tiana asked skeptically, "Do you like Saya or something?"

Viktor blinked his eyes as he candidly said, "I do. Why do you ask?"

Seeing how he quickly answered without any signs of embarrassment, Tiana tried to make things more clear, "I meant if you like her ro-. No, forget that and tell me if you like me or her more," Tiana asked with crossed arms.

Viktor realized that he was being asked a trap question yet again, though he had been asked the same thing many times in the past.

So he scratched his cheek and said, "Hmm...It actually keeps on changing. The more I spend time with two, the more I like you both."

'Does he mean to say that he would like me more if I spent more time with him than Saya? What the…' Tiana felt a bit speechless hearing his answer and had no idea how to react to it.

She also had no idea why she asked such a question. But these days, she had noticed Sayana and Dorian getting very close and how Sayana seemed to change a bit, though she couldn't put her finger on how exactly she changed.

"Whatever. Forget about it, and let's focus on today's assessment, where we have to draw one of her portraits. This time I want you to draw mine. I have never seen you in action for things like this," Tiana adamantly said, feeling curious about his art skills.

Viktor looked at the empty canvas and said with an awkward smile, "I can try, but it's been a while since I painted. It may not come out perfect as you expect."

"I don't really care even if you paint a stick woman version of mine. I just wanna see it. Come on!" Tiana immediately jumped onto the seat opposite the canvas so that Dorian could look at her and paint.

Viktor picked up his brush and pencils as he began to sketch the outline.

After a minute, Viktor began to stare at Tiana's face with a focused look, making her feel a bit self-conscious for some reason.

And the way his light brown eyes were focusing on her made her suddenly remember Lucien.

'Why the hell am I suddenly thinking about that pervert? Goodboi is nothing like him…' Tiana shook off these thoughts about Lucien lest she gets distracted and makes some weird expressions.

Viktor focused on her seductive yet glimmering blue eyes as he painted them. And just like that, he stared at her lovely nose and her velvety cherry lips as he painted them.

Tiana had no idea why her face was getting a bit hot just because Dorian was staring at her face like this. 

Not long after, Viktor began to paint her chest region, especially the way half of her soft white firm breasts were exposed, including her entire cleavage because of the neckline being seductively low.

And, of course, he made sure to beautifully paint the red ribbon below her cleavage.

Tiana felt even more flustered the moment Dorian began to stare at her chest with his expression still focused.

She felt as if she was being undressed with just his eyes, though she told herself to not have any dirty thoughts, especially when Dorian wasn't like those perverted boys.

She could see how his pure, innocent eyes didn't even have a hint of lust. But for some reason, she felt disappointed.

'Does he not see me as a woman? Ha, why do I care??' 

Viktor's eyes gazed downwards as he painted her pretty navel, her pink mini skirt, her succulent fair thighs, and her long slender legs.

Tiana wasn't expecting Dorian to complete her portrait within this class itself due to how short the time was. After all, painting a full portrait could take up a few classes of time, even for talented artists.

However, she noticed her classmates looking over in her direction or, more precisely, looking at what Dorian was painting with expressions of awe and shock, making her feel very curious about what Dorian had painted till now.

She first wondered if he painted her in an embarrassing way, but she didn't notice any signs of ridicule on their faces. So she couldn't help but think if Dorian was really talented or something.

And just five minutes before the class was about to get over, Viktor said, "I am done!"

"Eh?" Tiana had a blinking expression, and by this time, there were also many students standing behind Viktor in a circle, staring at his canvas with looks of disbelief and admiration.

Tiana pushed away some of them to make her way to Dorian, and the moment she laid her eyes on his canvas, her lips parted while her expression froze.

It was as if her breath got stolen away by just looking at Dorian's painting.

Sayana was busy putting back her things when she came back to notice a large number of students standing around Dorian.

She still had a brush in her hands as she made her way towards Dorian to see why these students seemed to be mumbling with awe and discussing his painting.

"Oh my god. Is this a painting or a fucking real photo?"

"I know, right! It just looks too real as if taken from a camera but looks even more artistic and beautiful."

"Is this dude a machine or what to paint this in 2 hours? Not even my dad can paint something like this within a week. There are just too many subtle details, and the way these colors are mixed blows my mind."

"This guy must be a god of art. I haven't seen a pro like this before. Shit, now I feel very tempted to ask him to paint my portrait. I am even ready to pay him as much as he likes."

"I don't think I have ever seen such a divine piece of art. Not even those so-called godly pieces of art from the past and present can compare to this," The art teacher couldn't also help but join the students and appreciate Dorian's painting with an astonished expression.

Sayana also had a blinking expression upon looking at Tiana's portrait that Dorian painted. It seemed so real yet artistic, she felt as if she could keep admiring it all day long without getting tired or bored.

She never knew Dorian was this talented in art.

Tiana was the one who felt most overwhelmed, especially since she was looking at her own portrait.

She couldn't help but even feel a bit emotional, as if this painting of hers was telling more about herself, things she didn't know before.

Certain emotions that were supposed to be hidden deep within her seemed to be quite apparent in the painting.

But most of all, the way the Tiana in the painting was staring at her with a subtle, beautiful smile made her feel as if her own soul was staring at her. 

'Is this really me…' However, her expression became startled when those blue eyes in the painting that was staring at her suddenly turned a ruby red for a split second.

"Did you like it, Tia?" 

Hearing Dorian's words brought her back from her daze while feeling a strange sense of Deja Vu. And seeing him looking at her with a pure smile, something came over her as she suddenly cupped his face and kissed one of his cheeks.

*Crak*

The moment Tiana kissed Dorian right before everyone, Sayana stared at the two with quivering eyes as she unconsciously broke the brush in her hand into two.
