            ❝ I said that ducks mate for life once they find a partner… ❞ Even though Seiya normally did not mind demonstrating his affection towards his lover be it through  actions or words, he did feel a little intimidated to approach Shiryu whenever the other was surrounded by his books. Make no mistake! The smaller saint was aware of how much education meant to the Dragon. He’d always support anything Shiryu wanted to do. I mean, that’s what a best friends and boyfriends are for! 

             But he honestly did not like it much when Shiryu got too carried away with studying and stopped giving him attention for five hours straight. Desperate measures require desperate remedies, right? He’d try to catch his eyes by saying something stupid and cute. 

                                                            ❝ … And that to me, you are my duck. ❞ 

               Seiya spoke it loud & clear this time.

But, when it came to his studies; once his nose was in the book, there were VERY FEW methods that would have the ability to pull him away. Shiryu had already broken off two outings with the other saints to spend time finishing his studies; there have been times where he has FALLEN ASLEEP at the table while working on something. But, nevertheless, when he felt a certain PAWNING for affection, his lessons were rightfully forgotten.}
