Ethan
"I'd love to find out about those things." The pretty woman in my bed sat up, leaning on one elbow, "So, do I get to see the rest of this place? There has to be more people that live here than you."
I nodded, "there are others." I pulled myself up to sit.
"May I meet them?"
I opened my mouth to tell her that she absolutely could but then shut it, wondering how much time had passed. I glanced towards the clock to see it was about one in the morning.
"Ah, I could show you around. Though I'm unsure if the others are awake." I blinked, remembering that BrokenTear hadn't yet met Akane. Though I knew he wouldn't refuse her to stay. I slowly stood up and looked at her.
"I imagine the owner of the mansion is still roaming about." I smiled, trying to hide the disgust that even the thought of BrokenTear brought to me.
"He's very kind, always offering a home to those who need it." Though I wasn't lying, I still wasn't too fond of speaking about him.
I found my boxers and pulled them on before my jeans. As much as I craved to shower and pull on a long skirt, I decided to wait on that. I shoved my shirt in the laundry basket. I didn't care much to wear it at the moment.
"Ah, if you'd like to shower later, I'm sure my sister wouldn't mind if you borrowed one of her nightgowns to sleep in. If you're tired, that is." I threw in a smirk and a wink.
After Akane got dressed, I led her through the long hallways and not too long after, BrokenTear.

BrokenTear
"Of course I won. Silly man, you didn't stand a chance against me." Yuki's tone was playfully snooty so I played along, pulling my face into a dramatic frown. I crossed my arms over my chest and pouted before Yuki found herself in a laughing fit.
"Well, maybe you stood some little sort of a chance." I pretended that those words were giving me purpose in life. I smiled widely before settling into a smirk.
"Who said anything about actually liking your smile? I just said you should smile more often is all, could use it to your advantage sometime." As Yuki was thinking, I had a thought of my own.
"I definitely could use it to my advantage." My grin widened, "To win a certain someone over." But I quickly shut my mouth as quickly as I had said it. Yuki looked at me with a slightly lost expression.
And I was just as lost. Why had I said that? Obviously, the certain someone was Yuki. But I could never bring myself to win her over. She's just a kid and I'm... Well. I'm not just a kid. For gods' sake, I've been married and had a child before.
But then again, she didhave that side of her. The mature one I had seen out on the balcony--
My thoughts were interrupted as Ethan and a girl I didn't recognize appeared.
Ethan kept his distance, "This is BrokenTear." He gestured to me, "The head of the manor. And--" he shifted his attention to Yuki, "is Yuki."
I noted to myself that Yuki and the other girl had similar auras, like she was another shapeshifter.
"This is Akane." Ethan introduced.
"Welcome, Akane." I bowed with a welcoming smile towards her. I glanced at Yuki, feeling a tad awkward and hoping the whole statement before the interruption would just be erased.

(I don't know out of the two of you should post first or anything, so I suppose whoever gets to it first? lol)

Forever
"Don't tempt me, dear Forever. I would be more than happy to hold you captive here, though it would be for much longer than a moment. I warned you earlier that I'm of the possessive type, statements like that dont help matters."
Setsu's hold on me tightened. Out of joy and surprise, I squeaked and then blushed vibrantly. He cuddled closer to me and intertwined our legs.
"Unless you have something you need to do, I really don't feel like leaving." He seemed sincere in his sweet words. His lips met my shoulder and my cheeks went rose-colored once again.
"I don't have to be up for a while." I stated. I shifted so that my head was on his chest again. I locked my hands behind his neck and looked up at him. Damn, I really want to kiss him. the thought waved through my mind as I looked at his lips. Soft and pink. I wondered it was like to be kissed. Well, really kissed. BrokenTear had kissed me through my mask. And despite that my lips never directly touched his, I didn't mind it. But I couldn't bring myself to really like it all so well either.
I wanted to know what it was like to kiss a boy that I actually liked. To kiss a boy whose every move seemed to make my heart flutter and warmth rush through my body.
It would be so nice, even with this accursed mask, to just lean up and kiss him.
But I couldn't. Couldn't risk ruining what we have.
So I looked back down, almost ashamed of those thoughts. I buried my face in to his chest and just breathed in his pleasant scent.
