Erela
"Do you think BrokenTear would know anything more about this than us? I mean, he is the head of this mansion, and he seems to know a lot about a lot. He obviously likes to read. Maybe he's come across something in his years that could shed some light on it? Oh, but I suppose you've probably talked to him about it already, huh?" Akane sat up in her chair, seeming to have a revelation.
"Oh, I've actually hardly brushed the topic with him. He never really knew Ethan and I wanted to be separate beings." I responded, blushing at the thought that I had never realized that BrokenTear might have a clue, "I think that would be a wise idea, Akane." I smiled.
I shut the book in my hands, "Shall we go to find him, then?" Akane following behind me, I walked to the exit. Long hair swishing behind me.
I wondered about Ethan. What was this like from his perspective? To be a boy and have a strong connection with Akane, and to not be a human like me. I wondered if he minded that I wanted to befriend Akane. Is that weird?
I shrugged these thoughts off when a yawn escaped my lips. How could I possibly be so sleepy after so much sleep? Maybe it was the reading.
My body felt heavy and I could feel myself slipping away. I turned to Akane to see a confused expression from her.
"I'm so sleepy..." I whispered before I knew I would be out like a light. I meandered my way to a cozy chair and closed my eyes.
Ethan
I felt a whoosh of motion in my stomach, and I blinked my eyes open. Akane standing over me was a delightful way to wake up, even if in confusion.
"A... Akane?" I swept the hair back from my face, "Wha... Are we in the library?" I asked, glancing around the room. I rubbed my eyes and stood up, stretching, my shirt lifting with me.
After a moment, it all occurred to me what had probably happened. Akane met Erela.
"I guess I probably should have mentioned that my sister takes over sometimes." I let out a nervous chuckle, "oops."
BrokenTear
"Needless to say, I was smelling mint for days afterwards," Yuki ended her story as we enjoyed eachother's company.
"That sounds like a lot of fun." I commented with a smile. I tried to remember stories from my own past that weren't too serious, "I didn't have siblings or really anyone for a while." I thought of a story I could tell and remembered it fondly.
"Once upon a time, back when I was a teenager." I watched as her eyes lit up with a sarcastic comment about my age, "yes I know, such a long time ago. It was such a hard time partying with no party favors and trying to entertain ourselves with the lute." I laughed along with her.
"My wife Alyssa and I were on our first date. I was really nervous, as well, because no one really liked me back then. Except her." I reminisced, remembering the bonfire lighting up her face. The cigarette smoke clouded her dark velvet red lips.
"I was such an awkward teenager, and Alyssa was such a carefree little flower child. Though you couldn't tell from looking at her. She always dressed in black. And me? I was a feared demon with braces." I snorted.
"But anyway, we were on our first date, and I happened to mention that I thought trees didn't really have feelings. But she thought differently. We ended up in an argument about whether or not trees could be upset. So, me being the total tough guy I am, I kicked a tree." I smirked at the memory, "And I'm fairly certain now that trees have emotions. Because that particular tree exacted it's revenge with a branch to my head."
I laughed, a little embarrassed but happy to share with Yuki.
Forever
"Well now, what do you feel like doing dear Forever? I'm up for anything." Setsuna asked me after kissing me.
I thought for a moment. What could Setsu and I do together? I'm sure we'd have quite a fun time with anything.
"I have no idea. We could return to my room and see if there's anything to do in there?" I asked, before gesturing to the door behind me.
I led him in, glancing around my room for something to do. After not finding much but my journal, I grabbed it and sat on my bed. He took a place beside me.
"This is a journal of poems that I write." I blushed, "I've never let anyone else read them, would you like to?"
