Terrius POV " Manor! You can't keep yourself locked in there forever. " I knocked on the door and I called out to him. From the corner of my eye, I could see Lancelot getting out of his bathtub and walking toward Kaen. The door finally opens a crack. " Go away. I'm not in the mood..." Manor informs as he hides behind the door. " Alright, then I'll just go and give Lancelot a piece of my mind then." I shrug as I slowly walk away, within seconds Manor grabs my hand and pulls me into the room. " Do what you want but never go near that ba**** again!" Manor says as he closes the door behind me and lays down on the bed. " Manor. .... * Sighs*" I just sigh unable to think of anything to say that would cheer him up. I lay down on the bed next to him and looked up at the ceiling. It looks like it's been carved out by hand for such smoothness to be achieved. " You know, this is the first time in years that I came so close to my mother's grave..... I never thought I would m
Terrius POV " See! Even Terrius thinks your cheering sucks!! How the hell are you his number 1 fan?!" Kaen yells at Lancelot. I have a feeling we're one small step from everything getting out of hand. " Yeah.. that was kinda too much... a number 1 fan doesn't support like that. They actually try their best to help their idol to relax and make them feel confident and comfortable. What you did had the opposite effect on Manor. You should try to be his friend instead of this. ..." I say calmly but deep down I was actually panicking. I don't know what Kaen is like when he loses it and from the look on his face, I really don't want to know. " * Nods nods* Yes, you're right. I guess we can start by having a friendly meal together then." Lancelot says as he thoughtfully strokes his chin. " * Tsk* There's no way I'm eating with that crap of a Version. Why don't you just get lost? I can't stand to see that disgusting face of yours. " Kaen clicked his tongue " Eh?! Little 7!!
Hikaru POV I say as I grab Kaen's shoulder, not allowing him to leave his seat. Kaen looks down at the food and his eyes immediately lit up but as soon as he sees V1 it turns back into a dead glare. "... Then I'm not eating without you! I'll join you later for dinner then." Kaen says as he turns around and hugs me with a huge smile as he looks up at me with his adorable eyes. So cute!!..... Wait a minute. .. Nowadays Kaen has been using his cuteness to get want he wants. Normally it would be for extra deserts but this is no small issue! You think you can get out of this that easily? " Alright then, how about this?" I ask with a smirk as I sat down on Kaen's seat and pull him onto my lap. " Hey!" Kaen immediately tries to get up but I hug him from behind. " There! Now you can enjoy dinner with your senior and me." I whisper into his ear as I rested my chin on his shoulder. " There's no way I'm going to eat with him!!" Kaen whined. " Then there's no way I'm givin
Kaen POV It's so heavy... I thought as I open my eyes just to come face to face with Hikaru's sleeping face as his arms were hugging me again. " Hiki... Get off you're heavy. .." I say sleepy as I push against his chest trying to get free from his bear grip hug. " Hmmm?... Never mind that, just go back to sleep... it's too early..." Hikaru says sleepily as he pulls me closer and hides his face in the crook of my neck. "..... Oi... I didn't say you could droll on my shirt..." I say as I pull the collar of his t-shirt over his mouth. "... Does it matter? .... You always drool on mine. .." " That's because you keep spooning me from the front...Why am I wearing a t-shirt anyway?" "... You're the one that kept saying that someone..... * yawns* ....might misunderstand if they saw two men sleeping together in their boxes. .... so I put one on you yesterday night. ...." Hikaru sleepily explained. "... which is why you should sleep in your own room...Why do you always s
Hikaru POV " I see that you're really enjoying yourself." I say to Kaen when I finally spot him sitting under one of the many trees he destroyed in the garden of the East Wing, drinking away his sorrows. " Leave me alone." Kaen says in a depressed way as he takes another swing of his drink. Now that I looked closely at the bottle, I realized it was high-quality spirits. He must have swiped it from a Noble or something. " Well then, you shouldn't have become my Master." I sat next to him as I grabbed the bottle from his hand and took a swing from it too. Kaen just sighs as he rests his head in his hand. We watched the waxing crescent moon for a while before I passed back the bottle. Kaen took it from me and I noticed that his fated mark was now gone. I grabbed his hand to have a better look at it, hoping ours would appear when I did but.... it just didn't... strange. ... I thought I did it right. .. " Yeah, it's gone. ... maybe we weren't meant to be after all." Kaen's
Terrius POV " You seem awfully confident for a guy face down on the floor. " Kaen yawned as he closed his eyes and snuggled against his arm. " Don't let appearance OW!!" Manor yelled out. " Whoa!" Hikaru exclaimed. I look up from my book to see Hikaru holding the countertop while Manor was holding his leg in pain. Hikaru must have stepped on him by accident, I thought as I returned to reading my book. " Sorry! Didn't see you there!" Hikaru apologized. " I didn't either but I felt your shoe! Really Well!" Manor wheezed out. " Why don't you go and wake up V1? That way we can at least put the kitchen floor to good use." Hikaru suggested. " Aww, man..." Manor groans as he gets up and dusted himself. Kaen started snickering. " And take Kaen with you too." Hikaru ordered. " Eh?!" Kaen said in shock. " * Laughing* What goes around comes around eh?" Manor laughed. Kaen groans and they both walked over to the bathtub in the living room. " Morning, Terrius." Hikaru gre
Terrius POV " Who * gags*?" We all turn and look at Lancelot in shock as he takes a seat at the table. He was dripping wet and bleeding but he sat there like nothing happened. Kaen and Manor both fell off their seats in shock. " * Gags* Why the * gags* So salty!" Lancelot gags and chokes on the salt that Manor and Kaen had poured into his mouth before dunking his whole body into the water. He snapped his fingertips and within a moment, he was dry and back to normal. " Ok! Who's bright idea was it to dump salt down my throat?" Lancelot casually asked like he was talking about the weather. Kaen and Manor immediately pointed at each other. " How the heck are you still alive?! You were underwater for 5 minutes!!" I asked Lancelot in shock. " He can't die." Hikaru points out as he picks Kaen off the floor, takes a seat, and places a very shocked Kaen onto his lap. I waited a moment for Hikaru to continue and explain his answer but he didn't. " Then explain the rest!"
Hikaru POV After V1 briefed us on the quest and finished his breakfast, he left the table, returning back to his bathtub without another word, leaving us to finish our meal. Manor fell asleep with his eyes open before V1 even finished briefing. Wow, just how tired is he? Guess, I'll wake him up and fill him in when it's time to go. The rest of us started wondering why V1 would bring a bathtub everywhere he goes and what the point of it was before joking about how the bathtub could be the source of all his powers and fooling around with weird hilarious theories. Eventually, we joined V1 back in the living room, where we found him dozing off in his bathtub. This time it was much easier to wake him and when we did V1 snaps his fingertips and immediately 4 fake sheep scurry out from their hiding spots and into a row. " These will be the fake sheep that will be helping you with this mission. " V1 informed with a sleepy expression. All 4 of them salute. " Aite O U O?" Kaen asked as
