An elegant teahouse
Nut
OXOXOXOXOX
Bern lay on her bed, the sound of the meta world, forever hauntingly familiar, flittered through her ears like butterflies.
She held a soft pink pillow on her stomach arms wrapped around it securely, her black gaze switched between the ceiling and the door unconsciously.
She didn't know how long it had been, but she was finally staring to feel better. Nuts. She hates them; she hated the taste, she hated the feel, and she hated her bodies reaction when they managed to find their way to her stomach.
She shivered at the thought of the cake she had been forced to eat a while ago.
She couldn't believe that Lambdadelta would poison her in that way. Using her bodies weakness against her. And then she didn't even apologise… or maybe she did but Bernkastel was just to busy trying to breath through her ever decreasing lung capacity, as her throat swelled.
She remembered glaring at Lambda's shocked face, before her sight became fuzzy and she blacked out. She woke to find herself in a surprisingly crowed room, goat butlers and the faces of Vergillia and Ronove leaning over her.
She hadn't been able to move or talk for about a day after that. And no Lambdadelta. Which meant that it was a prank, maybe she had not meant for it to turn out the way it did but it was a prank and that made her mad… furious.
Oh.. When Lambda got back she was going to tie her to the floor and pour molten hot honey into her eyes, then she was going to break each one of her fingers and make her eat nuts till her stomach ruptured. And then she was going to give her the silent treatment, for three-hundred years.
But for the moment she was going to have to wait until she recovered. Even if she was feeling better she still had to flush the remaining poison from her body. She had a high fever and her hair was messy where she had not been able to groom herself.
All in all she felt a little rough, any food she ate would.. Not settle and neither did tea or any other beverage other than water. She was able to move now, she felt so sluggish that she didn't even want to try for fear of making herself worse.
Uncharacteristically she groaned into the pillow. Any noise made her head thrum and ach, her eye sight felt blurry and so she didn't want to read as it just gave her a headache.
And so comforted strangely by the breath of the meta world, she slipped into a light
Meanwhile, Lambdadelta was having a lets just say more stressful time. After she had bolted from the teahouse she had made it back to the meta world and had found the kakera Bern was in in about twenty minutes.
As she thundered through the corridors of the meta world, aura crackling around her daring anyone to come between her and her precious Bern. There were a few lower demon's around who at the sight of her shrank into themselves and disappeared.
She rushed through each corridor trying to find Bern's room. Until she came to a tall door with golden handles. Her eyes softened at the presence on the other side and she reached out, slightly nervous. Her hand covered the golden handle and she squeezed.
That was until she felt a strong arm wrap round her waist and lift her small frame from the door. She yelped and started to kick the man wildly.
Of course there was only a few with the guts to handle her in such a way and the other rested on the other side of the black door.
"RONOVE! Put me down! Put me down! Put me down now! Right Now! RONOVE! Are you listening to me?" As they got further away from the door, Lambda became more and more riled up and upset, resolving in one of the best types of weaponry in her inventory. A tantrum. "Uwah! IDIOT, IDIOT, You stupid head! Put me Dowwwwwn~ No, Bern. BERRRRRRRRRRN~"
This eventually dissolved into sobs and screams, of what seemed to be a butchered version of Bern's name.
Ronove quickly made his way to another room and placed a tear stricken Lambdadelta on to a soft red velvet couch. Which she promptly crumpled into and started to cry.
"Come now, don't be such a drama queen." He bent down to her level handing her a box of tissues. She took out several, wiping her eyes and nose to no avail.
Lambdadelta blubbered her amber eyes wide and teary made her look like she had eyes of topaz. They glinted with tears and Ronove could see her imaginary puppy ears droop.
He patted her now messy hair gently, with his white gloved hand and offered her another tissue.
Eventually she started to quieten down to the point that she stopped crying and was just sniffing, her cheeks were red and puffy as where her eyes and lips. Her hair was a mess and the candy shaped hair ornaments had dislodged, and were now lost in Lambda's blond hair.
He sat on the couch beside her, as she continuously rubbed her eyes on the back of her black gloves.
"There. Do you feel better now?" He asked rubbing her back.
A nod was all he got in a answer.
"Now listen, there is a reason why I did not let you see her."
Lambdadelta looked at him questionably. "Why?"
Ronove sighed. "Well.. You were hysterical, and the last thing Lady Bernkastel needs is you jumping on her babbling apologies.. You did quite a number on her stomach."
Lambdadelta looked down in worriment her hers flickering towards the door. Ronove placed his hand on her arm.
"There is also the factor of her being so angry, that in the heat of the moment, she says some.. Hurtful things to you and then, you would get all upset and go into your 'Bern hates me' stupor and invading my home, and crying for a few days."
..Well.. That was kind of true.
Lambdadelta once again nodded, she couldn't say that her running in there and jumping on Bern would have been the best idea she had ever had.
"See, now lets see what we can do about softening up your girlfriend for you."
At the sound of the word 'girlfriend' Lambdadelta blushed with pleasure. She Wiped off the last of her tears and locked eyes with Ronove.
"Oh-hohoho. Yes, lets plot ideas for softening up my 'Girlfriend'" A grin plastered itself onto her cheeks.
XOXOXOXOXO
A few moments later and Lambdadelta was scribbling ideas down on to a piece of paper, with a red crayon. (she couldn't find a pencil)
Ronove looked on in endearment, truly she was one of the most optimistic people he had ever met. His blue eyes twinkled as her tongue came out as she concentrated. He could practically see her tail wagging happily, as she came up with ideas to woo Bernkastel with.
Truly what a pair her and Bernkastel made the most pessimistic and optimistic persons in existence.
He placed a cup of tea next to her and sat down in a chair.
"So.. What have you got?"
Lambdadelta shot up from her writing eyes twinkling. "Oh-hohoho, wanna see, wanna see? Even I, the wonderful and cute super paper, think I have out done myself this time."
Ronove laughed and took the piece of crumpled paper from her.
In scribbled but surprisingly elegant handwriting for a person who was on the floor using a crayon to write. Were three main ideas accompanied by a small doodle of what it may look like.
Number one: Throw Bern a parade, to cheer her up.
Lots of colours and sweets, I will be at the front of the parade J
Number two: Bake Bern another cake (no nuts)
Yeah cake cheers people up and, and I could jump out of the cake, it would be like amazing.
Number three: Tie my self up with a bow and Kyaaa~ then we could go into a syrup bath, after of which I would slowwwwly lick the syrup off her.
don't need to explain that one :3
Ronove stared at Lambdadelta for a short while her eyes were fixated on him awaiting his verdict.
"Lady Lambdadelta, for give me if I am wrong.. But isn't this just the stuff you want her to do to you?"
A short silence made its way into the room, Ronove looked at Lambdadelta's face as a slight blush made it's way onto her cheeks.
"… Kinda."
"Thought so.. Why don't yo try something… Less histrionic."
Lambdadelta looked at him as if her just handed her a dead baby.
"Don't look at me like that. You know that she'd probably like it more, than you exploding out of a cake."
Lambdadelta grimaced and nodded. It again probably wasn't the best idea… for a sick Bern anyway.
"Uh.. Then I'm lost."
"No your not… Why don't you try something more.. Soft.."
Lambdadelta looked at him, she lifted up her tea and took a thoughtful sip, the one thing about Ronove's tea is that he always knew how much sugar to put in for her.
"What do you mean.. like buy her a new pillow or… oh I could like-…"
Ronove put his hand across her mouth silencing her for a few seconds.
"Or, you could go to her and.. Run you fingers though her undoubtedly knotted hair, and try to sooth her, instead of giving her a headache. Which is no doubt you will do."
Lambdadelta pouted and sank into her chair. She couldn't deny that the prospect of Ronove's ideas were very… enjoyable.
"She is sick at the moment… Maybe she needs more comfort more than cheering up."
Lambdadelta contemplated this idea. "Are you sure your not a girl Ronove."
"Oh hush, go on.." He said, pushing her towards the door. As she left she could hear Ronove saying 'Don't forget to say sorry'
XOXOXOXOXO
Later outside the very same doors a much calmer Lambdadelta stood. Taking a deep breath she opened the door to a dark room. It was rather bleak and only had a large bed in the middle of it. A far cry from their usual room, that was filled with sweets, and Bernkastel's books.
There was a scrunched up figure on the bed, and as she got closer Lambda could see dark rings under her, eyes a flushed face, sweating.
It felt like a jack hammer to her soul, she didn't mean too, and it took all of her will power to not jump on the bed and hug Bern to death.
She took a deep breath and slowly clambered onto the large bed. It sunk under her weight. As she crawled over to Bern, she could see the tail twitch; Bern was dreaming, how cute.
Gently she bushed Bern's messy bangs out of her face and lifted her head into her lap. She gently stroked the top of her head, down behind her ears and scratched carefully.
Bern yawned at the attention, and snuggled in deeper.
Lambdadelta giggled quietly and stroked her chin, her other hand still calmly stroking her head.
Eventually Bern's dark eyes creaked open and she slowly registered where she was… Well where her head was.
She grumbled and tried to roll out of the touch angrily. But Lambdadelta held her in place.
"No.. don't move, it feels nice right?"
Bern froze as Lambda removed her gloves and ran her fingers gently un-knotting the silky blue locks. Slowly she began to relax into the touch and her eyes drifted closed like a content cat.
"Bern?"
Bern's eyes fluttered open a slit and looked up into Lambdadelta's soft amber eyes. Lambda lent down and kissed her feverish forehead.
"I'm sorry."
Bern looked away from the sincerity in the eyes above hers. Lambdadelta waited for a second, cool fingers brushed the hair from Bern's face.
She heard a light but noticeable sigh, and felt Bern completely relax into her touch. She smiled and hugged Bern's head a little closer, to herself.
OXOXOX
Just outside a very happy Ronove smiled at the scene, he sighed and smiled getting up and letting the slight crack in the door slide close silently.
XOXOXOXO
