"I don't get it at all! I mean, sure Vincent is pretty creepy and all but he and Gilbert aren't so bad! I have no idea why the others don't want me to talk with them! Gilbert is so nice too!"

"I see"

"Sheesh Leo! Are you even paying attention to me?" six year old Elliot Nightray sighed as he watched his black haired servant just nod without even looking at him.

"I was paying attention" the noirette said, his nose still buried in the book he was reading.

The youngest of the Nightray's scowled. "If you were then what was I talking about just now?"

"You're grumbling about why your older siblings are preventing you from interacting with your newest adoptive siblings, am I mistaken?" seven year old Leo, shaggy head and glasses and all, replied; still engrossed in the story of Roland and Princess Etoile in their quest to save their kingdom. In all truth, he was indeed paying his Master as well as his book, after all, who knows the consequences if he were to let the Nightray out of his sight in a mood like this. Besides that, it was fun to see the look on his Master's face when he gets embarrassed.

He was not disappointed.

Elliot's scowl only deepened as a flush crawled up his cheeks. Leo smirked.

Elliot always did hate it when Leo would do something like this, and he just had to go and use those complicated words again. The bookworm.

With an indignant huff, the small brunette marched right towards the noirette, snatching the big round glasses (which seriously looked too big for his face) right off the servant's nose.

"Heeey, that's rude Elliot!" Leo whined, glaring half-heartedly at his master. Elliot only glared back at him, still flushed with the embarrassment he had received not too long ago.

Without the two knowing, a glaring contest had begun. And by the looks of it, neither is going to give it up.

It was only a few moments after that the door to the library opened, revealing the 15 year old Gilbert who halted at the sight.

Sadly, the two didn't stop glaring. "Hello Master Gilbert. Are you here for some books to read?" Leo asked the adoptive Nightray, not looking away from his own Master.

"Uhm… yes, actually I'm looking for some history books…" Gilbert replied. He couldn't help the smile on his face at the childishness being displayed in front of him. "May I ask what you two are doing?" he asked them, slowly entering the room.

"We're having a Glaring Contest. What does it look like?" it was a reply from Elliot this time. The smile on Gilberts face grew.

"Who's winning?"

"We don't know" the two replied in unison, something that made the older Nightray quirk a brow. Then he noticed something. Leo's glasses were currently on his Little brother's hand; this gave him a little information of what started this little game. But his curiosity landed on the small noirette's eyes, which were, oddly enough, still covered by clumps of hair.

"If you two are having a glaring contest, then isn't Leo cheating with all that hair covering his eyes?" Gilbert turned towards the door at the new voice, it turned out that Vincent had just come in and were staring at the two kids with amused mismatched eyes. "Maybe I should cut it off"

"Now that I think about it, he's right. You are cheating Leo!" Elliot glared harder.

Leo stayed silent for a moment, before finally speaking. "Although I wouldn't cheat on purpose, you do have a point. Okay, I admit my defeat"

At this, a smirk spread proudly upon Elliot's lips as he marched towards Leo again. "Then you know what happens when you lose right?" he grinned, taking something out of his pocket.

Leo only sighed, rolling his unseen eyes. "Yes Master" he said, taking the things from Elliot's hands.

Gilbert was getting confused now. "What are they doing?" he asked, turning to Vincent. The blond only hummed as he replied.

"Oh that. It's sort of a penalty. If they start a game, then it's either a loss or a win. If Leo wins, then Elliot will have to do whatever he says for a day. If it's Elliot's win, then Leo has to tie his hair"

"Why only hair?" Gilbert asked again, even more perplexed.

Vincent smiled at that look on his beloved older brother's face. "Well, Leo is already Elliot's servant, so Leo following Elliot's orders for a day as a penalty is near null and void because it's already default. This became his penalty because for some reason, Leo hate's to show his eyes. That's why this consequence is usually paired up with Elliot keeping Leo's glasses"

"I see" Gilbert stated, understanding a bit.

"Of course, most of the time, its Leo's win, so the times when he actually does this consequence is infrequent" Vincent continued, now staring the youngest child in the room. "But believe me, it isn't just Elliot who take's pleasure from this"

Gilbert raised an eyebrow at that statement and he turned to see what Vincent might have meant by that. And boy did he get it.

The child's eyes were indeed a sight to see, they were beautiful in all sense of the term.

"Can I have my glasses back?" Leo asked Elliot once he was done tying his hair.

Elliot looked thoughtful for a moment, holding the spectacles quite tightly in his hands. "No" was his plain reply.

Leo rolled his eyes again, and this time it was visible. "I really don't like people staring at me, you know that Elliot"

"I won fair and square so you have to do the consequence. It's the rules" the youngest Nightray huffed out.

"Master Vincent and Master Gilbert are staring at me" Leo stated simply.

"Okay here you go" and he was able to get his glasses back.
