A third chapter for you :), honestly, I have no idea where this is going, so bare with me^^
~Insomnia~
Storm Fullbuster sat in his bedroom, staring at the ceiling. The guild had been twice as crazy as usual today, in celebration of Gildart's return after nine years away. The aging man had immediately gone to see his beloved Cana. Then the guild held it's biggest party since the return from Tenrou Island. Storm's dad still claims that particular bash was bigger, but Strom found that hard to believe.
GA!
Storm rolled onto his side and sighed. As tired as he was, Storm could not find sleep, and he was bored. Maybe he should go see Liv... she was good at talking without making the young blue haired mage tired. She might even be able to help him fall asleep.
Decision made, Storm hopped out of bed, then climbed out his window. The Fullbusters lived in a nice little one story house near the edge of town, so it was easy for Storm to slip away. Storm walked across Magnolia, his hands in his pockets, whistling to himself. It didn't long to reach the Dragneels' home, however, getting to Liv would be more difficult. The Dragneels had moved into a two story home to hold all of the kids after Daniel was born. Liv had insisted on the only bedroom, besides her parent's, on the second floor.
With a resigned sigh, Storm scaled the wall and slipped through Liv's window.
He landed with a soft thump in her thick purple carpet. The lights were off, and Storm couldn't see his hand in front of his face.
"Liv?"
Storm saw movement from the bed and winced. If she was already asleep Liv would kill him.
The blonde in question sat up slowly, her long tresses falling into her face.
"Storm? Is that you?"
"Yeah.." Storm sat crosslegged on the floor, "I couldn't sleep."
Liv clambered out of bad and sat in front of him.
"What's the matter?"
Storm sighed, "it's nothing..."
Liv quirked one of her thin eyebrows, "if nothing is wrong why did you climb through my window?"
Storm sighed again, sometimes Liv was to smart for the both of them, "it's just something Gildarts said..."
"What is it?" Liv pressed.
Storm shook his head, "he is so happy to see Cana... but he's always gone. He loves her but he still goes away all the time. When my dad gets super strong what if he leaves me?"
Liv giggled, "Storm," her voice was soft, but scolding, "your father and Gildarts are very different people. Gilders likes to be alone. He thinks he is to powerful for the safety of others along with that. Your dad, his magic isn't quite so dangerous. It's easier to control. He wouldn't leave. Especially not with your mom. Don't you remember the story of before they got married? Gray was undercover, and he couldn't tell Juvia for her own safety, so he left her alone without a word. He felt so bad when he came back... he swore to never do it again."
Storm sighed, "I know Liv, I just- I don't know. I just got scared, and I tried not to think about it, but I couldn't sleep..."
Liv smiled and ruffled Storm's hair, "it's okay."
Storm scooted across the floor so he was beside Liv, then he quietly lay his head on her shoulder. Liv smiled and wrapped her arm around him.
They stayed like that for quite a while until Storm fell asleep. Liv smiled down at him, then slowly drifted off herself.
Daniel woke with a start. It was really late, he could see the stars his mother loved so much outside. He'd dreamed about something terrifying.. although... he couldn't really remember what. He didn't want to wake his mom and dad, so he went to the next best thing. He wandered up stairs to Liv's room. He opened the door, and what he saw made Daniel smile and forget his fears. His big sister Liv was cuddled up with Storm on the floor. Apparently the bluenette had come for a visit and fallen asleep. They were curled up together, arms intertwined. Daniel smiled, then walked in and pulled the fluffy blanket off of Liv's bed. Daniel lay it across them gently, trying not to wake the two young friends. The blonde smiled to himself. He was to young to know about love, except he knew his parents were in it. It looked to him like his sister had found her love. Liv may be to young to see it now, but Daniel could. He couldn't wait to see how Storm and Liv's relationship evolved throughout the coming years.
I hope you liked it! I want to make sure I have a point of five for all my little fan kiddies at least once, and I thought showing a little Dannie would be cute. In this story Liv is 15, Storm is 13, and Daniel is 9. Let me know if you'd like to know ages at the end of every chapter, and I'll add them to the others :)
