Negi groaned as a finger poked him, burrowing his face further into his pillow which earned giggling from nearby that he paid no attention to.
"Negi-kun…" A teasing female voice said softly as the finger poked his cheek again.
"Too early to be up Anya. Go back to sleep before you wake Bloom and Nekane-nee." Negi mumbled as he snuggled further. He heard quite a bit of cooing at that and felt his 'pillow' vibrate as someone chuckled.
"We'll try not to wake Bloom-chan Negi-bozu but do you mind getting up so that I can get breakfast, de gozaru?" An amused voice asked causing Negi to blink as he sat up and yawned slightly before opening his eyes fully.
"Thank you, de gozaru! Didn't know you still snuggled with your sister, de gozaru." A familiar voice said grinning cheekily as the tall ninja sat up and stretched slightly, cracking her back in several places while Negi blinked for a minute. He let out a startled eep and scooted away from Kaede, turning his head slightly when he bumped into someone else.
"It's really cute, aru." A perky voice behind him said, making him look up in the eyes of the resident Kung Fu specialist, Ku Fei. A soft mewl caused everyone to quiet down as they looked at where Bloom was sleeping on Zazie's chest and holding the top part of Mana's pajamas in a surprisingly tight grip. Both of the girls were awake and Mana smiled ever so slightly as Zazie smiled and wrapped her arms around Bloom.
"Daddy make Aunties be quiet. Too early." Bloom grumbled slightly and she seemed to stir for a minute before Mana placed an arm around her while Zazie kissed the red head's forehead and hummed softly. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the small red head went back to sleep, snuggling into the holds happily.
"That's got to be awkward for you two." A girl Negi recognized as Haruna Saotome said looking at the two with a small grin on her face.
"Zazie has a sister so she's used to doing things like this sometimes…I have no siblings but she's a cute kid so I don't mind." Mana covered for them quickly with a shrug of her shoulders, exchanging quick amused looks with Zazie. It's not like they'd tell the local rumor monger and gossip queen that the two of them were used to sleeping curled up together in Zazie's bed…or that the two of them could be considered married since they had a permanent pactio together with Zazie as the Magister... even though in almost every way of looking at it she was much stronger than Mana although she didn't really show it much. While the girls were distracted Negi quickly took note of who was there.
Kaede had just entered the kitchen with the twins, Chao and Satsuki were already in there, Haruna, Ku Fei, and a trio of girls Negi recognized as Ako, Chizuru, and Yuna were cooing over the rather trapped Mana and Zazie, Hakase was nearby working on something although she occasionally looked up and smiled at the group, Yue and Nodoka were reading quietly nearby, and Kazumi Asakari was taking pictures of everyone, especially the sleeping Bloom. Negi couldn't help but feel as if there was another presence in the room that he couldn't see.
"Sorry. We only had one bedroom back at my home in Wales and it gets very cold there. Bloom usually stays with Nee-San in her bed but occasionally she drags me over to sleep with them when it's very cold… or when she wants to snuggle." Negi said apologizing to Kaede who waved it off.
"It's no problem, de gozaru. The twins sneak into my bed more often than not so I'm used to it, de gozaru." Kaede said with a wave of her hand as she sat at the table where the two cooks were placing a bunch of food.
"I can take her now if you want." Negi offered as he looked at Mana and Zazie who glanced up at him and shook their heads. Zazie seemed to hold Bloom tighter protectively as she scooted closer to Mana.
"It's okay sensei. We don't mind, looks like Zazie will attack you if you try to take Bloom-chan from her anyways." Mana said tightening the arm around Bloom and Zazie ever so slightly.
"Zazie-nee's acting like a protective mom!" Fumika said giggling with her sister while Zazie looked wide eyed at this and blushed slightly.
"She'll make a good mom someday." Chizuru said smiling at Zazie who turned redder and turned her body slightly so that she was curled into Mana with Bloom cuddled in between them, Zazie burying her face in Mana's neck over Bloom's head.
"Now you two look like a couple with their kid!" Yuna said grinning while Mana blinked, her arm still draped over Zazie and Bloom, before she smiled but blushed slightly.
"They make a good couple! Look how protective Mana-san is of Zazie-san, while Zazie-san is the one who wants to be protected but they both are protective of Bloom-chan!" Ako said smiling while Mana blushed a little harder…Zazie nearly had a full body blush by now.
"I feel like painting now and I know just what I want to paint." Haruna said grinning like a shark at the two who were in a pretty… not really compromising but it certainly proved they were more than mere friends and roommates.
"Breakfast is ready!" Satsuki yelled from the kitchen, waking Bloom up instantly as she shot up wide eyed with a blast of fire knocking Asakura's camera out of the reporters hands when it flashed.
Everyone and everything was still for a minute as Bloom looked around frantically for a second before seeing her pale dad and the worried Mana and Zazie, the latter of whom was holding her protectively and looking at her concerned.
"Woah…." The twins said wide eyed and Naegi could tell which of them already knew of magic. Kaede, Chao, Yuna, Fu Kei and Hakase didn't even bat an eye at the sight of the fire leaving the small girl, and of course Mana and Zazie already knew….the others though. For the longest of moments everyone was quiet as Negi grew paler and paler before Hakase spoke up. Everyone except Bloom, Zazie and Mana face planted at her remark.
"So she's a Fire based Mage. Fascinating."
