[name] groaned slightly as the sunlight shone through her windows and directly onto her face. She quickly used her arm to cover her eyes, and that's when she realised that she felt someone beside her on the bed. She immediately sat up and turned to look at who it was; and glared at the very sleeping prince beside her; Sakamaki Shu.
"Bloody bastard." [name] muttered out loud enough, as she totally knew Shu could hear her.
"Language…" he mumbled out as he sneakily opened one of his light ocean blue eyes, and smirked at the sight before him. A [name], wearing nothing but a simple nightgown, and one of the strap had fallen from her shoulder. Her hair was in a mess, but that made her even more sexy; and Shu smirked even more when [name] tilted her head to one side.
"What are you smirking at you little sick bas-." And she was immediately cut off when she felt her back hitting her mattress, and the bed had sunk a little more. She was laid flat on her back, with both her wrists being gripped firmly by Shu, and he straddled himself on her hips, causing her the inability to move. He then shifted his face closer to [name]'s face, their nose almost touching….

"THE FUCK YOU DOING, SAKAMAKI SHU! GET OFF OF ME!"
"You didn't have to hit me so hard, [name]." Shu spoke out lazily while he held his cheek that has been slapped pretty hard by [name] just a few minutes ago.
"You shouldn't have done it in the first place." [name] replied flatly, and Shu could only smirk.
"Still the same feisty girl."
"Shut it."
"Make me."
"DAMMIT YOU'RE ANNOYING!"
"What's all this ruckus about?" Ruki asked as he spotted the duo entering the dining room; where both he and Reiji were setting up the table for breakfast, with Azusa and Kanato already seated.
"Mr. I Like to Snatch [name]'s Bed here, decided to be an asshole. That's what." [name] spoke out and glared daggers at Shu who just smirked in response as he made his way towards his seat.
"Language, [name]." Ruki called out as he set down the final plate.
"MORNING, [NAME]-CHAN~" Kou called out as he skipped into dining room with a pair of annoyed looking vampires; Edgar and Subaru.
"Morning, Kou-nii!" [name] called out as she gave Kou his usual morning hugs; definitely not noticing the glare that Shu was giving when [name] made body contact with Kou.
"Shut it, Kou. You're so noisy." Edgar roared out as he walked towards [name], who quickly wrapped herself around Yuma's body and gave him a light peck on the cheek.
"Morning." And Edgar lifted her up with ease and pecked her on the forehead.
"Sometimes, the both of you act like couples instead of siblings." Subaru muttered out.
"We're the inseparable twins. In case you didn't realise that." Edgar commented as [name] stuck a tongue out at Subaru, clearly annoying him.
"Inseparable twin?" Kanato asked as he cocked his head to one side.
"When a normal family that has twins; it's either a blessing or a curse. The inseparable twins are a blessing; where the twins get along with each other extremely well and dote one another. It is also said that they will bring luck to the family." Reiji spoke as he took his seat.
"What about the curse?" Ayato asked as he had heard the first part of Reiji's explanation the moment he entered the dining room with Raito.
"Vampire hunter families are prone to the cursed twins, and sometimes if the normal family is unlucky; they might get it as well. The cursed twins are basically twins that are born, but one is weaker than the other. Some might get along, but most of the time they don't; and someday one of the twins, usually the stronger one will turn into a cannibal and devour his or her own twin." [name] continued as she sat down at her seat.
"Sakamaki Raito, before I stab you with a knife; you better get your filthy hands away from [name] this instance." Kou threatened while holding a knife in his hand as he noticed Raito was making inappropriate gesture with his hands at [name].
"So mean~"
"SHUT IT!"
"What's this?" Edgar thought to himself as he found a music book lying in [name]'s room. He then bent down slightly and picked it up, flipping through the pages of the music book.
"Eh? This doesn't look like [name]'s handwriting…" Edgar mumbled to himself as he continued to flip through the music book.
"Is this a music book, or a journal?" Edgar thought to himself as he continued to flip through the pages and plop himself onto [name]'s bed, his body weight sinking the mattress down in a slight manner. He then turned and laid flat on his stomach while he continued to read the contents of the supposedly music book.
"I met Edgar today, and he introduced me to his twin sister! They both really look alike, and I kind of developed a small crush on his sister…"
"Eh? This must be Shu's…" Edgar mumbled out as he flipped to the next page.
"Today; Edgar and [name] brought me apples! Or rather [name] stole some apples from Edgar when he wasn't looking and gave it to me. I must say, Edgar's hand-picked apples always taste the best."
"Woah…" Edgar mumbled out as he flipped the next page.
"I don't know what's wrong with me. My heart raced in a fast manner when [name] started to play a violin piece for me when she knew I was sad. And the hug that I got from her, I think I'm really in love with her. I want to see her smile, hear her laughter. Her voice is like music to my ears!"
"Woah, woah, woah. Shu wrote this? Wow, he's definitely in love. What about now though?" Edgar thought out loudly as he shut the book and stood up from [name]'s bed. He then turned and stared in shock as his pair of brown eyes immediately met with a pair of light ocean blue eyes.
"I was looking for that." Shu spoke as he eyed his music book, which was actually a hidden journal.
"You dropped it here in the first place." Edgar argued back and shoved the book into Shu's chest.
"And to answer your question, I'm still in love with her." Shu mumbled out.
"BAKA. AS IF I'LL LET YOU HAVE HER!" Edgar yelled and pout. He then sighed and shook his head, smiling widely and soon laughter came out from his mouth.
"Baka, go and confess to her then." Edgar spoke out as he punched Shu in the stomach.
"It's not easy, I don't know if she feels the same way as me." Shu mumbled out as he made his way towards [name]'s bed; and laid himself there, shutting his eyes. Edgar then rolled his eyes and walked over to the bed, plopping himself onto it; just beside Shu.
"That's not like you Shu. Where's that sadistic vampire?" Edgar spoke as he jabbed his finger into Shu's side hard, causing Shu to yelp in surprise and somewhat pain as well.
"When it comes to her, I'm just a timid vampire." Shu mumbled as he sat up.
"Here's some advice, Neet. Either you confess to her, or lose her." Edgar roared out and quickly teleported out of [name]'s room, into the garden where [name] was busy planting seeds for the next harvest.
"IT'S NOT EASY. EDGAR!"
"Edgar? What happened? Why is Shu screaming your name?" [name] asked as she stood up and straightened her back after squatting for a good 45 minutes. She then proceeded to the next garden patch and grabbed the garden hose; turning the water on slightly and sprinkled the water over the patch.
"He's just being a coward." Edgar muttered as he grabbed the hose from [name] and started to water the other plants.
"Ne, I'm cooking today. What do you want to have for dinner?" [name] asked as she started to pull out the vegetables she will be needing for tonight's dinner.
"Nothing in particular… Maybe… Just not curry." Edgar muttered, and [name] could only giggle.
"You clearly know that the both us dislike curry. Don't be a baka!" [name] chided him in a cute manner before pulling out the potatoes from the ground, and placing it into the basket that was clearly about to be full to the brim.
"I SAID GET OUT, RUKI-NII!" [name] yelled as she shoves Ruki out of the kitchen in a harsh manner, and slamming the door right in his face; causing him to pale slightly at her sudden outburst. He sighed as he made his way towards the living room, and plop himself down onto the sofa, where Reiji was seated at the other side sipping on his cup of tea.
"Same thing happened to you?" Reiji asked as he placed a cup of tea in front of Ruki.
"Yeah… What's wrong with her today?" Ruki muttered as he grabbed hold of the cup of tea and sip on it, savouring the sweetness.
"KOU-NII! I SAID DON'T COME IN, JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE OFF TODAY; DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN COME DISRUPT ME WHEN I'M COOKING!"
And soon enough, Kou came into the living room pouting and throwing a little bit of temper as he threw himself onto the sofa opposite of where Ruki and Reiji were seated at.
"It's not fair! Why does Yuma get to stay with her, while I don't?!" Kou whined.
"Because Yuma knows what [name] wants to do, baka."
"RUKI!"
"IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME EVER SINCE I HAD [NAME]'S COOKING!" Kou cried out as he sat at the dining table; while both [name] and Edgar were busy setting the table up. [name] could only giggle at Kou's childish antics, and placed a bowl of rice before him.
"Kou-nii, please remember to share alright?" [name] spoke as she went towards the trolley to bring out a huge plate of grilled mackerel.
"It smells like heaven in here." Ruki spoke as he took his seat which was beside Kou.
"There's more though." [name] spoke as Edgar set a huge pot of meat and potato stew in the middle of the dining table.
"That's [name]'s best cooking!" Kou whined out as he made a grab for the huge pot of stew; only to get hit on the head hard by Ruki.
"Azusa, could you help me get the rest to come down for dinner?" [name] asked as she spotted Azusa peeking through the slightly opened door.
"Sure…"
"There's cucumber salad too!" Kou cried out as he held onto Ruki tightly, for fear that he might not be able to control himself and devour all the food in an instant.
"Why not you head out for a break instead, I'll do the washing." Ruki spoke as he ushered [name] out through the back door of the kitchen; her ending up in the garden full of white roses.
"Pfft. Stupid Ruki-nii." [name] mumbled to herself as she walked through the sweet scented white roses garden.
"Just do it already!"
"It isn't easy!"
And [name] heard a commotion going on from behind the bushes, and she decided to head over there.
"Dammit, stop beating around the bush!"
"We are behind a bush!"
"What the fuck?" [name] thought to herself as she saw a rather intimate scene before her; Edgar was lying flat on the floor on his back, with Shu straddled on his hip and his wrists being pinned on both sides of his head.
"Just do it already!" Edgar mumbled-yelled out.
"It isn't easy, dammit." Shu muttered.
"Woah." [name] called out, and the two boys before her turned to look, and they immediately turned beet red as they realised the position they were in.
"Didn't know you two were gay for each other." [name] called out with a giggle and took off running in the opposite direction, into the house once again.
"IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!"
"[NAME]!"
"Ne, Kou-nii. Are you… Angry at me?" [name] asked as she laid in Kou's bed, supporting herself with her elbows.
"Angry? What for?" Kou asked as he came out from his bathroom, a towel over his head.
"You can no longer be an idol, that is…" [name] mumbled out as she felt the empty spot beside her on the bed, sink down due to Kou's weight.
"Ah? No need to be angry." Kou spoke out as he started to ruffle his hair with the towel.
"Still… I'm sorry…" [name] mumbled, and all of a sudden she felt the weight beside her go all light; and suddenly two hands cupped her face.
"Baka. If it means you being safe, and I get to spend more time with the family; it's everything." Kou mumbled out as he pecked [name] on her forehead. Not realising a certain pair of light ocean blue eyes were staring at the duo from the balcony with jealousy obviously shown in them.
[name] pout as she made her way down the hallway, looking for a particular light ocean blue eyed vampire. She sighed as she checked his room to find it empty, and also his usual spots that she will always find him at were also empty. She puffed her cheeks out as she made a turn and walked passed a particular room that she has never set foot into before.
She stopped as she heard music coming from within; and it wasn't just any music. It was a song that she knew too well; a song that she had always sung to Shu whenever he cried, back when they were younger. She placed her ear against the door to listen better, and then she smiled softly; lightly singing the lyrics out.
"I still love you in my heart
Ai ni obieteta
Please tell me back in the days
Wasurenaide…"
[name] then smiled softly once more and pushed open the door.
She smiled at the sight before her; Shu playing the piano with his eyes closed, and the moonlight shining on him. She then quietly made her way over to the sofa that wasn't occupied in the room, and settled herself down there, elbows on her knees and she rested her head on her hands then.
"Please tell me why
Please tell me why
I'm still lovin' you in my heart
Isso keshi saritai kioku ga in my heart
Please tell me why
Please tell me why
I'm still lovin' you in my heart
Tashikana ashita yurari kieta in my heart baby...
It's only love I wanna be with you…"
And then Shu stopped playing as the song came to an end. [name] then smiled at him cutely, as he made his way over to where she was seated.
"You still remember that song huh? It really brings back memo-." And [name] stopped as she realised how close Shu was to her, and he had pushed her down onto the sofa; resting on her back. His arms on either side of her head as he leaned his face closer to hers. Blood immediately rushed towards [name]'s cheek and her face turned beet red. Her heartbeat sped up, and she couldn't help but breathe heavily.
"S-S-Shu?" [name] called out as she placed her hands against his chest.
"[name]…" Shu mumbled out, and then he closed the distance between them. Pressing his cold lips against hers, planting a soft kiss on them. [name]'s eyes widened in surprise at Shu's action, and she gripped tightly onto his shirt. When Shu broke the kiss, he swore that [name] looked so darn cute when she was all flustered and red.
"W-What was that for?!" [name] ask-yelled.
"I like – No, I love you. And I can't stand it when I'm not the one touching you, and the others are able to hug and kiss your cheeks or forehead. I hate that." Shu spoke out, and [name] could only gape in surprise.
"And now, you're mine." Shu whispered into her ear as he placed a kiss on her forehead, before settling himself directly on top of her, wrapping his arms around her waist, and his head against her chest; closing his eyes.
"Possessive perverted sadistic vampire. Yet clingy, and jealous as heaven when it comes to love." [name] mumbled with a soft smile on her face as she played with Shu's hair.
"I love you too."
