Chapter 21: Ice Cream for the Heart

I soon finished my shower, coming out in only a green towel, towel drying my hair with a fluffy white towel.

Ludwig looked out the door and leaned against it, sizing her up with a loving playful grin, "You are too damn sexy for your own good, you know that?" He said.

I rolled my eyes. "So I've been told." I went to my dresser to get out a pair of underwear. "You mind leaving so I can get changed?" I asked smirking.

Ludwig rolled his eyes, "Like I haven't seen you naked." He grinned and slapped her towel clad ass lightly, with a grin before leaving.

I blushed and giggled lightly before getting changed into a pair of nude underwear and one of Ludwig's shirts that acted like a dress on me. I soon came down stairs, sitting on Ludwig as I watched Ryah dance, tempted to smack that ass.

Ryah's bikini bottom was sliding as she put in more effort than needed to execute the moves for the dances. A decent amount of her perfectly round tight ass showed off from the top of the rim of the bikini bottom. Little did she know that some of the others was watching her more as her bikini top was also sliding off.

"U-uh Ryah..." I said softly, covering Ludwig's eyes with my hand.

"N-Not now...Almost...done." Ryah said not realizing that the more she moved the more her damp garments were falling off. At the last move, more than half of her ass and front was showing, her crotch was just barely hidden, and the pink taut cold nubs were like a pair of suns peeking above the hills that were the fabric mounds that were the flaps that were supposed to be hiding them. "Now what?" Ryah panted as she looked at Elizabeth.

"R-Ryah... you're bikini..." I said softly, still covering Ludwig's eyes.

Ryah looked down at herself and squeaked with embarrassing appearance. Gil took off his shirt feeling the most guilty since he was the first to notice, and even though all had been forgiven more or less, he still felt responsible for her since he was just as deeply in love with her as she was in for him. He stripped off his shirt and put it on her. Ryah blushed at Gil's shapely torso and looked down at her feet, "T-Thanks Gil." "No problem." He said as he rubbed her arm while hugging her to his side.

I sighed lightly, un-covering Ludwig's eyes. "I think it's time for bed."

Everyone else nodded in agreement, Ryah groaned, "My legs are too tired to walk up the stairs." Gil smirked and scooped her up, "Here kazchen, I'll take you up." Ryah blushed deeply and wrapped her arms around his neck, "Thanks Gil." He nodded, "Jah, your velcome." He said. Ryah leaned her head against his neck and was asleep before they even reached the stairs. "Sometimes she reminds me of Gil." Ludwig said lightly to Elizabeth. "Vhen ve vere younger our Dad vas almost alvays busy vith Roman, doing business, and I usually was the one taking care of Gilbert...he vas just the type vho vas alvays looking for a fight and he vas alvays like a child. He vas never responsible, and now here he is being me, while she is Gil." He said lightly so the silver haired young man didn't hear him.

"You gunna carry me too?" I asked with a smirk.

Ludwig grinned and swept her up like a princess, "Of course mein engel." He whispered into her hair.

I smiled and kissed his cheek, yawning.

He kissed her lightly on the forehead, lips and then neck before returning to her lips again as he laid her down on her bed. Him, curling up beside her. Ryah was tucked into Gilbert's arms and the other boys too were fast asleep on the floor, save for Scotty who was now in his own room.

I kissed him back, cuddling into him as I fell asleep.

The following morning, everyone slept in since it had been such an exhausting day before, and today was December 28th.

I groaned, sitting up from my spot next to ludwig. "what time is it?"

Ludwig blinked and groggily sat up and looked at his watch, "1:15." He groaned rubbing his face with his hands, "Damn ve slept in late."

I nodded, putting my arms around his waist and attempting to pull him back down. "to lazy, sleep is good."

Ludwig chuckled, and relented and pulled her in closer than before. "Alright, maybe another hour." He said lightly. Ryah stretched and got up, and snuck downstairs and then played the practiced boxing and then flute and then went to take a shower.

I smirked, snuggling to him. I woke up an hour later and snuck downstairs to cook breakfast, still in nothing but Ludwig's t-shirt. I cooked eggs and bacons, sausages and toast, waffles and pancakes.

The boys soon followed having the smelt the mouthwatering aroma of the food cooking on the floor below. They piled around the table, and Ryah then came down stairs in a very revealing off the shoulder long sleeve that showed off her a very pleasing amount of cleavage and the bottom came down to where it was just short of showing off her black panty clad crotch. She wore thigh length leather boots, and wore a black choker with spike studs and she also had on her red beret and her 'best' necklace hanging below her choker. She had her makeup done up in a way that was seductive and yet it screamed 'badass'. Feli giggled cutely, "Ryah's on her period." Everyone turned to him, "How would you know that?" Lovino asked. Feli said with a big smile.

"In November when she was on, she wore extra slutty bitch clothes to ward off guys. She's doing it again." Ryah blushed but didn't say anything as she was caught red handed. She sniffed with arrogance and piled her plate with meats and grabbed a glass of orange juice and threw a waffle at Feli when he whispered to his brother, "And all she really eats is meats when she's on."

"Feli! That's rude to say that." I pouted, petting Ryah's hair lovingly. "Good thing you can never tell when I'm on mine though." I smirked triumphantly.

"That's because you're always too damn sweet or feisty whenever the hell you wanna be." Ryah snickered as she leaned into Elizabeth's hand loving her hair being played with.

I shrugged modestly. "Oh please." I kissed the top of her head before sitting next to her, munching on a sausage.

Ryah devoured her meat, and ate until she thought she was going to puke, "Hmmm...That was good." She said patting her stomach contentedly. "We should get the decorations down, and then set up for New Years, since it's coming up in a few days." Francis said.

"yeah." I nodded. "I'll start cleaning the kitchen when ya'll are done and ya'll can start putting things away."

The others nodded and when everyone had finished they started putting things away. Everyone was going back and forth everywhere and Ryah was holding onto stockings with one hand and a box of indestructible ornaments with the other when she bumped into Gilbert, accidentally, and coincidentally under the mistletoe, she tried to squeeze past him but he grinned and pulled her back and kissed her again, and for split second the flare was there again, but she pushed away, "Gil, I'm dating. Stop." "That didn't matter before." He countered. "Yeah, before. But now it's gone." She snapped lightly. "So you vouldn't go out vith me even if you dumped him?" He questioned. "No." Ryah said, not wanting to say much else. "Even if you don't love him and you love me?" Gilbert pressed. Ryah closed her eyes and kissed Gilbert deeply and then pulled back and slapped him, "There, we dated, we broke up." Ryah snapped, a fire flaming in her eyes." But before she could turned to leave again he pulled her back one last time, "Ryah...I vill make it up to you, somehow, and eventually I vill vin you over. You know there's something betveen us that screams for us to be together." "When you do Gil, that'll be the day I say 'I do', to someone who will love me more than life itself, and he won't be the type to care about a girl who broke him...hell if it happens, it might even be a 'she'." Ryah snapped lightly and left.

I watched the whole ordeal and proceeded to stand next to gil, smacking him upside the head. "You really need to think about her feelings before you act." I said, looking up at him with concerned eyes.

Gil huffed and whined, "Damn it! Vhy is it harder to talk to her than it is vith you!"

"Because I'm like you're sister and I'm dating your brother." I smiled lightly, reaching up to grab the mistletoe, kissing his cheek. "You just need to try harder."

Gilbert sighed and kissed her cheek, "Thanks Ellie." He said and ran a hand through his hair and continued his work.

I smiled and went to put it up.

Ryah finished up her work and then asked, "When does school start back up again? The second? Third? I can never remember."

"The forth I believe." I said, trying to go into my mental clock.

"Oh, okay, thanks." Ryah said and sighed as she flopped on the couch. She looked at her watch, "I can't believe it's already almost four...we should do something before the sun goes away. Is there a park nearby?" Ryah asked, as the others began to find a seat in the living room again.

"Actually yeah." I said, remembering there was a park only a few blocks away. "They have ice-cream there too."

"Mmm! Sounds great!" Ryah said, "I wanna go!" "Jah, I haven't been to a park since I vas a kid." Gil said with interest. "Vhen vas that, five seconds ago?" Ludwig teased. Everyone laughed and Gil gave a snide smile, "Hardy, har, har, you're a riot." "Well what are we waiting for ve~! Let's go!" Feli exclaimed. "Oui it is a beautiful day out to go to the park." Francis agreed. "I'll go make some sandwiches for our lupper." Lovino said with a chuckle. "I'll stay here and catch up on some peace and quiet." Scotty said.

Sinful Deviant: nodding I stood up, stretching. "I need to go change real quick." I said with a smile, running up to the room, throwing on a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and a white tank-top under Ludwig's grey shirt, tying it in the back to keep it form fitting. I also got a pair of grey flats and ran down stairs with my wallet in hand. "Alright let's go."

Everyone headed out and when they had reached there the first thing Gil did was tap Elizabeth with a childish gleam in his eyes, "Tag! You're it!" He said and laughed. Everyone chuckled and began to disperse.

I groaned with a smile, running after Gil for a minute before changing directions and going after Lovino, easily tackling him to the ground. "Tag!"

Lovino tagged Feli and then after a few minutes he tagged Francis who tagged Gil, and he jumped Ryah and they fumbled on the ground and he landed on her and kissed her and said, "Tag." Then took off at a full sprint. Ryah rolled her eyes with a light grin then used her lightning speed short distance sprint to tag Ludwig and ran off. Ludwig grinned and then chased after Elizabeth, and grabbed her up and kissed her cheek, "Tag." He said then quickly let her down and ran off. "We're so cool!" Ryah shouted, "Teenagers playing 'tag'!" She always was random when she was full of excitement.

I grinned and giggled, smacking Ryah's ass. "Tag!" soon everyone had gotten tired. I laid against the cool grass, staring at the sky. "I feel like ice-cream."

Ryah nodded, "Mmm! same here." They all headed to where the ice cream was. Francis grabbed French Vanilla, Lovino grabbed cherry chunk, Feli grabbed strawberry, and Gilbert got bubblegum and bought Ryah peppermint, knowing it was her favorite. Ludwig grabbed chocolate and fudge brownie. "Vhat do you vant?" Ludwig asked Elizabeth.

"Mmm, strawberry cheesecake!" I said excitedly.

Ludwig nodded and purchased her exactly what she wanted, and held up her ice cream out of reach, "Kiss first." He teased.

I pouted cutely and gave him a sweet kiss on the lips. "There, now gimme!" I ordered.

Ludwig handed it to you and grinned, "There you go mein engel." Ryah sat on a swing and swung lightly as she licked up the peppermint eyeing the bubblegum, because she also loved that flavor. Gil feeling a little dirty used his finger to swipe up a nice amount of his ice cream up and held it out to her. Ryah looked away arrogantly, with a bright crimson blush covering her cheeks. The nerve of him! But then again...she really wanted a taste. "Can't I just have it off the cone?

Gil shook his head grinning. "You're an ass." Ryah said. "I know, now make a choice before it starts dripping." "I hate you." Ryah said, but steadied his finger and sucked it off, tasting her peppermint and his own nice fleshy taste. She pulled back and looked away, "Thanks." "May I?" Gilbert said looking at your peppermint ice cream. "Sure." You said not feeling up to playing dirty with him. Gilbert leaned over and then pushed your hand to your face making a nice big splotch of peppermint ice cream on your chin. He grinned and sucked it up. "You're such a tease." Ryah said then forced a layer of his bubblegum on his cheek and she did a solid lick that cleaned it clean off. "Oh you're so you're playing now." Gil said. "Yeah I think I'm getting a hold of the game." Ryah grinned. Gil then grabbed her peppermint and smothered it over his lips. "You vant you're ice cream back, lick it off." Ryah huffed and then grinned as she licked up the ice cream that covered his lips and then stole his bubblegum and painted it on her neck. "I dare you." She said haughtily. "Don't mind if I do." He said and then handed her, her ice cream so she couldn't do anything, as he sucked her sweet ice cream up and then her flesh. Her first instinct was to put her hands in his hair and make him take more of her neck, but all she could do was arch her neck into his mouth. He moaned as he was given this opportunity and then she moaned as he bit into her skin lightly. She then pulled back and then handed him his ice cream back, both of theirs was half gone already, and then she dipped her finger into his and presented it to him, "Suck." She grinned with a dirty smile. He sucked it deeply taking the sweetness of it all and the ice cream. Feli sighed as he looked at Elizabeth, "I don't understand them." Ludwig laughed, "There are a lot of mysteries behind love, and this is only one."

I smirked and nodded, "Yup."

Ludwig smiled and then tapped her with his ice cream and licked the chocolate off her cheek with a grin, and a light warm laugh.

I rolled my eyes, and licked my ice cream, sticking out my ice cream covered tongue at him.

Ludwig attacked her mouth and suckled her tongue until he swallowed the sweetness off her tongue and smirked with eyes that screamed with triumph. Then he kissed the tip of her nose.

Giggling I soon finished my ice cream along with everyone else, "Come on you two love birds, its time to go!" I said pointedly at Gil and Ryah as the sky slowly darkened.

Ryah pouted, and then looked up at the dying sunset and the few stars that were coming out, "We'll be there soon ks?" Ryah called out, "I wanna stay here a bit longer." She said. Gilbert smiled when she said 'we', maybe getting her to fall in love with him all over again won't be as hard as he thought. When they others reluctantly left, he pushed her on the swing, listening to her joyful laughter. Then as they walked home, Gil said, "Can ve start over?" "What do you mean?" Ryah asked. "Can ve go back to vhere ve kind of begun? Vhere you and I vould attack each other's throats but ve vere falling in love vith each other anyvays?" He asked. "Gil, we can't-," Gilbert pulled her into a demanding kiss and squeezed her ass, "You asshole!" Ryah glared, and then after seeing Gil smile broaden, she realized they were back where they were. He had made his wish come true, "You dirty two-bit piece of shit." Ryah said and pulled at the collar, and pulled him down for her own punishing kiss. "I'm going out already, why do you have to do this?" "Because you and I both know there's going to be a spark between us again. Because ve vill soon love each other, and I don't vant to redo this vith the mistake I made. And most of all, because I know you love it vhen i play dirty vith you."

I paced about the room wondering what exactly Gil and Ryah were doing.
