It was currently the middle of the night at Night Raid's hideout, and everyone was asleep. Lubbock was fast asleep in his bed, wearing only a T-shirt and shorts. He heard a strange noise, causing his one visible vibrant green eye to open. He sat up and rubbed said eye as he yawned.
"Sounds like a hungry Danger Beast…" stated Lubbock as his stomach loudly complained.
The teenage male got the message that he needed to eat, so he got out of his comfy bed and traveled to the kitchen. He looked in the fridge as he scratched one of his sides. To be honest, there wasn't anything that looked appetizing. A lot of the food was leftover Danger Beast meat Akame was saving.
A sneaky smile appeared on Lubbock's face as he reached into his pocket, pulling out a big, delicious chocolate bar. He giggled mischievously, moments before he ate a couple bites. However, unknown to him, Najenda, who was wearing a black tank top that exposed her toned stomach and shorts, came out into the kitchen and approached him. Seeing as the younger male was distracted, the older female began to speak.
"Lub, what are you doing?" she asked, causing Lubbock's eye to widen and causing him to nearly choke.
"N-Najenda!" exclaimed Lubbock, quickly trying to hide his half-eaten snack behind his back. "W-What are you doing up so late?"
"I just needed to get a glass of water." stated Najenda who reached behind Lubbock and successfully took his candy bar.
"Let me guess, you needed a midnight snack?" asked the silver-haired beauty.
The green-haired male nodded.
"I don't think chocolate will be good for you when you go back to bed. You'll probably get a stomachache, plus you'll possibly have nightmares." said Najenda simply. "I'll hold on to this for you until tomorrow, okay? Get some sleep."
Najenda opened the fridge and got her glass of water and went back to her own bedroom, while also saving Lubbock's unfinished chocolate bar. The younger male held his chest as his cheeks turned a rosy pink. He immediately ran back to his bedroom and closed the door behind him.
"Najenda noticed me!" he exclaimed with a goofy, but happy smile in a singing voice. "Notice notice notice, notice noootice notice notice, Najenda noticed MEEEEEEE!"
After he sang a super high and sour, off-pitch note, Mine slammed the door open, startling him. Her mouth was in a squiggly frown and her big pink eyes were filled with a furious gaze. Mine growled like an angry cat.
"CAN'T YOU LOWER THE VOLUME?! I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!" yelled Mine angrily, moments before slamming the door.
Lubbock sighed exhaustedly as Mine had given him a heart attack. He crawled back into his soft bed and covered himself with his blanket.
"I can sing about Najenda at the top of my lungs if I want to, rude bitch…" said the teenage male as he closed his one eye, eventually falling asleep.
Several minutes later, Lubbock woke up, lunged upward in his bed so that he was sitting, and screamed with wide eyes. He panted, his shoulders heaving from panting so hard. His face was frozen with fear and his neon green eyes were wide. He examined his surroundings and noticed that he was still in his bedroom.
"A dream?" he asked quietly.
His stomach felt queasy and nauseous, possibly from the chocolate bar he had eaten earlier.
There was a sudden knock on his bedroom door, causing him to jump.
"Lub, are you okay?" the voice on the other side asked. It was Najenda's voice. "Can I come in?"
"Y-Yeah…" said Lubbock as he sat up, straightening his back in attention.
Najenda came into the room looking worried. Lubbock had never seen her so concerned about him before. The lavender-eyed female shut the door behind her and sat on the edge of Lub's bed. The younger male's cheeks turned pink again.
"I heard you scream… I'm guessing you had a nightmare?" asked Najenda quietly and politely.
Lubbock looked downwards at his blanket-covered legs. "Well… Yeah. I guess you were right about chocolate before bed… My belly feels kinda funky…"
"Do you want me to stay here and sleep with you for the night?" asked Najenda with a gentle smile.
Lubbock gasped loudly as his heart almost exploded. His bottom lip quivered, and his eyes became huge in excitement. He tried to talk, but he kept stuttering. Najenda's soft, white lips slowly spread into a suggestive smile.
"Y-You-I-Really-I-I-?!" was all the male with the green curtain that covered one eye could say as Najenda leaned closer to him, her lips pressing against the shell of his ear.
"It's okay." whispered the older female, her voice low and flirty. She then blew warm air into his ear.
"WHOA!" cried Lubbock as he shivered, his body slightly scooting away from the woman he loved. The female with the silver hair laid down next to Lubbock, her one prosthetic arm embracing his thin, but slightly muscular back and she put her other, normal hand on his chest. Lubbock felt numb from all the excitement.
"I love you, Lubbock." said Najenda simply as she put her head on his shoulder.
"WHA-I-?" Lubbock squeaked. When did she start paying attention to him all the sudden? Normally, Lubbock was the butt of everyone's jokes. Leone and Mine would usually scold him or beat him up for being perverted, and he never got a congratulations from Najenda. Maybe from Tatsumi or Bulat, but they're men! The worse part was that one time, Night Raid dressed him up as a woman to attract a huge Danger Beast that Akame was going to eat. The huge, enormous monster was interested in Lubbock's girly disguise, and thought he was an actual girl, so the monster played with the poor green-haired male.
One tentacle of the Danger Beast even got in between Lubbock's fake breasts, embarrassing him greatly. If it were Leone, then that would have been a different story. But nope! It had to be poor little Lub! And the blonde-haired female was laughing hysterically at the situation he was in! But why now? Why was Najenda interested in him all the sudden? Oh well… Maybe she secretly loved him all this time? Who knows! All that mattered was that Lubbock finally got the girl of his dreams.
Lubbock swallowed a lump of spit that was in his throat, moments before smiling warmly, tenderly, and lovingly. His one eye closed as he rested his chin on Najenda's head.
"I love you too, Najenda." said Lubbock sweetly.
The two kissed each other softly on the lips, moments before they went to bed.
