I know I mentioned this already but I do not own Letter Bee. I only own my OC's. Oh and this fanfic is not based on the events in the manga so… some things might be different.
I took a bite and it was amazing. I never want to stop eating her cooking! Zazie is missing out on such wonderful things. I should set the two up.
'They will never get bored with each other.' I thought as I munched on my breakfast.
Zazie's POV
I woke up remembering last night. I can't believe I didn't do anything to complain but I know that if I did, things will go wrong. I'm sure of it. I sat on the couch and took my time in putting on my scarf, hat, jacket and boots. I won't leave just yet. I might get the opportunity to do something to embarrass her or find a horrible secret. I might.
I walked downstairs where I spotted Lag eating in the dining room. He stopped when he saw me walking towards him.
"Where's Nathalia?"
"She… now that you mention it… I don't know… she was here a minute ago."
I am looking around the house and there was no sign of her… strange. I and Lag were going to the last room we didn't inspect when we heard a strange noise. Something was being dragged, something heavy. I walked towards the door and asked Lag to join me but he shook his head, I guess the last time I asked him to go inside an unknown door had a strange effect on him. I tried my best not to make any sound and I pray to the Empress that whatever is behind the door won't hurt me or worse, won't be Nathalia. I opened it and the noise stopped and so did my heart. I can already hear the silent death threats from behind the door or at least my mind. I guess my silent prayers to the Empress weren't heard or were ignored. Well… no use stopping now. I slowly opened it and looked inside. It was strange… I know that this house has a lot of rooms but I didn't know a room like this existed. It was decorated with very very large pet bed, squeaky toys, a wooden bird play stand, an ordinary play stand, food and water bowls and other accessories. I walked in further and other than the fact that it was weird nothing was off. There were no other doors and one window, whatever was inside, it didn't escape.
I was about to leave when I heard something move. I turned to my right and saw a strange creature. It was probably 4 feet in length. It was covered in scales and it was just staring at me. I quickly ran back downstairs to where Lag went and told him what happened.
"What does it look like?"
I described it and Lag tried to listen to the best he could.
"He's a Giant Pangolin."
"****!" I accidentally screamed when Nathalia was actually beside me. I didn't notice she was here. How the hell did she sneak up on us like that?!
"Zazie, there is no need to curse you know." She said.
"How the hell can you be so casual about shocking a person? I mean… I actually felt my soul leave me for a minute because I was scared."
"Technically this is my house… I can pop up anywhere I like. Besides I always do it to my brother. I always give him mini heart attacks."
"You have a brother?" Lag asked her. Personally, I wasn't interested in this topic. I wanna know more about the thing in the room a while ago.
"Well, we… adopted each other, I guess. He's not my brother by blood but we were always together back then and I guess we got used to being a sibling to each other… and well… we officially call each other as brother and sister. That's it and now we live with each other also with our dingoes."
"So… the giant pangolin belongs to him? And why does he need a dingo?"
"Well he's an express bee…"
Nathalia's POV
"Well he's an express bee…" after I said the word bee apparently Zazie began choking, violently, very violently. Lag got up and helped Zazie and I just watched, this is entertaining, where have they been all my life? I'm so bored usually but these guys are the perfect idiots to make me happy.
"You! First you have a gaichuu killing job then now you're 'brother' is an express bee? Are you *******kidding me? "
I expected his outburst. I am trying my best not to laugh at his reaction because Zazie's angry face is funny and cute… did I just say cute…? Crap!... no, no, no.
"Well….care to explain already?"
I sighed and took a sip of my tea. "My brother became an express bee before I became a hunter. That's all to it. Oh, and the pangolin is not his dingo, it's mine."
I can tell that they are a little shocked but hey, who wouldn't? I mean… a hunter and an express bee. That's amazing but to top it off, we're siblings.
"Wait, I thought Cleora was your dingo…"
"A job of a hunter is easily 5x harder than a Letter Bee's job, for that the dingo must be in top condition. I need Cleora for hard and long jobs while I take Machi for short and easy ones. Since I do that, both of them will have enough rest to perform their best."
Zazie raised his eye brows while Lag listened patiently. Good Lag.
"uhm… Nathalia, what is your brother's name and how old is he?"
"Well Lag he is Maximus Wolfstein and he is 17…"
"Nathalia…one last question….how old are you?"
I felt embarrassed for a second. I have no idea why that question bugged me but I have to answer it.
"I'm… 15"
There was a loud bang on the table and Zazie was standing up.
"Ha! I'm older which means you have to show respect!"
"You are older in age but not in the mind." I replied simply while he just sat down quietly mumbling curses.
"How about all of us head to the Hive now?" I said. It's time to start the day.
