A yawn escaped Qedus's mouth as she slowly woke up from her deep sleep. She kicked out her legs and stretched out her arms, Stopping when she felt Gladiolus's skin touch hers. He lay asleep beside her now only in his boxers, A book lay opened on his chest.

She was happy he had stayed the night, She could feel herself more and more falling for him. That's when it all set in, Lark she needed to find him. She jumped off her bed quickly dressing feeling ashamed of herself. How could she almost have sex with Gladiolus while her brother was out there a total wreck.

As she began to leave she took one more look at Gladiolus laying perfectly in her bed. All hers, If she wanted him right now she knew she could have him. With those conflicting thoughts she opened the door surprised to see Prompto standing there his hand raised almost about to knock on the door. "Prompto hey!" She said trying to hide the behemoth sleeping in her bed but it was not that easy.

Prompto's face dropped as his cheeks turned a bright rose color. His hand reached up nervously scratching at the back of the neck. "H-Hello…" he stuttered.

"Prompto…I…there is nothing happening here…" Qedus said closing the door behind her, The space between them now at arm length. "Me and Gladio are just friends…Prompto please don't say anything."

"I won't...but…" Prompto suddenly seemed very upset as he looked down as if something on the ground had his attention.

Qedus placed her hand on his shoulder, "Is everything okay?" She asked.

"Yeah…we kind of figured he was here.. but that's not why I'm here…" Prompto said biting his lip, It was clear something was wrong.

"Prompto…are you okay?" Asked Qedus again this time more firmly.

"Yeah I just feel a little off…thats all." Said Prompto his eyes still avoiding her eyes. Even though he was consistent with denying anything was wrong. Finally his eyes looked up at hers, His eyes now looked a little red as if he was about to cry.

"Heh…" He chuckled sadly, "Your eyes Qedus…I don't know why you hid them…their beautiful…" said Prompto as he frowned.

Qedus immedately pulled him into a hug, His hands first flew up freezing as if he had just been shocked then slowly his hands wrapped around her waist. She chuckled as she ran her fingers through his mess of blond hair, "I love you Prom…okay…I don't know what's wrong but thank you for what you just said."

"A-Any time…" He whispered softly, She pulled away her body still against his. "I wanted to help you look for Lark before we head to Altissia…" said Prompto smiling sadly.

"Oh thank you! Sure! I'd love help!" She said letting go. A few minutes past and Qedus had got a call from Cor, Lark was at Galdin Quay.

From afar they both saw Lark sitting on the Fishing Pier, A Jetty in one of his hands. Cautiously they both approached him, Lark's legs swung from the side of the pier. His eyes looked up as he heard their footsteps, Prompto held his hand up showing they were friendly. "Qedus…Prompto…whats up?" He asked nonchalantly.

"That's all you have to say?!" Qedus said in disbelief.

"Yeah it is…" said Lark with barely any emotion.

"How could you just run off like that?! I was worried!" Yelled Qedus holing back tears.

"I needed time…you don't understand how it feels…" mumbled Lark a single tear going down his cheek.

"Fuck you!" She screamed as she grabbed him by the collar of his jacket. Her eyes burned into his as she shook him hard enough for him to drop his Jetty in the water. "He was my brother to!!!" She cried so loud that fellow beach goers turned their attention to her.

Lark grabbed her hands and his expression changed, "Your eyes..." He mumbled again.

She shoved him away, "They know…I'm not hiding anymore…"

Lark looked down a sad smile crossing his face, "Leenox…he would be in shambles right now…he was always so protective.…" Lark said his voice breaking as he stood. Her heart dropped seeing her brother the way he was now. His eyes were so puffy and red he looked like he hadn't slept for years. Their brothers blood was still soaked into his fingers and parts of his clothes.

Qedus sobbed into response of his words, He was right Lennox was the one who bought her the contacts. The day he found out she wanted to show her eyes and take off the goggles he purchased them for her. "I want to hurt them like they hurt me…I want to kill them all." He said his eyes focused on the daggers strapped to his sides.

Her fingers latched onto the side of his damp cheeks, She pressed her a kiss to Lark's chin. "You do what you must...Lennox couldn't stop you…I know I can't..." She let him go. "Please keep in touch…but please get some rest…"

Lark nodded as he turned away getting onto his knees, Fishing out the Jetty from the water. Relunctaly she turned to Prompto, She walked past him and looked up to see Cor watching them. "Cor…"

"Hello Qedus and Prompto." Said Cor.

"How did you find him?" Asked Prompto.

"He called me." Repiled Cor.

"But he couldn't answer his own sister?" Asked Qedus offended.

"He blames himself Qedus, We both know Lark isn't good with handling stress." Said Cor, He looked over to Prompto. "He is always trying to be happy, He's always looking on the bright side. He is well was…confident in his abilities…now because of this he's unsure."

"He acts like he's the only one hurting! It's not fair Cor! He was my brother to! Yet he sits there and says I don't understand!" She screamed.

"You don't." Cor said in his usual calm tone as he looked towards Lark from afar, As he chugged his Jetty.

"Wow…how the hell would you know!" She snapped at Cor.

"He was his twin." Cor said. She groaned looking away as she crossed her arms, She swallowed hard. The infamous temper of hers beating her into submission.

"What do I do?" She asked now facing him, Her nostrils flared as tears streamed down her porcelain cheeks.

"I don't understand your question." He said his eyebrows knitted together.

"Leenox was our foundation…he kept us grounded…" she said sobbing as she glanced over to Prompto. "What the hell am I supposed to do?!"

"Live, Be happy it's what Leenox would have wanted. Leenox did everything he did for you two...after your father died he took his place." He got closer passing them both and staring at Lark who sat in the distance. "That's all you can really do…"
