Love is Blind
Chapter 11
Altera x Seigheart weekend
Normal P.O.V, Saturday Morning
A morning sun rises after a rainy and stormy night. The sun shines brightly, waking up people of the world so that they can enjoy there weekends properly. We focus mainly on two houses. One, an abandoned mansion. The other, a slightly rundown two story house. Both holding a family that have something in common. A loving sister who just loves waking them up.
Elsword Seighheart has his sister Elesis. Eve Altera and her baby sister Apple. Two wonderful sisters who love there siblings so much, trying to wake them on a glorious Saturday! Are they successful?
First house! Altera's Normal P.O.V
"Big sister! Come on! You promised we would have fun today!" Whined Apple as she shook her sister to death as she laid in bed. Yet, it was no use, Eve was out like a light. Apple sighed as she hopped of her sister and glared at her.
"Why are you so stubborn to wake-up? Geez..."She scoffed while Eve rolled over and sank her head into her pillow. This happened every Saturday, every weekend actually. It's just always a task when it comes to waking the queen of sleep up on a Saturday morning, or any morning for that matter...
The pink haired girl sighed in defeat. "Fine! I'm goanna start my morning walking while you sleep here! Don't miss me!" She screamed and ran down stairs. She greeted Ophelia and Oberon and walked out the door. Ophelia told her to take an umbrella as she left.
Second house! Seigheart's
"Bro! Get up!" Screamed Elesis as she raises her foot stomping away at Elsword's un-moving body that laid in his bed. He moans and rolls over. She grew more angry and started stomping him harder.
"Hey!" Yet, he wouldn't budge. She sighed and walked out.
"Fine, be that way. When I come back you better be ready!" She yelled and left out of the house. Sure, this is your typical Saturday for the Seigheart's. Yet, it always bugs Elesis to how much it takes just to wake that hothead up. She makes her way toward the shop, opening it up early as usual, yet today felt really off as the wind blew around on such a sunny day...
And so...
Elesis stands at the traffic corner, waiting for the light to change along with a bunch of other people. One girl in particular had an umbrella up as she stands next to it as well. As the cars go by, the wind starts to pick up even heavier than it already is. The girls umbrella blows away into the street. She gasps and without thinking, runs into the road.
The crowed gasps as well as the light had still not changed and a running car was heading her way.
"Hey! Look out!" Yelled one person. As she grabbed the umbrella, she looked up and froze. Like a deer would do as it freezes upon seeing headlights. Elesis ran out in the streets and grabbed the girl, pushing her out of the street just in time. As soon as the light changed, the people on the other side rushed over to check on them.
"Are they alright?" Questioned one person.
"Should someone call an ambulance or something?" Questioned another. The questions and mumbles continued as Elesis slowly sat up with the girl looking at her in bewilderment.
"Are you ok?" Elesis asked.
"I, I think so..." She said with slight shakiness in her voice. Elesis slowly stood up while taking the girl up with her. The people slowly walked away as they saw that they both were ok.
"What were you thinking? You could've been killed!" Lectured Elesis to the young girl. She had a face of anger until she realized that the girl looked familiar. "Eve, is that you?" The girl looked at her in surprise.
"Eve? Do, you know my sister?"
"What? No way! Eve has a mini twin?" Said the crimson haired lady with a grin. Upon instinct, Apple bowed and smiled.
"My name is Apple Altera. I assume your a friend of my sister Eve Altera?"
"Yeah, I know her. She and my brother go out right?" After Elesis said those words, Apple's eyes started to sparkle.
"Go out?" She says in confusion. Elesis smiles and throws an arm around her shoulder.
"I see, she's keeping you in the dark too. Apple, walk with me, talk with me."
And so, the two sisters chatted as they cruised down the sidewalk. Soon, making a plan for the day involving their siblings.
Eve's P.O.V
I yawn as I sit-up and stretch from my bed. I glance at the clock on my bedside. Only 12:01pm? Strange, I'm usually sleep at least until 3pm. Something feels off today. I slightly shiver as I hop out of bed and head to the bathroom. After the usual routine of washing up, I hop into denium shorts and a striped yellow and pink t-shirt.
I brush my hair as I walk down stairs towards the kitchen. Strangely enough, I was in shock to see Apple smiling widely at me while Ophelia cleaned and Oberon sets up breakfast for me as usual.
"Uh, morning Apple..." I say lowly. Usually she always has an angry face on her, upset about me wasting my Saturday mornings of sleeping in. Yet, today, nothing but a sun-shiny smile.
"Morning big sister~!" She chimed. Oh, was it scary. I slowly sit down and began digging into the plate of eggs and bacon. She slowly sits down across from me, still having that smile plastered on her face. Do I dare to question? "So, Eve. I have a surprise for you when your done eating." She said. Surprise? I only stare at her in confusion.
After I was done, I got up and was grabbed by Apple. She led me towards the door as we walked outside together, hand in hand.
"Apple, what are you planning? Shouldn't we wait for Oberon and Ophelia or something?"
"Nope, it's just you and me! For now..." She mumbled the other sentence and I couldn't understand a word of it. We make our way to the side-walk, heading to who knows where.
Elsword's P.O.V
I hop out of bed, still feeling sore from Elesis and her stupid stomping on my body. God! I moan as I walk to get ready, washing and throwing on a T-shirt and black jeans with my Nike shoes. I walk down stairs, feeling completely hungry! I grab a bowl and serve myself cereal. I look at the wall clock, 12pm something. Yet, no sister in sight. I wonder...
"Elsword~!" Chimed a familiar voice. Walking into the kitchen was my sister. For once, she seemed happy and not ready to smack me across the face for sleeping in as usual! I was kind of skeptical about this...
"Why so cheery?" I asked. She only smiles. "Just finish your breakfast and meet me outside! Were goanna have fun today." With that, she left the kitchen and soon enough I heard the front door shut. I shiver slightly, that's not good. A bad sign for sure...
I finish up and make my way outside.
"Ok, what did I do to..." I was cut off midsentence. Shocked of who stood in-front of me and my sister. I felt my heart skip a beat, yet why did it just know? Shouldn't I be mad or something? Yet, as much as I don't want to admit it, I feel...happy.
Normal P.O.V
Two different families of four stand in front of each other. two of them looked stunned while the other two look as happy as a clam. Eve could only look at Elsword as he could only do the same.
"So, you guys ready to go?" Asked Elesis as she suddenly took her arm around Elsword's.
"You bet~!" Chimed Apple as she did the same by wrapping her entire arm around Eve's. With both of them in lock, they started to walk side by side.
"A-apple wait!"
"Yeah! What are you two doing? Carrying us around like rag dolls!" Screeched Elsword. The two sisters smiled and started to speak. Elesis spoke first.
"Well, we two met today..."
"...And were talking..."
"...And decided that you two don't know how to spend a fun day on a weekend!"
"So today, you both are going to spend time with us whether you like it or not!"
As the two finished explaining, they giggled amongst their selves, leaving Elsword and Eve to moan in sadness. They glanced at each other, realizing they both did the exact same thing and quickly turned away. After a few minutes or so, the group arrive to the park. Tiny souvenir shops were set-up everywhere. There were even adorable mini rides, like bumper cars and dunk tanks, yet no rollercoasters.
"As you can see, the park is having a free-day; meaning everything is free in the park!" Apple said.
"Not to mention a band that's goanna play when the fireworks go off tonight!" Finished Elesis. They finally stop dragging around the two as they look around from the park's entrance. Elesis and Apple faced Eve and Elsword.
"Are you both ready for an awesomely packed day of fun?" Questioned Apple.
"No!" They yelled in unison. Elesis and Apple scoff.
"Don't be babies, now come on!" Upon Elesis saying that, she took Eve by the arm and guided her to the nearest game stand.
"Yeah! Come on Elsword!" Apple yelled as she dragged him away to the bumper cars.
The families had their fun as they played games, ate snacks like cotton candy and did various activities around the park. They were all having so much fun that Elsword and Eve had no choice but to smile and laugh. Eventually the sun started to go down, almost time for the guest band to play and the fireworks to spark in the sky. The four of them decided to sit near the fountain park. It was in the middle of the park, not to far from the park's stage and a perfect view of the fireworks launching.
Elesis sets up the chairs while Apple placed the prizes they won next to her chair.
"Oooh! I can't wait! I wonder who and what the band will play?" Questioned Apple as she excitedly jumped around in her chair.
"Be careful Apple. You'll flop to the floor if you keep jumping like that." Said Elesis as she sat in her chair observing. Apple pouted and started to talk back to Elesis. Eve giggled as she saw how close Elesis and Apple seemed to be.
"They look so adorable together. Like a cozy sister and sister." She said as she smiled at their playful sight. To save the trip, her and Elsword sat behind them on the high water fountain edge. It was like a bench, so it wasn't uncomfortable.
"Yeah, sure. Did you want to trade? I'd take Apple over my sister any day." Said Elsword jokingly. Eve smirked. Elsword smiled.
"Oh! That reminds me, I have to give you back your jacket."
"Don't worry about it, in fact keep it. That gives me an excuse to come over your house anytime I want." He said. Eve punched his arm, making him yell 'Ow' as he rubbed his fake-bruised arm.
"Now I defiantly can't keep it!" She said in a laugh. He gave her a smirk as Apple and Elesis returned with blankets and pillows. Apple handed Eve and Elsword their own as she returned to her seat.
"Elsword, thank you." Eve said. Elsword looked at her.
"For what?"
"For saving me in the ally the other day."
"Yeah, no big deal." He said with a shrug. Eve stared off into the distance. Smiling in a dazed form. Elsword looked and questioned.
"What?"
"Oh? It's nothing, just. When I see Apple having so much fun, I think back about our family and how it used to be."
"Good times, like parents who do nothing but want to get away from you. Even after there disabilities, when they need you. Yet, they would just ignore you when you go to visit them. Or leave you when the other is hospitalized." He sulked into his lawn-chair as he said this with no emotion.
"Is, that what happened to you?" She asked. Elsword sighed and looked another way.
"Yeah. My mom left us after my dad was said to be a vegetable forever. We always visited him in the hospital, yet mom couldn't take it. She left us alone at home ever since we were kids and never came back. Sure, I always get her texts, saying "I'll be home soon" but it's just a lie. A few years later, my dad went up to wherever you go when you die and since then it's been me and her."
There was a moment of silence. A slight atmosphere of darkness.
"Is, that why you pick on others?"
"You could say that. I used to think it was called being stronger," His head sank as he stared at the ground. "Elesis always tells me, "It's ok to cry." but, how could I? Crying is weakness. Dad did it and he gave up, dying while crying. Elesis did it and it took her what felt like an eternity to get back on her feet. Even mom cried slightly after finding out dad was a vegetable."
He slowly stood up and stared at the bright now shining stars.
"Not me though, I promised myself I wouldn't cry. That I would stay strong! No matter what the situation is." He said this with a sigh and sat right back down, totally not sure how to feel. Eve could see it, the look on his face. The face of lost, confusion of life, that's what really happened. She slowly got closer to him, scooting over.
I see now, you never showed your true feeling's because you've locked them away all your life...
She was finally close enough, inches apart, side by side. She placed a hand on his shoulder. He jolted up and looked at her in surprise. Her face had a smile.
"Just know that your not alone. As much as, it feels weird to admit it, your my friend now." She then looked down at Apple and Elesis who were ready to countdown for the fireworks. He stared there way to. "Your apart of my life just like I'm apart of yours now. Sure, life seems to get us down and bad thing's happen, but we have to look past the bad thing's and realize the good things."
Elsword was shocked that she said that. He felt his heart skip a beat, several beats. Confusion, pain, more confusion. His face was red. Suddenly, the park announced the light's going out in the park. The band came out playing, the fireworks shot into the sky and the stars twinkled all in one time. Apple, Elesis and Eve had bright smiles on there faces as the excitement went on. So much excitement that Eve barely noticed that Elsword had his hand on hers the entire time.
=,=.=.=.=..=..=.=.=..=.=..=.=..=..=.=..=.=
As the merriments ended, everyone walked out of the park. Eve yawned while Apple and Elesis talked on and on together.
"So, did you think that was fun?" Asked Elsword to Eve as they walked with ice-cream's in their hands. Eve smiled.
"You know, I actually did have a fun time." That smile of hers' made his face turn red again. He avoided her gaze, looking the other way. Suddenly, Elesis and Apple turned around and had wickedly odd smiles on there faces.
"What?" Asked Eve.
"Well, we two were talking and said-"
"Why would the night have to end? Apple and you have never seen "Frozen." How about a movie night at our house?" Finished Elesis. The two looked at both of them in shock. Apple scurried into Eve's face.
"Please oh please oh please Eve?" Pleaded Apple as she clashed her puppy eyes at her big sister.
"Yeah, it could be a sleep-over." Elesis said.
"But, what about Ophelia and Oberon? We'd have them worried and-"
"Don't worry about it girl. You and Apple's things are packed at my house and they both approved! So long as I'm taking care of you two." Said Elesis with a wink. It suddenly hit Eve. She and Apple were planning this all along! Those little-
"Well big sister, please?" Wined Apple. At this point, it would seem rude. Eve sighed, seeing that she had no choice.
"Alright, only if it's ok with both Elesis and Elsword." The pink haired girl gasped and squealed. She tightly hugged her sister.
"Yayyayayayay~!" She then stopped crushing her sister and jolted her attention to Elsword.
"Your ok with this right Elsword?" Questioned Apple with glee. Yet her smile turned into a confused one when she saw Elsword facing his head down. She wondered what was wrong? She stared hardly and saw that his face had reddened. She slightly giggled and turned around, walking up to Elesis.
"Of course he's ok with it! Now, onward!" She said as she grabbed Apple's hand and they skipped down the street. Eve and Elsword sighed, trying to think of only one thing.
It's for her...It's for her...
=.=.=.=.=.=.=..=. The Seigheart's house=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=
"Elsword, Eve, you two get the movie started. Me and Apple will make the snacks." Commanded Elesis as she and Apple headed to the kitchen. Elsword closed the door and walked over to the television. It was a 6 inch screen with a blue-ray player at the bottom. On the side were a bunch of random DVD's in a pile. Eve stood near the door, not sure if she should still be intruding.
Elsword noticed this, as much as he tried to stay quite, he did want her to be comfortable. Regardless how fast his hearts beating.
"You, can make yourself at home if you like." He said calmly. Yes, Elsword realized that he had to calm down. Or else he would loose his mind, having no idea why.
"Oh." Eve slowly walked over and sat on the couch in the middle of the living room. Once the DVD was placed in the player, he grabbed the remote and sat down on the floor infront of the TV, starting it up. Apple and Elesis walked in with two bowls of popcorn. They both stared as Elsword was on the floor and Eve sat on the couch.
They looked at each other and smiled.
"Elsword~! I wanna sit on the floor in-front of the TV." Apple said in a whiney tone. She flopped right in-front of him and shoved her bowl of popcorn.
"Apple!" Scolded Eve. Elsword played at her game and shoved her back.
"Oh yeah? We'll I'm already sitting here!" He whined back. They continued to shove each other like little kids until Elesis stepped in.
"Elsword! Sit on the couch, now!" She yelled. It sent chills down Elsword's, Apple's and Eve's spines. Though frightened, Elsword sighed and sat-up. He walked over and sat on the couch beside Eve. Elesis smirked and walked over, sitting next to Apple on the floor. Elsword steamed up in confusion.
"That's not fair! Why do you get to sit down there!" He yelled.
"Cause I'm the oldest; deal with it." She said finally and turned her attention to the TV. Apple giggled while Elsword huffed as he pressed play on the remote. Eve started to move over on the couch. Elsword looked at her in confusion.
"Why are you moving?" He asked.
"So you can put the bowl in the middle." She said. He grabbed her arm and pulled her close to his side. She flinched slightly, looking up at him.
"It's ok, I'll just put it on my lap." He said and started to stare in the direction of the TV. Eve felt slightly un-comfortable, yet kind of relaxed at the same time. Trying to take her mind off why she was so close to Elsword, she focused on the movie. 20 minutes into the movie and Elsword pulls out his 3ds, playing kingdom hearts; dream distance. Eve notices this and couldn't help but to look over his shoulder.
"The snow glows white on the mountain tonight, not a footprint to be seen..."
Apple squealed as Elsa the princess began to sing.
"She sounds beautiful..." She said, almost shedding tears. Eve couldn't help but to stare back at the television. Though, she couldn't help but to hear his game sounds. She found herself multitasking back and forth. She suddenly felt slightly dizzy.
"Eve." Said Elsword. She blinked slowly and stared at Elsword. "I'm sure Apple might want to see it again, so you can look over my shoulder if you want." Eve took a moment to think, she looked at Elsword and back at her sister. Realizing her joy over seeing the movie. It finally sunk in, her sister finally got what she wanted, to see that movie instead of her telling it like a bedtime story.
It was a dream of hers that was coming true, like a happy moment to remember. Just in case it may never repeat itself. Feeling happy, she decided to watch it with her. Enjoying a happy moment that may not last forever.
"No thanks, I'll just see the movie." She said with a smile. Elsword, feeling a slight thump of his heart, changed from being bored to placing his 3ds away. He decided to watch the movie as well.
A few minutes or so later...
The movie soon came to an end as the credits started to roll.
"That. Was. BEAUTIFUL!" Screeched Apple as she sat up and clapped so cheerfully. Elesis giggled while Eve couldn't help but smile. Elsword sighed.
"Can we watch it again?" She asked as she looked at all three of them with her adorable puppy eyes. There was no escape to say no.
"Of course Apple." The three of them said in unison.
"Yay~!" With that, she grabbed the TV remote from Elsword's side and started the movie again. Elesis and Eve looked and saw it again with her while Elsword rolled his eyes, this time playing with his game for the second time of the movie. As the movie rolled by, Eve and Apple, found there selves fast asleep. Elesis looked in aww as Apple slept soundly, laying on the floor.
She looked over to Elsword and Eve on the couch. Elsword was droned into his game and didn't even notice that Eve was fast asleep on his shoulder. She sighed. 'You rude idiot.' She thought. The crimson haired woman stood up from the floor while slowly picking up Apple. She turned to Elsword with a glare.
"Elsword." She said. He snapped out of his gaming trans and looked up at her.
"Huh?" She tilted her head toward Eve, who he now noticed was asleep on his shoulder.
"Go on, carry her." Ordered Elesis. Elsword dropped his DS and wrapped his hands around Eve, picked her up bridal style. She motioned him to follow her as they headed upstairs, going to his room. Elsword's room, made of one bedroom, a TV, one gaming system and a sleeping bag, all near a bunch of clothes that sat in a pile. Elesis gagged in disgust.
"God, I wish you would consider cleaning your room." She said as she gently laid Apple on his sleeping bag. Elsword smirked and gently laid Eve on his bed.
"I will! Eventually, someday..." He said. Elesis and Elsword looked at the two sleeping beauties. Realization came to mind.
"I have to sleep on the couch?!"
"Yes little brother."
"But, I have an extra sleeping bag and-"
"Nope. No excuses. Couch."
Not wanting to test the waters with Elesis-who would-grabbed his thinks and changed in the bathroom. Once out, he threw his clothes in a hamper and walked down stairs. He looked back up the stairs, seeing Elesis who still kept a glare on him, making sure he stays. She smiles and heads to her room.
"Good night bro!" *Slam*
He sighed and grumbled as he pulled a blanket on his body while he slept on the couch.
=.=.=.=.==.= An easy Sunday Morning~! =.=.=..=.=.=.=
The pink haired girl named Apple and the crimson haired girl named Elesis, both stretch and yawn as they jump out of there slumbering places. Apple looked around, seeing Eve who was still fast asleep. She decided not to wake her up and grabbed her thing's, heading to the bathroom to wash-up and change into new clothes.
Elesis did the same in her room. Once they both were done they, came out almost bumping into each other.
"Good morning, sister in law!" Chimed Apple. Elesis laughed.
"Good morning, little sister in law." She responded back as she ruffled her flamboyant pink hair. They agreed to cook breakfast together as they headed down-stairs to the kitchen.
"Elsword, get up!" Yelled Elesis as she single-handedly pushed him off the couch with one foot. He rolled over and crashed to the floor.
"Gah, Elesis!" He shouted. She simply smirked and headed back to the kitchen.
"Go wake-up Eve and get ready." She shouted. He grumbled as he dragged his body up-stairs and toward his room. He decided to grab his clothes, get ready, then wake up Eve. Once he grabbed his clothes, he walked into the bathroom, washed, dressed and stretched as he made his way to his room again. He walked over to his bed, about to wake-up Eve.
"Hey, sleeping beauty, wake-up~!" Chimed Elsword in a sarcastic way. Yet, she rolled over and moaned. He sighed and tried yelling again.
"Hey! Wake-up!" He shouted once more. Eve only moaned again, this time rolling on her front. She threw her hand up in the air and mumbled 5 more minutes. Elsword flinched. 'Is she serious!?' He thought. Now irritated, he starts to pull off the blanket from over her, until something caught his attention. The sun that shined through his window beamed on her face.
Eve looked like she was sparkling. He couldn't help but lean over her, pulling his face close to hers...
*WHAM!*
On instinct, Eve's hand flew and punched his face, causing him to lose balance and hit his face to the floor.
"Ow!" Elsword shouted. With anger written on his face, he quickly got up, took her out of the bed, grabbed her clothes and practically threw her in the bathroom.
"Get ready!" He shouted and slammed the door shut, which finally woke-up Eve. She fluttered her eyes open and looked around while stretching.
"Huh, where am I?" She said, yawning. She got out off of the bathroom floor and looked at the mirror. She ran the water in the tub and removed her clothes as she got into the tub. After washing and placing on new clothes, denim jeans and a blue and white striped T-shirt, she walked down-stairs, seeing Elsword and Apple eating at the table while Elesis still cooks.
"Morning Eve~!" Said Apple as she chomped into her breakfast. She was humming to the let it go song. She sat down at their table that was big enough to seat a family.
"Morning." Eve said. She looked Elsword's way but his face slightly turned red and he looked away. Elesis sat with a plate and started eating as well.
"Oh! Oh! What should we all do today?" Said Apple in excitement.
"Hmm, I think we should return you and your sister home. Ophelia and Oberon are probably worried about you two." Elesis said.
"Awww, can we at least see the movie one more time?" Asked Apple.
"Of course!" Said Elesis. Eve nor Elsword couldn't get a word in and didn't dare to after Elesis gave them a glare right after she said that. Apple cheered in joy and quickly ran into the living room, turning on the television to re-play the movie. Elesis giggled and got up from the table, taking hers and Apple's plate to the sink. Elsword and Eve sighed.
"You two." Said Elesis sternly. They quickly stood up and looked at her.
"I want you both to clean the kitchen, understand?" They nodded as she silently left towards the living room. Elsword slowly got up while grumbling and walked over towards the sink.
"Stupid older sister, think's she owns the place..." He said as he started scrubbing the plates. Eve grabbed hers and puts it in the sink. She grabs a scrubber to and starts on the other side of the sink. Elsword looks over, realizing she was right next to him. His heart started beating again.
"U-um, you really don't have to help. You are a guess in my house after all..." He said shaking in his voice.
"Oh, I don't mind helping. Especially after I was asked to." She said. Elsword nodded and they continued to wash dishes. Only laughter of Elesis and Apple could be heard as they washed and scrubbed.
A few hours later
"Let it go, let it go~!" Sang Apple as she spun around in circles on the pavement of the sidewalk. The four found themselves walking towards the Altera Mansion. Of course it wasn't a silent walk as Eve and Elesis sung from ear to ear all the way. Elsword and Eve could do nothing but trail back, trying so hard to zone-out their sibling's.
Eventually, they arrived to the mansion and said their goodbyes.
"I can't wait to see you again Elesis~!" Chimed Apple as she hugged the taller female.
"Aww, same here." She said as she hugged her back. Elsword and Eve stood beside each other and smiled as they saw the happy sight.
"You know," Started Eve. Elsword turned to her as she talked. "I'm not stupid. I can sense this odd tension your giving off. Your still uncomfortable about us being friends, right?"
"Uh, well not necessarily, I mean-"
She placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry, it's awkward for me two. But I love seeing them happy, so lets try to be happy with them." She said with a smile. Elsword could feel his pulse racing and his face heating up all at the same time.
"Hey, you ok? You look kind of red..." Questioned Eve as she began to place a hand on his head. He gasped and gently pushed her away and grabbed his sister by the arm.
"I-its nothing! By Eve By Apple!" Shouted Elsword as he and Elesis zoomed off with dust trailing behind them. Apple quickly ran out to the road of the hill mansion.
"Elsword wait! I didn't get to hug you goodbye!" She shouted. She and Eve continue to stare, confused about what just happened.
'How odd...' Thought Eve.
I hope you enjoyed~! RXR please~! :3
