Word of the day: Flabbergasted – to become overcome with surprise
Devi stared at his parents, his facial expression showing that of someone extremely flabbergasted by the current situation. He had absolutely no idea why his two parents were in that position. Why were their legs twisted that way? Why were their tongues there?
Devi was about to share his confusion with his parents, when a hand suddenly covered his eyes and started tugging him away. When they had walked some distance away from Yuuri and Wolfram's bedroom door, Devi pushed away from the hand that held him and turned on whoever had dared to lead him away.
"Greta?" Devi's anger stopped short at the sight of his older sister's smiling face. Greta smiled widely at Devi and giggled at the confused expression that her little brother wore. "Why did you lead me away from Papa and Daddy?" Devi questioned.
"Well," The little girl started off. "Uncle Gwendal says that sometimes, parents need some time alone, and that when they're alone, they share a special hug."
"A special hug?" Devi asked, his confusion peaking.
Greta nodded. "Yes. Uncle Gwendal said that parents have to be alone when they give their special hug."
Devi pouted. "How come they get to have special hugs? I want one, too!"
Greta frowned at that. "I never really wondered why…I want a special hug, too!"
Devi and Greta sat together in their confusion. How come their parents were able to share special hugs and their children weren't included in the love? That simply wasn't fair! As they wondered, their wonderment turned to frustration, and their frustration turned into slight anger.
"Maybe we should ask Uncle Gwendal…? He seems to know the most about this!" Devi finally said.
Greta's smile returned, spreading across her face rapidly. "Good idea!"
…And somewhere within the castle, a long haired Mazoku sneezed…
