Avan's P.O.V.

-Dream-

"You're a failed to reach my expections, Avan…" Luca pouted, placing the cup of tea on the wooden table in front of him.

" … It's your fault anyway…. Screwing other people's lives, that is…. " I said, trying not to sound angry and disgusted at the thought of it. Manipulating somebody for their own entertainment; I grimaced at the thought.

"Heh…. Who's decision was it to give up?". Luca shot back, staring into my eyes. His faced showed a wry smile. "In the end… It not Riddle who gave up on you…. It was you who gave up on Riddle…"

And as if a devil whispered into my ear…..

I didn't know how to respond so I ended up just standing there, little tears building up.

"Hey Avan… Would you like to help me on my next experiment?"

-End dream-

Cry's P.O.V.

I was awoken by the beams of sunlight that went through the shades. I grabbed my phone from the nightstand; it was beside the bowl of cookies that Iris gave me yesterday. "I have to return the bowl later.", making a mental note to myself. I grabbed the phone and looked for the time, 6: 32 a.m. I usually sleep in by the weekends and to add the fact that I was extremely exhausted yesterday made me even more confused about it. I stood up and a stinging headache attacked me. Each step I took made pain seared through my head. I went to the bathroom to get some painkillers but I found nothing so I went to the lobby. I saw Miki sitting on her usual place, drinking a cappuccino with cinnamon. The drink smelled familiar but I shrugged it off.

"Morning sleepy head!" Miki greeted taking a sip of the drink. "Nice bed hair!" She exclaimed.

"Morning Miki, do you have by any chance some painkillers?" I said ignoring the last statement she said.

"Yeah I have" She said as she grabbed some in the drawer next to her handing some to me. "Here have some."

I said my thanks and drank two pills dry. I was headed for my room but I bumped into someone in the process. It was Avan.

"Oh… Hey…." He greeted me with an annoyed voice and eyes barely open.

" Y-Yeah…. Nice bed hair…" I pointed out his messy strands of strawberry blonde hair waving at every side.

"Ugh… I know… Riddle always points it out"'

Then out of a sudden, I heard a familiar voice from behind.

"Good morning, Cry, and nice bed hair Avan~!"

When I turn back it was Luca, looking as elegant and neat as ever, with his hair perfectly tied in place and his shirt all buttoned up.

With him was his, seemingly polar opposite brother. He was hanging by Luca's shoulder half asleep, with messy wrinkly pyjamas that have paint all over it.

Layle mumbled something but i couldn't make most of it; the words "Masterpiece" and "Disturb" were the only things I deciphered from all that gibberish crap.

"Whats up with your brother Luca," Avan asked trying to fix his bed hair, "He looks like he has been hit by a truck full of paint."

"Oh this is normal Avan," Luca said, giggling slightly in the process, "He's just been painting."

Layle apparently woke up and stood. He turned right and left then punched Luca on the shoulder. "Brother! I told you to not disturb me until I finish my art!" He shouted, tripping on nothing and falling to the floor. He seriously need sleep.

"Layle, you trapped yourself in your room for the past two weeks already." Luca said helping his brother out. "And he only thing I saw drawn on the canvas was a drawing of an onion..."

Avan and me burst out laughing as we heard the word "onion" come out from Luca's mouth.

Layle gave us all death stares , "IT'S ART!" He shouted. He walked to his room which was right next to Luca's room but before he even took a step he fell on the wooden floor once again.

Once again Luca helped his brother out and dragged him to his room; Avan on the other hand went back to his room to get more shut-eye.

I followed Luca to his room, not even questioning why he brought him into his room instead to his own personal room. I leaned on the wall opposite the door, I felt uneasy.

Soon enough Luca exited without me noticing. "Hmm? What happened to you Cry?" He noticed me in my unstable state using his usual tone; Friendly and kind. Did he already forgot about what happened last night or is he just playing as if it never happened? I asked myself. "I'm sorry" I mumbled.

"Hmm? About what? Last Night?" Luca asked, it seems like he doesn't really actually care.

"Yes." I managed to mumble out.

"Ah... Last night, It's okay, I'm sorry as well Cry, for intervening your relationship with Pewdie"

"But, that slap... I'm sorry for my sudden outburst"

"Ahh, the slap." He smiled. "I really don't mind, in fact, I've had worse"

He said as he chuckled. "I've had worse?" what did he mean by that...

"In all honesty, you slap like a high school girl being dumped by her boyfriend... Not that I'm insulting you."

... How can he say all that with a smile?

" Are you good at those things Luca?"

"Hmm?"

"You've had worse you say..."

" Ehehehe~! You'll never imagine."

I left the hallway and proceeded to the lobby to have some breakfast. As i reached i saw Sven sitting in one of the leather chair, eating a blueberry muffin. "Hi Cry, Morning!" He greeted.

"Hey Sven..." I greeted back, "Where did you get that muffin?"

"Oh this, Iris just baked a batch." He pointed out, "Just go to the kitchen."

I followed his directions and went to the kitchen; the scent of freshly baked goods filled the area around it. I opened the door revealing Iris wearing an white apron with a text that said PANDAS LOVE ME! in bold text. "Good Morning Cry-sama!~" She greeted.

"Good Morning Iris."

The oven alarm rang and Iris extracted the freshy baked muffins from the oven. She placed the muffins on a white ceramic plate; steam came out from it. "Grab one Cry~" She said and I gladly agreed. I bit the hot muffin and the pastry burned my tongue in the proccess. Iris laughed at my pain; she patting my shoulder. "it's okay Cry, just drink really cold Orange juice."

"No I'm okay Iris."

I felt the kitchen and went back to the lobby; nobody was there. I sat on one of the leather chairs but then i got bored and headed outside. I stood on the porch, feeling the wind. There was a girl with extremely long red hair full of hair clips that stood there, was she waiting for someone or something?

Wondering, I went outside to see who she was.

The girl had a pretty face, she was wearing a shoulderless shirt with rose design over the lower part, and a black cargo pants, she appeared to be baggy because of her clothing but, nevertheless, she looked cute and it suited her perfectly with her sapphire blue eyes.

As soon as she noticed me, she trembled.

"Um, hey" I said, trying to sound as gentle as possible.

"H-H-Hel-Hel-lo..." She stuttured in response.

"Are you waiting for someone?"

She noded

"Oh, then come in" I said as I opened the door to welcome her in.

"B-B-But...! I-I ... T-That P-person... D-doesn't ... W-w-wan-want to... see me..."

Now tears were forming in her eyes, and she trembled even more.

That's... That's just mean... Why would someone do this to her?

"Who is the person you are looking for?"

"A-Avan..."

Eh... Avan did this to her? Wait... Those hair clips she's wearing reminds me of...

" ... Could it be that... Your a guy?!"

He blinked and twinked his head to the side in curiosity

" Ye-Yes, Of c-c-course I'm a guy... Y-You t-though... I-I-I'm a girl?"

I smiled sheepishly with my hand scratching my head...

"S-Sorry, but you are really pretty..."

He started to fidget a bit and a blush appeared in his cheeks. His eyes wouldn't meet my gaze, but with a small voice he said.

"T-Thank you..."

I smiled at this.

"I'm sorry but Avan's still sleeping, and you don't want to see his bed hair."

"Oh... Ahaha... His bed hair is terrible isn't it?"

"Yes, he told me you always point it out."

"Yeah... Well I think I'll take my leave. I'll just come back later."

"Ok Riddle, See ya later."

"O-Oh kay... Th-thank you..."

We gave our goodbyes and I went back inside the building. My eyelids falling slowly.I have to go back to sleep. I went back to my room, not meeting anybody in the way there and just plopped on the soft fluffy bed. Sleep...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .. .. .. . . . .

(3rd Person)

Cry slept peacefully on his bed for the rest of the morning. Nothing special happened in the condominium; it was only quiet. A quiet morning. Miki was stationed on her usual place, behind the wooden counter in the lobby, humming a song that sounded like a nursery rhyme. The time eventually passed by and it was already ten a.m. Avan was still asleep, unaware that Riddle will come visit. The main door opened, Riddle came in.

"Hello Riddle!" Miki greeted

"H-hello Miki..." Riddle greeted back, uneasy as always.

"Came to visit Avan?"

"Y-yes..."

"Well you know where he is, go on."

"Ok..."

Riddle left Miki and went straight to Avan's room. He walked to it, making soft footstep sounds while doing so. He knocked on the door... No Reply. He knocked again... Still no reply. What now he asked himself. Should I just go in without his permition? No? Yes? This lasted for a few minutes till somebody broke his train of thought. It was Luca, still wearing the same clothes as he wore when he was carrying his brother back to his room. Some paint stained his white undershirt, some on his black vest.

He tilted his head to the side in the act of confusion, but finally with a light chuckle he greeted.

" Hello, my I help you?"

Riddle, was hesitant at first, but after hearing Luca's kind chuckle, he lightened up a bit. Fiddling with his fingers, he blushed, and directed his towards the floor while giving his answer.

" Y-Yes... Y-You-Your name I-Is...?"

He smiled and give a gentleman's bow, as if he was a butler.

"Luca Lycanthrope De' Signorelli, I'm one of the people running this condominium... Though... I'm not usually, here because of law school... What do can I do for you today?"

Avan's P.O.V.

I went back to my room to get more shut eye. I was supposed to go the lobby to get some muffins or something. Iris usually cooks a batch for us every weekends but as I opened my door that little show between Luca and his brother made me loss my appetite so yeah. I entered my room, loose wires were scattered all over the floor, I should really fix those, they might short curcuit... Meh, some other day. I went straight to my bed afterwards, laying down on the soft matress. The smell of rose incense filled my room; it was a gift from Riddle and I liked it. It makes me feel relaxed and lulls me to sleep.

... ... .. .. . . . . .

I heard knocking on my door, im not sure it was only in a dream but then it repeated, louder. clearer. For sure it was real. I got up from my bed and headed for the door. Before I could reach it I heard voices, two of them to be exact. It was Luca and Riddle. Why was he here?

(3rd person)

"You decide Riddle" Luca said in a monotonous tone.

Riddle slowly backed away, terrified. Tears were dropping from his eyes. He ran off opening the front door and slamming it shut. Miki, for some odd reason was not even suspicious on what happened the the other guy but she was partially curious.

Seconds later, the purple haired man came to the lobby, elegantly sitting on one of the leather chairs there, pouring some hot water on one of his victorian teacups. Satisfied with his tea, he relaxed.

"What happened Luca?" Miki asked, gently tilting her head.

"Nothing special, but it sparked my attention" Luca smiled sweetly, sipping his St. John's Wort.

"Eh? What does that mean?"

"Ehe, that's something Miki could never understand!"
