The six girls sat on the centered couch, youngest on one end and oldest on the other.
"I believe we should start with introductions, the lazy filth over there is the first born, Sakamaki Shu, I am the second eldest, Sakamaki Reiji, the one you conveniently met earlier is the third oldest, Sakamaki Ayato-"
"I'll get you back" Ayato swore, glaring at Lisa yet his face held a childish smirk.
"Hush, child, the grown ups are talking, please continue, Reiji-san" Lisa batted, the corner of her lips twitched as she strained to holdback a smirk and ignore the redhead's glare.
Ayato growled before standing to his feet he opened his mouth to speak but paused midway before smirking. Ayato's smirk never left his face as he plopped himself back down on the lone seat. Lisa's only response being an eye roll, she refrained from flicking him off in front of everyone, she'll reserve that for later.
"As I was saying, Ayato is the oldest of the triplets, followed by Kanato, and then Laito"
The lavender haired boy, who clutched his teddy bear securely, gave the six girls a smile that caused a shiver to rack down Lili's spine, she pulled her stuffed kitten, Koko, closer to her chest and pushed herself deeper into the couch. Layla took note of her older sister's reaction and grasped her hand comfortingly.
"Now Bitch-chan won't be so lonely, ne, Kanato-chan~"
Layla glared at the fedora wearing redhead, disliking his obvious reference to Yui, the only other known girl in the household.
"Lastly, there's Subaru, he is the youngest"
A loud bang resonated throughout the room and the girls instinctively turned to the source, a white haired boy had slammed his fist against the wall and left a large dent, pieces of the plaster flaked off as he removed is fist.
"This is stupid, I don't want to do this!" He shouted, folding his arms like a child.
"Tch, you're telling us?" Raven muttered sarcastically, resting her chin tiredly on the palm of her hand and blowing a strand of hair out of her face.
"I suppose that is our cue" Anais sighed, her eyes shut as her fingers rested against her temple, propping her head up as she drifted between awareness and sleep.
"To my left is Haven Anais, she is the oldest but resigned as Head of the Haven Household years ago, now I am the head. I am the second oldest, Haven Anastasia, we are twins. Then there are the triplets, Haven Lisa, the third oldest, then Lila, and Layla"
The girls nodded as their names were called
"finally, there is Raven, the youngest"
Anastasia could feel her heart thud as she realized they were nearing the last part of the greeting: assigning brides.
"Earlier you spoke of how it was in your nature to help, instinctive, my father gave little information and we only found out about the arrangement a week ago"
"We are all half angels, it is our nature to help" Ana told them, leaving out the personal information.
"let's just get on with this...everyone is so loud"
Shu slowly rose, gathering everyone's attention, all but one. Anais had shifted so that her head was rest on the arm rest, her legs crossed over so she'd fit on the small space and her arms tucked under her head for support.
"For once, I agree, we will do this by order...meaning you go first" Reiji announced, but there was barely noticeable strain towards the end.
Shu stood to his feet, taking his time with his movements, his blue eyes popped open as he made his way to pass the couch and to the front of the room, but as he was passing by he took hold of Anais's wrist and pulled her up with him. Surprisingly the blonde haired girl stood perfectly, blinking slightly as she was forcefully thrown into awareness, and examined the room with confusion.
Anastasia's heart pounded in her chest as Anais made eye contact, it was happening, and she could on watch and wait.
"He chose you" Anastasia informed calmly, although she despised her words.
"I see" Anais muttered, her face neutral, not a trace of anger nor happiness as she was pulled by the tall blonde toward the door.
"I wish to see who my sisters are in the care of" Anais stated, stopping abruptly and forcing Shu to stop along with her.
Shu looked annoyed by her request but leaned against the door with his eyes shut and headphones in, he simply did not care.
"My dear" Reiji called, holding his hand out to Anastasia, who lightly thanked him for his hand, before wordlessly grasping it and elevating herself from the couch.
Ana stood by him with her head high, offering her younger siblings a gentle smile and receiving four wary smiles in return.
"It's Oresama's turn, Chichi, and guess who I pick" Ayato exclaimed, bending so his face was a foot away from Lisa's. Her eyebrow twitched as she registered what he called her, Chichi: breast. She looked down at her chest and was grateful it was fully covered before she glared into Ayato's eyes.
"thanks for the compliment, buta-san" She insulted, only receiving a knowing smirk before her wrist was grasped and she was forced against his chest, she continued to glare before brushing past him and standing besides his former seat.
Kanato stepped forward and in response Lili scooted back, her head down as she stared at her Koko with more interest than usual.
"Ne, Teddy, who should we pick?"
His question seemed to cause the three girls left to tense and the three standing to eye him suspiciously, they disregarded the carrying of 'Teddy' due to Lila having an unhealthy attachment to Koko, but even she never talked to the stuffed plushy.
It was silent before Kanato footsteps rang through the room, until he finally landed in front of Lila.
"You're face in priceless, Teddy said you'll look nice in our collection" He told before roughly picking her from out of her spot beside Layla. Instinctively, Raven reached out after her sister, who looked terrified, but Layla caught her hand and shook her head no. As soon as she was up, Lil pulled her arm back to her side.
"I do not plan on becoming a part of anybody's collection, Kanato-san" She stated, her voice firm yet soft. Her big golden eyes offered an apologetic look before she walked to Kanato's previous place and he trailed behind her silently, but the tightened grip he had on "Teddy" hadn't gone unnoticed.
Laito strutted towards Layla before gripping her chin so she would look him in the eyes, Her big golden orbs stared up at him innocently and her heart pounded in her chest, she internally scolded herself for choosing to wear a spaghetti strapped crop top rather than the long sleeved one Ana had suggested before they left. She felt exposed in front of him.
"I'm happy no one picked you yet, Bitch-chan~ I can have you all to myself~"
Layla said nothing, but mentally noted to cause some type of harm when he calls her that again.
Subaru and Raven scoffed as their eyes met, both turned away instantly and folded their arms.
"Great, I got the smartass as a bride"
"And I got the emo" Raven bit back, rolling her eyes as she stood to her feet and went to Anastasia, staring up at her with big sapphire eyes.
"Why can't we go home?" She asked softly, holding back tears as she stared up at the head of her family expectantly.
"A home is a happy family" Layla spoke as she passed her two sisters before releasing a dry laugh "we were never happy".
