GL (GalaxyLight): I gotta make this story quick so I can end the first part of the story.
Elsword: What do you mean 'first part of the story'?
GL: I'll tell you at the end of the chapter. For now we have to focus.
Ruben (Past): El-Forest
Everyone covered their eyes to the light they just opened through. After being able to see, they were shocked to see the sky dark blue with stars.
"Whoa! It's night time already!?" Elsword spoke first.
"We must have been in there for quite a long time." Elesis said as she put her hands on her mouth. She then looked around the place and began wondering a bit. "This forest looks familiar for some reason."
"It should." Young Elesis piped up. "This is the El-Forest. We're in Ruben now."
"HUH!?" The older siblings shouted at the same time. Both of them never knew there was a secret exit that leads from Elder to Ruben in Wally's Underground Laboratory.
"We went from Elder to Ruben like this? I never knew there was an exit like that." Elsword cried.
"We must have forgotten about this route when we defeated the Nasod Inspector in our timeline." Elesis tries to put up into words. "Well, I guess there's such a thing as 'look around one more time before leaving'."
The younger siblings didn't understand what they just said. They kept talking for a minute and they got a little bored. So Young Elesis tries to change the subject. "Anyway, now that we're in Ruben, how about we go home? To our house."
The Lord Knight and Grand Master stopped talking and slowly turned their heads with white faces scaring Young Elesis a bit.
"You mean the house we have in the forest, the house we used to live together?" Elesis slowly asks nervously.
"used to?" Young Elesis asked wondering why she said that.
Elsword freaked out and covered Elesis's mouth making her unable to speak. "Don't mind her! She's just feeling a little bit tired from that fight!" Elsword lied as Elesis struggles to get his hand off of her mouth. But Elsword's grip was so tight she could hardly open his hand.
"Oh, okay. So do you want to come?"
"Absolutely! We'd love to go back to our old home."
"Before we do, you might wanna let go of my older self's mouth."
"Huh?" He looked back at his sister who has given up on struggling and is now suffocating from Elsword's grip. "Ah! Sorry, sis!" He screeched as he lets go of her mouth.
Elesis held on to her knees as she was gasping for air. "O-Okay! 'pant' Take us to 'pant' where our home is." She said while panting at the same time.
The four heroes began walking in the forest to look for their home. As they were walking, they some a numerous amount of holes that looked like they've been fired. They also saw most of the trees burnt and animals lying on the ground unable to move. It wasn't a surprise for them but the older siblings were angered to what they have seen.
"This is horrible..." Elsword gritted his teeth a little.
"These aliens are as worse as the demons." Elesis added.
The younger siblings didn't say anything, or rather they were too scared to. They feel the same way but they couldn't be like them, not yet in their young age. They all ignored the ruins and continued walking.
After minutes of walking, they were almost there. Young Elsword became tired so his older self carried him.
"Ah! Here it is! And thank goodness it's not damaged." Young Elesis said cheerfully as she wiped some bushes away.
"So this is it, huh?" Elsword said as he slowly remembers the house he once lived in.
"Yeah. It's pretty nostalgic, isn't it?" Elesis replied back as she smiled. "I'm happy that I get to see it again, especially with you, Elsword." He turned red a bit before looking away making her chuckle.
"Let's just go in! My younger self is getting tired." The girls nodded as they went into the house.
Looking around inside, Elsword and Elesis just stared at the nostalgic rooms as Young Elesis carried her brother to bed. Elsword picked up his old wooden great sword as he remembered that he used it to train with his sister. Elesis looked at a portrait of her and her brother as kids who are more younger than the siblings they've met. She smiled before putting the portrait back.
Young Elesis then came back with some clothes. "These may not be much, but I hope it's comfortable enough for you to wear." She explained. "Although these are the only biggest size I have. I'm not really sure if they fit you." Ironically, the clothes she was holding are the same as she and Young Elsword are wearing right now, but bigger.
"It's okay." Elesis smiled at her younger self. "I was getting tired of wearing these ripped clothes. Honestly, I look like a deserter."
'You're not the only one...' Elsword thought to himself as he looked at his clothes which is torn as well.
The older siblings grabbed their clothes and went separate rooms to change. After waiting, they were done. Elsword finished changing first. The shirt was fine but the shorts were a little too... short, but he didn't really mind it. Elesis also had shorts which somewhat fit her perfectly but her top and shirt were a little too small because her belly button was exposed making her blush a bit as she covers it.
"What are you staring at!?" She shouted at Elsword who was staring at her bluntly.
"N-Nothing!" Elsword snapped out of his mind as he shook his head.
Young Elesis just sweatdropped but then smirked as she got an idea. 'Somehow, seeing them like this looks kinda fun.' She thought to herself. 'I wonder if I should make things a bit more interesting?"
"Come on! Let's go to bed." She called to them.
"Ok. Let's go to sleep in our beds." Elesis agrees. Elsword nodded as well but they were stopped.
"Yeah...about that, we only have two beds, so we sort of have to share." The older siblings remembered that they only had beds of their and then turned a little pale.
"Oh well, we could just let Elsword sleep with his younger self and-" Elesis was cut off by her younger self.
"No can do."
"Eh?" The older siblings both said.
"You see... Elsword isn't very good at sleeping with strangers. Even though you guys are us from the future, I don't think my brother would feel comfortable to sleep with any of you. But he'll be at ease if I sleep together with him. So it'd be best if I was with him."
"EH?" Both of the older siblings cried together. Elsword didn't really remember being scared of sleeping with strangers. That's because he wasn't. Apparently, Young Elesis lied about the fear of sleeping next to strangers thing to make them believe that they did have it. Frankly, it worked because Elsword was good at remembering, he decided to believe it since Young Elesis knows. Elesis thought the same thing but stopped as she thought of something else.
Although not all what Young Elesis said was a lie. They used to sleep together often whenever one of the siblings are having trouble sleeping. Ironically, they were happy when they were sleeping together so they did it more often.
"Wait! If you're going to sleep with him, then what about us?" Elsword asked. He then turned to Elesis who was blushing crimson red. He didn't understand until Young Elesis told him.
"Well, since there's one bed left, I guess you could... you know... share it together? It's fine, because you're siblings too, right?" She said with a bright smile.
Instead of smiling about it, the older siblings' face became the same colour as their hair, as there was only one thing they could say; "EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHH!?"
Since Elsword and Elesis's rooms were in separate rooms so the four shared their rooms into two. Young Elsword was sleeping in his room so Young Elesis slept together with him.
As for the older siblings, they both slept in the same bed together in Elesis's nostalgic room. Both of the older siblings couldn't sleep, because they were blushing deep red because of how close they were together, despite the fact they're facing back-to-back. Both of their backs were touching each other making their faces turn even more red.
'Calm down, Elsword.' Elsword thought to himself. 'We slept together once before so...'
'There shouldn't be a problem with this situation.' Ironically, Elsword and Elesis were both thinking the same thing at the same time. 'Then again, I'm also embarrassed.' Their faces were getting even more red. Both of their hearts were pounding very fast.
'And what's more?! It's night time, inside a room, with no one else around, alone with a girl, regardless that she's my sister, and a special situation on top of all that!' Elsword thought.'This is bad! What should I do? Our backs are touching, and I'm sweating so much. I'm beginning to wonder if she's disgusted by it?'
None of them had the will to talk to each other. It would be too embarrassing for them. But with all the guts, Elsword decided to talk first.
"H-Hey! D-Doing this on purpose is kinda embarrassing, huh?" He nervously asked his sister as he slowly turns to her.
"What do you mean?" She answered. He was surprised to see her face covered with sweat along with a very deep blush. "I-It's just sleeping together as s-siblings, no b-big deal!" She stammers as tries to answer.
'She's more embarrassed than I am!' Elsword thought when he looked at her. Both of them turned back, not looking at each other again.
'Being aware of all this is making me super nervous! More importantly, sleeping together at this age..." Elesis thought to herself. 'It feels as if we're lovers...'
"A... Anyway, we must get some sleep for tomorrow. We'll be leaving early so make sure you wake up early, o-okay...?" She told Elsword.
"Y-Yeah! I'll take note of that." Elsword replied sarcastically.
None of them said anything else after that. They were all silent and their embarrassment was slowly wearing off. They both thought their sibling would be asleep but they know that they're still awake.
Elesis was just thinking about her worries of the future and her future with her brother. Elsword however was thinking about something entirely different. He was thinking about the past between him and his sister, and he was scared of her. Because, Elsword has been hiding something he was afraid of from her, and he was too scared to tell her. So he waited for the right time to tell her the truth... and he thought that now is the time to tell her right now.
"Elesis?" Elsword spoke.
"Y-Yes!" Elesis was surprised that her brother called her name which he haven't done that for a while, so she wasn't used to it.
"Um... I hope you won't be mad at me but... about what you said that you need me..." That's when he began to get nervous but it was not just him, Elesis herself was getting nervous as well. When he said that, she knew he was going to tell her something big. She cuddled her arms to her body waiting for his answer.
"Was that really true?... That you need me?" Elesis's eyes immediately widened as she almost gasped. "You see, ever since childhood, I always looked up to you. You were always fighting so hard and you never lost a match, from what I've seen anyway. You never hesitated to defeat your enemies. You trained me to become a strong warrior like you. You wanted me to be like you. I was always happy for what you have done for me." Elesis smiled when he told her that.
"At least that's what I thought..." That changed Elesis's expression from happiness to shock. "When you left me to get stronger and fight the demons, I felt something that feared me, chained me, made me suffer. My feelings for you completely changed. I was torn when you left me, so I decided to get stronger so I can find you again. But at the same time, it felt as if it wasn't really necessary to do that, since you've handled yourself without me..." That made Elesis shock even more.
"When I left Ruben to find the El Shard and you, I heard rumors about you being victorious against the demon squads. That made me even more uncomfortable. You've been handling yourself so much without me. You've focused really hard on the missions and handled your duty without any mistakes. I thought you've forgotten about me. "
"When we were united again, I was happy to see you as well as you did. But that didn't make me feel any more better than what I was afraid of. I thought that even if we're together again, you'd be focusing more on the missions instead of spending your time with your missed brother. I thought that all the searching I have done was all for nothing."
"I was too scared to admit it to myself but... I'm not sure if you really needed me anymore. I let myself believe that I was making the right choice. But I wasn't sure if I really am. I thought I was just getting in your way. Interrupting your goal, wasting your time training me or messing around with you. Please, Elesis. I beg of you. Please tell me the truth. Do you really need me?" He said as he fights not to cry.
Elesis couldn't believe what she was listening. She never knew her brother felt that way. The good memories that will be forgotten to him. If you that happens, their relation will almost be torn apart. She began to knew that everything was her fault. She let Elsword be on his own, helpless and lonely.
She was proud that he got stronger and so was Elsword himself, but his feelings were the same, the feeling of being forgotten. Everything she has done for him was almost all for nothing. She could feel it the pain in Elsword's heart, not just his, but also her own. She knew she had to make it up to him somehow. Luckily, she knew how to do that because she herself had painful feelings of her own as well.
Elsword was still waiting for an answer. 'Sis, please don't ignore me. I really need to know if you really-' before he could think anymore. He suddenly felt something soft on his back. He then felt arms on his stomach. He finally realises that Elesis is hugging him from behind.
"WHA?! Elesis! What are you doing?!" He blushed madly as he tried to turn but because Elesis was hugging him tightly, he couldn't move his body. He could feel her chest pressing onto him making him blush even more.
"You big idiot. Of course I need you." She answered his question.
"Eh?"
"To tell you the truth, Elsword, I also ended up regretting myself when I left you in Ruben." Elsword's eyes widened when she said that.
"When I saw you hurt between the fight with Scar in the past, I felt like I wasn't strong enough to protect you. So I left to train harder and become stronger to fight the demons. But at the same time, I feel like doing that was probably the biggest mistake I've ever made." Elsword became even more shocked as he was listening.
"Whenever I was training and fighting, I couldn't stop but to think and worry about you and your safety. I always struggled myself between that and the sake of Elrios. I didn't want to believe you were gone from me. I just couldn't stop."
"I once saw a boy with a little sister and they both loved each other a lot. It hurt my heart when I began remembering the times you and I had together. It was so loving, I wanted to have that feeling with you again, but I knew I couldn't."
"When I heard that about the El Search Party and you, I felt I could see you again, but also worry at the same time. The road you were taking was big and dangerous, I was worried that you would get hurt very badly. I wanted to go back and find you but The problem was that I couldn't abandon my mission. Please don't get the wrong idea. You're still more worth more than the missions."
"I was so happy that we're together again. I thought everything would be the same again. But I noticed something different about you. I wanted to know what it was but you never told me. You always tried to change the subject to avoid the truth. Now that I know, it might have been a mistake to make me ask you that."
"Elsword, I want you to forget about your past experience and go for the future. I don't want you to suffer because of me. I don't want you to forget about me. I love you, Elsword, and I don't want to lose you. You're the only family I have. If you forget about me or worse die, I don't know what I'll do anymore." Tears began falling down on her eyes as she was slowly crying. "I beg of you. Please don't leave me!"
Elsword realises that telling the truth was his biggest mistake. He never knew that he meant so much to Elesis. It was because they were siblings. He should have forgotten about his suffering. He shouldn't have brought it up. But now he made his poor sister very upset. Elsword now knew what he must do.
Leaving all the regrets from the past in his mind, he managed to turn around to see Elesis's face with tears in them. "Elsword?" She slowly whispered.
"I'm sorry, Elesis. I shouldn't have told you this. I love you as well. You're my only family as well. I know that you would never forget me. I promise that I will always be with you as long as you do the same." Elsword stated as his tears fell down as well.
"I..." More tears were coming down on her face. "I will. Thank you, Elsword. Thank you." She whimpered as she began sobbing silently as she was trying to wipe her tears. Elsword helped.
"I... I should thanking you, sister." Elsword whimpered as well.
After crying for a while, Elsword was already asleep. Elesis was just about to do the same after looking at him one more time. "No matter how far apart we are, even if our feelings change, I will always love you, Elsword." She smiled before closing her eyes to fall asleep with her beloved little brother.
GL: Phew! That was probably one of the best Elsword X Elesis moment so far. I hope myself to make more in the future. And no, that was not a confession... not yet anyway. It's just a gigantic sibling love moment. Although it did feel very emotional. The confession will come though, you have my word.
As for what happened to Eve, probably don't know what happened to her yet. (Until we get to Altera (spoilers)).
I won't be able to come back to this for a while. I have a lot of work in my life so I'll be staying out of Fanfiction for quite some time. But don't worry! I'll be back before you know it.
Before I stop, I'll be adding a bonus chapter, bonus scenes, funny stuff and scenes that I couldn't put in the past chapters. I'll put them on soon. See you then!
