-- Probably if N and [Name] became a couple--
"RISE AND SHINE BEAUTIES!" Was the first thing [Name] heard when she was, oh so wonderfully, woken up at 4 am by a series of pots and pans banging against each other.
"WAKIE WAKIE [Name]! Get ready for another wonderful day!" Aidyn shrilled and burst in the dark room. He made sure to flip on all of the lights, purposefully annoying the antagonist to the best of his ability despite knowing full well of the dangers that would arise from his actions.
[Name] hissed at the bright light and dove underneath the cover.
Aidyn rolled his eyes. "No need to be so dramatic. It's not that early. It's only like...4 am." The brave soul proceeded to rip off the covers, causing the girl to scream bloody murder.
[Name] made sure Aidyn could see the very special finger she was holding up for him.
"A lady should not perform such a heinous act." Aidyn chirped. As if on cue, Aidyn's comment was interrupted by a vase zooming past his face, grazing him slightly on the cheek. A trail of blood dripped down Aidyn's cheek as the vase shattered right next to him.
Unfazed by the unsettling amount of blood running down his face, the male cheekily smiled at the irked girl, "Looks like someone's been getting friendly with Rion~" [Name] eyed the seemingly stupid man in front of her, wondering why he wasn't cowering underneath her. That was when she noticed it.
A full set of pillow armor encompassing his entire body.
A metal pan resting in his hand, ready to strike at a moments notice.
This cocky little bugger was prepared for any attack she would throw at him.
"Don't. Even." [Name] hissed underneath her breath. She couldn't wait to murder the man who decided it was a wonderful idea to forcibly wake her up at 4 am. After all, no one likes being woken up early.
Especially [Name].
She even considered the possibility of grabbing the knife Rion gifted to her on her birthday and throwing it at the smug man in front of her. Yup, she was willing to go the extra mile. Nothing comes between a girl and her sleep. Nothing...
Ok, maybe she was spending too much time with Rion. Just maybe.
Before the girl could go through with her plan, a bucket of icy cold water 'mysteriously' found its way on top of the [color-haired] girl.
"Be doused and purified by thy holy water that hath cleared thou of all sins." The black-haired devil mockingly chanted as he continuously threw buckets of water onto [Name].
"..."
"..."
"I will murder you in your sleep."
Let's just say, [Name] was not purified by the holy water.
************************************
"Listen up darlings...and [Name]," Aidyn giddily announced into a megaphone while standing on top of the coffee table, disregarding everyone's yawning and [Name]'s butthurt glare. "Today is finally the big day! We're finally hitting the climax of the story!"
The house was silent, minus the lonesome Keo excitedly clapping in the corner of the room.
Aidyn was about to cry from the lack of excitement.
"You finally get to ignore Crystal?" Aidyn shakily reworded. The whole house took a few seconds to the process Aidyn's words, then suddenly erupting into a frenzy of claps and cheers. Even Lumi, who was infamous for being too nice, eagerly clapped along.
After all, he would never get over the trauma of Crystal somehow managing to blow up the whole kitchen by just boiling water.
************************************
{A week earlier}
Nothing in the English dictionary could describe what Lumi felt when he walked into the demolished kitchen...
No.
This room shouldn't even be called a kitchen anymore. With the normally soft blue wallpaper littered with black burn marks and the metallic stove becoming a LITERAL lump of charcoal on the ground, the 'kitchen' seemed like it belonged in a pyromaniac's house. In the middle of the mess was, as predicted, a sobbing Crystal holding a pot of water.
Why was she inside the house? Well, it was because the "Lumi x Crystal" event was a 'fun-and-flirty-baking-get-together,' which meant that the family needed a kitchen. However, due to the other kitchens being 'magically' closed down, Lumi's precious safe haven was left as a sacrificial offering.
Everyone was outside watching the drama unfold in front of them.
"I'm so sorry, Lumi!" Crystal cried as she ran towards an internally crying boy (some real tears might've been shed). "All I wanted was to boil some water for you. I'm such a klutz." She looked up at him with her big, round, puppy-dog, diamond eyes.
All Lumi could do was numbly nod at Crystal's words as he slowly disintegrated into a pile of dust.
{End of flashback}
The family still remembered the poor honey brown-haired boy spending countless nights crying over the death of Samantha, his favorite cutting knife (There's even a shrine dedicated to Samantha in the newly-renovated kitchen).
It truly was a trauma Lumi could never get over.
************************************
After the cheering died down, Aidyn still had a dumb grin plastered across his face as he jumped off the table. His normal attire of a striped t-shirt and black jeans was magically replaced with a white lab coat complimented with a pair of black rimmed glasses, giving him a professor look. Behind the wannabe-professor was a giant whiteboard and a lab assistant right next to it.
That assistant was Sei, all dolled up in a white blouse and black pencil skirt. As much as she hated to admit it, this boy looked mighty fine in his business women attire. Curse his attractiveness.
"How much did you earn?" [Name] hollered aloud. She knew that the only reason why Sei was wearing a skirt was for cash.
The green-haired drag queen smugly grinned at the antagonist and waved around a crisp 100 point card. [Name]'s jaw dropped. 100 points in this world were equivalent to 100 dollars in the real world. Do you know how much junk food she could buy for 100 bucks?! Sign her up right now! Who needed pride anyways?
The girl solemnly observed the dressed-up male writing down the agenda on the board. Sei was humming to himself, happy about his newest gain, while Aidyn was pretending to be useful but in actuality was adding unnecessary doodles in the margins. Pretending that she wasn't jealous of Sei, [Name] looked at the intruding object with curious skepticism.
"I thought we normally get packets containing today's plan." She leaned towards Leo and whispered into his ear, making sure no one heard her inquiry.
Unbeknownst to the pair, there was a mischievous glint in the doodling man.
"Oh ho ho ho~ my darling [Name]." Aidyn, who apparently had ears of a fox, teleported between the two and sat between them, swinging his arms around Leo's shoulder. Alarms immediately went off in Leo's head and his touch aversion kicked in, causing him to slap Aidyn's arm away. "Bad touch." [Name] sighed, Aidyn should've expected this.
Aidyn awkwardly coughed as he pointed towards a certain someone. "Well, you see, someone, and I won't say who even though it's totally obvious, thought it was a brilliant idea to create paper airplanes out of the paper used for the packets."
All sleep-deprived eyes stared at a clueless Keo stuffing his face with pancakes.
"So, you thought it was a good idea to use all of the printer paper to make paper airplanes." Leo pinched the bridge of his nose as he glared at his twin, who was suddenly choking on his pancakes. The dark bags underneath the livid black-hair's eyes weren't helping to make his intense stare softer.
"Yes.... I mean, no?" The male in question laughed nervously, his violet eyes were begging for help.
To bad people would rather want an hour of sleep rather than 10000 paper airplanes.
It truly was a pity.
*cough*
"Why paper airplanes of all things?"
"They're cool?"
"Why are we even related?"
During this whole conversation, Sei was still writing down the agenda on the board, blissfully unaware of the action behind him.
************************************
"Make sure you take notes for me." Were Leo's last words to [Name] as he calmly dragged a terror-stricken Keo upstairs for a one-on-one lesson.
[Name] owlishly blinked, not comprehending what she just heard.
That was when panic ensued. Was Leo actually trusting her to do something?! Would she be able to live up to his expectation?! She didn't even know where to begin.
"How does one, in a world with no electronics, take notes without paper?" Was the first question she asked herself, unaware that she was talking aloud.
"You use your memory, Antag~" A voice whispered into [Name]'s ear, causing her to jump in fright. She turned around and was met with a certain white-haired psychopath coyly smiling at her. As much as she hated to admit it, this fudger looked gorgeous when he wasn't swinging a knife at her. This wasn't good for her mental health.
The antagonist anxiously searched the room for any trace of Essi, hoping his presence would help ease the awkwardness. Unluckily, her saving grace was nowhere to be found. "Shouldn't you be talking with Essi?" [Name] rose an eyebrow as she questioned Rion, making sure to select her words extremely carefully. With a delicate topic such as Essi, she didn't want to make the same mistake as last time. The antagonist shuddered at the thought of it.
Rion longingly stared at Essi's room and sighed. "He's upstairs sleeping." The albino hopped over the couch and plopped next to a confused [Name]. He hugged one of the red throw pillows and started tracing the pattern in a depressed manner. "I told him to sleep more because he wasn't sleeping well last night, and that I would tell him the information Aidyn would tell us so he wouldn't miss anything."
[Name] couldn't help but widen her eyes in confusion. Was... Rion... being nice? What has the world come to?! First Leo and now Rion?! It must've been the holy water Aidyn was using.
Despite the suspicions she was having, the fangirl inside her was stronger. She couldn't help but internally squealed. This was the sweetest thing Rion has ever done for Essi.
"Awww, look at you. Who's a good boy." A new wave a confidence rose up in the form of her patting Rion's hair, his normally pale face was a bright red. [Name] booped him on the nose.
The boy swats the antagonist's hand away, looking away in embarrassment. "I have a knife and I'm not afraid to use it." [Name] chuckled at Rion's way of expressing embarrassment.
The whole time she was unaware of the jealous scowl on N's face.
A/N: Guess who isn't dead. THIS GIRL! Sorry about the uhm... one month... wait. School was being such a Crystal (b**ch) and I just haven't had the time to update properly. I'll try to make sure that updates are more common for my wonderful viewers. Seriously tho, your comments make me smile so, so, so, much. :)
