'wow look at me...' I sighed as I rubbed a hand over the wounds on my shoulder. "Bitten on Christmas Day... What a present." I roll my eyes as I pull the ugly Christmas sweater Luke sent me a couple days ago.

Speaking of, he finally got back from that strange vacation he'd been sent on. He said that so many weird things kept happening that delayed his return. The tour bus kept breaking down and even the flight back was booked wrong. Of course I had my suspicions about how my best friend just so happened to have an free impromptu trip to the other side of the world but I kept my mouth shut.

Me, being the paranoid movie veteran I am, made sure to grill him with a ton of questions only he would know upon his return. Ladies and gents, he's real.

Now he just has to juggle dealing with his girlfriend Kim, who now thought he had been purposefully avoiding her, and the mountains of homework he'd missed out on.

Finals week was BRUTAL but your boy did it~

But long exposition aside, it was currently about seven in the evening. I'd just woken up from being passed out due to blood loss thanks to the three greedy leeches that had sunk their teeth into me about nine hours ago.

'speaking of...' I glance back at my bed and around the room.

'they aren't here...?'

I sigh and move back to my bed.

It wasn't as though I needed them with me when I woke up but they'd done it almost everyday that waking up alone was just a tad bit lonely now.

Before I could sink deeper into my emo stupor, my stomach let out a loud growl.

'Time to see whether the bite Ayato left is gonna hinder my eating...' I sigh again and shuffle to the door. 'If it does I'm skinning that damn mosquito.'

'mosquito skin rug-'

The door flew open, causing me to stumble back.

"SHUT THE HELL UP SUBARU, YOU BASTARD! YOU COULDN'T MAKE HOT COCOA EVEN IF YOU TRI-" Ayato pauses mid sentence, meeting my gaze.

"Well then you make the porridge next time all mighty Oreo-sa-" Subaru then rounds the corner, a large tray in his hands. "Ace? You're awake already?" Subaru questioned, a strange look of worry on his face.

I open my mouth to acknowledge his words but a pair of arms, wrapped in familiarly soft knit sleeves held me from behind.

I blink and now I'm on my laurels, planted on Shu's lap as he leaned against my headboard. "Stay in bed..." He muttered into my ear, sending a pleasant shiver down my spine. 'Ugh, the Shu asmr is A+ today...'

I end up curling further into him, much to Ayato and Subaru's annoyance.

"Shu you bastard!" Ayato yelled, grabbing me by the arm and pulling me onto him.

'Ya'll think that this is cute...

BEING TREATED LIKE A DAMN LALALOOPSIE DOLL SOUND BETTER THAN IT IS ALRIGHT?!'

I wince, the sudden action having caused the wounds on my neck to pull.

"...don't move him so suddenly." Shu grumbled as he leans me back onto him. Ayato clicked his tongue but relented, settling with sitting beside us instead.

Subaru walked over with a sigh before placing the tray on the bed.

I glance down at the bowl of porridge accompanied with small saucers of different toppings like salted veggies and peanuts. "This is just like what I used to have as a kid," I mutter, staring down at the congee before turning my gaze up at Subaru.

A light pink dusted hus features as he looked away, settling himself opposite me, the tray between us. "Y-you mentioned it before so we..." He trailed off, hands gripping the sheets.

I let out an amused huff and grab his hand. I couldn't miss the small stains of soy sauce and even a couple grains of rice that clung to his fingers. "Thank you for the breakfast," I grin and his blush only darkens as he grunts in reply.

"What about me...?" Shu's words once again brush against my neck and I shudder. His arms wrap around me once more. "I opened all the canned toppings..." I glance down at the multitude of saucers on the tray and chuckle. Was this him being all attention seeking...? I could get used to it.

I turn back and, being the bold bitch I am, place a nice smooch on his nose. "Thank you too Shu," I snicker, moving on to face Subaru and placing a kiss on the back of his hand. He babbled out a few random syllabuls but settled with looming away for a few seconds as the heat on his face died down.

"What about Ore-sama?!" Ayato grumbled, pointing at the carton of cranberry juice on the edge of the tray. Subaru scoffs. "You just took it out of the box, you couldn't even make the hot chocolate." At this Ayato lets loose a new slurry of colourful language.

I let out a laugh and grab Ayato by his collar, pulling him in and giving him a big ol smootch on his cheek.

"Thank you," I look around at the three of them.

"All of you."

[EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABT IT!!!]

After cursing out Ayato for the placement of his bite, because of course every mouthfull of porridge I took caused a small pinch of pain from the bite mark behind my lip, we fell into a comfortable silence. Hell, I was convinced Shu had fallen asleep behind me.

But one thing was still on my mind.

"Hey guys..." I mutter, lowering my spoon. "What do you think we are?"

I'd be lying if I said this was the first time I'd thought of the question. We had a rather strange relationship for sure. I wasn't just in love with any one of them but it wasn't quite polyamory either...

"Haah? Hell if I know," Ayato shrugged, leaning over to lay his head on my lap.

"Does it matter? You know we all want you," Subaru grumbled, crossing his legs.

"We'll let you be selfish, you lewd man," Shu spooked me by whispering as he placed his chin on my shoulder.

"After all..."
