Wanna Make You Mine.

<Emma. Emmaaaa ~>

<mhh> Ray's voice rang in Emma's ear as she was sleeping.

It was morning now and he was the first to wake up and prepare breakfast with Yuugo, and when he finished he went to wake her up.

Emma, ​​however, turned to the opposite side on the bed, covering herself with the sheet up to her head, letting the usual orange tuft stick out above her head, longer than her other hair.

From an early age, Ray and Norman wondered how it managed to stay always in that position.

He still remembers when Mom tried to cut it when Emma's hair had grown out. the two children could swear they saw her forelock move every time the scissors came close to it.

From that moment Norman and Ray deduced that probably that tuft had a life of its own.

Ray smiled at those memories.
<C'mon Emma make up. Breakfast is readyyy ~>

At those words Emma slowly opened her eyes and slowly turned to the boy.
<breakfast ....?>

<good morning, little angel>

She was still sleepy. She put her hands to her eyes to rub them trying to remember which planet she was on.

Then she turned and looked back at Ray, sitting on the bed next to her.

<Wow. Another morning hallucination of Ray. You look so real this time, you are almost more beautiful than the original!> she reached out to stroke the cheek of what she believed was a hallucination.

<What do you mean "You are almost more beautiful than the original"?!>

<Ray ?! What are you doing here in my room!?>
Emma immediately withdrew her hand

<well..first of all, this is my room and this is my bed.>
he said pointing to Emma
<Second of all, don't you remember? You fell asleep in my arms when you hugged me last night>

<did I?> Emma pulled over
<yes> Ray said crossing his arms

<sorry. I was really tired and- wait. I slept in your bed!?>

<yeah but don't worry I just slept on the floor>

<What, why?>

<What do you mean "why"?> Ray raised an eyebrow

<I mean..we could sleep together. After all we have always done it. Remember?>

How could he forget it?

When they were just little kids, Emma sometimes had nightmares and went to look for him in his room in the middle of the night while she was crying.

Ray certainly couldn't leave her like that.

So he made room for her in his bed, singing Mom's lullaby to her. And then, when she calmed down, they slept together, holding their hands.

Ray smiled and looked at her
<yeah. I remember. But we're no longer kids, and by the way where should I sleep if you literally took up all the space in the bed?>

Emma put a hand behind her head and giggled

<Anyway. You were moaning while you were sleeping. Did you have a nightmare?>

Emma looked at him and thought about the dream.
<I dreamed of Phil. It felt so real. He's waiting us...we have to save him... I ...>

Ray put his hand on her cheek and rested his forehead against hers, humming the song Emma loved so much.

When she calmed down he kissed her forehead
<We'll save him. We will all the other children left at the orphanage. And You're doing great. Okay?>
She nodded wiping her tears.

<and you can't go to save him if you don't eat-> Ray was interrupted by emma's belly rumbling.

<you're right Ray! We'll save everyone!>
Emma smiled at him with her childish ways.
<But first .... breakfast!>

She jumped out of bed, and before leaving the room she stopped, turning to the boy.
<oh. Thank you for always being by my side. I love you, Ray>
With that said she ran to the dining room, leaving Ray in the room, still sitting on the bed staring at the door in bewilderment.

"This girl ..."
he smiled as he followed her.

<Thanks for the meal!>

The children began to eat while Nat attracted everyone's attention by hitting a glass with a spoon.

<guys, we have some news! We did some research on places where to find golden water and a temple like yuugo asked.
The good news is that we have found what we are looking for.
The bad news is that he is in the demon village>

Violet put a finger under her chin
<This might be a problem>

<I have an idea! We can make some demons costume to not be recognized! Like in a fairytale I read!>

<awesome Yvette! Also we can use herbs to disguise the smell of humans> Don said stroking the head of the little girl sitting next to him.

Ray smiled
<Problem solved. Me, Emma, ​​Don and Gilda will go to the demon village. In a group of four people will be easier not to be noticed and to prepare the costumes in a shortest time>

<for the costumes, leave it to us. We will try to hurry up> said Nigel

<I will prepare the herbs you will need> Anna said smiling

Yuugo looked at the children with pride. They were really busy.

<So. The kids who are leaving for the demon village join me and Lucas in the library after breakfast. We have to organize everything in detail. >

The four nodded while Yuugo got up from his chair
<Emma can you come for a moment?>

The girl turned and nodded
<did something happen?> said Ray.

<I don't think so. Maybe he wants to tell me something about the seven walls.>

<do you want me to come with you?>

Emma giggled seeing him so thoughtful and before reaching the adult she left him a kiss on the cheek.
<it's okay, sweety. Don't worry.>

Ray's eyes widened as he watched her leave the room.

However, behind him there were mischievous looks from the children who had remained silent and had seen the whole scene.

When he slowly turned to stare at them, his cheeks were red and the whole family began to scream hysterically.
Ray tried to get up and leave the dining room as quickly as possible but he felt someone grab him by the arm.

<Where do you think you're going, heartthrob?> Violet looked at him with a smirk.
Jemina cheered <Ray and Emma are a couple!>

<W-WAIT ... we don't ... we're not a couple. I think> Ray put a hand behind his neck embarrassed.

It was true. He wasn't sure what kind of relationship they were in. He kissed her, he confessed that he loved her. He also remembered when he gave that hickey on her neck a long time ago

But he never asked that question to her.

"What the hell are we .... am I THAT stupid ?!"

<we want to know everything. Don't leave out any detail> said Nigel , giggling and bringing it to reality

Ray sighed
"Somebody....help me....."

But in all the noise only two people sat in their seats in silence.

Oliver looked at his plate with a sad smile, while Anna looked at Ray in perplexity.
