TWO WEEKS LATER

Y/n's POV

Two weeks had gone past since I and Mattia had gotten together. Every night, he would lock his door, and come over to my room, falling asleep with me and then returning to his room in the morning. 

None of us managed to sleep without the other. A week ago we decided to try to sleep separately, but it didn't even take Mattia 10 minutes to come over to my room.

At the same time as I loved all the affection, it scared me how addicted we were to each other. 

What would happen if we one day lost each other?

~*~

I had just pushed Mattia out of my room and was currently getting dressed when Amber knocked on my door, telling me that our parents wanted to talk to all of us downstairs. And by all of us, they meant me, Mattia, Amber, Ale, and Kairi.

Confused by their requirement to see us, I quickly got done and made my way downstairs.

I entered the living room and took a seat beside Kairi. Everyone was here, waiting for our parents to convey their message to us. Our parents were sitting across from us, talking in hushed voices, occasionally glancing over at us.

Weird.

Around me, I noticed Kairi, Amber, and Ale exchanging looks, purposely ignoring to look at me and Mattia.

What was going on?

Before I could ask any of them why they were ignoring us, Gian cleared his throat, catching everyone's attention.

"Kids", he started, looking at every one of us before his eyes rested on Mattia, "we have some news. Before we tell you, we want you to know that we will listen to whatever you guys think about this situation. Ok?"

We all nodded our heads at what he had said, and then he looked over at my father, signaling him to continue. 

"What we are going to tell you applies mostly to our oldest children. As you all know, Mattia and Y/n aren't kids anymore. And neither are you three, but the two of them are older. As parents, it is our job to make sure all of you get married. Since Y/n is 23 and Mattia is 25, we think it's time for them to settle down with someone".

My father's eyes moved over all of us before they stopped at me, taking in my reaction. Keeping my face as emotionless as possible, I didn't let the shock I was currently feeling be visible on my face. 

Praying that Mattia didn't let anything slip, I swiftly glanced over at him to see him already looking at me, an alarmed expression on his face. Before anyone could see us looking at each other, I looked back at my father.

"You guys are marrying off Mattia and Y/n?", Kairi suddenly questioned beside me, making everyone turn their attention to him. He had his gaze fixed on Gian, waiting for an answer.

"We're not marrying them off. Ruby and Emilie suggested that we host a ball, there will be plenty of people there and we're sure both of them will find someone", my father declared before Gian could say anything. 

Swallowing, I let my eyes roam over everyone. Emilie was looking at Mattia and mother was looking at me. When our eyes met, mother gave me a small smile, but I looked away, refusing to return the gesture.

Why would they do this to us?

From the couch where Mattia, Ale, and Amber were sitting, someone cleared their throat. "Considering that it's mine and Y/n's future we are discussing, shouldn't we two decide whether we want to get married or not?"
