guarded by ghouls [g.b.c.]

thirteen.

"my ghouls, come outside please." papa beckoned as ifrit and i walked into the common room.

i looked at all the ghouls staring at me, smiling at all of them.

"hey. how are you guys feeling?" i asked. mountain's eyes widened in surprise as well as aether's. i simply got stares of shock from swiss, rain and dew.

"ey! outside!" papa called, sticking his head back through the door. mountain nodded hastily, dragging swiss up with him as aether got dew and rain out of the room.

on their way, dew and rain stared at me, their jaws somewhat slack.

"what's up with them?" i asked, turning to ifrit. ifrit chuckled, shaking his head. "i have no idea."

i shrugged, looking back to the common room, seeing three other ghouls.

"alpha, omega!" i smiled, walking over and hugging the two ghouls as they stood up. both the older ghouls looked at ifrit, confused and somewhat in shock as they hugged me back. ifrit just shook his head, holding his finger to his lips.

in doing so, he noticed the third ghoul in the room.

"chair? what are you doing here?" ifrit asked as i pulled away from the hug, looking at the new ghoul in the room.

chair..? what kind of name is that? i thought.

chair simply shrugged, standing from the couch and walking out of the room.

omega chuckled, sitting down on the couch that nobody really uses anymore, alpha and ifrit doing the same.

i sat on the arm of the couch i always sat on with the ghouls, talking with the older generation while waiting for the new one to come back in.

after a couple minutes, rain was running through the doorway over to me.

i smiled, expecting rain to stop but was quickly caught off guard as rain crashed into me, hugging me tightly as he sighed into the crook of my neck.

dew was quick to run into the room tackle me in a hug as well, holding onto both rain and i as i was practically squeezed to death.

"what's wrong? are you both okay?" i asked, hugging the two ghouls back. dew just sighed shakily as rain nodded into my neck, both of them hugging me even tighter.

aether, swiss, and mountain walked in quickly, hurrying over to the group hug and surrounding me.

i looked over rain and dew's shoulders to alpha, omega, and ifrit, confusion obvious on my face.

the just shook their heads, waving at me before walking out of the room with subtle smiles on their faces.

as i brought my hand to the back of rain's head and brought my other to grip dew's shoulder, i felt all of the ghoul's tails wrap around some part of me, all of their breaths falling into sync as we all relaxed into the hug.

after a few minutes i felt myself start to wobble slightly from almost falling asleep, feeling mountain chuckle against my back as he rested his chin on the top of my head.

"who's bed is the biggest..?" mountain asked. as everyone slightly pulled away they all looked at me. i smiled tiredly, "sleepover?"

i laughed happily as mountain set me down right in the middle of the bed, rain immediately jumping on the side closest to the wall and snuggling up to me.

mountain laid down on my other side, dew climbing on top of me, swiss laying above my head and letting me use him as a pillow as aether climbed over everyone, laying next to rain and wrapping his tail around my ankle.

i smiled, hugging dew back as mountain held me close to him, both him and rain snuggling into my neck as aether got a swiss a pillow, sharing said pillow with the multi-ghoul.

we all mumbled quiet 'goodnight's to each other, the room becoming silent besides our soft breathing.

dew, rain, swiss and i were quick to fall asleep, aether and mountain making sure everyone was out before they fell asleep.

after about an hour, the door to y/n's room opened slowly, ifrit, omega, alpha, chair, and papa all peaking in. papa smiled at the scene, picking up the polaroid camera on y/n's desk and snapping a picture of all the sleeping creatures in the bed.

ifrit and alpha dug around for a blanket as chair adjusted some limps that looked uncomfortable and slightly out of place.

omega simply stood near the door, making sure everyone in the hallway was being quiet.

once the two older ghouls found a big enough blanket, they unfolded it and worked together to drape the blanket over everyone in the bed.

dew hummed lowly, snuggling closer to y/n which made everyone in the bed slightly adjust how they were laying.

"do you think they'll be okay..?" ifrit whispered, backing away from the bed and standing next to papa.

"they'll be fine. they all love y/n very much and she loves them just so, maybe even more than they love her.." papa started as omega, alpha and chair all walked out of the room. "until she's ready to work through the memories of the moon.. everything will be fine.." papa sighed, a tired smile on his face. ifrit nodded slowly.

"but you'll call us back if anything goes wrong, right?" ifrit asked hastily after a moment or two. papa laughed softly, nodding and escorting the fire ghoul out the room, softly closing the heavy door as the fourth papa walked out.

just fine....
