4. The beginning of that darkness

"They were up late eliminating those things mom. Give them time." asks Julieta.

Alma ignores her, walking towards the guest room. It's late, Riku and Sora haven't left despite the time and that they should have breakfast to solve the problem. She doesn't bother knocking on the door and her expression exposes great surprise at what she finds. She is ready to give a scolding and wake them up as well as her grandchildren and as well as her children in her time.

However, what she finds is that Riku is on top of Sora, kissing him. Both luckily clothed, just kissing. Alma's surprised gasp makes Sora open his eyes and pull away from Riku in haste and embarrassment, his face red with shame.

"Nono wai-"

Julieta, Pepa, Felix, Agustin and Isabela peek in to see what's going on, the whole group stunned by the way Riku continues to insist on the kiss. He's more asleep than awake and just for that reason, he hasn't stopped. Although if he were fully awake, he wouldn't care either. They are just kissing.

And even if they were doing something else, why should he care! They were given this room and what little privacy that means. They shouldn't open it without touching at the very least. Sora slaps him to get him to react and leave him alone.

"RikuRikuRikuwakeup- Riku!" he exclaims in hisses and the silver-haired man just lifts his head, his face tight and sulking.

"I can't believe it!" stammers Isabela. Mirabel turns red at the sight of him, Luisa's eyes widen; Camilo gives naughty giggles and Dolores lingers with a hand on her cheek. Sora wants the house to swallow him up. At that it falls that...

"CASITA HELP ME PLEASE!"

The door to the room closes and Sora covers his face with his hands, Riku asleep on his chest and even drooling a little. What a shitty morning. It hasn't even finished starting and it's already crap .

. . .

"The food is really tasty." says Sora with strained, shy smile. Juliet smiles back with a friendlier smile.

"Thank you Sora Did you rest well?"

"Yeah, sort of."

Riku nods as he eats. He's still very sleepy and isn't too aware of the bad looks he's getting. Mirabel isn't surprised, just a little embarrassed to have seen something that looks so intimate. Even her parents don't kiss like that. She assumes they do it in private.

Reactions vary. Between amused from Camilo, Dolores and Félix, neutral and even confused from Luisa, Agustín and Pepa; normality and even tenderness from Julieta, ending in pure suspicion and dislike from Alma and Isabela.

"I have to ask you two not to do anything like that in my house again." That's all Alma says about it.

"Do what, the same thing as you...?"

Sora covers Riku's mouth, knowing he'd say something too out of line. Camilo chokes on his food, unable to stop himself from laughing horribly and his appearance from varying messily. It's very obvious what Riku was planning to say. Fortunately, only Camilo, Dolores and Isabela have the malice to assume it.

"I-it's okay. We didn't think it would bother you," Sora says nervously. "We found the source of what's going on! Yesterday. We're planning a way to eliminate it."

"Good. I hope it will be soon. I don't want people like you in my home."

Just when I thought nothing else could go wrong.

"I told you it's frowned upon here and yet le come la boca al novio. Now that's having no respect for anything." Scoffs Camilo walking next to Riku who is still sulking. He could barely process what happened earlier.
