It has been a few days since the party and Reinhardt watched as Rex and Lumine got closer. The young man looked comfortable, not the tired visage he always carried with him, but a look of relaxation as he took a sip of his coffee.

"Hmm?" Elysia let out as she looked at him, dressed in one of the oversized pink shirts she got him. Reinhardt said nothing as he looked at his girlfriend. Yes, his girlfriend. He finally got the courage to confess to her last night after sorting his thoughts. 

"Nothing, just can't believe you're my girlfriend," Reinhardt said as he set his cup of coffee on the coffee table in his study. He had been so busy with work and caring for his sibling that he did not think he would have a love life, coupled with hundreds, if not thousands, of rejections. 

"Why? Not much will change, I mean... we were already acting like a couple before," Elysia said with a smile. "Well, I might be more territorial from now on," Elysia admitted as she looked at him with a grin. 

"Like you aren't?" Ren teased, remembering an event involving a certain scientist that made Rex's prosthetics, a good friend, but lacking in many social interactions. It was a miracle he made it out alive... well, he was princess-carried by a smiling Elysia, in contrast to the damage she caused. 

"Hmph," A pout appeared on his girlfriend's face. 

"What's wrong you big baby?" Reinhardt teased as he watched Elysia give him a playful glare. Elysia glared at him more before laughing, glad to have her best friend and boyfriend back. Back to when he was so carefree, like this. 

Standing up, Elysia went over to him and sat on his lap as she wrapped his arm around her. 

"Rein, we have an order and..." Rex opened the door while holding a clipboard and saw Elysia, dressed only in an oversized pink shirt and the carefree and a bit dumb look on his brother's face. "Finally... shit... I owe Lumine dinner," Rex closed the door and left, making Reinhardt shake his head. 

"You know, I think if things go smoothly, Lumine will have Rex around her fingers," Elysia whispered to her boyfriend who just chuckled. 

"Like you?" Reinhardt asked as she looked at him with a nod. 

"Good boy," Elysia said as she kissed his jaw tenderly and lovingly.

Rin was a good and happy girl. Dressed in casual clothes, she carried her bag with her as she, her sister Sakura, and Sakura's girlfriend arrived in front of the Crozzo manor. They saw Rex, the youngest of the Crozzo three sparring with Aether using swords. 

She use to have a crush on Reinhardt but grew out of it and instead saw him as a true older brother just as she sees Reve and Rex. She would have loved to be related to him but sadly, her sister seemingly hated Rein. Still, she trusted him with her sister so that must mean something, right?
