"I━uh━don't know." Y/n stared at her outfit for the night, unable to come up with words. Takeuchi had decided that you'd borrow one of Ran's hoodies and Rin's shorts. His shorts fit, but Ran's hoodie was still too big for you. No matter how many times you pulled his sleeves up, they slid right back down.

"Nana, is she done yet━" He stopped short. "Oh."

You stood there quietly, messing with one of the strings. "Seriously, why are you standing in the..." Rin also stopped and stared. I want to leave, you thought, sweat dropping.

"Takeuchi-sama..." you wined softly. You flinched, realizing that she wasn't there anymore. She left me!? You internally cried.

"That hoodie makes you look short," Ran commented. A finger under his chin as he examined you from different angles.

"Never seen you out of the uniform," Rin added, mirroring his brother.

"That's my favorite hoodie, too," Ran added, pouting. You frowned, "You can have it back...on second thought, never mind." You clenched the sweater. I forgot that she took my undergarments to wash. Along with my uniform, Y/n thought, internally crying.

"Aw~ why not?" he teased, popping close to your face with a mischievous smirk. You blushed and moved back. Two hands grabbed your shoulders, holding you in place.

"What's the matter, Y/n~" Rin whispered from behind, joining in on the teasing with his brother. "Not you, too," you grumbled. "Aren't you supposed to be the better brother?"

"Sure, but can't I have some fun, too?" he asked, arms wrapping loosely around your waist.

With Ran, up in your face and Rin in the back, you were trapped between the Haitani brothers.

"Young Masters, may I come in?" You sagged in relief, unnoticed to you both brothers frowned at the door. "Yeah, whatever," Rin answers. Both took a step away from you as the butler walked in. "I can breathe again!" you sighed, both hands over your racing heart.

"Geez, Y/n, no need to be so dramatic." Ran chuckled as you flipped him off, he returned the gesture, so you raised both hands. He blinked, unsure how to counter that.

He smirked as he picked his brother up. Rin, atop Ran's shoulders, flipped you off.

You sighed, "Fine, you win."

"What's our reward?" Rin asked, still on top as they followed the butler.

"Reward? Pft,━who said anything about that?" Ran smirked, "Fine, but you still owe us~" "Whatever."

"The Head Maid will show you to your room. Enjoy your stay." The butler bowed and left the trio.

"Boy, off your brother." Rin scoffed but did as she said. "Now, dear, you'll be sleeping in a separate room," Takeuchi said, waving her hand to shoo the brothers away.

"Um, Takeuchi-sama?" She turned to you with a sweet smile. "I don't want to sleep alone, though," you said after a beat of silence. She blinked down at you.

"Are you saying you want to sleep with us!?" Ran asked, pointing at himself and Rin. You nodded, "Not to do...anything bad," you said carefully, eyes never leaving the ground. "I just don't want to be alone."

The brother's shared a look before turning back, frowning. Was the teasing not enough?

They had planned to tease you in order to take your mind off your mother and the phone call in general. Very sweet of them but if you asked, they'd say they were just bored.

A soft hand patted your head, and you looked up. "I understand, dear. I'll get a room ready for you three. And here are the sweets you asked for," she finished, handing you a plate of mochi.

"Thank you!"

"I wasn't expecting you to share those," Rin mumbled. The three were lying side by side on futons, with you in the middle. Takeuchi had long since closed the lights.

"I'm not as mean as you two," you replied, chuckling softly.

"Aw, Y/n~ you hurt my feelings," Ran wined. "The truth...is a bitter thing," Y/n said softly. Your eyes narrowed as you stared at the ceiling blankly.

...

You heard the sheets shuffling to your left. A hand reached over and pulled you to them. "...W-what are you..." you trailed off as he pushed your head into his chest.

"Are you ok, Y/n?" Rin whispered, his hand still behind your head. Your hands were flat against his chest as you pushed back to look at his face. He was already facing you.

His lilac eyes glinted in the moonlight that filtered from the windows. You looked away. It's like he's staring into my soul! "Y/n."

You sighed, "I'm fine━"

"Don't lie," he interrupted sternly.

"Really, I'm a-ok. I've had much worse than a beat-up hand," you reassured. Much worse, you thought quietly.

"No fair, I wanna cuddle and share secrets too~" Ran moved closer and wrapped his arms around your waist. He nuzzled his face into the back of your neck. Sending chills down your spine.

"R-Ran, knock it off," you mumbled. He tightened his grip around your waist. His head moved to your ear. "Don't wanna~" You felt something nip your earlobe, your ears flushing red. Did he just bite me!? "Do you want me to knee you again!?" you whisper-yelled, turning to face him.

Even in the dark, you could see his smirk. "But Y/n~ do you like your mom?" You stopped short. "...What?" you breathed.

"Do you like your mom?" You gritted your teeth, "I heard you the first time. But why are you asking?"

"Don't try to change the topic," Rin muttered sleepily. "I'm not, just curious as to why you're asking."

"We're also curious, that's why," Rindou replied, yawning, right after. Ran sighed good one, Rin! I had no idea what to say to that.

"You're already half asleep, though. Maybe some other day," you replied, getting a bit drowsy as well.

"No. Right now!" You smiled softly, realizing they had said it at the same time. It fell into a frown as you sighed. You let a few minutes pass before working up the courage to answer.

"...No. I hate my mother more than anyone. She cares about no one but herself, anyway. Using everyone like pawns," you answered quietly, half hoping they had fallen asleep. So, they wouldn't hear.

"Would you care if she died?" Ran asked, breaking the silence that had settled.

"Not sure, but she wouldn't if I died." Y/n chuckled darkly. "Unless I was needed in some grand plan of hers. She wouldn't give a flying shit to her own flesh and blood, otherwise."

You felt their grip tighten around your body, and you couldn't help smiling. "But enough about my sad and depressing life. We should go to sleep," you said, curling under the sheets.

They both scooted ever so closer and once again. Y/n L/n was trapped between the Haitani brothers. But it was different this time. It felt warmer. As if you belonged in their arms,

always and forever.
