~Sei troppo prezioso, troppo innocente

~You're too precious, too innocent

♧E.L.L.I.E♧

I couldn't tell what time it was, but Elio, Romeo, and I had been watching reruns of various princess movies. They sat on either side of me, enveloping me in a comforting cocoon of warm muscles and a blend of strong yet sweet scents. My heart felt so full, so overwhelmingly full, that I found myself taking random deep breaths just to keep from being overwhelmed by the emotion.

Marco was gone. I didn't know where he was, but he wasn't home. At least, that's how it seemed. It had been four weeks since I started staying with them, and after the incident two weeks ago, Marco had gone missing in action. I felt guilty because he had argued with his brothers over my inability to stop being an emotional wreck.

My heart shattered every time I thought about the hateful glares he directed at me, making me feel even smaller than I already did. I felt foolish, foolish for making such a big deal out of nothing. Perhaps it made more sense why no one had ever loved me for long.

Deep down, I knew that Elio and Romeo would eventually grow bored and tired of me. I was counting the days as they passed, each one filled with increasing fear. I was terrified that I would mess up again. It was always the little things I did that ruined everything and angered my caregivers. Even though it was too soon to admit it, I was slowly getting attached to these three men... yes, even Marco.

The thought of leaving them or being forced to leave was unbearable. It would be the final straw, and I feared I would completely lose my mind if I were left alone once more. I desperately hoped that wouldn't happen and that I could do something right this time.

Glancing to my side, I saw Elio with his eyes already shut. His head was tilted back, and he snored softly, his mouth slightly open. I couldn't help but smile. He was so handsome that it made me feel a bit naughty just looking at him.

His beautiful blond hair fell over his eyes, and I took the time to take him in properly. He had long lashes that brushed his cheeks and pouty, kissable lips-

Bad Ellie! Bad, bad, bad!

My face turned red, and I looked away in embarrassment. I couldn't believe I had thought that. Oh my goodness! Be gone, thoughts!

Biting down on my lip, I turned to find Romeo's hair brushing my neck. He had his head laid on my shoulder, also fast asleep. They were so adorable when they were out of control. Romeo had his arms wrapped around my stomach, his head resting on my shoulder, snoring softly. Meanwhile, Elio had one hand loosely intertwined with mine.

With a big, fat smile on my face, I turned to the Cinderella movie that had just ended. I giggled softly to myself, feeling overwhelmed. How was I supposed to take in all of this?

Swallowing, I sighed as I felt the need to use the bathroom. The dimmed living room was dark, indicating that it was already late at night. My head turned, and I caught sight of the clock on the wall, which read nine p.m. It was actually my bedtime, but I didn't want to sleep yet. I didn't want to separate from them.
