◇Expectations◇

□Staying□

Cuddles stood there awkwardly. Watching the two siblings embrace one another.

Cuddles: "...Uhm so.. Your Luka?"

He clearly pronounced Eluca’s name wrong. A bit irritated by his presence...maybe even jealous.

Eluca’d look up at Cuddles, his eyes narrowed a tiny bit at the wrong pronunciation of his name.

Eluca: “It’s Eluca.”

He’d correct Cuddles, saying his name with an annoyed tone.

Cuddles rolled his eyes.

Cuddles: "Right. Right. Sorry. My bad.."

He spoke in a almost sarcastic tone.

After a few seconds of silence, Eluca’d sigh in annoyance, he’d then look back at Cuddles.

Eluca: “…You seem….pissed off by my presence, huh?”

Flaky nudged Eluca’s shoulder slightly.

Cuddles: "No! No! Just..wow.. You two are..so different."

He said, trying to cover the fact he was jealous of their close bond.

Flaky: "Cuddles."

Eluca looked at Flaky when she nudged his shoulder, his ear twitched again. He’d cross his arms as he turned his attention back to Cuddles.

Eluca: “…..Well, obviously.”

Eluca says sarcastically, he’d then look at Flaky.

Cuddles: "Haha... sorry.."

He nervously laughed it off.

Flaky: "Well, can we stay the night?"

Eluca looked at Flaky as she asked for the question, Eluca’s eyes widened a little, he was kinda surprised.

Eluca: “….You’re both staying the night?….”

He’d ask, just to make sure that he heard correctly.

Flaky: "I told Cuddles to book a room in a motel, but he forgot."

Cuddles shrugged nervously & in embarrassment.

Cuddles: "Whoops..."

Eluca’d sigh a defeated sigh. He’d roll his eyes as he looked back at them, crossing his arms once more.

Eluca: “…Come with me. I’ll take you to my home.”

He’d say, turning around as he started to walk away, his tail moving a little in the process. He’d stop and turned his head a little to look behind him and see if they’re following along.

The two followed him. Flaky walked beside Eluca & Cuddles walked behind them.

Flaky: "So...What's it like here?"

While walking, he’d take a few more steps till he answered her question. He’d let out a small hum as he thought about it for a moment.

Eluca: “….Quiet. Really quiet. Almost like a ghost town to me….”

He’d said quietly, his hands is buried in his pockets, his eyes observing the town as they walked by.

Flaky: "Oh. That's nice. Guess it's peaceful here a little, too?"

Eluca’d hum in agreement.

Eluca: “Yes, quite. I do enjoy the silence. It is very much….peaceful.”

He’d say quietly, his ear twitching while he continued to look at the quiet town. They’d suddenly stop walking, and a house appeared in sight.

Flaky & Cuddles stopped & looked at his house.

Flaky: "..."

Cuddles: "Damn. Batman's lar- Ow."

Flaky punched Cuddles in the arm.

Eluca’d look behind him at Flaky and Cuddles, looking at Cuddles as he spoke, as he saw that Flaky had punched him in the arm, Eluca’d cover his mouth, trying to hold in a little laugh, he’d cough and clear his throat, turning his head away as he mumbled.

Eluca: “…..Oh hush, idiot….”

Cuddles hushed up like he was told.

Eluca’d turn away and continue walking again, approaching the front door of the house. As he continued walking, he’d turn his head a little towards them.

Eluca: “…Well, come along.”

He’d say, gesturing them to follow him to the entrance of the house.

Flaky & Cuddle followed behind him as they entered the house.

As they followed him, they arrived at the front door, Eluca’d reach to his pocket, and he’d take a set of keys from it, as he grabbed the keys, he’d turn to Flaky and Cuddles.

Eluca: “….Stay quiet when you enter. I do not want any disturbance.”

He’d quietly say before turning to the front door and unlocking it, opening it for them to enter. Cuddles looked at Flaky because he thought of a joke. Flaky looks at him with 'Don't you dare' look.

A few moments of silence.

Cuddles: "Ya have a boyfriend or so something living with you?"

Flaky: "Cuddles..."

She whispered in a hush tone of annoyance.

Eluca’d freeze a little at the question asked by Cuddles, taking a few seconds to think before he let out a long drawn-out sigh, his ears lowered a bit, he’d look back at them with an exhausted look on his face.

Eluca: “…..No. I do not have a Boyfriend, nor do I have a Girlfriend. I live alone…unfortunately….”

He’d answer the question, sounding very annoyed.

Flaky: "...Hm.."

Cuddles: "Okay."

Cuddles shrugged it off after the answer.

Eluca’d let out another sigh, before looking away from them for a moment, he’d then look back at them.

Eluca: “…Well? Why are you both still standing there? Come on in.”

He’d say as he gestured them to enter his house. Flaky with a sigh, entered & so did Cuddles.
