Sitting on the steps leading up to the house, you were looking at the garden Yuma had showed you yesterday. With the events of what happened that day still on your mind, you had gone here hoping to get to be alone with nature for a while, to clear your head. In the end, you had to tell him exactly what had been going on all that time, why exactly you had the terrible scars that you did and the reason to you being so quiet. Although, the answers were rather simple. You had been forced into prostitution at the age of twelve. The scars were made as a result of this, majority of them with a whip of some kind, but som with rope, and one even with a fork. And as for being quiet, that was a habit you had picked up there. It didn't take a long time there to make the connection that protesting or screaming only made most of them angrier.
But, despite having told him all about every dark part that you could bring yourself to mention about your past, he still didn't seem to have changed his behavior around you. This morning, he came into your room and woke you up, telling you to get down for food, just like any other day. You had actually expected him to react more than he did, to think less of you, but he didn't. And it didn't seem as if he had told any of the others, even though he had been quick as the wind to inform the others that you weren't Eve. Whatever his reasons for doing this, you had to admit it was appreciated.
You were suddenly snapped out of your thoughts by a pair of arms wrapping around your torso from behind. You jumped a bit in surprise at that action, but not even having to think to know who it was you remained calm. "So this is where you've been hiding?" Yuma asked lowly, head nuzzled into your hair. "Yeah, I just really like the atmosphere out here" you admitted, looking out over the quiet garden. "I guess that makes two of us. Mind if I join you?" he said, and seeing as he got no answer he took that as a green light to go ahead and sit down.
"Thank you for not telling the others" you said quietly, looking down at your lap. "Huh? That's not something I have the right to tell them. Who gets to know about your past is your business, I'm just glad you trusted me enough to tell me" he said calmly, looking at you with with a sincere expression, that made you blush ever so slightly. "W-well, thanks anyway. And if anyone deserved to know, it's you" you say, pulling your legs towards your chest and resting your forehead on top of your knees.
Suddenly, his arm snuck its' way around your shoulders, and his hand then rested high up on your arm. Then, to your surprise, he used that arm to pull you up on his lap, facing to his side. His other arm then also made its' way around you, together with his other arm pulling you closer to his chest. Not really minding the sudden cuddling, you simply rested your head on his chest and took one of his hands in yours, intertwining your fingers with his. You could then feel him rest his head on top of yours, and you let your free hand snake its' way around his neck, as to hold him still like that.
"Hey Yuma... Oh, sorry, am I interrupting something?~" The sudden sound of a voice made the two of you pull apart from the cuddling position, and you soon realized what it must've looked like for the male who had just walked in there. "What do you want, Kou?" Yuma growled, sounding a bit more irritated than you had expected him to. "I'd like to have a word with you in private before I head to work, if you don't mind" he said with one of those smiles that probably made his fangirls go crazy. Realizing you were most likely in the way, you quickly stood up. "I'll be in the living room" you say quietly before walking back inside.
"What's your relationship with that girl, Yuma?" Kou asked once he was sure you wouldn't be able to hear their conversation anymore. "She's a childhood friend of mine, why do you ask?" he answered, not really wanting to discuss this right now. Not that he had any problems being honest about his feelings with his brothers, it was more a matter of not being able to figure out his own feelings at the moment.
"I had already figured that much out myself. What I want to know is if you've made a move on her yet" Kou answered with a smirk, before going over to his brother and hugging him. "Come on, my little brother is finally showing interest in a girl! Give me some details!" he then cheered as he, much to Yuma's annoyance, patted his head. "Get off me, will ya?! And, no, I haven't "made a move on her" and I'm not going to" Yuma responded angrily while pushing Kou off him. "Whaaat? Oh, come on, don't be like that~ It's obvious you like her, so just tell her how you feel already! Want me to give you some flirting tips?~" Kou then pestered, only getting Yuma even more annoyed.
"Mind your own damn business!" Yuma yelled, once again pushing Kou out of his face that had now started turning a slight shade of pink. He then turned around, preparing to walk back inside. "Besides, how I feel about her doesn't really matter" Yuma said dejectedly before starting to walk, leaving Kou more confused than he was before he even approached Yuma to begin with. 'What is that supposed to mean? Why wouldn't his feelings matter?' Kou thought as he watched his brother leave.
Back inside the house, you had sat down in the livingroom couch, just like you told Yuma you would. In that room were also Azusa and Ruki, minding their own business, not really seeming to care that you joined them. After having waited a few minutes, Yuma walked in, looking as if the conversation with Kou had completely drained him of energy. Once his eyes landed on you, he quickly made his way over to the couch you were sitting in, before laying down in it with his head on your lap.
Your face lit up in a million different shades of red at his actions while you simply watched him questioningly. "Could you feed me?" he asked with closed eyes as he brought out a jar filled with sugar cubes from his pocket. Not even sure you heard him correctly, you simply continued looking confusedly at him. With a small sigh he half-sat up and took out a sugar cube from the jar and placing it in your slightly open mouth. As he did, you felt his fingers brush against your lips, which made your face become even redder, if that was even possible.
"It's not like I'm asking much, I'm just tired" he said quietly, and the whole scene seemed to have attracted the attention of the other two males in the room, who were both watching you closely. Yuma then place the jar in your hands before laying back down in your lap and opening his mouth, both eyes closed. Your gaze nervously shifted between the male in your lap and the jar in your hand before you hesitantly took one sugar cube out of it.
Slowly, you brought your hand closer to his open mouth. You stopped right before your fingers touched his lips and let it go. Much to your dismay, you had managed to brush your fingers against his lips when letting go of the sugar cube anyway and you hoped to god that he hadn't noticed. After having swallowed it he opened his eyes and smiled weakly at you. "See? That wasn't so hard, was it?" he said calmly, before once again closing his eyes and opening his mouth, signalling you to give him another one.
"Eve" The sound of Azusa speaking made you turn your attention toward the door, where he as well was looking. There stood Yui, who you hadn't been seeing to much of lately. Well, except for during meals, that is. "U-um... Where's Kou-kun?" she asked shyly. Not really sure why exactly she would be looking for him you stayed silent. "You need him for something?" Ruki asked, speaking up for the first time in a while. "Uh, no, it's nothing like that..." she began, only to be cut off by the male resting in your lap. "Kou is at work right now" he explained shortly, sounding somewhat irritated yet again.
"Work?" she asked, as if it was completely unexpected that one of them had a job. "Eve, are you concerned about Kou?" Azusa asked, having made his way over to where she stood. "No, I was just wondering where he is, since I haven't seen him around" she said, sounding almost nervous, before leaving again. 'What's up with her?' you thought to yourself as you watched the door, before feeling a slight tug on your sleeve.
Looking down at the person who did the tugging, you see him look up tiredly at you, before opening his mouth slightly. This whole action made you start giggling while you quickly gave him another sugar cube. This in turn earned you surprised glances from both Ruki and Azusa, who had not once heard you laugh, or even seen you with a smile on your face before. As a response to their surprised faces you simply gave a warm smile, and you could've sworn you saw the two males blush at that.
