Yuma's Rose

The sun rose and it was another new day where the dangers are expected, just like everyday of the human and non human life. As usual, Y/n was first to wake up at the break of down. The air was still quiet and cold. A perfect time to appreciate the silence.

From the tea set Ruki had given as a welcome gift, Y/n made a fresh cup of tea / coffee / hot chocolate. Once it was finished, she sat on her bed and watched the sunrise as she swung her barefeet back and forth.

"Maybe some sugar cubes would taste better," Yuma sat next to Y/n on the bed. He too was admiring the sunrise. Or was he admiring Y/n? He dropped some sugar cubes on her hand. Of course, she ate them immediately.

"Thank you," Y/n said and smiled. "Do you want some tea / coffee / hot chocolate?"

"No thank you," Yuma said and resumed looking at the sunrise. "Oh uh... Good morning,"

"Good morning,"

"I never woke up this early to see a sunrise. Do you do this often?"

"I do it every morning," Y/n said and sipped more of the drink. "I find it peaceful and the sunrise is always different every morning. In the mornings, I take this time to think to myself and just appreciate myself and the things around me. Even the little things,"

"This is nice," Yuma smiled and inhaled deeply, closing his eyes. "I should do this more often,"

"You should. Azusa does it every morning by himself and he says he feels better little by little,"

"He does?" Yuma smiled and laughed out of happiness. "Thats good. Whatever makes him happier to love himself more, then I'm good,"

Yuma and Y/n smiled in silence her right arm gently brushed against his left. Although something about this nature seeing sunrise seemed different, Y/n can't help but feel doubtful about this peaceful morning. There is something she should watch about.

"You know, about Azusa," Yuma began and looked up into the ceiling. "I should tell you this since no one had yet. Azusa had to restart his mind before you had came,"

Yuma hesitated in his words and struggled saying the words out loud. "Sorry... I'm usually straight forward, but not really well when it comes to my brother's wellbeing..."

"Its okay. Take slow, its nice that you care deeply about your brother," Y/n said gently.

"Ah... Thank you," Yuma chucked. "I'll continue. "You see... Before he was a masochist and we gave him some help to guide him away from his past habits. He wasn't really doing well but now he's made progress! Though, sometimes he goes back but its not as bad as before. Now, about the restart there was a price to it. Let's go to my garden, I'll explain from there,"

Y/n and Yuma both got up and walked their way towards the garden. While walking, the air felt tense and unsafe. Y/n looked up to see Yuma to have a regular face. He smiled at her with his eyes also smiling. She looked away quickly and hid her smile. Deep inside, she felt doubt. Not at Yuma, but at the aura around them. Y/n looked at Yuma again to see his faced focused, his eyes remained looking forward. Maybe he tio had the same feeling. At this time, she wished that Henry would be up to date in writing her information that would happen soon. Maybe this was a lesson to not heavily depend on others. Maybe Henry was not supposed to guide her up to this situations. Maybe Y/n should be in control.

Usually, walking in the hallways of this mansion didn't feel as dark no matter what time it is. Something that is lurking within the shadows made Y/n feel off.  When they passed Yui's room, that feeling began to grow stronger.
