App Trap (Book One)

ch.7 Sneakers Peakers

No one's P.O.V

The next morning, around ten o'clock a.m, Laney wakes to see the white-haired vampire still asleep next to her. Not wanting to wake him, yet, she slowly but carefully slips out from under the covers. Still dressed in yesterday's clothes she grabs a pair of blue jean shorts and a gray t-shirt. Making her way down to the kitchen she decided she wanted breakfast for everyone. On she arrived in the kitchen, Laney began to make breakfast for everyone. She makes her great grandfather's homemade biscuits with sausage, eggs and a fruit salad that she would eat. To be truthful Laney doesn't like fruit that much. She is almost done with setting up the plates and platters on the dining room table when someone makes himself known.

(???): "Miss Wolfe, what on earth are you doing this early in the morning?"

Laney: "Oh, good morning Reiji. I had a craving for some breakfast food, so I borrowed the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone else as well. I apologize for not asking first, I just didn't want to disturb your sleep."

Reiji: "It's quite alright, mind me assisting with the cleanup?"

Laney: "Of course not, the more the merrier."

Setting the food in the warm oven and fridge, Laney begins to clean the counter while Reiji cleans the dishes.

Reiji: "Why do you associate with that violent brother of mine, Miss Wolfe?"

Laney: "Subaru and I have a lot in common, though you couldn't tell just by looking at me."

Laney pauses before continuing.

Laney: "My family wasn't the 'oh so perfect' family. It was always a struggle for me. My brother was the athlete with high grades while I was the wannabe artist, musician, and chef. After living with my father for a year almost. They told me that my brother was going to be coming to live with us. Once he did, I became the freak of the family. I was made to feel like the scum of the earth. I became depressed and suicidal but I refused my own wishes and became angrier and colder towards my brother, stepmother, and my father."

Laney's eyes were filling with sorrow and hurt.

Reiji: "Do you pity him?"

Laney: "No... I've always admired his ability to convey his thoughts and feelings..."

Laney: "I was unable to show my true thoughts and feelings because no one would hear me. When I told Subaru about my family he listened. He didn't utter a single word, but he never pitied me as others did. I am grateful for that."

The rest of the time they stand in silence until everything is clean. Setting the table everyone slowly walks in.

Time Skip

Zdina: "Hey guys, want to go swimming with me and Laito?"

Macaria: "Sure I'm down, can I bring Ayato? If I don't he'll have a bitch fit..."

Subaru: "Tch... You got that right. Anyways what have you and that moron been up to?"

Macaria: "Well you see..."

Flash Back After Breakfast.

Macaria was about to go get some Reese's chocolates that she had in her bag. As she entered the room Ayato was laying on her bed and there were three crumbled up Reese's wrappers on the floor.

Ayato: "Oi! Ore-sama demands you to give me your blood.

Macaria: "Ayato... Where did you get those from...?"
