App Trap (Book One)

Ch. 23 Explanation

Once home they put Laney up in her room with Macaria watching over her with Yui in the room as an attendant as well.

Zdina: "I need to talk with Subaru, Laito, Ayato, and Shu. This is an important matter that needs to be discussed."

Living room

As they followed her to the living room, Zdina sat down in a blue arm chair. As she waited for them all to sit she kept trying to think of ways to explain the information to Laito and Ayato. Once the boys were seated, Zdina turned her attention to the white-haired boy who seems to have worry expression.

Zdina: "Subaru what do you feel toward my Onee-sama?" He seemed to be taken surprised by this question.

Zdina:*sigh* "What I am saying do you love her unconditionally."

Subaru: "Yes, but what does that have to do with anything?"

Zdina: "It has a lot of things to do with her as well as Macaria and me." She said giving off a serious expression.

Laito: "What do you mean Tenchi?" He said giving a confuse expression.

Ayato: "Yeah what do you mean?" He said tilting his head.  She turned her eye upon shu who was fully awake.

Zdina: "Shu you know don't you? and it's alright Laney told me to tell you can tell them and just in case you don't, believe me, she wrote a letter." Pulling out an envelope she handed him a letter and he read it quickly. Sighing Shu placed the envelope on the coffee table before he continued. Shu looked at every and cleared his throat.

Shu: "All three girls have been cured by him with a spell unless they marry one of us they will die a painful and agonizing death, but you knew this already didn't you, Subaru?" Subaru nodded slowly with a bit guilt in his eyes as Shu narrowed his eyes at him.

Zdina: "Then why haven't you proposed to her yet? Do you know the deadline is in five days... Subaru do you want to lose her."

Subaru: "No. I don't-"

Zdina: "Then what! Subaru you are the only one who can do anything. I can't  protect her or help her!"

Shu: "Subaru...Do you care for Laney?"

Subaru:" yes-"

Laito: "Then don't let her go if you cherish that much, little brother." Suddenly Macaria teleported to the living.

Macaria: "Hey guys, Laney is awake, but Subaru...You need to see her first. But I have to agree with Zdina if you love her the put a ring on it." Subaru blushed as teleported away.

Laney p.o.v.

As the darkness slowly unraveled around me, I heard voices and the shuffling feet. Once I regained my vision I saw Subaru with a sad expression. Slowly reaching  my hand up to his check. Leaning in closer Subaru wrap his hand around mine which was presses against his cheek.

Laney:" I'm so sorry that I worried you and-"   Before I can explain more his lips were pressed against mine. I was stunned by this at first but I melted into his kiss as always. When he parted from me, I stared straight into his ruby red eye as he was know hovering over me. Our face only centimeters apart from one another.

Subaru: "Shut up...Don't you ever throw yourself into danger like that again! You got to promise me." He said as he placed his forehead against mine. Giving him a gentle smile, I nodded.

Laney: "I promise, I won't ever scare you like that again."

Subaru: "Tch... I-I wasn't worried...I-" I kiss his lips caused him to blush like crazy but eventually he melted into it as well.
