Sealed Emotion

Bare with me here, I primise there won't be any more seals to break... or will there? (Muahahaha) anyway, HAPPY READING! ❤️

Ume

"What do you mean, Yuzu?" My daughter said she didn't think there were just two. 'Did she place more than one? No that's impossible she was so young. One seal even with her power, at that age is unheard of, and she thinks she did more than one?'

I watched Yuzu carefully as though she were gathering what she wanted to say. "I don't exactly know, and being honest I didnt do it intentionally. Nor did I even think about it until papa said he saw the first one break. It just got me thinking.. Mama if it's possible to seal powers, and possible to seal memories... could emotions be sealed as well?" My mouth gaped open, "yes Yuzu.. it's entirely possible, but does that mean.. are you suggesting that you sealed your emotions as well? Cause I don't think that you did, you've always been a happy child, I could always tell what you were feeling, angry, happy, or sad. I always knew."

"But," my daughter started talking, "Mama I actually never have been truly sad about something. Think about it, I always managed to turn situations around and make them okay and I think that's because I never learned what it felt like to be sad. I didn't know how to feel in those situations, so I made them into something I knew how to feel about." She had a point, she always did manage to find a bright side to something, I just thought it was her positive attitude towards life but, this made sense.

"That does make sense Yuzu darling but... how did this second seal of yours break and where was it? Cause like I said before, I didn't feel anything when I sealed you, and one seal is possible to miss but two? It seems unlikely, and the power that would take is unbelievable, no one has ever placed two seals and not been in agonizing pain. Most people would end up dying, or in a Permanent coma." Yuzu sat there and we all watched her think.

"I think the seal in my brain was the second I placed actually. I was sitting on my bed and after I started glowing that night my heart got heavy, then came the feeling in my head. I think I sealed my sadness first then my memories. That's how I survived, I couldn't remember the exhaustion or the first seal, and it was right after that the third was placed by you mama." I couldn't help but be amazed by my girl, she had more power than I thought. "Okay but how did the seal on your heart break?"

Mei stepped forward and sat beside Yuzu, "I died. That's how the second seal broke, right Yuzu?" My daughter nodded. 'Ooh, I forgot that happened, it seemed so unreal since Mei is right in front of me alive.' I thought

"That would make sense.. the strongest form of sadness.. is loss of your true love. That could also explain why the third seal breaking hurt so bad, it was the exhaustion catching up to you from when you placed them." I stated my thoughts out loud.

Shō pipped up from across the room, "the only thing left to explain is how your minds got connected so deeply, that you can hear your thoughts and evidently share memories with each other." I smiled at him, 'This is easier to answer' I glanced from him to our daughters and said, "Well that's easy, there's two parts to how that's possible. The first, it's the same answer as before, true love. And the second part, would be Yuzu healing Mei. When Yuzu healed her the bands of colour encased them together, combining them mind and soul. I can only assume that their connection is deep enough that not only thoughts, but memories can be transferred between the two." They both blushed and held hands. I looked at the time, 'oh dear it's late.'

"We should all go back to bed, it's late and you two still need to rest from earlier tonight. I want you both to sleep in tomorrow, it's the weekend so it'll be okay." We all headed to bed for the second time that night. Just before I fell asleep, I couldn't help but ponder their connection, 'I wonder what else they can do now, thoughts, memories.. could there be anything else transferable? I guess we will find out.'

Mei

Yuzu and I headed into our room and I climbed right back into bed, while she fiddled with her phone. 'What is she doing?' She stopped and turned, "sorry Mei I'm just turning off my alarms."

I laid there silently as she started settling into bed, she laid down beside me, both facing away from each other when suddenly I heard her thoughts, 'I wonder if Mei would let me hold her.'

"Yuzu," she turned to face me, "will you hold me while we sleep? I feel a bit cold." Yuzu turned over and then paused, "Mei did you hear my thoughts again?" I chuckled, "if I say yes does that mean you won't cuddle me?"

'Damn it, I need to control my thoughts. God that's embarrassing.' Yuzu was upset? Why?

"Yuzu, just because you thought about it doesn't mean I don't want to be held even without you wanting to ask. I told you already, I love you, and I came back to be with you. I do understand if you don't want to move too fast but I'm not going anywhere." I stated to her, but she still turned away. I laid down now upset myself cause I really did want to be held, then an idea came to mind. I focused on her and pushed an image into her mind.

Yuzu

Mei and I were laying down together facing away from one another. Suddenly I felt her shift on the bed and poke me in the back with her hand, so I turned around to face her laying on my back. "What can I do for you Mei?"

She didn't say anything, she shifted again and climbed on top of me leaning down to kiss me.

Slowly she moved from my lips to my neck and started slowly grinding her body against mine, "Mmh, M-Mei! What are you doing?"

"Showing you how much I want you, Yuzu, to be with you. I need you to believe me. So I'm going to prove it." Ripping open her shirt she grabbed one of my hands and placed it on her breast, and grabbed the other hand and placed it between her legs, she felt wet. "Do you believe me now?"

I gasped and sat up as the image in my head disappeared, I turned towards Mei, I could only slightly see the left side of her face in the moonlight from the window, but she was blushing.

"You're not the only one with those thoughts Yuzu, I'm restraining myself here but if I dont get cuddles I will bombard your dreams with my fantasies." I blushed as I moved towards her and wrapped her in my arms.

"Goodnight Mei, I missed you. I'm sorry for denying you cuddles." She sighed in my arms, "Goodnight Yuzu, I missed you too." We stayed silent and slowly I felt myself falling asleep.

Seconds before I drifted off into slumber I heard one thought from her.

'I love you, Yuzu.' I smiled as I fell asleep.
