Yuri p.o.v
Ema is sitting on her bed with July chilling next to her as I'm checking out the pictures I've made. I slowly pass through every pictures, vigorously checking to see if they all came out well. I'm swinging my legs back and forth, still mindful of Lily as she's lying on my back, having it knead with her sharp nails before (thankfully) lying down.
I have changed from my normal clothes into some sleepwear consisting of black shorts with an oversized white shirt with a cute, yellow duck in the middle that Ema got me for my birthday and fluffy socks. I also put my contact lenses into their lens case a few minutes ago and replaced them with oversized glasses that I got because they are funky. All in all, while it was fun and I enjoyed the day, I'm pretty tired."Having family really is so great." Ema sighs softly, like nothing can bring her mood down. I hum absentmindedly as I scroll further through the pictures.
"But this house is a bit rowdy." July chimes in and both Lily and I nod simultaneously in agreement at his words. I rub my feet against each other and bite my lips to hold back some words about some people how they have been acting. We're not siblings (yet) and I'm already dreading our lives together for the next few years. Have I made the correct choice coming back to Japan? Was I too hasty? Or am I judging too harshly and should I just get to know them better?
"Still, it's fun, you know?" She places her hands on her face, a dreamy look appears on her face, "like everyone throwing a lively celebration for a birthday..."I open my mouth to make a comment about the way they've been acting as I look up to face Ema properly, but shut my mouth immediately. She looks... carefree. Happy and elated to have family after a long while. After all, I escaped to America the moment I could do it. I look away from her, a guilty feeling falls over me.
"For your birthdays, Rintarou was away overseas for work most of them, after all." Ema nods a she scratches July behind his ears.
"He still sent me postcards and things, so I have lots of good memories with Dad, too, but I still think having a lively home life like this is great." Lily yawns and mutters a little sharp,
"At least he still send you gifts, I haven't seen anything from Rintarou-san in a while." I freeze up at her words and curse her out in my head for throwing me under the bus like that. I will withhold those donuts from you, Lily. A shudder goes over Lily's spine as if she heard my thoughts. Both July and Ema heard Lily even though she had muttered her words. Ema's hand slowly stops with scratching July as she comprehends the words.
"What is Lily talking about, Yu-chan?" I lick my suddenly dry lips and shrug helplessly.
"It-It's nothing Ema." I can feel the stares of all of the three burning in the back of my head. Though Lily for a different reason than July and Ema.
"Okay, Yuri." She says slowly, "But are you sure? I mean, oh-"
We all turn to Ema at the questioning lilt in her voice and she pats around on her bed, seemingly looking for something.
"My cellphone isn't here." She looks worried as she begins to search around her bed in case it maybe feel off her bed. There's a crease between her eyebrows when she still hasn't found her phone.
"Did you forget it in the living room?" Suggests July.
"Or maybe it is under your blankets or something." Grumbles Lily.
"I'll go l-look downstairs, you can continue o-on here." I stand up before Ema can even protest. "Besides, I'm craving so-some tea." Ema nods, she looks thankful as I open the door. Before the door slips shut, I hear her thanking me.
"Thank you."Third p.o.v
"I would've liked them to make me a cake, too. Especially Yu-chan." Teases Tsubaki as he thinks back to when he wanted to feed Ema. Until Yu-chan ate it instead. Her lips were soft. Man, he will have fantasies about it for sure. The only response Subaru gives is a side glance before he turns back to his drink.
"I suppose." There's a soft ping and he pulls out his phone.'Sender: Natsume'
'Recipient: Subaru'
