Step Brothers

Morning Lu~

I sat up with a gasp and drenched in cold sweat. What the hell was that dream? 

It was unlike anything I've ever experienced before. Everything about it just seemed so real even though I know it's not. I mean...their touches...their scents...the feeling of being bitten into- marked. It was amazing. It made me feel a connection, even if they're just figments of my imagination. Surely it couldn't be a sign for something. There's nothing meaningful about dreams except that it's juts something your mind makes up. I've just never had a dream like that though. It put me at a loss of words. 

I didn't know who those people were...but it felt nice being around them. That's all I know. It was probably just my brain trying to make up some scenario where I had actually found my Mates or something dumb like that. 

With a small sigh, I threw the covers off of myself and got out of bed. I needed to get ready for the day. Even if I'm not planning to go anywhere, there's no way I'm going to be in my pajamas around the quads. That would just be plain weird.

I make my way over to my closet and pulled out my clothes. Just a plain t-shirt with some skinny jeans with rips in them and my jean jacket. Nothing too special.

I brought my clothes into the bathroom and began getting ready. I was kind of nervous to face the quads, but I'm not really sure why. Maybe it was because of how awkward everything was at dinner yesterday. I mean...Keaton was literally touching me while I was sitting next to my own mother! How could things not be awkward after that?

After I had done my shower and everything else I needed to do, I put on my clothes and finished cleaning myself up. I fixed my hair up, brushed my teeth and overall made sure I didn't look like a hobo. 

When I finished, I left my bathroom and put on some socks and shoes. 

I couldn't help myself as I examined my room for a moment, looking around at how bland everything was. Maybe I should start putting stuff away today and making it look more like 'my room'. I know if I didn't do anything about it, mom would walk into the room and probably force me to make everything more personalized. She wants me to just feel as comfortable living here as she does. I don't think I can get to that point though. 

I hesitantly left my room and shut the door behind myself. I started making my way down the hallway and to the staircase. I wonder if anyone else is up. Probably...my mom wakes up early and I would assume Akillina does too. I don't know about the quads though. 

Once I was downstairs, I noticed mom and Akillina sitting on the couch together watching TV. Akillina had her arm around mom and mom was leaning into Akillina with a small smile across her lips. The Mate Bond is sure something else. 

Mom noticed me and gave me a warm smile. "Good morning Lu, sleep well?" She asked and I nodded my head.

"That's good, if you're hungry there's stuff in the kitchen, the quads usually just make themselves breakfast so feel free to go through anything." Akillina smiled kindly at me and I nodded my head once again.

I maneuvered my way to the kitchen where I saw Grant and Marshal standing at the kitchen counter. Both with their shirts off and in pajama pants. Marshal's hair was all over the place while he had this kind of angry look across his face. Grant's hair was flattened against his face and he had this sleepy look, like he was still sleeping as he was doing other things. Marshal was grumbling and kept elbowing Grant out of the way, Grant only returned the favor. Kind of comical...I have to admit that. 

Grant noticed me first and his eyes instantly lit up. "Morning Lu~" He chirped. I noticed his tail was flicking back and forth. It was as if he were a dog, but clearly he's just a dragon with a dog's personality. What got me even more was the fact that he called me Lu, the name my mom usually only uses as well as some of my friends. "I like that name! It's cute! Now don't be a stranger! Come here!" He quickly motioned his hand.
