Y/N's pov

He looks me in the eyes. I've never seen Douxie look so serious before.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Are you alright, have I done something wrong?" I ask, quite scared.

"Y/N..." he takes my hands, "I love you, and I'm terrified." I look into his eyes, they are swelling up with tears.

"Trouble follows me wherever I go. 700 years ago, you nearly died because of me."

"But I'm here now, aren't I?" I give a weak smile as he pulls me into a hug. I feel at home in his warm embrace. Instinctively, I lean my head on his chest. We hear music from a restaurant near us and he holds out his hand.

"May I have this dance, my love?" he asks, bowing. I, graciously, take his hand and he swirls me toward him. With my head on his shoulder, we dance the night away.

Douxie's pov

I rub my eyes and look down to my side. Y/N is already up, and smiling at me. Her smile is so warm and welcoming. She reaches up, booping my nose. Tears fill her eyes.

"Hey, it's alright, I'm here," I say, pulling her in.

"I saw a vision..." she says through silent sobs, "Merlin, died, and you died too."

"You've nothing to fear, I'll never leave you." I stroke her hair. It's so soft. She reaches for my hand and I help her up. "I'll walk you to school."

Y/N's pov

I wave to Douxie as he leaves me at school. When I'm at my locker, Kayden walks up to me.

"Hey beautiful," he leans against my locker.

"Shove off, Kayden," I reply.

"Look, I said I'm sorry," he says. I can hear the anger in his voice.

"Sometimes sorry doesn't cut it! You lost your chance! I hate you! And I'm sorry it took me so damn long to realise that," I shout at him. All heads are facing us now. Kayden raises his fist.

In a flash, everything happens at once. Kayden's fist comes down just as Douxie steps in front of me.

"DOUXIE!" I rush to his side. "KAYDEN WHAT THE HELL!?"

I feel the anger fill up inside me. Immediately, storm clouds form above. I feel my eyes lighting up. No, this can't happen now. I feel Douxie slip his hand into mine and, as I calm down, the storm clouds slowly move away.

Claire's pov

Okay, there's definitely something up with my sister. Storm clouds? Red eyes? Douxie's hand!?

When we arrive home, I take her to the couch and sit her down.

"Alright, I know there's something going on. Spill!" I say, sternly. And so she tells me everything.

Time skip

"Oh. My. GOD!" I scream. "That's all true!? And we're not really related?" 

"No-" Y/N replies, "And, you're the only one who's had a reaction I expected, Jim didn't really care." She lets out a nervous laugh.

"And, you and Douxie?"

She nods, slowly. I pull her into a hug. 

"You know you can tell me anything!" I tell her.

"Of course." she replies.
