89. Wild Emotions

A/N - Lemon Warning ^_^

Lucette woke up the following morning in an unfamiliar bed. Looking around, she is confused about where she is. Hoisting herself up on her elbows, she realised where she was. Sighing to herself, she couldn't believe that she forgot where she was. This was Mai's uncle's beach house. Getting out of bed, she walked over to the panel doors, opened them and walked onto the balcony again. Leaning on the railings, she took in the morning air. The smell of the ocean was a blessing. Looking towards the ocean, she could see that the water was sparkling under the early sun, and she was amazed that she could see it from where she was. The island, that she spotted before, was off in the distance. But, as she looked back towards the beach again, she remembered the four figures that she saw during the night. Somehow, she just knew they weren't normal people, but she also knew that she wouldn't get any answers. Pushing it to the back of her mind, she got ready for the day.

Leaving her room half an hour later, she spotted a small group of people hanging around the top of the stairs. As she got closer, she saw that Eros was on the floor with Ichthys attached to his back. She also saw that Mai and Corvus were watching the spectacle.

"Erm, what is going on?" Lucette asked them.

"The morning hug, apparently...." Mai answered her shrugging. "Whatever that is...."

"Don't forget the morning kiss!" Ichthys interjected, and tried his best to try and kiss his victim's cheek.

"Now that is taking it too far! Get off, you oversized rodent!" Eros protested.

"Well, gentlemen... I shall see you later." Mai said, with a wave, and stepped over them to walk down the stairs.

Lucette shrugged in their direction, and followed Mai down the stairs. Both of the girls walked in the direction of the kitchen, and they saw that there was already someone sitting at the counter, reading the newspaper and, as they got closer, they noticed that it was Sanctus.

"Good morning!" Lucette cheerfully told him.

Sanctus peered over the paper at her. "Morning."

Mai strides past them, and starts opening several cupboards. "Ah ha, here we go!" Turning around, she holds up two boxes of cereal. "Which one?"

"Are those boxes of cereal even in date?" Lucette questioned her.

"I....... Guess so....?"

"You guess?"

Mai then checked the labels. "Yep, they're in date! So, which one?" She raised them up again.

"That one!" Lucette pointed randomly at one.

"Excellent!" Mai ducked down behind the counter, and picked up some bowls.

Lucette looked towards Sanctus, who was still reading the paper. "Did you want something?"

"I'm good...."

With that, the girls both ate their bowls of cereal. Sanctus still read the newspaper, turning the page every now and then.

"Oh, Mai! There's something I wanna ask you...."

Mai was drinking the rest of the milk from the bowl, and looked at her. Placing the bowl down, she wiped her mouth with her sleeve.

"Shoot."

"It's about that island that you can see from the balcony of my bedroom...."

"Oh! It's the hot spring island! It's something like a twenty minute boat ride away." Mai leaned in a little. "Don't tell anyone, but I planned for us to go there tomorrow. So bring your best... Y'know.... Suit."
