Rays of 'sun' poke through the blinds of Tom's room, waking me up from my slumber. For once I'm not sleep deprived, as I stretch before getting out of bed. Tom wasn't anywhere to be seen. 8:36. The time read. I quickly get dressed, throwing on black leggings accompanied by a random shirt and my usual shoes. I skip down stairs only to hear voice silently screaming. Peering down into the living room, there was Ludo's gang. It was just some of his goons that were itching to fight apparently. Marco does a karate kick straight into the leg of one of them, causing them to screech.

"SHHH CAN YOU SCREAM QUIETER, (Y/N) IS STILL ASLEEP YOU JERK." Tom whisper yells at his enemy.

My giggle alerts them to my presence. "Tommy you aren't that good at whispering aren't ya?" I tease him.

"Excuse me for trying to be a gentleman while fighting off intruders." He jokes.

Wand in hand, I point it towards the enemies. "Let me help out a bit!" I say, excited to be able to fight.

I pin my wand close to my chest as I mumble a chant. A light glow appears around me as I release my power. The light around me becomes a rope like material as it nips at Ludo's companions. Then finally it wraps around them to form a huge cuff. They attempt to break through using their own power, but fail since its magic proof.

I smile triumphantly, proud I didn't screw this spell up. Then Star opens a portal and gives them a good kick out of The Lucitor's living room.

"You did good..." Tom touches my shoulder, then leans in close to my ear, "Kitten."

My face burns a dark red at his remark. You kinky son of a-. I cover my face with my hand trying to hide the evident embarrassment on my face. "O-of course I did good. Pfft..what did you expect."

Tom can only laugh at my gloating, squishing my cheeks in the process. I look away. "Why do you do embarrassing things to me." I whine.

"Don't guys usually tease the girl they like?" Tom puts his hand on his chin, pretending to be in thought.

My mind goes blank at his comment. Was..that a confession?! Calm down (y/n). How do I breathe? Why did I stop breathing. My heart is racing out of my chest as this point. I look up at him, my face redder than before.

"I'm just joking." The demon boy says as he puts his hands in his pocket. "Breakfast will be ready in a bit." He walks away, giving a little wave as he does so.

What was that about? He even got my hopes up..geez I really am naïve. I slump my head down, feeling slightly disappointed.

I huff as I decide to go vent to Star. Though I'm not sure where she is. I wander the huge palace, taking in how amazing it actually is. All the black floors are shiny, almost glass-like as they complement the high ceilings. It almost seems like a demonic Beauty in the Beast. I roam until I come upon the door that leads outside to their garden. Opening the doors, I am greeted with the usual black and red roses. Even as s kid, they've always been there, but never this nice.

There I see, Marco and Star, both sitting at a a patio. They look to be having a fun time. Conversing happily back and forth. A smirk makes it way to my face.

"If only Tom would do that with me." A voice mimics mine, which I recognize as Zen.

"When did you become my consciousness?" I joke, oddly in a good mood.

Zen's silver hair is cut short from its normal long strands, his bangs framing his face perfectly. "It's good to get to know my sister-in-law." The demon teases.

"Talk to me again when your salmon roots aren't showing." I taunt jokingly.

"Get use to it kid." Zen smirks. I feel his gaze on me when I look up at him. "My brother may seem like a tease all the time, but he really cherishes people."

I could only look out at the garden, not really saying much. Suddenly arms are wrapped around my waist.

"(Y/n), you should've told me where you went." I hear Tom say. "Are you trying to give me a heart attack?"

I nod, mhmm, as he face palms. Without notice, Tom picks me up bridal style.

"Aww TomTom are you going to carry your big brother too?" Zen begs.

"Lose weight." Tom replies without hesitation as his brother fake cries all the way to the dining room. I can't stop the beating of my chest as it's pressed against his.

"I can walk on my own—."

"Nope. If I put you down your going to run away again." Tom utters.

The walk there felt long as we didn't really say much, but I too, could feel his heart beating rapidly. Though..I'm not sure if it's love or if I'm too heavy for him ¯ \_(ツ)_/¯
