"Sin, why are you on my couch?"

Hex was poking me, my cheek collapsing on itself whenever he did so. I mumbled as I was still tired. I moved from under Ruin, sitting up in front of him. A blond servant in a black dress was beside him, holding onto his side. She looked familiar. She had large breasts and a thick body type, but it was proportional and looked good. She was hot but didn't stand out to me. She had a ponytail, the hair going down to her lower back. I was curious about their relationship, but I assumed she was like the other servants. They were all clingy. I assumed... until she gave him a peck on the cheek. Hex blushed, holding onto her.

"Who's that beside you?"

"I asked first. Why are you here?" Hex growled, scowling. Hex started getting aggravated, but the woman rubbed up on him. He calmed down after.

"I came when you were drunk. Ruin and I needed to use your shower. After putting you to bed, I stayed to make sure you were okay."

Hex blushed, realizing I caught him drunk. He put his hand on his face, ashamed.

"That explains the hangover... I don't remember that occurring. All I remember was that I had a few glasses of blood, and the rest is fuzzy."

"So, who's that person hanging on your side?" I questioned, glancing at her. Hex shook his head, his blush fading. Next, he looked over to the woman and to me, the blush reappearing stronger.

"Tifenallow. I call her Fall. She's my-" Hex started, cutting off near the end and appearing embarrassed.

"Go on."

I started feeling nervous. I didn't want him having a relationship yet, as he's thirteen. Well, I told him to act twenty, but he's thirteen. Sure enough, he kissed her on the lips, solidifying my worries. He turned back to me, smiling.

"Yeah... She's my girlfriend. I was going to tell you earlier today, but you blew me off," Hex explained, mellow and content. I didn't know how to react... I just sat in silence, staring in disbelief. "You okay, Sin?"

"Yeah. Just surprised. When did you meet?"

Hex blushed, rubbing his hair. Fall blushed, as well.

"She was one of my servants like Ruin was to you. I was pissed yesterday when you insisted on staying with Ruin. I went home, sitting on the couch. All of my servants were looking after me. I sent them to retrieve blood, and Fall decided to stay to give me company. I was flustered, worrying about the servants hitting on me like you suggested. She sat next to me, trying to make me feel better, but I was nervous. My twenty year old urges acted up, so I wanted to smash my head in. We started talking, and I grew entranced. After, I began drinking, and I went overboard in my anger... I decided I loved her after we kept talking and told her this morning how I felt."

I wanted to feel happy for Hex, but I wasn't sure. I mean, I took a woman. I guess he could too.

"I see. Good for you. Have you decided that you're twenty?"

"Yes. I guess I had to decide sometime. On another note, it doesn't look weird for me to kiss her in my thirteen-year-old form either," Hex merrily mentioned, bending his head down to kiss Fall's cheek. She was about six inches shorter than him, so he had to bend down. I stared. I thought that it'd definitely look weird for my little brother to be with a busty woman in that form. "By the way, where did my servants go? Fall's the only woman that was with me that's still around."

"They continued giving you drinks when you were already inebriated, so I sent them packing. How did Fall stay?" I questioned, as I didn't notice her presence. Fall stepped up, looking at me.

"I blended in with your servants. I didn't want to leave Hex, and it was a better route than that pink dressed slut..."

Fall appeared jealous, pissed at the girl I had to pull from Hex. It makes sense. She was on her man.

"I don't remember seeing you."

Fall appeared confused, looking directly at me.

"You sure? Wait... I wasn't in this form."

Fall's flesh started falling off in chunks, forming into a separate pile. It started building up, while her body started folding up on itself. They started taking form, twins coming into existence. They bowed, standing beside Hex.

"Turn the clock backward. Give back my youth," Hex cast, grinning. He shrunk down, his clothes large on him. He was thirteen again. The twins were on either side of him, both of his cheeks kissed. They held onto one side each. Hex blushed, but he and the two of them looked like they had a pretend romance, like children have. "See. We look normal together. Now we can be together in either form," he commented, holding an arm around each twin and making them move closer to his body.

"The twin thing makes sense. I thought they looked familiar."

The twins looked at me, moving in symmetry.

"We're a single person. It's just-"

"That I have the ability to split. I look younger in-" the left twin said.

"This form, though."

It made more sense for them to be one person instead of two together like I initially thought.

"Why do you switch your voice between the two bodies," I asked as it was a little strange.

"I'm not sure. I have-"

"Control over both of them, so it happens."

I nodded. Hex looked at the twins, kissing the one to his right. They both blushed, pecking his cheeks.

"Turn the clock forward, once again. Take away my youth."

Hex grew back into his clothes, stretching out. It looked strange for him to be with the little girls now. The twins walked to each other, staring into each other. They both took different positions, which freaked me out. They had always made really similar movements. The one to the right moved her arms forward to the other one, while the other held onto them.

I thought they'd fuse, but the left twin ripped off the right twin's arms. She started consuming them, the bone and all, growing in size. She continued ripping apart her twin, who didn't appear hurt in the slightest, eating her bit by bit. Her body continued expanding until she was back to her voluptuous self. Her clothes seemed to have fused together, as her dress was larger than the twins'. Her hair was longer, too. Hex grabbed onto her, putting his lips on her's.

While Hex was kissing Fall, I looked at Ruin. She was still asleep. I was feeling lonely. I moved my vision back to Hex, who had ended the kiss. He was holding onto her, looking happy. I started to feel proud of him.

"So, how old is she?"

Fall looked over to me, wanting to be the one to answer.

"I'm thirty. My twins are each fifteen. I stopped aging around twenty-three."

I gaped, surprised by her age. Hex and Fall have a seventeen-year difference. Ten when Hex is twenty. Fall looked slightly offended by my shock, probably imagining that I thought she was old. Compared to Hex, it was a little old.

"Have you guys done anything other than kissing and hugging?" I questioned, thinking Hex wasn't old enough to go further. Hex and Fall blushed, staying with each other.

"N-No. I'm not ready for that... I need to give it a lot of thought, and I need to make sure I'm going to stay with her," Hex replied, stuttering.

"Okay."

I leaned back onto the couch, lying beside Ruin. I held onto her, encompassed in her warmth. I almost fell asleep, but Hex poked my eye, accidentally blinding me. It healed, but I was aggravated. Hex looked nervous.

"Didn't mean to do that, Sin. You moved, and I stabbed your eye..."

"I swear. You're totally trying to hurt me. First when you broke my ribs, and now when you stabbed my eye," I accused, aggravated because the stabbed eye hurt.

"No. It's nothing like that."

I sighed audibly but forgave Hex. It wasn't really a big deal. I heal.

"Anyway, why are you poking me?"

"You should get up. It's the middle of the day," Hex explained, blank-faced.

"It's a day of relaxation, remember? We'll talk about pressing matters tomorrow. I want to sleep."

"I guess. I'm still sleepy."

"Good."

I closed my eyes, adjusting on the couch. I felt my shoulder jabbed and opened my eyes back up. Hex was still staring.

"What is it, Hex?"

"How much did I drink?" Hex asked, blushing. He was embarrassed, fretting the amount.

"I counted around forty glasses. You kept drinking after that, so likely no less than fifty."

Hex put his hand over his face, ashamed.

"I'm sorry you had to see me like that. I was stressed, and my servants don't always help. They just try to appease me, giving me that which I don't want or need. They force themselves on me, on occasion. I didn't want to offend them, so I kept drinking. More than that, I wanted to block out my anger."

"I don't want you angering yourself with me. Just ignore," I told, feeling bad to have been the cause.

"I can't. I need to make sure you're safe and well. It stresses me out sometimes. I've realized I go overboard when I'm angry, but I didn't want to tell you. It's embarrassing. I haven't been stressed in a while, but I don't have Rintuas to calm me down. He's like a therapy animal."

"You should find another animal, then."

"I will when we go back outside. I honestly didn't think I needed an animal again, but I was wrong," Hex said, frowning.

"Okay. Just try to stay calmed. If you're stressed, we can talk."

"I'll consider that next time. I'm going to sleep if we're relaxing."

"Good. You need relaxation if you're stressing yourself out," I explained, knowing I didn't feel very stressed during my time in my room at the castle, after my fifteenth birthday since I actually looked decent. Relaxation kind of numbs stress.

"Well, you're likely the stressor, but I do need to get rid of stress. Goodnight."

"Same to you."

I hugged closer to Ruin, making sure I lay in a comfortable position. I watched as Hex and Fall went to the bed. They remained clothed, cuddling and falling asleep with Fall in Hex's arms. I also fell asleep, my lips on Ruin's neck.
