"Ad-Add?"

Right now, you can say that Add is in a really really bad shape. 5 minutes ago, he made a deal with Eun, agreed to protect Ara, and then got pranked by the fox for the second time.

"Morning Chibi, sorry if that was your first kiss." He rolled over, and lay down next to Ara, turned away like nothing had happened. He is panicking, and blushing like crazy. Why is he even acting like this? Is he even in reality right now? Gosh, I'm so out of character now.

"U-um m-morning."

It's two o'clock in the morning Ara.

"I m-mean what were you doing here A-add?!" Ara sat up right after Add turned away. Confused and totally embarrassed after the Lunatic's action. She can't believe he did that, and her brain is working like a machine trying to find a reason why.

They have never talked. They barely see each other. They had never even tried to look at the other. And they even tried to avoid each other, because Ara believed Add doesn't want her to help him since he can stand on his own. And with Add, he probably doesn't even care about Ara; in fact, he doesn't really care about the whole gang, only Eve's code. Then why? Well, going through the whole thing again, they just don't really have any kind of communication. Not like they hate each other or anything.

"... Ask Foxy..."

"You tell her, Add. You were with her most of the time, anyway." Eun got out again, leaning by the doorframe smoking and smirking. She doesn't really like to get out of Ara often. But seeing Add struggling in some kinds of emotions or relationship is an exception, they would be more real, as if it wasn't even real, to watch with her own eyes.

"Tch fine. So last night, you were crying and blaming yourself for being a terrible sister, too weak blah blah and blah blah– not... again..." Add grumpily sat up, started talking and when he turned back, face to face with Ara, he sighed. Her eyes already started to water. He did not care when a girl cries before, but now, seeing the same girl cries twice, he just... wants to kill himself.

Eun sighed too, after a face palm. This girl is too easy to break right now. She could even get her own self killed just by an insult. "Add, go and die. You made my girl cries, twice." Eun sat down on the bed and hugged Ara motherly. That might calm her down a little bit.

"Hell, I didn't do anything!!" He yelled.

"Quiet! It's only two thirty." Eun hushed.

"Whatever." Add rolled his eyes then lay down to take a little rest. Time seem to flow by fast. He already stayed up all night again, seven days on a row. I might break my record.

"Add, this is my room!"

"You mean Ara's room" he snorted back, kind of sleepy.

"We are the same person."

"Why are you acting like a child now?"

"Just being honest."

"Fine, I'll go. Night." Add stood up and stretched a little but before heading back to his room, which is on the other side of the castle. Long way but he doesn't really care, his back hurt and he just want to rest now.

"You can stay if you want to Add. I don't mind, I have caused you to stay up all night after all." Ara said, her voice was a little crack. But she was still trying to smile to convince Add to stay. She have caused too much trouble for him in just a night, she at least should give him back something.

"Ok, but Foxy–"

"I never told you to leave." Eun laughed and disappeared, leaving the two together and rest.

~oOo~

"Aren't you going to join?" Add arched his eyebrows. He is tired, and if he can, he will sleep for three days straight, but something is stopping him from doing that right now.

"A-Ah no, thanks you. I'm fully awake right now." Ara backed up. Even though her bed is big enough for two and she is still tired a little bit, she wants Add to have his fully space and relax himself. He has been through a lot after all.

"So you going to stand there and stare at me till it's morning?"

"... Err... I-I'm going to take a shower. Don't worry." Ara laughed off.

"For three hours? You're going to get sick. Here, lie down." Add scooted over so the Sakra can have some place to lie down. But for some reason, Ara is still trying to refuse the little request. So she just ran off into the bathroom. The albino just sighed.

~oOo~

"What have you done Eun?!"

Ara stand in front of the mirror, shaking and trying to get the spirit to tell what have the fox done.

I've done nothing, he has done something.

Eun, in fact, is really stubborn. Her appearance reflected on the mirror, showing her doing her nails and smiling mischievously. Ara doesn't like this. Something must have happened, and the cause is definitely Eun with that smile on her face.

"You are lying, that smile."

I told you I have done anything. But child, that is not the matter right now.

Eun blows her nails, then look back at Ara.

The real matter right now is your heart. You are still suffering when you smile. We need someone to help you.

"B-but I'm totally fine. I'm just worrying." Ara looks at her hand, eyes once again watery. I'm fine, I'm really fine. I'm just worry about Aren; he was my brother so I'm worry.

If you are fine, you shouldn't be worrying.

"I-I..." Ara trailed off. No matter how many reasons she has to tell Eun, win in a mouth battle against is impossible.

I'll leave you to Add. I'm just your guardian; he will be your sky.

"We barely talk, so why him?" She is curious, she might not be the type who likes to be in relationships, but if she has to pair up with someone, she wants to know the reason. Plus, there is a bunch of other guys out there, why Add?

You don't like him?

"Not that, I'm just curious why you chose him."

Apparently, he is the only guy left that is available.

"You are lying again, Eun. That smile." Actually, what Eun said is half true.

Elsword for sure is not dating anyone, but Aisha is looking after him, waiting for a chance. Plus, even if she keeps denying it, her action shows everything.

Raven would be the last person that you would not be surprised if he is not in a relationship. But unfortunately, someone had already grabbed him, though it was more like he grabbed someone else. However, to make it clear, that person is dead, and he will always be loyal to her, no matter what.

Next and last is the prince, who was actually out of the list first because he is dating the Nasod Queen, not much to talk about.

If you go through the whole list, Add is much the only guy left for you.

"Fine, if you said so."

~oOo~

After about 40 minutes staying in the bathroom, taking a small morning shower and trying to get Add to sleep, the Sakra peeks her head out just to make sure. Good, he slept. Then tippy toes straight to the make-up table to do her hair.

Suddenly, "Ahhhhh!" And she got pulled to lie down. "Add, let me go!" Ara yelled, struggling with all her might to get out of the albino's grasp but no use. The Lunatic just keeps snoring and hugs the girl tight like a hugging body-pillow. Figured out that resistance probably just makes him hug her tighter, I give up.

"You finally stop." Add mumbled, cracked one eye open to see the little Xia in his embrace.

"I thought you slept." The soft voice answered back, tried to somehow turn back and face the tracer. Add, of course, got the idea so he release her a little bit then hugged her tight again when they are face to face.

"Not yet since you are still awake, Ara." Add sneaked his hand up to the other's hair and played with the tip, then brings it up to his face to feel the new fresh orange hair that the Xia just washed.

"I'm sorry for whatever Eun had done." Ara wrapped her hands and answered back the hug from the Psyker, then buries her face into his chest.

"Nah, I did it as myself wanted to." He placed a small kiss on Ara's hair; prove to her he did everything because of his heart want to. Then continues, "Do you remember what you said yesterday?"

"Yes..." No, I was not broken; I was just worry, no tears.

"Can you promise me you will never say that again?" Add looked down, tried catch the eyes of the Xia in his warm hug, who still burying her face in his chest.

"... I- I can't..."

"Yes, you can. With me by your side." He patted the girl. "I promise, until the day you die, I'll protect you forever. And since I can promise, you can too." He pulled Ara up as his level, and then touches his nose with her. "Promise?"

"Will you promise to stay by me forever? Will you promise that you won't leave me like Aren did? Can you promise and not going to break it? Will you and can you?"

"Yes, so you better promise me to be happier. And promise to be my girlfriend so I can protect you until the day you die." He brushed his thumb over the left cheek of Ara.

"Yes, I promise." She smiled.

"Then may I?" Then his thumb brushed her lips, asking for a permission to touch it with his own.

"You don't need to ask."
