Before they even knew it, the sun had started its reign once again, the three tracked their way downstairs where they were met with the fire department who watered away the fire. Upon viewing the destruction of his mansion, the Baron became devastated; so being the kind man he was, Willard offered the help of his team which the father gratefully accepted.

While the two men exchanged words, Ryoko observed the Sirius who was getting treated by Dorthea "I swear, you two are so reckless" the woman scolded the two injured teenagers who either nodded or chuckled. Completing wrapping the two half-humans up, Dorthea walked away; "Yuliy." turning in the direction of Willard, who called, the two looked at each other before Yuliy made his way to the professor. "(Name). I've told you this already but there might've been something I forgot to tell you;" confused, (name) had also advanced to the professor, following him somewhere where no one else would hear their conversation. 

Willard had told the two of how he discovered the Ark and what he heard the Ark was- basically everything he told (name) three nights before; "my father must've known what the Ark was and took it away from the village" Yuliy mentioned. "As far I know, the Ark of Sirius must be protected by the Sirius bloodline" Willard stated with a solemn look that (name) caught onto in a flash, "Yuliy is the only remaining Sirius meaning you want him to go find it before the vampires do." (Name) announced as a worried look decorated her face. 

" 'Do something that only you can do.' " 

The two looked at the said Sirius who spoke of his brother, who said those words to him. "If protecting the Ark is something I can do for my dead family and not kill vampires... then I'll do it" the look in Yuliy's eyes were so clear- as clear as the sky without clouds. 

Willard nodded his head saying that if that is what Yuliy wanted to do, then he could but he didn't have much time left because the vampire that truly wanted the Ark was Yevgraf- a name (name) never wanted to hear of again. Seeing the (h/c)nette's sweaty and shivering state, the Sirius asked if she was okay, "oh uh... yeah. I'm fine- just a little cold" she forced a smile. 

The trio talked a bit more before going off to help everyone else work and fix the mansion. With an armful of burnt wood, Yuliy carried the material to the side. Gazing over to (name), his brow lightly arched as he watched the (h/c) haired girl kind of zombie her way around while bags hung under her eyes. 'I didn't notice her bags till now. Perhaps it was too dark so I couldn't see them.'  Yuliy told himself. 

Deciding to take a short break, the seventeen-year-old walked up to (name) "hey, you alright? You look like you're going to collapse" he questioned caringly. The (h/c) haired girl gazed up at the older teen telling him that she was fine which made him even more worried. Debating whether or not to leave the girl or not, Yuliy watched (name) for a little while longer to see if he needed to carry her to bed. 

Hesitantly, Yuliy began to turn away "I'll be over there if you need me," he said before walking away leaving (name) be. Time flew by and everyone eventually finished rebuilding the mansion; Dorthea had gone to pay the construction workers while Fallon, Philip, and (name) went to the room. 

Yuliy eventually followed but when he got to the room, he was told that (name) headed to bed. The Sirius made his way to his bed believing that the (h/c) head was sleeping there- and indeed she was. 

(H/c) hair sprawled on his bed, her knees up to her chest with her face holding such a soft expression. Yuliy's hand covered his blushing face as he gazed upon the appearance of (name) who put every flower to shame. Kneeling beside his bed, the sapphire-eyed teen stared at (name)'s sleeping face letting himself get lost in her features that were illuminated by the sun.

Seeing how peaceful she was, Yuliy thought about the moments he had with (name). Sure, if you thought about it, four years wasn't as long as ten years but the Sirius thought that it didn't matter how long you knew someone. He's shown (name) his worst sides before and that just made them closer. Same with (name); she's shown Yuliy so many vulnerable sides of her that he felt as if she trusted him with anything. 

He just felt so close. 

He's never felt this close to someone before. Yeah, he and Willard were close but in a more father-son way. With (name), he felt his feelings ran deeper than 'father-son' or 'best friends' or even 'partners in crime'- no. It felt so much more than that. 

"Yuliy, have you ever thought that you might be in love with (name)?"

Willard's question now began to ring through the male's head. Did he love (name)? What was the definition of love? was he mistaking love for something else? 

His blue eyes eventually traveled from (name)'s face to her lips; even her lips captivated him. Everything about her was just so... entrancing (I look like a blobfish so I can't relate). Despite her features seeming pretty average, Yuliy very much considered (name) very pretty- beautiful you could even say. 

Without realizing it, Yuliy started to lean in slowly until the tip of his nose touched (name)'s. Her breathing was so slow it was rhythmic while Yuliy's was so calm it was like a steady moving wind. Closer. He got closer. His eyes became half-lidded before his lips brushed against (name)'s soft ones. 

Yuliy's lips felt tingly but not in a bad way. It was a pleasant feeling that made something flutter inside his chest. A warm something. 

Not wanting to go too far, the Sirius slowly backed away, "sorry, (name). I'm getting ahead of myself" he mumbled apologetically as he stood up, placing his jacket over her. Seeing (name) cuddle with his jacket caused Yuliy to chuckle; getting a blanket instead, the older used the blanket to cover (name) while she cuddled with his jacket as if it was a toy. 

Walking his way out the room doorway, Yuliy took a quick glance back before going to sit the other males who were at the table but not before he placed his fingers on his lips where the tingling sensation remained. he wanted to do it again. He didn't want to just brush his lips on her's though- he wanted to place his lips over her's; 'isn't that what they call a...kiss?' Yuliy asked himself. Suddenly his face bloomed redder than a rose at the very thought of kissing (name). But... he wanted to do it.

"Hm? Yuliy, everything okay? Your face is red." 

Fallon asked without a clue or thought of what happened earlier; Philip as well. "Ah, I'm fine. I think I worked a little too hard though- that's probably why my face is red." Yuliy stumbled over his words but still managed to say a plausible excuse that the two seemed to buy. The Irish man had told him to be careful and to not overwork himself before going back to reading the book in his hands. leaving the seventeen-year-old alone with his inner thoughts.

'But (name) looked really cute.'

AAAAWWWWWW YEAH! YOU KNOW WHO UPDATED! 

THAT'S RIGHT!

ITZ YA BOI

DEMONIC!

Okay anyways, school was canceled today because of icy roads so I got the time to update!

Omg, I was so tired while making some parts of this chapter (you'll probably tell by lack of emotions in my words). IDK WHY but when I'm writing I like to listen to music to get into the mood. 

Like if I wanna make a part where the reader is feeling uneasy then I'll play All For One's Theme because that gets me into the mood of uneasiness and I feel like I'll write better that way. Idk, maybe that's just me! 

GaSP! This is a funny story of while I was writing this:

So my head was spinning and hurting (cause I'm laying down and ignoring my body wanting to sleep) so I get up to go get medicine. I open the plastic flap of my rectangular pill bottle and take out a pill or two. I get my water bottle and pop that pill boi in my mouth and I'm like "hm... this pill tastes pretty good." So I get another one and FREAKING EAT IT.

I guess my mind clicked awake because after I swallow the "pill" I look down at the pill bottle and realized it wasn't a pill bottle and what I took wasn't a pill.

No.

It was a tic-tac. I was holding a tic-tac bottle and popped a tic-tac in my mouth thinking it was a damn pill. 

I freakin hate mahhhhhseeelllllfffff!!!!! If you had an experience like this then tell me so I don't feel like the only idiot that did this .·'¯'(>▂<)'¯'·. I swear, my IQ is -160 or something lower. 

I'm Asain, I swear.
