3rd POV

Lily stared at the door of Ryuu's bedroom. Once again. She was sleepless. Tossing and turning in bed. And the fact that it was raining with actual thunder and lightning didn't help her one bit.

And the fact that this wasn't the first time she was like this didn't help. She didn't want to waste another day or afternoon sleeping in Ryuu's bedroom while he was relaxing and reading a book while still in there.

She knew that his presence alone could calm her down for reasons she couldn't tell. Yet at the same time make her a bit nervous, and give her this fuzzy feeling in her chest.

She squeezes her pillow. Wanting to either hurry up and knock on his door. Or run back into her room. She can't take being in the dark hallway anymore.

She sighs and quickly knocks on his door. Only just realizing that she's waking him up. She feels her heart start beating faster. Despite staying in his room to sleep when she got 0 sleep at night. She's never actually knocked on his door in the middle of the night.

"Come in."

A voice that is obviously Ryuu's comes from his bedroom. His voice doesn't sound tired.

Lily looks up surprised at the fact that he's still probably awake. She breaths in and slowly grabs his doorknob and opens the door.

Opening his door, she sees that his light is off. On the left side of the room is his bed. That is not against the wall. Rather the top of it hits the wall. On his left is a big window with his curtains drawn back. Allowing any moonlight to come in and light up his room.

Ryuu sits on his bed. A book in his hands. His bright eyes staring into Lily's pale pink ones.

Ryuu stares at Lily. He stares at her confused. Though he has a pretty good idea why she's here.

He smiles at her.
"You're sleepless aren't you?"

Lily looks at him. Suprised yet confused.
"H-How did you know?"
"Lily. There are some days where you don't let me leave my room cuz you're tired and want to sleep in here with me."

Lily blushes and looks down.
"S-So I can--"
"Yes. You can sleep in here with me."

She nods without moving her gaze. Lily closes the door and slowly makes her way to Ryuu's bed. She lays down on the soft bed and pulls the blanket so it covers her face and smiles.

Ryuu closes his book and sighs.
"Lily. Do you not like your room?"

Lily shakes her head.
"No. I'm just.... Not used to it yet that's all."

Lily closes her eyes.
"Can I sleep now?"
Ryuu nods his head.
"Sure."

He closes his book and lays down also.

Lily yawns loudly as she enters the kitchen. Seeing Riku wide awake at 6 in the morning on the weekend surprised her.

Though she's close with Ryuu. Her relationship with the younger sibling is the exact oppasate. Not necessarily hate or dislike, more like... Awakwardness.

Lily walks over to the fridge. Before she opens it she notices Riku taking the last bite of what looked like a small portion of eggs.

"Where are you going?"
She asks hesitantly a bit.

"To go see Brec and Bree."
"Oh..."

After Sora had gotten the doctor. Brec and Bree were taken to the hospital. Currently nurses are taking care of Riku's newborn daughter while Brec is constantly getting checkups.

The best part was that Bree was born perfectly healthy.

As Riku heads out to the door Lily stops him.
"Tell Brec... I said hi..."

Riku nods his head.
"I will."

Lily looks away and looks down. She squeezes her eyes shut then opens them once again and looks at Riku.

"Will you marry Brec-Sama?"

Riku stops and his eyes widen. Yes he's thought about marriage with Brec. A million of times. But he knows that in 3 years time she won't be here anymore.

The thought about a 14 and 15 year old marrying each other has always been a weird idea to him. But he would do anything to marry Brec.

He looks at Lily and smiles sadly.
"I would love to marry her..."

He turns around and heads to the door. Leaving Lily alone in the kitchen. Lily looks down and smiles.

'Marriage huh?'

'If I had go marry someone... Who would I chose?'

As someone pops into Lily's mind her cheeks turn red as her eyes slightly widen. She smiles.

'He would make me happy... He's like a big brother to me...'

She looks down sadly without realizing her action.
'But... I can't help but to feel like he's more than a big brother to me...'

The sound of somebody's foot steps brings Lily out of her thoughts. She turns to the source of the sound and spots Riku and Ryuu's mother. Eliza.

Her long dark red hair makes her easy to spot. It's also a genetic that Riku and Ryuu didn't get. Instead getting hair colors like their father.

"Oh. Good morning Lily."
"Good morning Mrs. Itona-San."

Eliza slightly giggles.
"You know you don't have to call me so formally. You can just call me Eliza if you want. Were practically family now."

Lily looks down nervously.
"But I'm not part of y'alls family unless I was born into it, adoption or... Marriage...."

Eliza smirks.
"I wouldn't be surprised if you did marry one of my boys. And by one of them I mean Ryuu. I know the face you make when you think about my son sweetie."
She says in a playful tone.

Lily's face turns red as she waves her hands in front of herself.
"I-It's nothing like that!? Ca-Can we change the topic please?!"

Eliza chuckles. She grabs her bags and slips on her high heels that are placed by the door.

"Tell the boys I'll see them soon. And they're father is coming home tomorrow afternoon. And that we'll both be here this weekend for sure along with Valentines Day."

Lily smiles brightly.
"I will."

Eliza smiles back at her and leaves the house. Leaving Lily alone to start breakfast for her and Ryuu.

'I would honestly love to marry Ryuu if I had to choose someone...'
