"Hmm, T-Teo? Why? I’m sleeping, can you kiss me later?" Yanarym asked politely and closed her eyes again. "I feel so tired, I don’t know why." Matteo smiled and caressed her hair and nodded his head even if she wasn’t looking.

"Good morning," he whispered to her and climbed to her bed to snuggle on her body. It was already dry and her clothes were changed to her normal dress in her wardrobe as well.

He leaned his head on her shoulders and reached for her cheeks and showered her with kisses. She chuckled and turned to him and they locked eyes.

She smiled widely and let him control her arms to hug him back, he looked at her and met her eyes. "Hello." He said to her and she bit her lips inward before kissing his nose.

"Hi, handsome. What’s wrong?" She asked sweetly and closed her eyes as she rested her forehead on his forehead. "Did something happen? Aren’t you clingy today?" He hummed and embraced her tightly.

"You were very very very sick." He told her like a child with the desire to be coaxed. So, Yanarym did. She brushed his hair through her fingers and listened to his grumbling.

"You’ve been sleeping for days. I was so worried... " Matteo said slowly and embraced her tighter.

"I was?" She asked and he nodded. "What happened?"

"You had a fever, because of what happened at the academy between your other lovers." Matteo lied, although it was not smart to hide the truth, he still thought that it was better to feign ignorance for what happened.

She paused and sighed as if contemplating then suddenly yawned. Matteo, who was watching her, saw the exhaustion in her eyes. He may have injected her too much energy but her essence was still tired from everything.

"Are you still sleepy?" He asked her and stopped being a baby. Matteo held her hand and intertwined their fingers. She nodded her head, "Um... "

"You can sleep more, you are excused in school, and you can rest for the whole week," Matteo said and loosened his grip on her body and pecked at her cheek. "I will be outside of your room if you need me."

"Alright... " she turned around and hugged her big pillows instead.

When she got back to sleep Matteo veered his head to the two other men in the room. He dragged them out of the room, and as soon as the door closed, Kraig and Lyndon were unfrozen.

"You have no rights on her! You think you can do what you want!" Kraig shouted.

Matteo shot him with his cold eyes. He thought this human would know how to back down after what he had done. He deliberately showed them that scene to mark his territory.

"I don’t care about your opinion, you saw her wake up, you can leave now."

"She’s awake?" Lena approached them. Her eyes widened and were about to rush inside the room to see how Yanarym was doing but she was blocked by Matteo.

"No, Lena, she’s sleeping but she’s safe. I assure you, so you can relax now."

"C-can I see her?" Her tears welled up and looked at Matteo with hopeful eyes. Matteo casually shook his head.

"Later. She’s tired, and it seems like she had no idea what happened to her. We can’t act out of the ordinary." Lena nodded, "And make these two pests leave the house, I will be in my room." With that Matteo turned his head and walked to the other door, without words of goodbye he closed the door, leaving Kraig and Lyndon with the witch professor.

"Lyndon, Kraig, please grant this old lady and leave for today. You can visit her tomorrow." Lena swerved to the two young men and clasped her hands.

"Okay." They both agreed and left peacefully.

Or not...

When the house became quiet, it appeared that everyone was finally asleep. Lyndon lifted the frame of her window and slowly walked through her room. He found Yanarym still asleep, he smiled and kneeled to the bed and stroked her hair. He reached out for her hand and kissed the back of her palm tenderly.

She furrowed her brows and slowly opened her eyes. Lyndon held his breath and felt tears building in his eyes. "L-Lyndon?"

"Yam... " he uttered tenderly, Yanarym blinked her eyes and touched his cheeks, it was translucent, he was crying.

He had been holding himself for being emotional but seeing her wake up earlier. It felt like a fairytale. Suddenly, everything just didn’t matter anymore.

"Why are you crying?" She asked in a drowsy manner before sitting up on the bed. Lyndon assisted her and sat her on his lap. "Did you hear from Marcus that I was sick?" She tried looking at him but he embraced her from behind, tightly so that she couldn’t move.

"Yeah, I heard you’re sick." He whispered, she tried moving again, but Lyndon insisted on their position, he didn’t want her to see him crying. So, she gave up and just sat on his lap.

"I’m fine now." She said weakly, they had a comfortable silence between them. And when Lyndon calmed himself he carried her back to her bed. As they were lying side to side, he brushed her hair, while staring intently at her eyes.

"I love you..." he mumbled and kissed her lips, "I love you so much." He wrapped his arms around her waist and embraced her as he rested his head on her shoulder. "Don’t be ever sick again." When he heard no response, he noticed that she wasn’t moving too, he suddenly panicked and saw if she was okay but she was just---surprised. "What’s wrong? Are you hurt?"

"N-no, it’s just you never said that to me before." She murmured and looked away as if she was suddenly shy.

Lyndon smirked and held her chin to meet her eyes. How much he missed this... he thought that when she admitted that she was in love with Kraig as well. He would hate her, yet, he longed for her instead.

When she was cursed, he aggrieved, he wanted to do anything to uplift it. And now she was all alright, he could wish for nothing. He kissed her lips again and clashed their noses.

"What? That I love you?" He chuckled, "I will say it every time to you now, you’ll get tired of it, I love you, I love you, Rym..." He whispered to her and bit the tip of her nose. She kept silent and submitted to him. "Hmm? Why aren’t you saying anything? Don’t you love me too?" He asked her and peered at her eyes. She shook her head and blinked.

"I love you. I do."

"Good." He smiled and kissed her again, "That’s good to hear." He was about to snuggle her but she put her hands to his chest preventing him from holding her closely. The distance she put between them made Lyndon’s eyes gloomy... he held her hands, and extended them to embrace his torso instead.

"Lyndon-" she was about to protest but he cut her off. He grabbed her body and kissed her lips, longer until they ran out of air.

"Yam," he uttered softly while smooching her cheeks and neck, her arms were to leave his body but he kept it there and licked her collarbone. And roamed his lips to her ears and stopped when she buried her face to his chest and clung to him tightly. "You call me Yam, Rym. I told you, I’m yours too." They stayed quiet again, and Lyndon tried to disperse the lust building upon him. He wanted to love her, his body was aching to feel her. But he must restrain himself, she just recovered.

"Y-yam... aren’t you mad?" She whispered.

"Mad? About what?" Lyndon looked at her but only saw the top of her head. Her grip on his body tightened. And he could feel the tension on her shoulders too, indicating she was nervous. Lyndon took strands of her hair and played them on his fingers, resting his chin over her head. He snugged his legs to hers and intertwined them. He grazed his feet on hers and waited for her reply.

He had the idea of what she was going on about. And he sorted it all, so he knew he wouldn’t be mad at her. "That - ... about what I said about you and K-kraig." She continued with her voice going lower and lower.

"Is that true? Do you love us both?" He asked casually and she froze. She didn’t answer in a hurry, and although Lyndon was anticipating her answer---he gradually stopped being relaxed as it sink to him that she was really in love with someone else, other than him.

"... I do." He stopped playing with her hair and gazed at the darkness of the room. His nonchalant air changed to solemn, and the atmosphere between them got heavier.
