Fuegoleon opened his eyes as he felt something poke his side. He instantly felt his little brother's mana and turned over to look at the 5-year-old Leopold. "What's wrong?" He asked sitting up yawning. It could not have been later than around 1 am, what was Leo doing up? He normally slept like a rock. Fuegoleon wondered to himself. 

"I can't sleep, big sister was telling me a scary story and I had a nightmare about what she was telling me. Now I can't fall back to sleep." Leo said.

Fuegoleon shook his head and said, "Alright. Come here," He moved over on his bed and let Leo climb on and sat next to him. Leo smiled as he sat next to his brother and leaned against him as Fuegoleon wrapped an arm around his little brother. 

"You know that Mereoleona is scarier than any story she can come up with," Fuegoleon said. 

"I know...I am just going to stay with you though." He replied laying down. 

"Leo-" He began but shook his head and laid down next to his little brother. He shook and closed his eyes but after a few moments, he heard Leo in a small voice ask, "Leon...you'll always be here. Right?"

"Of course," He replied ruffling Leo's hair. 

"Just being sure," Leo replied as he closed his eyes and soon fell asleep. Fuegoleon tried to do the same but he was soon awoken by Leo starting to snore. Fuegoleon sat up and moved off the bed making sure he won't wake his sleeping brother. He went to his desk to work on somethings since he realized sleep now was not an option. After awhile Fuegoleon fell asleep at his desk as well.

Fuegoleon yawned and sat up sitting up from his desk. He felt a blanket on him and smirked a bit. Mereoleona must have come in at night at some point, even though she was a firecracker and very tough she did care for her siblings. He looked over at his bed and saw Leo was gone and his bed was a mess. He just shook his head and smiled. He laid the blanket over the chair and went to get some breakfast. 

As he walked down the stairs he heard a loud thud and felt mana raise. He hurried to the kitchen and saw Leo throw a small ball of fire at Mereoleona who blocked it easily. He just took his breakfast and sat down. He knew this was one battle not to get pulled into...the fight for the last muffin. Especially when you had Mereoleona and Leopold Vermillion involved.
