{Carla's POV}

"Aren't you afraid she'll never come back?" He asked in all seriousness.

"Do you not trust her?" I replied to my hotheaded brother.

"Tch."

|Flashback to Age 16|

{Carla's POV}

"Don't you want to go back to your useless brothers?" I questioned her while we walked around the garden, filled with roses I've never payed much attention to.

"They aren't useless..." She started, giving me a glare. "...and I wish I could, but not yet." She said with a smile while she plucked a couple of roses, intertwining them with her small and delicate fingers.

"Why?" I ask with curiosity, looking at her mess with those frivolous things.

"Beacuse he said so."

"And you're just going to obey him?" I question with my a tint of disappointment.

"No." Her smile gone.

"Hmm?"

She turned her head towards me and cupped my cold face with her small, warm hands.

"I choose to stay here because you're my family too." She spoke quietly with her smile reappearing.

My eyes widened. I opened my mouth wanting to say something but instead I closed it.

"Hehe", she giggled at my loss of words. Then without my notice, she placed a flower crown she made and skipped a few meters ahead.

I pulled the crown from my head, staring at it.

"Pink roses accented with green leaves huh?"

"Do you know what they mean?" She asked curiously.

I shook my head, 'I could probably fight a demon ten times my size, outrun a cheetah, or maybe even manipulate someone with my mind games, but I never payed attention to useless things such as flowers.'

She looked a little disappointed and so we continued our walk under the purple sky, the stars sparkling like diamonds.

:Time Skip:

"That look on her face...", I grumbled to myself, hating the look of disappointment directed towards me. For I never failed to impress others with my strength and intelligence. 

I flipped open a dusty book in the very back of the library, holding the spine of it, I searched for the meaning of pink roses. My hand glidded from red to orange to yellow to peach and finally, pink roses. 

"Pink roses, appreciation, "Thank You", grace, perfect happiness, admiration, gentleness, or "Please Believe Me"." I looked through all the the meanings for a pink flower and decided upon the last one since it related to our previous conversation.

"Hmm...interesting", I mumbled to myself, taking the book with me and investigating it more.

{Akame (Your) POV}

"ngh...", you slowly open your eyes, turning right, you realized that Azusa was asleep, his head on your bed. You stared at him, lightly touching his mini scar on his nose-bridge then traveling up his pale face and as you reached his head, you twirled a little piece of his hair with your finger.

|Flashback to Age 9|

{Akame (Your) POV}

"Hmmm...lalala." You skipped happily through the woods to pay the Mukamis another visit.

"I'M BACK GUYS!" You shouted, opening the creaking door with excitment, having a surprise for them. 

"Hello?" You questioned the emptiness when usually they would greet you with a hug.

"Hi...Akame...chan." Azusa said quietly as he was cutting himself with a butter knife.

"AZUSA!!! ARE YOU OK?! WHERE ARE THE OTHERS?" You panicked, grabbing the bandage from the top cupboard.

"The..others...are out...getting...food...", he looked at you as you wrapped his cut leg.

"Thank...you...", he spoke quietly as you looked at him.

"Azusa...I told you to stop cutting yourself." You pouted, disappointed at him.

"Gomen....but I...can't...help..it." He spoke slowly with dull grey eyes.

You leaned towards him, cupping his face and placing your head on his. Staring into his eyes, he blushed a little but that didn't stop you from saying what you were about to say.

"Azusa...you know..whenver you're feeling sad or mad, you can come to me and we can talk about it. You don't have to hurt yourself...whenever you do, it hurts me and the people who care about you so much. I'll always be here for you." You say softly, looking straight into his grey eyes which twinkled a little.

He hugged you.

"Thank...you....Akame..chan", he whispered.

"Awe, look at what we have here?" Kou laughed.

"You guys are back!" You smiled at them. "I have a gift for the all of you by the way!" You handed them each a green bag decorated with lilies. "It's handmade cookies!" You smirk proudly, taking a bite into your own chocolate chip deliciousness.

"ARIGATO!" They grinned in unison.

"Hmmm", you chuckled to youself.

|Back to Present|

"YOU'RE AWAKE!" Kou shouted as he walked in on you still twirling Azusa's hair.

As all the brothers gathered, they questioned your fainting.

You smile and as they settled down, you started to explain what happened 5 years ago.

"The truth is..."
