Cosima stared silently at the ceiling not wanting to get up and deal with everyone today. She sighed and sat up, rubbing her eyes. "Betta!" Betta slid open the room door, smiling widely at her as she came in with breakfast. "Morning Cosi!"Betta beamed, bringing her over a tray of food. Cosima giggled quietly, smiling as her friend handed her a fork to eat with. "Lady Cosima?" Betta hurried to the door and slid it open, finding Thoma standing there. "Lord Ayato wishes to see-" Betta slammed the door shut right in his face, a small scowl on her face. Her arms crossed over her chest, ignoring Thoma's calls for her to hear him out. "Go away!"Betta commands coldly, placing her hands on her hips. Thoma's sigh came from the other side, the sound of footsteps echoing down the hallway as he left. Cosima sighed in relief, a hand resting on her chest not in the mood to see Ayato.

She laid down, pulling the blanket over her. "AH! WAIT!!" The sound of laughing came from the hallway and the door suddenly slid open, a widely smiling Ayato dodging Ayaka while holding her fan above her head. Wait, when did his hair grow that long- "Ayame!! Give that back!" Ayaka laughed, reaching upwards towards the item as Ayame held it out of reach. Betta cleared her throat, her arms crossed over the chest getting their attention instantly. "You bursted into Cosima's room"Betta comments, pointing to the woman staring at them. Footsteps rapidly approached, followed by the sounds of Thoma's protests. The man himself walked in, Thoma looking worried behind him. Ayato opened his mouth then froze when he noticed Ayame standing there. "Hey big brother"Ayame greets, smiling at him. Ayato smiled, hurrying over to the identical male and hugging him tight.

"Haha! I came back to stay for a while! Beidou will come back for me!" Ayame hugged Ayato, patting the smaller males back. "One, big brother!" Ayato chuckled, knowing what he was up to. "Two, little sister!" Ayaka giggled, Ayame pulling her into the embrace. "Three, second brother!" Thoma hurried over and joined the hug, laughter coming from him when Ayame lifted them up slightly off the ground. "Siblings, siblings, siblings!" Ayame laughed with them, setting them all down. He perked up, turning his attention to Cosima, looking curious. Ayato smoothed his clothes out, smiling at his brother. "Oh, Ayame this is my wife to be, Cosima"Ayato says. Ayame grinned and waved to her, his expression warm and greeting. "We're twins!!"Ayeme smiled. He suddenly knelt down in front of her, lifting her up princess carry. "Four, sister in law! Siblings siblings siblings!"Ayame cheered, spinning around with her arms tight around his neck.

Ayato stared Ayame down with a small smile, crossing his arms just beneath his chest. Ayaka glanced between them, looking slightly curious. The two brothers stared at each other, having a silent conversation before Ayame set Cosima back down and tucked her in with an amused smile. "Thank you~"Ayato smiled, Ayame laughing at how smug his brother looked. Betta glared at Ayame, her eyes narrowed at how nonchalant the man was with invading someones personal space. "Can everyone please leave now?"Betta demands shooing them out, Ayame blinking twice in surprise. "Wait, I wanted to ask-"Ayaka starts, lifting her hand. Betta slid the door shut, making sure to slam it in their faces. Cosima sighed and stood up, deciding to get changed. She couldn't sit in here all day just wallowing in self despair. Betta looked at her worriedly but got a reassuring smile in return from her.

"So, what's up with her?"Ayame asks, eating with his siblings. Ayato stayed silent, having investigated Cosima's family more but came up at several dead ends on why she seemed so panicked when he left her to confront the maid that had harmed her. A week and a half with nothing and Cosima still refused to see him or come out of her room. "I don't know, she seems closed off from everything..when I first met her she wasn't anything like this"Ayato sighs, rubbing his temples feeling as if he was gaining a headache. He perked up, Ayame noticing staring past him curiously then followed his gaze outside. Cosima stared at the flowers, a small smile on her face. She reached forward and picked a few, Betta smiling beside her as she two made flower jewelry out of the plants. Ayato stood up, walking away from the two. Ayaka and Ayame glanced at each other then shot up, peeking out and spying on the eldest.

Cosima carried the flowers using her dress, giggling happily when Betta added more to the bunch. Hands grabbed her shoulder, startling her as she released her dress sending her picked flowers falling to the ground. "Hello, Cosi"Ayato greets, smiling down at her. She stared at him stunned, Betta narrowing her eyes. "Lord Ayato, do not touch Lady Cosima without her permission!"Betta reminds, coldly. Ayame appeared beside the man, looking slightly concerned. "Ayato..."Ayame mumbles, nudging his brother with his foot. Ayato moved his hands away, sighing. "Hello, Lord Ayato"Cosima greets quietly, turning to face him. She bowed her head to him, getting a small smile from the man. Ayame glanced at his brother then at his wife to be before flashing a bright smile. "Why don't we all eat together?!"Ayame suggests, all eyes landing on him.

Ayato smiled at his twin and held his hand out to the woman in front of him. "Shall we go, Cosi? I'm sure you'll find something you like at the table"Ayato asks. She blinked twice, knowing she should distance herself in order to save herself from her brothers wrath if he finds out she was being friendly with the Young Lord. "Alright." She took his hand, perking up when Ayato moved to walk beside her at the same pace. Ayame ran ahead, laughing as he started tickling Ayaka, causing the young lady to laugh and try to escape his grip. Thoma chuckled, intervening before Ayaka was out of breath. Cosima sat beside Ayato, her hair draped over her shoulder. She perked up when he made her a bowl, setting the warm food down in front of her to eat. "Wait...why have I never met Ayame while I've been here?"Cosima asks, glancing between the twins, stunned at how identical they look aside from their eyes. Silence followed, the two twins sighing.

"We'll tell you.."
