You mostly picked at the food on your plate, a lot going through your mind.

You were happy Cyrus had finally warmed up to you, but.. Your heart ached knowing that he and Mari were going to leave tomorrow morning.

You looked up at the two of them, Cyrus seeming irritated every time Coby flicked his fork making mashed potatoes splat on his face.

Mari was giggling with Cupid, the both of them telling garden puns. You were going to miss the hot headed tin can, and the flower scented skeleton.

But, they had to get back home at some point. They couldn't just stay here forever. No matter how much you wanted them to.

"Bullseye!" Coby shouts, nearly falling out of his chair from laughing so hard.

Cyrus abruptly stood from the table, slamming his fists on its surface. "Excuse me. I must clean my eye sockets.. Thanks to the imbecile sitting across from me."  He says through gritted teeth.

He had mashed potatoes lodged in his left eye socket, it didn't seem to hurt him, just made him very irritated.

He stomped out of the dining room, leaving you all to laugh at his sudden out burst.

After dinner, you and Cupid were the only ones cleaning it up. Cupid stretched out a new table cloth, tossing the dirty one in a hamper.

You were gathering dishes, putting them in the sink one by one in the sudsy water.

Cupid joined you in the kitchen tossing some silverware into the sink. "Sorry I've been avoiding you.."

Cupid turns to you, wiping a plate down with a paper towel. "Huh? Oh Cupcake, you don't have to be sorry. I understand, Amour scared you. I don't blame you, everyone is a little weary to be around me."

He looks at the knife block for a second, then his bubblegum eyes meet yours. "Though, I do admit I have been feeling a little left out."

You hand him one of the steak knives that Asher used to cut the chicken with. "Sorry Master Cupid. I'll be sure to include you during one of me and Master Asher's and Master Hallow's movie nights, if you'd like."

He takes the knife from you, staring at the blade and the way the light reflected on it. "Right.. I mean. Sure! I can on one of my days off!"

"Great, I'm sure they won't mind. It's this Friday." You smile, drying your hands off on one of the rags.

"Goodnight Master Cupid. I shall see you tomorrow, I'll have your breakfast ready. Have a good day at work tomorrow." You bow to him then walk out of the kitchen.

Cupid waved to you. "Goodnight cupcake! And thank you!"

Once you were out of sight, Cupid stared down at the knife again. "I'll see you then, kiyomi-chan~"

A few hours of sleep had been disturbed by a knock at the door, your door specifically.

You groan and look over at your night stand, 2am. You wrap your blanket around your shoulders and tiredly shuffle to the door.

Unlocking your door, you had to look down to see Mari looking up at you with tears in his eyes.

"Mari? Is everything alright?" God your voice sounded scratchy when you woke up.

Mari shook his head and hugged your waist, crying into the side of your waist, soaking your tank top.

You look to the right of the hall, then the left before picking him up he was surprisingly light, and taking him into your room and locking the door.

It took a good couple of minuets to get him to stop crying, he sat in your lap, crying into your chest, his four arms were wrapped tightly around your shoulder blades.

"I'm so- so -hic- sorry miss y/n! I -hic-"He hiccups face burnt with a yellow blush.

"Mari sweetheart. It's okay, I'm here for you. Sometimes its good to cry it out." You kiss his forehead and hug him even tighter.

His fluff was in your face now, it was so so so soft. Warm to, just like you thought it would be. He smelled of freshly bloomed marigolds. Huh.. Funny.

Once he finally calmed down he sadly looked up at you. "Y/n.. I don't want to leave tomorrow.. We hardly got to spend time together... I'm going to miss you.." His antennas were folded down, his deep purple eyes sparkled from his tears.

"But Mari, you know you'll see me again. This doesn't mean goodbye, it just means it'll be a while before we see each other again." You smile, poking his non nose.

He giggles and his antennas curl back to their normal bouncy position. "I've always hated goodbyes. They're too sad." He sniffles a little.

"I hate them too." You hug him, burying your face into his fluff, being half awake and wanting to use him as a pillow sounded amazing right now.

"That tickles!" He giggles. "Honey? Do you mind if I sleep with you?"

You pull back to see his flushed face, he was nervously fiddling with his fingers. All twenty of them.

You smile. "Of course."

He grins and plops next to you, laying on his side. "Sleeping with wings are much more annoying than you would think!"

You shake your head and lay next to him, pulling him close to you, being the bigger spoon was nice sometimes.

His wings were flat against your stomach, they were slightly warm, must have been from all the hovering he's done today.

"You're amazingly cuddly." You mutter into his fluff, it went all the way around his neck.

He nods. "Mommy thought so too." He says sadly, with a yawn.

"Goodnight Mari."

"Goodnight honey."

"Aren't you going to stay for breakfast?" Cupid asks, a pouty frown on his face.

You stood between him and Asher, sad as well. You were going to miss that warm fluff.

Cyrus shakes his head. "We'd like to. But if we want to catch the train we are going to have to leave now. Do you have everything?"  He looks down to Mari.

Mari sadly nods. "Yeah..."

"Very well then. We'll be seeing you all soon enough perhaps for a holiday?"

Everyone shares the same sad look at the holiday mentioned. "We'll see you then." Hallow replied.

Cyrus bends down to you and ruffles your hair. "We hope to see you there, sparky."

You playfully bat his hands away. "Try not to break again."

"No promises."  He sends you one last wink as he walks out of the door.

Mari was about to follow him but. "Oh! Cy I forgot something!"

Cyrus stops in the driveway. "Mari please, get on with it, we don't have much time."

"It'll take just a second!" Mari smiles and walks up to you.

You bend down to his level. "Yes Mari?" You giggle he looked so cute with that gold blush.

He looks at all of your Masters, then back at you. "Farewell y/n." He leans up on his tip toes and gently presses his dull fangs to your lips.

Your eyes widen as a strawberry blush flushes on your cheeks. Your heart was racing, the cutest thing was kissing you!

He quickly pulls away from the sweet kiss, and without another word, he ran out of the mansion's doors.

You stood there in shock, fingers tracing your lips. Did all skeleton kisses have that magic tingle? If so.. You wouldn't mind kissing another one.

You bashfully smile and cup your flustered cheek, shutting and locking the front door behind them.

But, once you turn back to face your Masters.....

They did NOT look happy.
