"Ame Chan wants to see your room as well! Where do you sleep brother Haruto kun?"
"Wanna see our rooms?"
I responded with a nod excited to explore the castle cause I knew there were a lot of empty rooms that were yet to discover let alone the secret basements which I had a lot of fun reading them in a book. My tiny feets followed them as I explore round the castle one by one and into their rooms.
"Its not that far from your room so you can always call us anytime when you need something." He says guiding me.
The room next to mine was Aito Kun's room, followed by Sora then comes Haruto and brother Daichi's room. Since he was the eldest, his room happened in somewhere by the corner.
'Even though we were not actual siblings our hearts were one. I belong to them and they, mine. So long as I remember the child in me had always looked upon them in a sisterly love but that was what I thought. These foolish hearts are going to be broken because they are meant to.'
We gather for the dine, there were teasing and loud laughters echoed in all the corners of the mansion. We looked like the happiest family in town. We then head to bed.
It was one of the fine days of my ordinary life or so I thought...
I was taken into my bedroom by my personal maid, Flora. She was appointed as my maid and my caretaker. She was to take care of my chores to my hair and dressing and everything else that was related to me. I was served and treated like a princess. She made my hair after a quick shower, chose a nightgown for me and sang me a lullaby. She left the room once she was convinced I was asleep.
It was a very palatial place to me, even the room was as large as it could be. But I had trouble in sleeping because I was not used to this luxury life. My needs were provided just a snap of a finger but a part of me wanted something more than just some luxurious goods. I followed my anxious heart to down the stairs where mother was. I held back in doubt if I should bother their sleep but I ends up knocking at the door anyway.
"Mama mama!!" I call her with my tiny voice.
She opens the door, "What happen honey? You can't sleep?" She knew my trouble.
"Ame Chan wants to sleep with mama!" I cried.
"I had thought the same thing..." She smiled at me and takes me inside the room.
"Since it's your first day you are allowed to sleep with us but the days from now on, you have to sleep on your own okay?"
"Hmm!" I hurriedly agreed to her and made my way to the bed and dashes on it.
Father appears from the washroom rubbing the dripping water from his face with a towel, "Is that my princess?" I stopp playing feeling guilt because I realised I had ruined their night. Yes I surely did, my bad.
"Do you wanna play with your papa?" He says smiling. And I reach my hand out raising my arms.
I didn't ask her the reason behind for marrying this man and it did not occur to bother me from knowing any further because as long as mama was happy with this man I was happy too.That night I slept in between them and a week later they officially got married. It was a hectic month because we were to appear in media, attending meetings and discussions. We also held a press where lot of professional journalists interviewed us and numerous questions were asked. It became headlines of every front page of newspapers and magazines, "The Billionaire Maezawa Re-marries."
I made a promise to myself to not trouble them anymore but I dislike being alone in that large room!... so I decide to find a way. There is always a way out when you find yourself in a block and this is my escape plan!
"Mama can I sleep with brother Aito today?" I pleaded her with a kitten eyes.
"Honey I suppose you cant-"
"Why? but we are siblings!!" I mumble in protest.
Father interrupts the conversation, "Let her do what she wants darling she must have been feeling lonely all this time. It's no harm to get along with her brothers."
Hehe I knew father have always got my back! I chuckle inside.
"Or would you rather want to sleep with us honey?" He says.
I shook my head, "Ame dislikes disturbing mama and papa so I'd rather sleep with my brother heh."
She finally agrees after dad sided with me and release a long sigh.
I kiss them goodbye before she changes her mind and runs off to the stairs, "Hehe thankyou papa! Have a good goodnight, love you both!"
"Aito kun! Aito Kun!" I hit the door with my knuckles. He finally opens the door in a drowsy face after a series of hard banging in his front door.
"What do you need at this late hour?" He ask with a drowsy face and almost dossing off.
I was in my purple pajama suit carrying a pillow in my arms, "I can't sleep you know...."
"So what do I do? Sing a lullaby for you?"
I laugh off, "Oh dear Aito you're funny!"
I barged into the room, "Excuse my pardon... Iam gonna sleep here from today."
He watch me in amuse and gives a sighs look in the end, "I was having some peaceful night and there you go now. Were you not satisfied sleeping with them?"
"Well I want to....But I can't because Iam a big girl now."
"Pfts! Yeah look at this big girl." He snigger.
"So. I have decided to never leave you and always company you to bed, can I? please?" I pleaded. "Ah, don't worry papa has already agreed to it." I smiles.
"You are not as naive as you pretend to be, no? Why don't you ask the others to take you in?" He was intending to direct at his brothers.
"Cause they seem to be so far away and since our rooms are just next to each other I thought you are gonna be perfect for this." Twiddling my index fingers together, nervously.
"If it's okay for a girl to sleep with a boy..." He sounded convinced.
"But you are not a boy to me." I half pout.
"Er, don't be a silly sister..."
"I mean as long as we are siblings we can sleep together." Twiddle my fingers again and when he looked convinced again I grab the moment to tackle into his bed, and sniffs the pillows that smelled so much like him and begin to roll like a sushi. Surely old habits die hard.
He scoffs at my play after sighing and closes the door behind. By the time he comes over to the bed I stop playing and stares at him in admire.
He lay beside me but turn his back on me, "It's getting cold lately make sure to cover yourself with blanket." He says.
"Mmhh, thanks for letting me sleep with you Aito kun."
"....."
After days of sleepless nights guess I'd be sleeping peacefully in the warmth of my brother next to me...
