Vanilla 33- Cream
My eyes follow Strawberry as he drives out of the house, the gates closing once he's gone. Doctor Sweet says that the police in Aeria haven't found Vanilla, but I know that if she isn't there, she'd be in Vino. And Strawberry might find her. If he does, good. If he doesn't, my brain would keep replaying scenarios about what I should or shouldn't have done and that- That sounds exhausting. A small sigh leaves my lips, my chest rising and falling as I keep staring outside before I walk out of my room, setting my goblet on a table then step into the hall. It's silent. Terribly so. It reminds me of how things were before Vanilla came. We usually always spent time in our separate ways and on occasions, came together, but we were not exactly noisy. Vanilla had everyone trying to satisfy or get her talking one way or another that we had the halls a little bit noisier. Such a tiny input. Such a big impact. The dark brown door in the hall is slightly open so I walk to it, waiting for

I hear her chuckle on my shoulder. It does wonders to my skin "You're supposed to focus" She lets me go and I turn immediately, staring at her. Her smile stays when I speak "I want to learn, Doc but not like that" "I understand" Not with that smile. Her hands move to my face as she holds up my chin, eyes staring at me "Let's try something else, shall we?" I nod. "I'd use your body as an example, but if you make a sound, I'd stop" She doesn't nove her face from mine as she continues "You don't speak unless I tell you to, and you focus. That's the most important part" I nod again "Okay" She takes the robe off, letting it flutter to the fall as her smile widens a fraction as she says "I see you were a ready subject" I say nothing. She takes it off, her hand moving to mine as she slowly begins to move it "It's always important to make sure that you don't press on it to much-" Then it moves to my neck "And sometimes you apply slight pressure" My eyes flutter close as she squeez

"Oh, Anata, you look stunning, and what nice shoes" I close the door, turning to see Mrs Light, or as I call her sometimes, Okaasan, arranging the on the coffee table as I pass her a smile, staring at my mud stained sneakers "Okaasan" Mrs Hinata Light is a chubby woman with dark hair and soft brown eyes that smells like the kitchen and a person I greatly adore. Perhaps it is because I am glad she doesn't bare even the slightest resemblance to Doctor and my heart doesn't go pitter patter around her but she makes the best cupcakes I've ever eaten and she's sweet to me "Did you go on a date?" Before I can open my mouth to tell her I wasn't on a date, I hear someone run down the stairs of the house, glasses nearly falling from his face and hair all over it as he says "You went on a date?!" I stare at him, my words stopping midway as I scan his body, wondering why he's only in his briefs while he scans me too before he says "Y-You did" I frown "I did not. I-" "You could have told me

It's afternoon when a car honks on their frontyard and Alex is the one who drives the Mercedes. He's still the same. Quiet with a dinner jacket on and his face in it's usual expression as he says "Lady Vanilla" I can't ignore the relief I feel to know he's still the same "Hi" He opens the passenger seat for me while I stare at my reflection. I'm wearing a shirt and shorts with my koala bag that has my uniform on my shoulders. I look presentable, at least. When I get in, he gets to the driver seat and begins to drive us back to the Manor. This reminds me of the first time Aunt Penelope took me there and also reminds me I've not heard from her ever since then. But before I can think of her for too long, Alex tells me that they all went jogging and haven't returned yet so when we get home, meeting the silent house and reach my room, I'm not not exactly sure about how I feel with the fact that there's a big bulge under my comforter. I poke at it with my bat. It growls, making me m

My hand moves to his hair though it freezes when Cream says "Don't. He'd wrap around you tighter. He's a hoarder when he sleeps" Cream's voice is cold. Like rain pouring over my body that has goosebumps coming on my skin before he reaches out to brush Mel's hair. The boy let's out a small sigh, immediately letting go of me and holding Cream's hand. Tight. "Isn't-" I look at him "Your hand, isn't it going to bruise?" He shakes his head "I won't feel it" "But-" "Go change for dinner" He cuts in. His tone is cold as always but there's no sharpness to it "Caramel and I would be there soon" I nod. When I'm at the table for dinner, my eyes fall on Strawberry who stares at me. We only do that for some seconds before he looks away, turning back to a book in his hand. So we're playing that game? Alright. Chocolate comes next, sitting at my left and in front of Strawberry who begins to have veins on his forehead as Coco begins speaking before Caramel and Cream arrive. He looks sleep

"D-Do you think she'd try leaving?" After dinner, she had asked if we had a TV and Doctor had taken her down to the basement. It was our theatre room but no one ever actually went there. Ever. It was a basement and it was mostly dark and— "I think this is a bad idea" Strawberry is still pissed though. He didn't like her reaction and I don't exactly blame him. It hurt, a bit but then with all of this. All of us. I knew it was hard to take. To imagine. Sometimes it felt like a dream. But I didn't want to wake up. "Hey. Hey" Strawberry carries me, settling me on his table with his body in-between my legs, his face moving to my neck before he begins to whisper "If she doesn't want you, that's her fucking choice. You have three men who would kill for you. One of us more so" I giggle, his breath making goosebumps fill my skin as I say "B-but I want her to like me too" I hadn't exactly expected Doctor to say Vanilla would be in a pretend relationship with me, fake sounds more hu

Her tone is sharp, cutting, which makes me look at her again. Her eyes are like the sea now, but an angry one that keeps crashing it's waves, promising to kill anyone who comes to close past it's shore.It's scary.It's…Beautiful."You survived" She's looking at me "You survived all of that. Some wouldn't. Some can't. The whole brunt of it. I can't even—"Then her voice gets colder "I could kill your parents, you know?"With the way she's looking now, I believe her "I don't—""I won't, but I could. I'm just saying" Maybe I should have been scared about the tone in her voice but I find myself standing and going behind her chair before I place my hands on her shoulders "Cream does this for Strawberry when he's stressed. I'm not sure I can replicate it but I'm willing to try""Nice to know I'm your first"I try my hardest not to blush.After a while of me kneading her shoulders, I say "Ber doesn't hate you"She says nothing so I continue "He's the one who sent me here, he just— Has a h

I dream. For the first time, I'm not inside the lighthouse where it's dark and my heart is racing a thousand miles per hour or I'm scared because Mommy could want to play one of her games and I won't win. I never win. It's outside. I'm outside. On the shore next to the sea. I can hear the waves crashing and I can tell I'm me but not me. My body is on the sand, it's warm and the air smells nice. There's an umbrella over my head and Dad's next to me, trying to make a seashell necklace. Staring at him now, through my eyes after so manu years, I realize I'd almost forgotten what he looked like. He was blond like me and yet not quite. His hair looked like golden silk, the type that makes you wonder if the sun decided to try it's luck with another creature that wasn't Rapunzel and also about gold chains and wristwatches and other shiny things. And he has green eyes, too. Emerald green eyes that I'd wondered why I never had. There was nothing remarkably similar about Dad and I, except
