A Small Family

"Long time no see, Haruka!"

Haruka was dumbfounded at my punch. Before he could get any further from me, I grabbed his shirt and pulled him back into another punch.

Haruka was thrown to the ground by my punches. He wore a pained and confused face.

"""QUINN!?""" Haruka and his harem shouted back at my arrival.

"Sup" Handa instantly came over to Haruka's aid, whilst taking furious looks at me.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING QUINN!?" Handa screamed at me from the floor where Haruka laid.

"Keep it quiet, the neighbour's can hear" I put my finger on my lips and hushed.

I could already see Hina and Yua angrily look at me with more emotion then they've ever expressed in school.

"Calm down, I'm not here to fight. I'm just venting out my anger" I gestured with my hands in the air.

"Obviously you are here to fight! Why did you hit me! And what do you mean 'venting out my anger'!?" Shouting from the ground, Haruka was touching his lip where he started bleeding.

"Because I like punctual and reliable people. Hey! Haruka! Do you know where's Miss Prim?" I looked around his apartment.

"Yeah! She's still in the supporter world! Why do you want to know?" I sighed.

"How do you know?" Haruka stammered before keeping his mouth shut.

"Haruka?" His face went expressionless and pale.

"HARUKA!" At this point he was shaking.

"...WE DON'T KNOW! OK! BUT WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR HER!" Calming down, I breathed in and out. I nodded peacefully at the shouting Handa.

"Then you should currently be doing that, right? But where are we?" I looked around at the room. The girl's eyes followed mine and looked around as well.

"Currently in Haruka's apartment. So...are you still looking for her at the moment?" Handa stayed silent. Yua and Hina hid behind themselves and Haruka stared blankly at the floor.

"Where were you?"

"I'm not here to judge your relationship with her. What I'm here to say is that, please be considerate of Miss Prim...She has feelings like you...Feelings especially for you" I looked at Haruka.

"At least have some morals. We don't all revolve around you, Haruka. We can't all do as you wish or please. We aren't always where you want us to be. Face the truth! Do you really think this world is like Earth!? No one is going to follow your orders or care about your feelings! Until you realise we are the same, everybody will hate you"

"But currently lots of people care about you. You must feel very lucky, right? Then if you appreciate them, at least put more effort into your relationships with them. Not everyone is being supported by lots of friends and family" I specifically looked at Handa and Yua.

"I'm just here to say that she's with me so you don't have to..." I inspected all of their faces.

"Never mind. I'm sure you didn't worry too much about her. I've said what I came for so...cya neighbour!" I slammed the door behind me.

...

I opened my apartment's door and walked inside. My apartment looked still and quiet, yet I could hear a faint whimper from my room. I sighed, I took off my shoes and tossed my card to the countertop.

Approaching my room, I softly knocked twice...

"Come in..." A weak and fragile voice spoke from the room.

I slowly opened the door to the bedroom and turned on the lights.

I saw Miss Prim lying down in the bed. Her face was looking away from the door and her whole body was covered by the sheets.

I slowly walked to the side of the bed and patted her.

"Do you wanna...talk about it" There was a long pause before I saw Miss Prim shift away from my touch. I clenched my hand tightly and stood up.

I felt like I was walking on sand and mud at the same time. I wanted to go talk to her and comfort her, but...

Everyone needs time.

She needs time to think. My talking will only effect her resolve.

Everyone faces these things in life at one point. I still remember my first break up. I remembered locking myself in my room and staring blankly at a wall for hours on end. I could only think about her. And the only way I could get over it was to keep thinking about it.

Nothing will come if you just forget it. It was better to etch it into my brain before coming to my resolve. I can't say this was the situation for everyone. But in my preference, I became a better person after coming to my resolve.

Miss Prim needs to have this same resolve.

I walked to the door and turned off the lights.

"Goodnight, Miss Prim" There silence before.

"...Goodnight, Quinn..."

I smiled at her response. I guess she's doing better. As I was about to fully close the door, Miss Prim spoke again.

"Hey Quinn?..." I looked back at Miss Prim through the small gap of the door.

"Yes? Do you need anything?" I heard a small chuckled that turned into a soft hum.

"No...remember when you said that we are the same age, right?" I looked suspiciously at Miss Prim.

"Yes?"

"Then can you call me...Lily from now on?"

...

"Quinn?..."

I didn't know what to say. Do I even talk in these situations. How do I even respond. What would people think of a student calling a teacher by her name!?

But...we're the same age right? Like the system had said, we are the same age right? So it should be...ok?

"Ummm, sure...if that's what you what Mis-...Lily" I stammered with my answer. I feel like I blew it!

"Goodnight Quinn" A more vibrant voice of...Lily's spoke to me.

"G-G-Goodnight...Lily" I heard soft giggle muffled from the sheets covering Lily's body. Though she sounded more better, I knew she was still going through some stuff.

I slowly closed the door and let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. Is this how I'm supposed to feel like?

I felt my face burn up and my mouth form into a smile. I couldn't help it!

*DING*

Huh? What could it possibly be this time?

In my confusion and disbelief, I also heard a shout of surprised inside of my room.

"MASTER!?"
