Lovebirds

Currently Brian's first-person perspective. (1 month after the torture ended. Btw. Also, it's now the middle of January.)

It's so silent should I say something? No. Maybe? I don't know what to do!! And a certain part of me is reacting in a not so nice way! "I'm going to pee." That was a lie. My face is so red right now it probably looks like a tomato. I left out of the makeshift tent we made.

I looked up to the stars "Freedom." I said going to a tree to let myself calm down. I also did use the bathroom. "Phew." What am I feeling right now? It's been months I can't just let her death shadow my life forever I looked up to the stars "What should I do?"

(TSCG:I think you should just ask her out! But that's just me.)

"What!" I stumbled back hearing a voice in my mind. "I'd like to but I feel like I'm betraying Kyla." (C'mon boy, she'd be more proud of you moving on than staying stuck up on her.) I sighed. He's right. (Exactly! But not right now. Wait until after your training is finished.) Right again.

Once our conversation ended I looked up to the stars once again. *Crack My heart pounded. "Relax it's Sapphire." I blushed. I hope she can't see that. "You were taking a long time so I came to check up on you." She said cocking her head. Her hair had grown out long again.

The light bugs fluttered towards her at times, making her beautiful blue eyes shine.

I looked downwards. Only to see her 'blossoming.' "Are you okay?" She took some steps towards me. My crotch was reacting. Her body heat warmed me. I want to kiss her! No I can't. I am stronger than hormones. That didn't stop me from being uncomfortable. She smirked.

I can practically feel my heart breaching my lungs. "Do I make you uncomfortable?" She asked straightforwardly. "Yes.No.Maybe. I don't know what I'm feeling." I looked down after saying that sentence. C'mon! I can do better than this! But she makes me so nervous.

"I feel the same way." She got closer to me. Sapphire grabbed my face and kissed me. Her lips are so soft and warm. Her entire body is I kissed her back. I felt her hands run down my back I touched her back too. Do I even deserve to be this happy?

Sapphire…

I pulled away. I smiled at him I was in his arms. He smiled back. "We should go back it's freezing out here," Brian said. We both walked back to the tent very close to each other.

3rd person…

Once they got back to the tent, Sapphire pushed Brian on the makeshift bed. He smiled and she lay directly to the side of him in a spooning cuddle. They were finally comfortable sleeping.

Once they woke, they were silent.

Brian packed up the entire tent which was 4 sticks and a tiger fur. Into a transportable backpack. "So where do we want to go from here?" Sapphire said while walking through the forest. "I think we should start dating. Do you want to start from there?" Brian responded.

Sapphire 1st person…

"Sure." This is so awkward. I looked up a large structure can be seen. "Perfect!" He saw what I was looking at and ran too. We ran for a while around 3 hours while taking breaks. We were finally at the temple. It looked like an ice castle if anything and it had blue and white roses painted over it.

"Congrats lovebirds!" Ryhem walked towards us. "First congrats." Ryhem walked through the large gates opening. He disappeared and reappeared instantly and gave us both a hug.

"It's nice to see a new face in the family!" I blinked hard. He had been watching us that entire time!

I blushed and looked away. "So when are you getting married?" "Great-pa it's too early to talk about marriage!" Brain said pulling himself from the group hug. He frowned playfully then beckoned us inside the great spectacle.

The entire inside hall was a clean, cut crystal the reflected the blue ceiling with the white carpet. He led us to the main room with not one, not two not three but four giant staircases! He clapped once and a large team of about 300 maids and butlers came from the hallways.

Which sounds about right thinking about how gigantic the castle must be. It was probably twice the size of the academy. "At your service Sir Ryhem." They all said in unison. "Lola Oli" "Please show our new family member and Brian to the largest guest rooms." Two people in the middle came through. There was something I notice all of them had signature green eyes of the Ryhems. And somewhat blonde hair whether it was mixed with gingers or black and brown.

They walked up and we followed them. The entire castle made me feel small. After taking the gigantic amount of steps as I followed my maid Lola, she was a beautiful woman with perfect proportions that didn't make her look strange with brown and blonde hair she looked to be around 30. we stopped in front of a magnanimous room. "Here is your room." She walked in there with me. But first I had to ask a question. "Are all of you Ryhems?"

She looked back and smiled a bright smile. "Yes, of course." She responded, while opening a gigantic walk-in closet. She brought out at least twenty dresses. They looked more like party dresses.

"What are these for?" I asked as she set them on the bed. "When the Ryhems party they party hard." She said, smiling. I tried the dresses on one by one. I finally settled on one. "You look great! Brother Ryhem has chosen a great wife!" I blushed with my head down. It was around 4 pm and it was getting dark.

The main place where we first entered was filled with blonde and green-eyed people with lots of others too. If I had to say an estimate there should be around 1000-2000 people here.

A lot of footsteps rang through the halls with laughter and happiness in the air. The light re still on as I entered I saw Brian then the lights cut off and a big spotlight was shown on us.

Suddenly, a loud voice rang through the speakers. It was Ryhem. "TODAY WE ARE HERE TO PARTY AND CELEBRATE A NEW ADDITION TO THE FAMILY!!!" "HURRRAAAHHH!!!"

The entire place went wild.

"WELCOME SAPPHIRE SELAIN TO THE FAMILY!!!!!"

Loud bass music started playing. I and Brian went down the stairs he grabbed my hand and pulled me towards his chest. "So, how does it feel?" "Feels nice," I said.

I gave him a quick kiss. He went in and kissed me for longer.

They were all partying very hard. I could smell the amount of high-class wine in the air. Everybody was dancing and having a great time so we did too. Near the middle of the stadium there was a competition going on.

"DRINK DRINK DRINK!!" Brian put me on his shoulders so I could see better I was only standing at 5'6. Brian carried me over there only to see a big competition with large barrels of wine. There was 40-50 empty cups. I got down from his shoulders and walked in.

I guess I'll try. "A NEW CONTENDER CHALLENGES LOK!!!!" Ryhem shouted in the microphone. I took the bottles of wine and gulped them down 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 . Ooh I feel so woozy. "Holy! You can drink!" I weakly pumped my fist in the air.

All of a sudden I wasn't woozy anymore. "I'm back!" I shouted. "AND A SUDDEN RECOVERY!"

"Hey, Sapphire should you be doing this? You'll have an absolutely killer hangover in the morning."

I waved him off. For the rest of the night we danced and dance we got drunk and soon we were going to our rooms. We ran through the halls. To my room. Where we threw ourselves on the bed and quickly went to sleep…

When I woke up I had the most killer headache alive. Then I rushed to the bathroom and threw up. "@#$#" This doesn't feel good. The sun was just peeking through the windows. Brian woke up with the same reaction as mine. "Good morning." Brian said "Good morning to you too." I needed to shower.

I took off my clothes. "Uh aren't you forgetting someone?" He turned away and left. That felt… I don't know. I stepped into the shower extra hot. After I got out my entire clothing palette was blue and white. A knitted sweater with jean pants. After brushing my teeth I went out of my rom and went exploring. I smelled an amazing smell from a room. I followed the smell. Then I found a large dining room that had around 40 seats filled.

I spotted some familiar faces. Like Mina and Brian and his baby. I sat at one of the seats all of them sitting there had the strongest Ryhem features. Bright blonde hair and green eyes the color of life. "When did I raise such serious sour-pusses?" Rhythm said. He broke the silence and everybody suddenly became talkative.

"So you finally started dating," Mina said as I sat next to Brian with the plate in front of me. I didn't know what to say. "Yeah." Why did my voice get so quiet?

A lady that looked somewhat more similar to Brian stood up and walked over. Two glares suddenly were on Brian's and Mina's faces. "Hi, I'm Brian's and Mina's M-" "Leave. Now." Brian said in a dark tone.

"I just wanted to intro-" "Introduce yourself, yeah, Sapphire. This is Kyra, Kyra this is Sapphire. Now leave." Ryhem sighed and shook his head but didn't do anything. I stayed silent with a look of confusion. "I'm sorry okay?" Kyra said. "I've told you before sorry isn't going to fix it."

Brian said as his tone kept getting darker. "Brian calm down being angry now isn't going to do anything right now." I didn't even know why he was angry but he looked like he was about to murder somebody.

His face lightened. Kyra frowned and turned away. "Who was that?"
