"Where are you going."

Is the first thing you heard as you tried to get off the bed, soon followed with a pair of arms around your waist, pulling you back to the bed.

"It's already morning Eki" You replied as you tried to escape from his grasp, earning a growl from behind you.

He did not like that.

"What the hell are you going to do in such early hour." He said, clearly disappointed that you are planning to leave him the first thing in the morning.

"I have work-" "Skip it" "No I can't." Both of you argued for quite sometime, you almost. Almost won. But you lost, his grip around you are so tight, but not tight enough to make you can't breathe.

"..Is your work that important?" He whispered as he slowly loosen up his arms around you, you can sense something in his voice.

You slowly turned to him, both of you stared at each other. Not saying anything, his face, doesn't really show anything,

But his eyes.

There's something in his eyes telling you that, he wants you to be by his side right now.

He isn't that vocal on telling his feelings, he also rarely show affection by action. It's hard to understand him at first, but you slowly understand him as you both continue on the relationship between you.

Your eyes soften as you placed your hand on his cheek, his eyes slowly closed as he felt your warmth on his cheek, gently nuzzling his face to your palm.

He opened his eyes again, glances at you. Silently pleading for you to not go.

You sighed in defeat, and slowly open your arms, gesturing him to come close. "Fine, just for today." You said as you felt him wrapped his arms around you once again, but his face buried under your chin.

He hummed softly as he basked in your warmth, he didn't say anything but the way he hugged you slightly tighter, is a silent thank you for you staying with him today.

A/n !

Here we goooo ! Fluff with Beloved Eki <3 Thank you for requesting !

I was curious as to why Mysta asked if I can come over, well, right now. Not like I was doing anything but, it was a little odd he asked me out of nowhere. Thinking nothing of it, I took out the spare key the guys gave me to their house and unlocked the door. When I got inside, the house was eerily quiet. Confused, I called out their names one by one.

“Mysta? Shu? Ike? Vox? Luca?”

Nothing.

That is, until I felt a chill go down my spine as I sat down on the couch. I looked around warily, feeling someone’s stare on me but I couldn’t see them. When I looked to my right for the third time, I was met with a pair of yellow eyes staring right at me. “Interesting, so you’re the girl they keep talking about.” His eerily calm voice purred with curiosity I couldn’t tell was a good or bad sign.

“Told you she would come.” A rather, snarky voice piped up from behind me. I snapped my head around to see…Mysta? Wait, but he doesn’t feel like him at the same time. His aura made him feel more…intimidating. “Stealing the brats phone was easy.”

“Now, now, what matters is that she came as intended.” Another voice spoke but from the other side of me. This time, he looked a lot like Shu but in…inverted colors? When he saw me looking at him, the grin on his face grew wider. “I’m curious to see what they like about you.”

“Hm, I agree.” Another face popped up from behind, standing next to the Mysta lookalike. His complexion was on the darker side, teal blue streaks in his silvery grey hair and mirrored Vox’s face. “Quite tiny, isn’t she? How adorable.”

Okay, now I had four guys surrounding me. “Hmph, what makes her so special anyway? She looks boring.” A voice sneered with disdain and appeared on the other side of the Mysta lookalike. He had black hair and I would’ve mistaken him for Luca dying his hair if not for the scary aura he radiated…plus he looked displeased seeing me here. Great, now I was surrounded by another one.

I ignored the panic raising inside my body and instead tried to pinpoint where have I seen these men before? Sure they looked a lot like my friends but—wait, I think Shu told me about this before.

“We have other people living in this house too, but they rarely leave their rooms. Just…be careful to not be alone with any of them. Should they come out of their rooms, at least.”

Well, he didn’t tell me they had twins—

“Everyone has a dark side…ours just happens to live with us.”

Wait a minute…don’t tell me.

God I didn’t think this was real.

So it’s true their alter egos exists?! Literally?!

My body froze as I felt their stares drill onto my skull, as if waiting for me to say something. I opened my mouth to speak but nothing could come up…I froze when I felt someone’s breath hit my ear.

“Looks like someone’s afraid. You know who we are, don’t you?” His husky voice reached my ear. “Now be a good girl and speak.”

“Y-You guys are real.” I stuttered, hearing them hum. “M-Meixul, is what they call you.”

“Hah, that name? Isn’t it their group name but backwards?” The black haired Luca—Kanekuro sneered.

“What, and you have a better one?” Ike’s alter, Eki, raised a brow at him. “It’s not like we stream like they do, we have other better things to do.”

“But to think people assume we’re not real, is quite amusing.” Shu’s alter, Hikarino, hummed amusedly. His eyes bore into mine. “You knew, didn’t you, just like Rias said.”

“Of course she knew, why else is she stupidly calm right now? Otherwise she would’ve freaked out some other way.” Oh, does he really think I’m calm right now? Sure, I’m ecstatic to know they’re their own being. And I could scream and shout that I met them in real life…but if there’s one thing they don’t know is—

“I think…we might have to take a step back.” Vox’s alter, Box, piped up almost sounding concerned. “We might’ve invaded her personal space interrogating her. Look, she’s petrified.”

…I don’t like people crowding around me.

My hands were shaking on my lap even though I fought so hard for them to keep still. There was a slight ache in my jaw for clenching it tightly and I was becoming a little dizzy from holding my breath I can hear my heart ring in my ears. Them being close to me was not helping, no matter how handsomely gorgeous they are. The guys new and never pushed past my boundaries but them…they never met me until now. I’m pretty sure they don’t know about this.

They appeared to have moved away, but still lingered closely. It was more tolerable, thankfully, but why do they have to look at me like I was some invasive species?

It went silent for a whole minute before Kanekuro spoke up with a loud sigh. “So, what’s you’re name? Obviously we can’t call you girly all the time. You know ours, so it’s only fair you tell us yours.”

“Aw, is Kuro-chan trying to get to know little (Y/n)? Cut the crap, we already know who she is.” Rias mocked him at first, before narrowing his eyes into a glare. My body stiffened up, so they know about me? Oh what the hell am I saying- of course they know about me. Apparently the others wouldn’t stop talking about me, hence why I was called over by Rias over here. “Though I have to say, you’re awfully quiet for someone who’s more known to be bubbly and whatever.”

Well that’s because I don’t know you personally.

“I think something can be arranged.” Eki spoke up, smiling ominously. “We just have to talk, right?” The others mirrored his smile and before anything could be said, one of the doors to the room slammed open.

“Hey, can I have my—“ Mysta walked down and saw all of us together. It took him a moment to realize what was in front of him. “Oh you have got to be…GUYS!!” He yelled from the top of his lungs and soon enough, the rest of Luxiem came out of their rooms appearing to have woken up.

“Jesus Mysta, why are you yelling?” Ike yawned and rubbing his eyes sleepily, then fixing his glasses on his face

“Please Mysta, you better have a good reason to have woken us up.” Vox grumbled, before turning to look over in my direction. He deadpanned for a moment before his eyes widened in alarm. “For fuck sakes—(y/n) why are you here?!” The others woke up immediately and looked over. “Didn’t Shu tell you to never be alone with them?!”

“I—“ I tried to explain myself but felt the words get caught in my throat.

“Don’t get mad at her, Vox. It’s not her fault.” Mysta defended me. His eyes narrowed at Rias, who merely smirked at him. “I wondered why you asked for my phone this morning, you sly fucker—I shouldn’t have gave it to you in the first place if you were going to trick her to coming over.”

“And you were stupid enough to blindly give it to me unlocked, dumbass.” Rias retorted.

I couldn’t keep up with all of them, but they all began yelling and arguing with each other. My breath hitched and I covered my ears, trying to curl myself into a ball. I tried to ignore the muffled noises from them. It got more and more heated until I felt someone try to gently pry my hands away. Opening my eyes, I was shocked to see it was Eki.

“Eki I swear to god—“

“Don’t test me Eveland, not while I’m in a good mood. I finally met the girl you talked so fondly about. Except this time, you’re the one scaring her. Look.” Eki held my hands that I noticed were shaking. “Her hands are shaking like a leaf.”

“Wow, and here I thought we were the bad ones.” Hikarino spoke mockingly. “We just wanted to get to know her, that’s all.”

“If we’re taking mean, don’t get me started on Kuro-chan calling her boring.” Rias brought up what he said earlier in a mocking tone. “Hurt her feelings and wanted her out.”

“Unless you want to keep your tongue, I suggest you stop talking Rias.” Kanekuro’s voice held a deadly tone to it, promising violence. “I’ll show you what’s mean.”

“Enough.” Luca’s voice radiated across the room, utterly serious than his usual lighthearted one. “You five brought her over without our permission and even cornered her when we specifically told you she doesn’t like being crowded AND edged us to raise our voices at you when she also hates that!” Their alters flinched at the intensity of his voice as it got progressively louder at the end. “We were willing to give you a chance to meet her, just not now. Instead, you did it behind our backs.”

“L-Luca, it’s okay—“

“NO, it is not okay, (Y/n).” Luca snapped, before looking guilty. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to snap at you. But as I said, it’s not okay. They brought you to our home and cornered you, a place where you considered it a safety net. Then this happens and triggered your anxiety…this will never be okay.”

My gaze softened, hearing the dejected and apologetic tone in Luca’s voice. I looked around me to see the Meixul members look just as guilty—or was hiding it well. Their silence said a lot. Gathering the courage, I got up from the couch and faced them. They looked at me with curiosity and I felt the Luxiem members do the same.

I reached my hand out, ignoring the way it was slightly shaking. “M-My name is (y/n) (l/n). We started out on a bad start, didn’t we? S-So I’d like to redo it…as friends hopefully.” Their eyes widened and looked at my outstretched hand bewildered.

“(Y/n).” Shu began. “You don’t have to—“ I shook my head, cutting him off.

“I-I want to.” I replied, keeping my eyes on their alters. “I-It’s only fair since they live here too.” One by one, they gripped onto each of my fingers carefully. It was quite hilarious how this five…six way handshake was going.

“I think I can get used to her here more often, right, Kuro-chan?” Rias nudged him playfully, earning an agitated huff in response. “Aw, so you have nothing to say to her?”

“Kanekuro.” Eki’s voice held an edge to it.

“C’mon, be nice for once.” Box urged him, with Hikarino trying to stifle a laugh. Though his eyes twinkled with amusement.

After a long minute of silence, Kanekuro looked at me in the eyes. “‘M sorry, okay?” He grumbled, looking away afterwards. I smiled, since this was the closest non violent answer I could get from him.

it was around 1AM, where you just got off your flight from the US to Sweden to meet with your family.

since there weren't any airports in the area where your family is at, you had to take a train.

however, you didn't know the nearest train station that was shown on google maps turned out to be abandoned.

you were scared, you hated being alone in a dark place, let alone an abandoned one.

then, you heard footsteps. when you looked behind you, there was no one. but then, you saw a shadow.

it was of a person with a hood, they looked quite sketchy... you didn't expect them to pull out a knife, though.

you look horrified, and quickly started to run away. they chased after you. you tried looking for somewhere to hide, but first, you HAD to lose that person.

you ran around in circles, you were absolutely terrified. the only things you heard were the fast footsteps of you and that person as if you were playing a round of tag.

you started running even faster, before noticing that you might've lost them. you hid in a corner where you could still see the direction of where you ran from and just stayed silent, hoping they wouldn't find you.

you tried to calm yourself down and relax, thinking nothing will happen to you. however, you might've been wrong. they almost found you. that's right, 𝙖𝙡𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩.

when you heard them approaching you, you shut your eyes, accepting the fact your life is probably gonna end anytime now.

tears started pooling your eyes, thinking 'is this really the end?'. but suddenly, you heard footsteps.

the footsteps sounded like the footsteps of someone wearing heels, and they were fast as if they were running away from something.

your mind was flooded with thoughts about why there's 2 people now, not until those thoughts shattered when you heard a 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯.

your eyes widened, and tears broke loose. you were scared now, wondering what the fuck just happened right then and there.

it sounded like there were pools of blood coming down from the stab wound, and you hated it.

you heard a grunt right after the stab happened, then what seemed like the mystery person pulling out the knife from the body. you were scared, wondering what'll happen next.

tears kept falling from your eyes just like a waterfall during the rainy season, and it seemed like they weren't gonna stop anytime soon.

then, you heard a voice. one that seemed very hypnotizing. it sounded like a man. his voice was deep, but not as deep as one of your friends, hex's voice, yet not as high-pitched as one of your friends voice, alban's voice.

"what kind of trash preys on someone who's all alone, in an unfamiliar place?"

that was all the voice said, before it seemed like he kicked the body of the person he murdered.

you were so scared of what would've happened next. you didn't know how you got into this situation, but you couldn't even think.

you were trembling while tears were still falling, hoping that he would spare you. you still had quite a long life ahead of you, and you didn't want it to end now.

then, the man spoke again. "i fucking hate cowards like you." that was what he said, before it seemed like he spat on the body, as if that person was inferior to him.

"and you..." you heard him say before sounds of footsteps started to sound like they were coming your way. it seemed that the person had noticed you.

you started trembling even harder, you didn't want to die yet. you planned to meet your family for halloween. you didn't want to imagine how devasted they would be if they foud out you had been murdered.

"what are you doing in a place like this?" he continued, his footsteps getting closer and closer to you. you didn't want to say anything, afraid that something would happen if you did.

his footsteps continued, before it eventually stopped. he then took a turn, appearing right infront of you.

"and the way i see it, you don't even know left from right at the moment, do you?" he paused, before he started laughing, but it wasn't like a laugh you would let it from a funny joke. it was more like a psychotic laugh.

you wanted to say something, but the words were just stuck in your throat. you were scared to say anything, so you ended up staying silent.

"well... it's a good thing that i showed up. you're very lucky, that's a lot more than i can say for most people that run into me." he then said. you didn't understand what he meant by that.

"from the looks of things, it's gonna be a while until you get out of here." he paused, "so until then, why don't we get acquainted with each other? there's not a whole lot else to do here, you know?" he continued.

he then offered his hand, saying "come on. let me help you up.". you don't know why, but you immediately took his hand and got up.

when you got up, you almost tripped, but he managed to help you balance.

"see? was that so hard?" was the next thing he said when he got you up.

"now, why don't i clean the acoustics up a little? ...so we can have a more... 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘵." he then said, before snapping his fingers, and it all went dark.

Rias

When the two of you first met, he wondered why Mysta had a very shy friend like you.

You spoke to Mysta a lot, and only spoke to others when asked about something.

But the one thing he didn’t expect to find out about you was you fear of crowds and loud noises.

Rias was by himself, walking around when he heard a bunch of guys corner someone and speaking loudly with the others. It didn’t bother him until he heard your voice within the mix.

His body automatically turned and walked toward them, pushing through the crowd roughly to get to you. He froze upon seeing your shaken form, hands covering your ears.

Anger shook within his body as he turned around to give them a nasty glare. “The fuck do you think you’re doing to her?” One of the men was brave enough to question him and Rias grabbed him by the neck and squeezed it threateningly. “Her boyfriend, now back the fuck off before I snap your damn neck like a twig.”

As soon as they ran away with fear, he was about to check on you but felt a body press against his back—making him freeze. “Th-Thank you, R-Rias.”

Rias ignored the heat on his cheeks and scoffed, taking you by the hand and walking off. “Next time, call me. I’ll be your scary guard dog, sweetheart.”

Shu Hikarino

When Hikarino first met you, he found your quiet and shy nature amusing.

You’re close friends with Shu, that’s a given. The first time you two interacted you blushed heavily and avoided eye contact with him but still managed to introduce and make conversation with him.

It makes him wonder why Shu kept you away from him for so long, now he just had to know about you more.

Shu warned him to not try anything funny and Hikarino merely grinned in response.

One day, it was late at night and Shu wasn’t able to walk you home so he asked if Hikarino would do it for him. At first, he tried messing with either of you but you insisted you can walk home by yourself and left before either of them could say anything.

After being scolded by Shu, Hikarino left to go after you and what did he find? You getting cornered by a group of men and their loud drunken voices lingering in the air.

As he got closer, he saw your shaken form—eyes wide and heavy breathing—and something snapped in him. He pushed through the crowd and pulled you into his arm, gently pressing your head to his chest. You heard the beat of his heart that slowly calmed you down, as you leaned onto him more. Hikarino smiled before turning to the men with a stone cold look.

“Bother her again, and I’ll show you just how scary the night can be.” His voice sent shivers down their spine and they left without a word. Now that they’re gone, he put his attention back to you. “Let’s get you home, and I’m not leaving you alone tonight.”

Eki Eviland

Eki found it cute how shy and meek you are, almost a perfect match for his counterpart Ike.

It was almost sickening to his stomach, but he bared with it from the warning looks Ike gave him.

However, he was surprised how much he tolerated you—especially when you tried to make conversation with him and try to be friends. He played along with you, for now.

But that backfired on him when he seemed to actually enjoy your company, even going as far to complain it to Ike.

“I don’t mind if the two of you become friends, she’s been wanting to meet you for a while actually. Just…don’t hurt her, Eki.”

Oh if Ike knew he wanted to hurt someone, these disgustingly perverted men trying to put their hands on (y/n) when he left her at one of the aisle at the grocery store to check if they had butter.

Eki approached the men calmly, everyone else scurrying out of the aisle or store in general to get away because of the pure anger he radiated. When he got close, you immediately hid behind him and tried to calm your panicking state now knowing Eki was with you.

“Are these men bothering you, dear? Don’t worry, I’ll make sure they feel your pain tenfold—Oh hi Ike. Say, can you take her with you to pay for the groceries? I’ll be right there with you after dealing with these scum.” Eki never left your side after that.

Box Tenshi

To think someone as shy as you became friends with a demon like Vox, Box thinks to himself all the time since he met you. Quite amusing, he also says, he couldn’t help but be curious about you.

He feels your eyes on him when you think he’s not looking, the grin on his face grows wider when he turns to see your cheeks flush pink and look away as if you didn’t get caught.

Sure, he heard of you from Vox who speaks of you fondly—but do you know about him? Clearly so since you’re trying to hard to get close to him, is that what you call friendship?

He decided to humor you, but Vox caught on quickly and warned him to not try anything funny. Aw, the voice demon cares- Box teased him…as if he wasn’t also looking forward to your visits to see him.

Vox had a little house party but Box could care less about the noise and crowd, until he noticed you couldn’t handle it at all. At first, he wanted to tease you but after seeing how truely shaken up you were he held back and led you to his room to calm down.

Well, until one of the guests tried to take you away from him. Box narrowed his eyes and smiled that was anything but friendly. “I suggest you take your useless efforts to get laid somewhere else. I do not take lightly to share what’s mine.” His eyes dared the man to say anything else. “As if you can treat her better than me.” Once the person scurried off, he took you to his room without any problems.

“Now Darling, focus your attention on me. Breathe. There you go, nice and steady.” Box caressed your cheek gently. “No no, don’t look away now. I’m the one who you should only have eyes on.”

Kanekuro

Befriending Luca eventually meeting one of his alters, Kanekuro.

Kanekuro wondered why a shy and meek person like you are friends with someone like Luca. He didn’t know if he wanted to get to know you when he can’t even handle his counterpart.

Though he praised your rather…persistent efforts to try and make conversation with him. Were you trying to be friends with him? Ahh, good luck.

But the more you stuck around, he grew accustomed to seeing you and subtly seeked you out but just…lingered close by. It was enough for you, seeing as he didn’t lash out telling you to leave him alone.

Until one day he saw you cornered by a couple of their security men, trying to ask you out. This irked him to no end and he walked over, pulling you towards him. His body tensed when he felt you shake in his hold, breathing slightly labored. The look in his eyes changed to something dangerous as he eyed the fear stricken men in front of him.

“What the fuck did you bastards do?” He sneered at them.

“N-Nothing, sir! We apologize, w-we didn’t know she was with you!” One of them stuttered out in fear.
