It was really early when Levy woke, surprised to be alone. Haku did tend to wake up early, but usually he would stay in bed and read. While she tried to roll over and go back to sleep, she couldn’t, and with a sigh she sat up. Deciding she might as well get ready, Levy got out of bed and walked out to the bathroom. Still a little sleep dazed, she didn’t hear the running water, only realizing after she stepped into the room that Haku was in the shower. “Ah, s-sorry!”

Levy paced back and forth in her room, nervous hands mussing her uneven hair, made even more erratic looking due to her lack of headband. Her teeth worried her swollen red lip and her eyes scanned the entire room though they never focused on anything. Underneath her breath, she kept muttering “No,” over and over.

Levy could hear someone calling her, but she was so tired. “All day…all night.” she mumbled. While she never really slept well, Levy barely got any sleep at all recently. She smiled as the soft blanket covered her, and she snuggled into it, accidentally curling around Haku’s hand in the process.

"Huh?" Levy looked up at Haku. "Well, the color is natural." People always assumed it wasn’t, but it was and Levy loved it. "As for the cut, I, uh, kinda did it myself."

"I’m Naegleria Nebiros but you can call me Nene."

"Oh, I don’t have any family so I really can’t be your sister.  I’m sorry.

"S--Seriously?"
