He jolted out of the bed with the book on top of his bed and looked at Usui who had a dark expression.
'Yikes! someone's going to die for disturbing the devil.'
Zelal wanted to warn the person but he saw Usui walking towards the door with a murderous aura. But he knitted his brows when he saw the murderous aura instantly vanish upon opening the door.
'Who is it? Is it Hazel?'
Zelal wondered while he tried to peek through the small spaces between the door and Usui. He grumbled when he failed to see who it was until Usui yelped and moved out of the way.
Zelal widened his eyes when he saw Usui hold his stomach in pain before his eyes fell upon Stella who was glowering at them.
'Why did it have to be another devil?'
"Ouch Stella... why did you hit me?"
Usui's painful voice made Zelal gulp before he took a pillow and put it in front of him and watched her warily.
Her lips twitched when she saw how overdramatic Zelal was been but it wasn't like that at all. Zelal would never forget the last time this devil had beat them up. This devil took the liberty that we couldn't bear to hurt her to the maximum and beat us up.
He clutched the pillow and saw Stella glaring at Usui. He finally relaxed his hold on the pillow when he realized that she was angry at his brother.
'Phew!' he sighed in relief but still put the pillow in front of him as he watched the dispute in excitement.
Stella sneered, "You still have the guts to ask me the reason why I hit you, idiot?"
Usui looked at her in confusion and said, "What happened? Tell me before you vent your anger."
Stella exhaled and rubbed her nose bridge as she asked, "What did you tell me earlier? That you would explain everything to Loki if he misunderstands, right?"
Usui stood up wincing slightly.
'Damn this girl used all of her strength in that punch.'
He nodded, "Yeah" then he widened his eyes as he asked, "What? He really misunderstood us?"
Stella glowered at him making Usui crack up. He laughed so much that he gasped, "Is he an idiot?"
That's it! He's dead
Stella folded her sleeves and glowered at him.
"It is you who is the idiot. How dare you berate Loki?"
Usui covered his mouth and said amusedly, "You can't support him more than your brother, you know."
Stella growled, "I would support Loki anytime... any day"
Usui narrowed his eyes and said, "Now now, you should know that this is not the way you should talk to your older brother."
Stella scoffed, "I remember Mother teaching me not to support idiots."
Usui nodded his head in understanding.
Stella exhaled angrily at Zeke while Zeke narrowed his eyes at her.
"Argh! Stop it, you guys. Just tell us what happened before we decide whom to support, okay?"
Stella and Usui looked at Zelal before gazing back at each other and nodded stiffly.
Stella dumped her ass near Zelal and hugged his arm while Usui sat down opposite to them with narrowed eyes.
He muttered, "I should have never let you anywhere near Loki."
Stella retorted, "You don't get to say that to me, Zeke"
Usui raised his eyebrow in a threatening manner, "I do... you are my sister. You want to try me?"
Stella knitted her brows and pouted at her overprotective brother. She whined towards Zelal, "Zel, look at how Zeke is behaving."
Zelal patted her hand and frowned at his brother, "Brother, whatever the reason is, you don't get to control her."
Usui frowned but didn't disregard his words. He knew he was being unfair to her but it irked him when he saw his sister supporting that cold face punk.
Stella let out a loud hmph and turned her head away from Zeke.
Zelal rubbed his forehead tiredly watching the two siblings at loggerheads. He looked at his cousin who was pouting with an aggrieved face while his brother had a frustrated look.
He was sure that Usui was thinking of ways to slaughter Loki just so he would get his sister back.
He also knew that this could go on for hours if he let it be and decided to be the peacemaker like always. He had once tested it out of curiosity but he regretted it instantly when Stella stuck by him and complained about Usui while Usui barged into his room at night and complained about Stella.
He wasn't able to sleep because of these two that he finally intervened after three days of no sleep.
He shuddered when he thought of that happening again. So, he turned towards Stella and asked her softly, "Tell me what happened, okay?"
Stella looked at him with an aggrieved face and complained, "It's all Zeke's fault."
Usui instantly looked up and was about to argue when he saw Zelal glare at him. He bit the inside of his cheek and waited for Stella to continue.
Stella looked at Zelal and said aggrievedly, "Zeke ruined everything-"
"What?"
Usui ignored Zelal and shouted out loud. He was shocked when he heard her accuse him of something he didn't do... well, he wanted her to stay away from Loki but he didn't act on it... yet.
Usui approached Stella and knelt on the floor and held her hands, "I didn't do anything, Stella. Trust me"
Stella exhaled exasperatedly and pried her hands out and said, "Would you let me complete first? I have had enough of people second-guessing everything. I have used up my quota of patience for today so if you don't shut up now, I would sew your mouth shut."
