I would die

I heard Lucy's loud worried shout.

'Did she have nightmare that i died or something like that? Or did she sensed my current state and ran to my room? Because it is impossible for her to know my current state. it must be that she had a nightmare and ran to my room when she woke up, today is free day, waking up at 9 a.m is pretty much normal.'

Aria who was woke up from Lucy's shout, looked around with caution and after that looked at me.

I made a message with ice magic and showed to her.

{I am paralyzed for a while. So you are free to do what you want for the time being}

"Brother! Are you alright?" Lucy shouted loudly again.

{Open the door for the Lucy first}

"I will do that master but firstly i will clean the leftover blood from your face." Aria said and got out of the bedroom with quick steps.

Afterwards she came with wet cloth and gently cleaned my face.

After cleaning my face Aria rushed out of the room.

I heard Lucy's voice from other room.

"Hello Aria. Why aren't you wearing your work clothes?" Lucy said.

"I am sorry for my clothes Lady Lucy. Master said that i was free today, that is why i didn't wear it." Aria said monotonously.

Aria was woke up abruptly from her sleep, so she was still wearing her nightgown.

"If brother said it, it is okay. Where is my brother?" Lucy asked.

"Master isn't in condition to see Lady himself because of his physical state." Aria said.

"What!? Where is my brother? Is he okay?" Lucy asked worriedly.

"Master is okay but just paralyzed for a reason." Aria said.

"Where's my brother and why?" Lucy asked.

"I don't the reason but master is in bedroom." Aria said and Lucy who heard this made her way to my room.

Lucy entered to my room and saw me and turned her back quickly.

I was wearing just a underwear, so it was pretty normal reaction for Lucy.

"Brother why are you only in your underwear!?" Lucy said loudly but she turned towards to me hesitantly because she remembered that i was paralyzed.

Lucy looked down quickly, came to my side and sat my side.

"Brother what happened?" Lucy asked quietly.

{I am just paralyzed, nothing important.}

"How did this happened?" Lucy asked and direcly looked at my eyes.

{I forcibly activated my crystal eyes and suffered backlash.}

"So that is the reason there is scent of brother's blood in this room." Lucy said and came closer to my eyes.

'How did she know that scent of blood was mine?'

"Brother's eyes aren't in good condition. You shouldn't forcibly activate it brother." Lucy said scoldingly.

{I had reason to do it.}

"I don't care your reason brother. I said you shouldn't activate it, so you shouldn't activate it until it's necessary." Lucy said.

{Why did come to my room and started to shout worryingly?}

"I felt that brother was going to separated from me, so i came here fast as possible." Lucy said quietly.

'What did she mean with that? How did she feel separation from this? I just bleed a little and paralyzed.'

{Thank you for worrying about me, but you don't have to worry about. I am just paralyzed. Go roam around with your friends.}

"No. I will take care of you brother while you are like this." Lucy said.

{You don't have to. Aria can do it instead of you. It is her job after all.}

"I said no, brother. I won't let any women get closer to my brother's side while he is vulnerable. They would take advantage of this and touch my brother's body lecherously." Lucy said seriously and nodded to herself.

{I can protect myself easily, you know this right?}

"Brother is ignorant of his beauty and wouldn't care too much if someone touch his body." Lucy said.

'She knows me well. Even though i am beautiful and i know this, i can't particularly rate it because of my lack of lust and fascination.'

{Do what you want.}

She was stubborn about this, so i let her do what she wants.

"Yes! Do you need anything brother?" Lucy asked happily.

{I don't.}

Room got quiet for a minute or so.

{I remembered that i owe you a equivalent exchange.}

"It was a joke brother. I wasn't serious about that." Lucy said embarrassedly.

{Well it doesn't matter. I said you can look at it, so you can look at it. I wouldn't mind.}

From the beginning Lucy tried hard to not look at my body and i was bored because of paralyse. So i thought that teasing her right now is good idea.

"If brother says so." Lucy said and looked at my body without restraining herself.

"Whoa! Is this how a man's body look like?" Lucy asked with amazement.

{Usually less muscular than mine but don't stare too much with amazement it's embarrassing.}

Lucy nodded understandingly and pointed at my scar.

"Can i touch it?" Lucy asked.

{Even if i am adopted we are siblings, so it is acceptable to touch my body except nether region.}

I immediately sibling zoned her.

"Siblings..." Lucy murmured with barely audible voice.

Lucy touched to the scar that caused by living armor and asked sadly. "Did this hurt too much?"

{Not much.}

"How did this happened?" Lucy asked with mix of curiosity and worry.

{I was fighting against to undead and i sent it's head away and let my guard down. Unfortunately undead was living armor and it took me by surprise because i assumed it normal undead.}

"Why did you even fight against to undead brother?" Lucy asked and raised her brow.

{I thought that it would be valuable experience.}

Sigh...

Lucy sighed and rubbed her forehead slowly.

"Don't do something dangerous before telling to me brother." Lucy scolded angrily.

"If something happens to brother, i would die. Please be more careful brother." Lucy said with serious, dark tone and put forehead to my chest.

'That is good.' i thought and made my heart beat faster with blood magic.

{You don't have to worry about it. I am taking calculative risks}

I looked at somewhere, other than Lucy and made my face flush a bit.

"Okay but be careful nevertheless." Lucy quietly and smiled.

She must have liked my increased heartbeat and blush and thought that she has a chance for me.

Room got quiet for a while until Lucy speak again.

"Anyway, can i inspect your body. I am just curious about it. I don't have any immoral ideas." Lucy said with serious expression and tone. If she didn't flushed completely, even i would believe her statement.

{Sure, go ahead.}

Lucy touched gently to my body and muscles for a while and asked curiously. "Brother how strong your arm?"

{I don't know but i can punch through someone's face and my hand would exit to back of their head.}

"Couldn't you give more normal answer brother?" Lucy asked and giggled.

{You can't escape from my hold even with your magic, if i hold you tightly.}

Lucy thought for a moment and started to giggle like pervert with red face.

{Are you okay?}

Lucy recovered herself and asked. "I am perfectly fine. Why are you asking?"

{Your face is red, so i thought that you got a fever.}

"Worry about yourself. I am perfectly fine." Lucy said and coughed.

Ahem!

"Can i look at your back too?" Lucy asked curiously.

{I read that Information affinity makes mages curious but i didn't think that it was this much.}

{You can inspect my back too but learn to hold back your curiosity, you might die because of it.}

"I understand brother, thank you for your advice." Lucy nodded and smiled happily.

After that Lucy grabbed my me and turned me slowly while feeling my body.

"Ah!"

"Brother how did these happen?" Lucy asked sadly and slided her finger down to my back linearly.

{What are you talking about Lucy?}

"How did these scars happened?" Lucy asked again.

{I didn't even injured on my back Lucy. Why would i have scar on my back? }

"But brother you have 2 long, linear scar on your back." Lucy answered seriously.

{Can you call Aria?}

"Why?" Lucy asked.

{I want to look at my back, so someone have to help me to go a mirror.}

"There is no need, I can help." Lucy said and started to chant.

After her chanting ended, i started to float.

Lucy hugged my arm and dragged me in the air to a mirror.

She turned my head and i looked at my back.

On my back there were 2 identical long, linear scars on my shoulder blades. I didn't look at my back because i wasn't curious about it. So i didn't know if this scars was new or old. I thought about asking to Aria but Lucy denied it immediately to call Aria.

{It is enough. Thank you for your help.}

"Anyting for my brother." Lucy said sweetly and dragged me back to my bed.

"Do you remember them now brother?" Lucy asked about the scars again.

{No, i don't.}

"If brother doesn't remembers it. It must me unimportant thing." Lucy said.

{Probably.}

My Intuition said that, they were pretty much important but i didn't understand it. How were some random scars on my body were important, i couldn't understand it. Thus i didn't think more than that.

{My mana got low. Do you have anything to say?}

"Can i stay by your side?" Lucy asked.

{I will sleep. Wouldn't you bored?}

"Nope." Lucy shook her head.

Lucy was sitting on my side and i needed a flesh pillow. So i made chains around of her limbs.

"What are you doing brother?" Lucy asked quietly. She was blushing, even her ears were red.

'Did she imagine that i would do something to her?'

I manipulated chains and dragged Lucy to side. Afterwards i made ice around of my arm and manipulated them to hug Lucy.

After that i disolved the ice.

"What happened to your 'mana got low' brother?" Lucy asked embarrassedly.

{Just now my mana got low.}

Lucy got quiet for a moment, hugged me back and asked. "Brother can i call you with your name?"

{Why? You don't like to call me brother?}

"No. But it is embarrassing to call you brother while we have few months difference between us." Lucy said quietly.

{I wouldn't mind it.}

I wouldn't mind it because i didn't cared how Lucy calls me.

"Thanks." Lucy said and smiled.

{I am low on mana. So save your questions for later and let me sleep.}

I closed my eyes.

"Rest well Kayle~" Lucy said sensually and kissed my cheek.

I noticed that, i made a big mistake when i said that i wouldn't mind how Lucy calls me. Well it was too late now, so i slept and didn't think this more.
