Strongest Magic Family my ass!

"I apologize for making you worry, Elara.

I promise you, this would not happen again."

Vaan spoke as he suddenly pulled Elara close to him and placed her head on his chest. Elara widened her eyes in surprise,

"Y-Young Master V-Vaan??" She stuttered as she tried to move away.

"Stay like this for a while, I feel relaxed," Vaan spoke in a soft voice.

"…" Elara turned silent as she stopped moving and closed her eyes. Her face was red, however, since it was in the opposite direction, Vaan couldn't see that sight.

In this position, Elara could clearly hear Vaan's heartbeat, this made her feel closer to him. It was a strange, but nice feeling.

Elara's breathing stabilized as Vaan started ruffling her hair.

"Also, did you forget? It is not Young Master Vaan, you have to call me Vaan, it feels much closer this way."

"V-Vaan…"

Elara spoke up. Vaan smiled as he heard her stutter, then, he closed his eyes as well.
