Summary: Amelia didn't expect to find herself with such a problem. She also didn't expect to meet and fall in love with Ludwig. (I apologize for the unrealisticness. It was based off of Gumi's Ten-Faced...)
There was nothing wrong with falling in love, they said. They said that the two made a cute couple, and they said that there would be nothing wrong with their relationship. Oh, how Amelia wanted to show the effect he had on her.
After he broke her heart, by cheating no less, she decided to hide from the world. The only one who truly knew how she was affected was her twin brother, Matthew. He knew that she was pained by the fact that she caught him in bed with… Francis of all people—Francis, thankfully, was spared since he didn’t know about their relationship—and that something was up when he caught her hugging her knees.
She smiled warmly the day after Matthew had seen her holding her knees close to her chest. “Amelia, are you alright?”
“Yes, I’m good,” she said with enthusiasm.
Matthew shrugged it off, thinking that maybe she was being more optimistic about love, and left to find Gilbert—he was going to show him the magical world of video games.
As soon as her brother left, she smiled to herself, and walked towards the table, grabbing the car keys, and went to the park. It was there that she met Ludwig Beilschmidt. The guy’s eyes were a light blue, and it seemed cold at first. The more she looked, however, the more compassion she could see within the depth.
“Ah, sorry about that.” He held his hand out for her, seeing as they had walked into each other. She smiled suddenly, batting her eyelids in what she believed to be a seductive way. His eyes widened considerably, and she couldn’t help but to smile as success was near reach.
“Would you at least give me your number,” she murmured. If this didn’t work, well, she at least had fun doing this.
He flushed slightly, but muttered, “Sure.” He wrote his number on a piece of paper that Amelia conveniently had, and quickly strode away.
“I got his number,” she murmured suddenly. “I can finally go on a date with someone normal!”
“What do you mean someone normal,” the original one asked.
“Well,” she replied. “It doesn’t look like he believes in fairies.”
“Five,” the original muttered, directing her attention to the one who had control of her body, “He was normal.”
“Shows what you know,” Four scoffed. “We both know that the guy was insane, and should’ve been locked up in the crazy hospital.”
“What do you think of Ludwig, then?” Amelia, the first, asked Four.
Four blushed unwillingly, and muttered, “He looks like an ass.”
“He looks okay,” Six suddenly spoke up. “Though, I don’t think he’s worth the time.”
“Why~? Do you think he’ll hurt us,” Nine asked Six suddenly.
“I… I don’t think he’ll like me…” Ten muttered into her knees, looking close to crying.
“He’ll like us!” Three declared suddenly, striking her “hero pose”, or whatever that was. Four could only sigh in annoyance.
“I don’t give a fuck if he likes me or not!” Four cried, flailing her arms around.
“You’re what Kiku called tsundere,” Six mumbled, looking vaguely disinterested.
“I wouldn’t mind fucking him~”
“Who are you?” Amelia couldn’t help but to stare at her in shock—none of her other personalities said things like that.
“You’re missing eight, aren’t you~? That’s who I am~”
“Oh, great. I actually have ten personalities.” Amelia muttered.
“Well, that’s your fault,” Two mumbled. “If you hadn’t allowed that asshole into your heart, we wouldn’t exist.”
“What makes you think I wanted this?!” Amelia cried. “I didn’t choose to love him, and to have my heart broken!”
“You’re the original one! You could’ve chose not to create us,” Four muttered, looking pissed for reasons not even the original Amelia could understand.
“Amelia,” Matthew suddenly said.
“Hm, Mattie?” She smiled suddenly, realizing that she was back at their house—she really shouldn’t talk to her other selves when walking around. “I couldn’t hear you; could you repeat that again?”
“Are you okay?” He looked concerned, and she couldn’t help but to feel a bit sympathetic. She was putting him through so much, and she couldn’t even bother to act normal for him.
“Yeah, I’m fine. I think I just need to sleep,” she muttered. “Night Mattie,” she cried before retiring to her room.
“Hope she feels better,” Matthew murmured before he turned to the dishes he would undoubtedly have to clean. Her ability to forget the most important things confused him, but he went along with it, if only to humor her. He just had one question—‘When did she eat?’
That was a few months ago. Now, she was here, waiting for Ludwig with her answer. She would tell him that she was only one person, and that she wouldn’t mind being with him—every side of her fell in love with him almost immediately.
She also knew that she would have a bit of everyone in her—she would be shy and quiet, and she would be boisterous and energetic. Now, she just hoped that Ludwig wouldn’t mind her personalities all meshed into one person.
