S-Sammy? Where are you Samuel?" Pan

S-Sammy? Where are you Samuel?" Pantherlily called, walking through the library Erza, Cana, Wendy, and Carla had tried during the Infinity Clock event. "Samuel? Are you in here?" Pantherlily asked as he turned a corner to reveal a monk meditating in front of a piece of the Infinity Clock. Said monk, however, was not part of the Legion Corps. "Monk. Who are you and why are you meditating in front of a piece of the Infinity Clock?" Pantherlily asked.

The monk opened one eye to look at Pantherlily before closing it and responding. "I am part of the Legion Corps. Judging by the look in your eye, you're looking for Samuel, the previous guard for this piece. He replaced himself with me so he could go looking for his brother. If you are he, then you will most likely find him at a guild called Fairy Tail." Lily gave his thanks before running back out of the library and flying back towards Fairy Tail.

(And back in Fairy Tail…)

The chatting was still going about when someone looked up and noticed a pale blue Exceed with glasses, a large hat, and a book in hand step through the guild doors. "Where is nii-san?"

"He went out looking for you. He should be back soon." Erza responded, not looking up from eating her cake.

"Nii-san went looking… for me?" Samuel blinked before continuing under his breath. "Ah, so he defies my calculations once more." Samuel blushed before sitting atop a table nearby and watching the door.

(A bit later…)

Pantherlily's heart was stepped through the guild doors only to be tackled by the very Exceed he was looking for. The very Exceed he was in love with. "Sammy. I… I found you." Lily's eyes started to water as he hugged the younger Exceed.

"Nii-san… you're choking me." Samuel gasped as Lily let go. "Nii-san, I have to tell you why I left my piece of the clock. It concerns you in a way you will most likely not prefer."

Pantherlily blinked. "What is it, Sammy?"

Samuel twiddled his paws around, nervously shuffling his feet before inhaling deeply and cringing. "I'm in love with you nii-san. I left the clock to be with you." Still, cringing, Samuel looked at the floor.

"I love you too, Samuel." Lily responded, smiling brightly.

Samuel's eyes widened in shock, confusion, and, most of all, joy. "You…. You called me by my name. And you…?
