Nigaito placed his now empty teacup down onto the table with a satisfied sigh. He loved days like this, when most of the Shion manor was calm and quiet. Such a feat was always rare since most of the Shions had such different personalities. To be surrounded by a great number of his family with no incidents was amazingly gratifying to the youngest Shion member. Of course, not every single member was present, which may have explained the serene atmosphere.

Nigaito was sitting on the floor beside the living room coffee table. Kaito and Kikaito were laughing quietly over something Nigaito couldn't hear, and last was Taito looking out the window with a bored expression on his face.

Calm and quiet! It was a dream come true for little Nigaito!

A short lived one…

A hand shot out of nowhere and grabbed Nigaito by the back of the scarf and lifted him cleanly off the ground.

"NIGAITIE-CHAN~! "

Nigaito's yelp of terror and the overly excited proclamation of the red Shion that had just entered the room caught the attention of the rest of the family.

"HOW'S MY FAVORITE LITTLE BROTHER DOING?!"

Akaito was practically yelling with excitement as he held poor Nigaito high in the air, scaring the poor thing to death.

"Uh-! I…! Um….!"

Nigaito stuttered helplessly, dangling from the air.

"That's WONDERFUL to hear Nigaitie-chan! Now if you'll excuse us, the older Shions have some adult topics to discuss and it's not good for youryoungearstohearYouunderstandrightOfcourseyoudoOkthanksBYE!"

Akaito zipped through his sentence with blinding speed before literally hurling Nigaito out of the living room and into the hallway. He then slammed the door shut with much more force and excitement than he probably meant.

There was a very awkward silence in the room, as the other three Shion's eyes fell on Akaito. The redhead leaned up against the door, breathing heavily, with a borderline insane smile on his face.

"A-Akaito…what was that about?" Kaito asked tentatively, wondering if his twin brother was okay.

"GUESS WHAT DAY IT IS?!"

Akaito screamed loudly to the room, ignoring Kaito's question entirely. Everyone just blinked, confused and wondering if Akaito was currently sane or not. Akaito looked excitedly from blue, to yellow, to purple Shion to see if any of them had caught on to what he was talking about or not. When he deemed none of them had, he threw his arms up into the air in excitement

"IT'S KAITO'S 21ST BIRTHDAY!"

Kaito blinked surprised but before he could react, Akaito had pulled him in for a bear hug.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABY BROTHER!"

Akaito yelled as he nuzzled and noogied Kaito. Akaito always referred to Kaito as a younger sibling despite the fact that the two were actually identical twins.

"A-akaito!" Kaito said trying to pry his brother off of him. It took some working but Kaito finally slipped out of the vice grip, but had to hold Akaito back at arms length to keep his twin brother from grabbing him again.

"It's not my birthday today! My birthday is tomorrow!"

Kaito proclaimed wondering why Akaito was acting so strange. Akaito finally stopped trying to get at Kaito and stood up straight with his overly large grin on his face.

"What do you mean 21st birthday?" Kikaito asked with confusion in his voice "Kaito was manufactured a year ago, so isn't it technically his 1st birthday?"

"Yeah, but he was programmed at age 20! So now he's 21 in my eyes!" Akaito proclaimed "And that's why I've planned out the most wonderful birthday gift EVER!"

Akaito's volume was so loud it was beginning to hurt some of the Shion's ears.

"Tonight at midnight! I'm taking you and the rest of the family to a GENTLEMAN'S CLUB!"

….

The most awkward silence fell upon the room as this sentence left Akaito's mouth. The whole room was turned to Akaito with the most incredulous stares. Akaito seemed to take no notice of the looks, and just looked around at the other three, knowing they knew that his idea was the best idea in the history of ideas.

Kaito blinked multiple times at Akaito before raising an eyebrow.

"What's a gentlemen's club?"

….

….

The loud SLAP from Kikaito's facepalm was audible for the whole room to hear. Akaito returned Kaito's series of blinks, his smile trying its hardest not to falter.

"Well…..obviously…" Akaito started slowly. "It's a club….for….gentlemen…."

Kaito tilted his head, not getting it…

"So…what? Girls aren't allowed in or something?"

Kikaito couldn't take it anymore. He doubled over in laughter, grabbing his side in support. It took all Akaito had in him not to join Kikaito. Instead, his smile only got a little bit creepier.

"W-WHAT?!"

Kaito asked thoroughly confused as to why everyone had switched from staring at Akaito to suddenly staring at Kaito.

"He's talking about a STRIP club, genius!"

Taito snapped from the window finding it unbearable to be in this horribly ridiculous atmosphere.

The blush that set onto Kaito's features after he registered Taito's comment could only rival that of Akaito's burning hair.

"You want us to….WHAT?!" Kaito yelled.

"GREAT IDEA, RIGHT?!" Akaito said punching Kaito in the shoulder harder than need be. "I've been planning your 21st birthday ever since MY 21st! No need to thank me. I love you too, dork face!"

"We were manufactured at the same time!"

"EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM IS INVITED!" Akaito said rounding to the rest of everyone. "I've cut a deal with the manager and he said food and drinks are free for us! So make sure NOT to go to bed early tonight!"

"AKAITO!"

Outside the door, Nigaito continued to sit alone in the hall, wondering what he was being left out of this time…
