A/N:I don't even know…Bamboo Blossoms refer to the fact that they are supposed to signify catastrophe (in India at least). Of course, the 'catstrophe' has been mollified to a mere chaos here, 'cos this is crack.

And no, even I don't know the pairings. I think RoChu…? But not sure. Yao seems to get a kick out of scolding poor Ivan. Idk..I don't even know if I'll continue this, but meh. Whatever.

Bamboo Blossoms

"jao-Jao is cute, da~"

"Stop poking me aru!"

"I like poking Jao-Jao though.."

Yao tried his best to ignore the annoying and childish Russian whining and trailing behind him.

"Hurry up, this is not a picnic aru."

"Sorry~"

Did he ver stop smiling?

Normally, Yao was a peaceful person. But two people seemed to completely negate the years he spent in bringing his .. more violent… emotions under contol through meditation.

And, unfortunately, one of them was right behind him, pouting and whining like a five year old child.

Which wa the last thing that a certain six foot tall Russian named Ivan Braginsky had any right to be acting (..and looking..) like.

Honestly, if Ivan had not been a master at hacking into security programs, Yao would have kicked him out years ago.

Although technically Ivan had only joined their little – ahem, ahem – family two days ago (and had been driving Yao constantly up the wall with his childish antics. Which mostly consisted of things that annoyed him to no end.

Poking his cheek, giving cute nicknames, calling him 'cute', claiming that "Jao-Jao" was his best friend, and wailing that he only wanted to be Yao's friend and making Yao's resolve – and heart – no aru, not his heart! Aiyaa, even his mind was getting stupid due to Ivan's influence – melt with that cute – no, stupid – look upon his face, to name a few.

Aiyaah! Yao sighed as the Russian ;et out another whine. He would have concluded that the Russian was his Korean cousin, Im Yong Soo's long lost twin if he had not known better (read : if he had not been present at Yong Soo's birth and - infact helped deliver the boy.

Man, talk about traumatic.)

As it was, he was only mildly toying with the idea that may be they were clones or something.

I should really stop letting kiku drag me into watching more of those animes and mangas he likes. It is obviously killing my brain cells and sanity.

What was left of it after having spent the better part of my life with Kiku, Hanon, Mei, Long, Young Soo and Ming, any way. He corrected himself.

"Jao-jao sure has a large family, da?" Ivan said, successfully managing to state the obvious again (which, him being Ivan and all , was not all that surprising when Yao considered it,

Did I say the family thing out loud? Yao wondered.

"Da! Jao said that out loud! BVut I am concerned about Jao, da. If your siblings are bothering you…"

"They are not aru! And if you even dare pursue this topic.."

"I will be dead – "

Yao nodded, satisfied that the larger man had remembered his threat.

" – faster than I can say – "

And verbatim, too. Yao felt smug, he must have done a really impressive job…

" – 'Hello Kitty, Sanrio ."

W-Well, maybe not all that impressive, after all
