Chapter 2: My new big brother.
My week with Matthew wasn't so bad. It took him a while to brake out of his shell and talk without me leading the conservation. His blushing problem has gotten better, he still stutters a bit though. But that's okay, it just makes him adorable. I remember when I gave him a hug for the first time. It was when he made breakfast for me the next morning. He even had fed Pango his breakfast. Now many of you are thinking 'So what. My mom does that for me all the time.' Not everyone has such a great mother figure. If my mom went anywhere in the kitchen it would burn to the ground. It already happened twice. So I cook to keep a third from happening. Having someone else cook for me was such a nice change that I couldn't help but burst in happiness. I just had to hug him or I would have exploded! The poor boy looked like he was left in the sun for to long. He wouldn't stop stuttering after that. After eating his pancakes I have only one thing to say. They were totally the best pancakes EVER! I was in my own happy place while eating the syrupy goodness. He was even nice enough to put cut up strawberries into my pancake! I love this guy!
Pango had became good friends with Kumajirou. They would sleep and eat together all the time. It was so cute. I just had take pictures of them. It was like candy for the eyes. Sweet and addictive. I took some of Matthew too. When I take pictures without him knowing he would look at peace. But when I have him pose for the camera he would be blushing like my mom's ruby red lipstick.
I was hanging my newly developed pictures on my wall when the doorbell rang from downstairs.
"I'll get it!" I yelled as I ran. There on the other side was the wonderful delivery dude. Note the sarcasm. I decided to call this fowl person Mr. Rude. His scowl was still present on his face.'I'm starting to hate this guy! No, be nice Chloe. Don't lose your temper.'
"Hi Mister. How have you been?" I said giving him a pleasant smile. It was fake of course. On the inside I wanted make him cry. Oh, that was an Ivan thought! Mr. Rude just grumbled in reply. I couldn't understand what was being said but I knew it wasn't something good. He then pushed the signer into my chest, which hurt like crap, and rolled the crate into the living room. While signing my name I heard the loud slam of the crate hitting the floor. How in the world is this guy still doing this job! I'm sure I'm the not the only customer that is treated like crap! ….. I hope I'm not. Then that would mean he hates me and that's just plain hurtful.
It was at this moment that Matthew come down. He looked alert, as if someone had broken into the house. He must have heard the bang from upstairs. It does sound like someone had knocked down a door. When he saw what was really going on his expression changed to that of curiousity. He went to stand by me with Kumajirou in his arms. Pango was on Matthew's head staring down at me. He then jumped on to mine and looked at Mr. Rude with hateful glare. Seriously that is creepy. Mr. Rude then came up to me and yanked the signer from my hands. He chucked the manual at me causing Pango to hiss and Matthew to give a disapproving glare. Mr. Rude didn't pay any attention to this as he slammed the door behind him.
"That guy has some serious issues!" Matthew nodded in agreement. With a sigh I went over to the new crate.
"Who is it?" Matthew asked while looking over my shoulder. Opening the mint green envelope I held my breath.
Manual to YAO WANG UNIT.
'I got China! Yes! That's two sane people in a row! New world record!' I thought glad that I wouldn't have to worry about a crazy person for one more week.
"It's China, Matthew." I said with an excited smile. As I read the Manual I could feel Matthew read over my shoulder. "According to this the best way to wake him up is by playing Japanese or Korean music. Matthew, will you get my computer for me?" Matthew nodded and placed Kumajirou next to me on the floor before leaving. I patted Pango as I waited for him to come back.
In two minutes he brought my computer. "Thanks." Taking the computer I went to YouTube and looked up some Japanese music. Once I found what I needed I placed the computer a few feet from the crate. Putting the volume up as high as it will go, I played the song. I went to stand by Matthew and waited. With in 30 seconds of the song we heard a call from inside the box.
"Nihon!" I went to lid and carefully lift it up. China quickly sat up. He was looking around frantically most likely trying to find Japan. He looked excited, like a puppy.
"Sorry. Japan isn't here. I'm sure he'll be here someday." Yao looked at me then. He gave me a confused look on his face. I'd be confused too if I was sitting in a crate with some strange chick talking to me.
"Who are you aru?"
"Oh sorry, My name is Chloe and this..." I picked up Pango for him to see. "Is my pet ferret Pango. We're your new housemates, I guess." I couldn't say 'your our new unit!' that sounds wrong. Like I own him. Even though that may be true I'm not going to say it to his face.
"He's so cute aru!" He said while patting Pango on the head. Pango leaned his head against Yao's hand. He was enjoying the attention. I wish I could take a picture of this moment. Dang it.
"Yeah, he is. Would you like to hold him?" Yao nodded his head yes. I placed Pango in his hands and let him cuddle the little ferret. He got up from the crate and sat down on the couch. I look inside the crate to find his stuff. I found a Panda and his cloths in a smaller box. I activated the panda the same way I did for Kumajirou. The panda didn't ask questions like the polar bear did. He just blinked at me before standing up and going to sit by his master on the floor. Matthew sat on the other end of the couch. He seemed to be waiting to be noticed. Yao suddenly shivered.
"What's wrong?" I asked taking a set between the two.
"I feel as though someone is watching us aru." His voice is a bit shaky as he said this.
"Um... That would have to be Canada." I said looking at Matthew. He was already looking down with a disappointed face.
"Who?" And now Matthew has a depressed aura around his head.
"It's the large piece of land on top of America. His name is Matthew and he has the superpower to be invisible." Matthew gave me a small glare when I said that. I just gave him a smile. Matthew's glares weren't very affective.
"I still don't know who he is aru." And now Matthew was hitting his head against my shoulder.
"Forget it. What would you like to eat?" I asked while I was patting Matthew on the back trying to comfort him.
"Oh, I'll cook aru!" He said happily. The manual did say that he like to cook Chinese cuisine.
There was no way I'm going to argue with that. I hadn't had Chinese in years! Mom had us kicked out of the Chinese restruant near by. We're not aloud to come back.
After playing like ten rounds of spades with Matthew, he won six rounds and I won four. I suck at cards, Yao yelled that dinner was ready. That Chinese restaurant in the mall has nothing on Yao's cooking.
While eating Yao was asking me some questions.
"How old are you aru?"
"Fifteen, why?" I asked as I begin to drink some of my strawberry soda. ( Yes. There is such a thing.)
"Your way to young to be living by yourself aru!" concern written all over his face.
"My mom is away try to win some fighting competition. She'll be back sometime next month." I said with a shrug.
"What about your father aru?" I felt myself stiffen at the mention of my dad. Not the best of memories.
"My dad left." that was all I was going to say about that topic. Yao looked as though he just watched a puppy get shot. Matthew also looked at me with a sad expression. I wish they wouldn't look at me like that. I just kept on eating my noodles as the awkward silence filled the air. Then Yao got this determined air as he looked to me. 'Oh this can't be good. '
"From now on your my little sister aru."
"Huh?"' What was this guy talking about?'
"I will be your big brother and will look after you from now on aru." All I could do was blink at him. I was too shocked to do say anything. What could I say to that. No thank you. I don't want to be your sister. Hell, I might as well stab him in the heart. He had been hurt many times by his siblings in the past and It must be a sensitive subject for him. So once I gained my body functions back I nodded yes to his offer. As soon as I did his face lite up like a child that was given a Christmas present. I have a feeling he was going to take this very seriously.
