Yao sighed. Those three sibling of his left the house at exactly 10 in the morning without even bothering to wake him up. They only left a note saying:

'We're off to Hetalia High for enrollment and get our class schedule'

Years of teaching them on how to write the English alphabet, Yao knew that this was Yong Soo's handwriting. The way how messy and the way how rushed the letters were written was a dead giveaway. Yao blinked when he saw two more notes stapled on Yong Soo's.

'Don't worry about Kiku-nii, we'll take care of him'

'Kaoru,' Yao thought. 'He's such a considerate person, aru.'

'I made rice balls for you. I asked Yong Soo and Kao not to wake you up because you looked tired. I'll be fine.'

Yao blinked at the last note. Kiku's. No matter how much he's going through he's much more concerned about the other's wellbeing. Yao placed the notes in his pocket before going to the kitchen to get the rice balls Kiku made for him.

"Aiyah! Kiku placed too much salt again, aru!" Yao complained, wondering why his sibling just loves salty food.


"Mr. Kiku Honda, Mr. Im Yong Soo and Mr. Kaoru Wang?" The school registrar called. "Here are your class schedules and the list of books you'll need for each subject."

"Thank you, ma'am." Kiku said with a bow as he took the list from the woman.

'Such gifted children just like their mother.' The woman thought. 'Taking advance classes during their freshman year.'

Their mother, Maki Wang, was a Hetalia High graduate. She graduated not only being her school year's valedictorian, but also the student council president, math and science club president, debate society vice president and a member of their school's acting club. She had brought home a lot of achievements, medals and trophies for her school during her stay in Hetalia High. And now, it was her sons' turn to continue what she had started.

"Kiku, can I look at your schedule? Yours too Yong Soo." Kaoru said as he took their schedules from them. He studied Kiku's schedule first, before looking at Yong Soo's. "Kiku, we have World History 2 together. While you have Physical Education and Mathematics 3 with Yong Soo. The three of us has Performing Arts together. Yong Soo, I have Science 2 with you."

"Yaay! I have Math with Kiku-nii!" Yong Soo cheered. Seeing Kiku sigh, he placed a comforting hand on Kiku's shoulder. "I know how much you despise math. Don't worry. I'll help you, da ze."

"Thank you," Kiku said, his smile then turned into a frown. "I just don't see the point of studying those endless and complicated calculations when you aren't really going to use those in the future. You're not going to use those x and y's when paying your bills!"

Kaoru and Yong Soo chuckled as Kiku continued to rant about mathematics as they exited the school's office building. No matter how many times Kiku studies math, he just can't see how he's going to use it. In short, he doesn't like math. It's still a wonder how he keeps on getting 97 to 98 on his report card even though he barely studies math.

"Ve~ Luddy! Can we make pasta~?" A familiar voice was heard despite the noisy chatter of the incoming freshmen for the school year.

Kiku blinked. He knew that voice.

Trying to locate the source of the voice, it wasn't very long until he and his siblings caught a scent of delicious food.

"FELICIANO!" Another voice boomed followed by an "Eeeeek!" from the other. "HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO STOP MAKING PASTA IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCHOOL GROUNDS?!"

"Ve~ But I'm hungry~" The other guy named Feliciano said.

The freshmen could only stare at the two sophomores who were in the middle of the school grounds while a pot was dangling from being tied on the tree, a small fire was built right under it. The contents of the pot was boiling just right. Pasta sauce.

The blonde with a well built body sighed. "I told you to wait,"

"Ve~ I didn't hear you saying that." Feliciano said, his ever present smile plastered on his face. "I didn't hear you say that Ludwig~"

Ludwig only shook his head. A noisy Feliciano gives him a headache. A quiet Feliciano means he has a problem, it'll just give him a headache of thinking ways how to cheer up the Italian teen.

As he looked at the boiling pasta sauce, he couldn't help but notice a familiar figure standing amongst the crowd past the pot. Slightly long raven hair, small and slightly skinny body, and nearly-emotionless chocolate brown eyes.

"Kiku?" Ludwig said in a low voice but Feliciano was able to hear it. Looking at where Ludwig was staring, Feliciano's already bright smiling face brighten even more. "KIKU!" With that, he left Ludwig's side and ran towards the smaller teen.

Surprised with the sudden attention he got from Feliciano, Kiku slightly hid behind Kaoru who looked at surprised as he was.

"Ve~ Kiku~ It's you~ You're a student here in Hetalia High!" Feliciano said excitedly, waiting for Kiku to re-appear from Kaoru's back before trying to hug him.

Kiku was used to being hugged by his siblings (being groped by Yong Soo, well... he'll never get used to it), but not by the others. Feliciano's friendly hugs and Ludwig's occasional sided hugs were an exception though. He actually likes it when Feliciano hugs him, though not being tackled. And certainly not being crushed to death like what Feliciano was doing right now.

"Fe-Feliciano-kun," Kiku tried to talk, feeling the oxygen starting to leave his small frame.

"Feliciano! You're suffocating Kiku!" Ludwig said as he approached his two friends.

Realizing this, Feliciano let go of Kiku and worriedly looked at the panting teen. "Ve~ I'm sorry!"

"I-It's okay, Feli-kun." Kiku said with a smile. "Ludwig-kun, it's been a while."

"Aa. It has been," Ludwig said as he patted Kiku on the head, earning a puffed cheeks with a look of slight annoyance on his face from the smaller teen. The laughed at the look on Kiku's face. The Japanese teen tends to be childish at times, especially when it comes to facial responses. "Kaoru. Yong Soo. It's been a while since I saw you guys as well."

"Yep! We even grew taller, da ze!" Yong Soo said proudly before looking at Kiku playfully. "Except Kiku-nii~" and got a 'hey' from Kiku before laughing whole heartedly with the rest of the group.

"Ve~ Let's go to the school cafeteria and eat and chat so we could catch up!" Feliciano suggested.

"Great idea!" Yong Soo said.

"I'm going to text Yao-nii that we're staying a bit longer and we're with Ludwig and Feli." Kaoru said as he took out his phone.

"Yay~" Feliciano cheered as he took Kiku's wrist. "Ve~ Kiku! We're going to talk and eat pasta~!"

Yong Soo and Kaoru could only chuckle as they saw the slightly surprised expression in Kiku's face for being dragged around but they saw the look of happiness in his eyes. Ludwig was trying to reprimand Feliciano but it fell on deaf ears as the "Yes~ Pasta sounds good~ We're going to eat pasta~ Pasta~" continued to be heard on the school's hallway.


"Ah! Alfred! Be careful! You might accidentally bump on someone!" A light-blonde haired teen said as he tried to keep up with his brother who was carrying a tray with a mountain of hamburgers.

"Nonsense! I'm the hero! I won't let anyone get-" Whatever the older brother, who was named Alfred, was going to say was cut off as he bumped into someone. The only thing he heard besides his "oof" and the other person's "Oww" was a series of "Kiku/Kiku-nii!" from a lot of people and "Ve~! Kiku are you okay?" followed by his brother's "I told you so,"

"I'm sorry! My brother didn't see where he was going," The younger twin said as he helped Kiku to stand. He had a slight blush on his face when Kiku touched his bigger hand and smiled up to him.

"It's okay. I'm fine," Kiku said.

"Are you sure you're okay, Kiku-nii? You didn't hurt yourself or hit your head right?" Kaoru said as he and Yong Soo fused on him. "We don't have to call Yao-nii right?"

"No, no. I'm fine, really." Kiku said, slightly overwhelmed with the attention he was getting from his brothers, Ludwig and Feliciano just from a mere fall. Not to mention the worried looks he was getting from the twins in front of him.

"Im really sorry I bumped in to you." The taller twin said.

"You better be!" Was Yong Soo's harsh reply.

"Yong Soo!" Kiku reprimanded. "It' okay." Kiku smiled, addressing the American in front of him.

"I'm Alfred by the way, Alfred F. Jones." Alfred said as he extended his hand towards Kiku. "And this is my younger twin, Matthew Williams."

"You can call me Matt if you want," Matthew said as he looked at Kiku, his blush was hidden behind the polar bear doll he was hugging.

"I'm Kiku." Kiku said as he shook Alfred's hand. Alfred blushed as he realized how soft and warm Kiku's small hand was. "And this are my brothers, Yong Soo and Kaoru. My friends Ludwig and Feliciano."

"Nice to meet you guys." Alfred said, his grin already on his face. "Nice to meet you... Kiku."
