Kaoru stayed at Emil's house for the whole day, and Emil never asked for him to go home. Kaoru was called by his family around dinnertime time asking if he was staying overnight. That of which he promptly said yes to, much to Emil's embarrassment. The night came and the problem of who would sleep where appeared. Kaoru insisted on sleeping with Emil, while Emil was adamant on Kaoru being outside or chained to another part of the house. Eventually they came to a compromise. Emil would sleep in his bed while Kaoru was on a mattress on the floor next to him. Emil tried to push the chained up part but Kaoru was having none of it. They did stay up till about eleven at night playing games and talking, but since yesterday was still freshish in their minds they decided to go to bed early. As they were settling down into their beds Kaoru made a show of trying to get comfortable on the floor. Then he whined about not getting a kiss goodnight. To which Emil replied that if he kept insisting he would tell Kaoru's older brother Wang Yao about this newfound need. Kaoru shuddered at the thought of his brother giving him a kiss goodnight so he relinquished his want and fell asleep.
The next morning Kaoru woke up to find Emil gone. He looked around startled, and he noticed that it was still very early in the morning. When he saw that the Icelanders bed was not made he became worried and angry. As he dashed down the stairs he heard voices one he picked out to be Emil. He slowed knowing that Emil must be fine if he was still in the house. As he got closer he could pick out the conversation.
"What do you mean Mom's in the hospital? And even more you're moving in with Mathias. Where will I go?" Said Emil quite loudly.
"You can stay here by yourself right?" Lukas answered back.
"Alone? What if the same thing happens again like the incident two days ago?"
"You can stay at my house Emil we have enough room and my siblings would love to have you" Interrupted Kaoru.
"Oh sorry did we wake you up Kaoru?" asked Lukas.
"No it's fine but I'm serious" he insisted.
"Okay that should work let me call your family to check" said Lukas, and then he left the room to get the phone in the kitchen.
Emil hunched over his face in his hands. Kaoru sat down next to him and rubbed his back comfortingly. He said nothing, for nothing had to be said between the two; Emil knew that Kaoru was there for him. When Lukas came back from explaining the situation to Kaoru's parents he found Emil, with his head on the Asian's lap asleep, while Kaoru petted his hair tenderly. Lukas laughed lightly and left a note with his new phone number, then proceeded to door leaving the two alone.
When Emil woke up for the second time that morning he was laying on the couch with a blanket draped over him. He sat up and looked around for Kaoru. Suddenly a loud bang resounded through the house and a muffled curse followed. Emil smiled and stood up blanket wrapped around his shoulders. As he arrived to the origin of the noise he saw several suitcases around a fallen Kaoru who was holding his foot.
"…what are you doing?" Emil asked staring dumbfounded at his friend.
"Uh I was packing your stuff for you when I dropped a bag on my foot. Did I wake you?" Kaoru responded looking up.
"No, I could have helped you"
"But you were so cute sleeping I couldn't bring myself to wake my little puffin"
Emil's cheeks flamed and a mixture of anger and embarrassment flooded through him "Puffin?! Where the hell did that name come from?!"
"I thought it was cute and it did sorta fit since both you and puffins are from Iceland.
"That makes me really want to hit you, just letting you know"
"Ah, my little puffin is so intimidating" said Kaoru as he stood up. When he reached his full height he cupped Emil's cheek, and leaned in and kissed his nose lightly. A whine slipped from Emil asking for Kaoru not to tease him, he surprisingly listened. Kaoru captured Emil's lips with his, and they both leaned in to the kiss. Kaoru's right hand traced Emil's side lightly, while his left held the back of his lover's neck. Emil shivered as the hand slid down his side then back up. The hand traced the hem of his shirt, and felt up Emil's side through the shirt. A gasp escaped Emil much, to Kaoru's amusement, as the hand went under his shirt. Kaoru's hand traveled and explored over Emil's stomach, and they slowly started moving up over his chest. The kisses got longer and longer, then suddenly the door slammed open.
"KAORU~!"
Kaoru growled reluctantly pulling apart from Emil. "Dear god, come on we gotta hide Emil. If he finds us-"
"Don't bother hiding brother~!"
"W-Who's that?" Stuttered Emil fear setting in.
Crashing banging was heard coming down the hallway towards them.
"It's my brother" Kaoru replied.
"Well that's obvious!" hollered Emil over the racket.
"He came to pick us up apparently."
"Then why are we avoiding him?"
"Because-" Kaoru tried but was cut off as a boy slightly taller than Kaoru slid right in front of the two.
"Found you~" the boy ran at Kaoru and tackled him.
Kaoru responded by trying to push the boy off. The two brothers rolled on the ground and shouts were heard from both of them. A solid kick to the newcomer's stomach made the man fly off. As they both stood Emil noticed the clothes that the man was wearing. He was clothed in blue and white in what looked like Korean attire. The man turned to look at Emil.
"Don't you dare Im Yong Soo he doesn't know you, or your tendencies" Kaoru said to him shifting over trying to get in front of his little puffin. Im Yong dashed at the Icelander as he tried to pull away and run. They crashed together and Emil felt hands grope his chest.
"Get off you pervert!" Emil yelled at the boy on top of him and hit him upside the head.
Kaoru grabbed his brother under the arms and pulled him off. "I told you not to Im Yong"
"Ah yeah sorry" Im Yong said to Emil, "Just couldn't help myself"
Tears pricked at Emil's eyes but he turned away not wanting them to be seen. Kaoru walked up behind him and rubbed his back gently.
"We will be ready to go in a second we just have to go grab something upstairs, right Emil" The white haired boy nodded gently and was led upstairs by his lover "You okay Emil?" asked Kaoru as they reached the others room.
"T-that was scary, I thought we were really being attacked again" Whimpered Emil as he climbed into Kaoru's arms.
"I can imagine. Sorry about Im Yong he is just really eccentric and hyper, but he didn't mean any harm okay?"
"Yeah I get it, sorry for acting like this" Said Emil as he sniffed lightly and whipped his eyes.
"No its fine you didn't know him and with what happened a few days ago, your reaction was warranted" He held his little puffin tighter.
Emil cried lightly again and Kaoru held him tighter whispering endearments until he calmed down and they could finally leave for Kaoru's house.
Emil first reaction was amazement, his second was 'gee that's big'. The house Kaoru and his family lived in was a very nice modern house, but to Emil it seemed unnecessarily big. Kaoru walked in and brought his finger to his lips telling the two behind him to be quiet, they both complied. Earlier in the car Kaoru told Emil about all the scenarios that could happen if the whole house realized that Emil was here. Kaoru wanted Emil to get used to his family gradually not suddenly like his siblings were probably planning. As the three of them made their way upstairs Emil noticed that the house was surprisingly ominous. Except for the sound of someone cooking, all was quiet. As Kaoru turned the corner he came face to face with a dark haired girl dressed in green. She looked at the envoy following Kaoru and smiled lightly.
"Please don't tell, Lien" Whispered Kaoru.
She giggled lightly then made some hand sign and walked away.
"What was that?" Asked Emil quietly
"She said that she would but I owe her a favor" Replied Kaoru sneaking down the hallway. Emil didn't reply, he knew that Kaoru knew that he understood without him confirming it. As they kept walking they heard someone walking up the stairs behind them so the quickly and quietly went into the nearest room, as the footsteps passed Im Yong tapped Kaoru's shoulder.
"What do you want?"
"Kiku's in here" Said the Korean pointing to a short black haired boy looking at them stunned.
"Ah sorry Kiku we were just trying to avoid people" Explained Kaoru.
"Why?" The boy's voice was calm and light.
"We are trying to get Emil here to his room before the other two know he's here and freak him out"
"You do have a point there, so he has met Lien?" Kiku stood up and walked over to Emil.
"Yes in the hallway" Giving his brother some space next to Emil
"Nice to meet you Emil, my name is Kiku" Bowing politely.
"Nice to meet you as well" said the Icelander being awkward.
"He is a good person I won't tell anyone until they figure out for themselves, but be careful of Yao he might get a little too happy at your friends arrival." Said Kiku turning to Kaoru
"Thank you but I already knew that" he replied opening up the door.
"No you don't. Even more than usual Kaoru" Smiled the boy happily as he went to sit down at the table he was previously at.
Kaoru shuddered and gulped loudly sweat dripping down his forehead "oh dear"
"Yep now on you go" Cheerfully said Kiku as they slipped out the door.
The three of them kept going until they reached Kaoru's room, when they got there Kaoru told Im Yong to leave and act normally. He did but gave Emil a hug before he left muttering a quick apology. Emil smiled as he left thinking that he wasn't all that bad.
"So you have met three out of five, the next two are the worst next to Im Yong. They get really excited, the oldest being Yao-sensei. He tries to act like a big brother and will probably try to make you call him that so be careful, he also gets sorta old and cranky too."
"He seems like an old man"
"Yeah he is sorta. The other is Mei she is a sweet girl but gets hyper too, she may try to get you to do something you don't want to do like dress you up like a girl."
"What the?"
"Yeah I know, anyways they will probably get here real soon so let's get you unpacked quickly." Kaoru then took Emil's stuff and went through a connecting door. On the other side was a bed and a small dresser.
"This whole room is for me?" Asked Emil astounded.
"Yes you want to stay close to me don't you? Also we can't let a guest sleep on the couch if he is staying for more than a few days"
"Ah, yeah. Well, thank you"
"No problem" They both stood there awkwardly until a bang sounded at the door. "Yep their here"
"Kaoru! Let us in I want to meet the boy!" yelled a guy behind the door.
"Stop being a creeper and then I'll let you in" replied Koru sighing.
"What about me brother?"
"You too Mei, but you guys need to calm down"
"Fine, but one at a time" Kaoru said as he opened the door.
In walked a girl with soft brown hair and a pink hair clip. She was wearing a pink Chinese style dress. "Hello!" The girl chirped happily.
"Ah hello"
"What is your name my name is Mei"
"Emil, nice to meet you" He said politely at the girl.
"Where are you from, you don't seem like you are from here?"
"Iceland, you?"
"Taiwan, sensei is from China, Lien from Vietnam, and Kiku from Japan." She explained cheerfully.
"Thank you Taiwan, Sensei is waiting so let's let him have a turn"
"Kay! Thank you Kaoru, Emil bye bye"
"Bye" Emil said as she left and in came a man with long hair pulled back in a ponytail.
"Hello aru" Said the man as he sat down in front of the two boys smiling.
"Ah hello"
"So you are Emil right aru"
"Uh yeah" Replied Emil awkwardly
"My name is Wang Yao, please treat my son well aru" and the man bowed
"Gah! Sensei! Don't do that! I'm not even related to you!" Kaoru said exasperated.
The man laughed and left the room "I'm kidding not aru"
Kaoru threw something at the door after him, and Emil blushed.
"Sorry about him" muttered Kaoru.
"Nah its fine" smiled Emil.
Kaoru got up next to Emil and grabbed his shoulders. Emil was startled "What are you doing?"
"Continuing from where we left off" Kaoru murmured into Emil's neck as he pushed the Icelander down on to his back.
"Here? Kaoru I don't think we should-" gasping slightly as the Asian straddled his hips.
"Shut up and enjoy this"
Emil couldn't reply anymore due to the fact that he was now lip locked with Kaoru, but he didn't really mind. He just hoped no one came in and saw them. Kaoru's phone went off a little while later. Even though he wanted to see who it was, Kaoru found Emil much more interesting.
After a little bit of alone time, the two finished packing and went down stairs. As they reached the bottom step Yao called out "Im Yong!" quite loudly. Hong Kong pulled Emil over to a corner and they watched the room. Suddenly Im Yong ran by cackling, with Yao red and angry right behind him. The two of them taunted each other and scuffled before Yao gave up. Emil didn't realize he was laughing until he heard his voice, he was laughing so hard he was almost crying.
"Were they really that funny?" Kaoru asked
"Yes and no" Emil gasped for breath "I have never seen siblings do that before, my brother never does that. Sorry, but your family is quite refreshing"
"I'm glad you are enjoying yourself, Emil"
Emil sighed and grinned in response taking Kaoru's hand in his. "Thanks for having me over" as soon as the words were out of his mouth a surprised blush came over him. Almost as if he never realized he was going to say that. HE tried to pull his hand away but Kaoru held on tight.
"You're welcome, and since you gave me your hand, yourself, I am never giving it back" a smirk on his lips.
"You suck" Emil pouted
"I could make a comment about that but I won't"
Emil gasped and looked at Kaoru disgusted. Kaoru just grinned evilly.
Yao then called everyone to dinner and the same antics as before happened again, and Emil wore a warm smile the entire time. Everyone went back to doing what they were doing before after dinner. Emil, Kaoru, and Mei went upstairs to go to sleep early for the night since they had school tomorrow.
As Kaoru climb into bed he faintly heard Emil humming, he was humming the same song as before. Kaoru closed his eyes at the pretty little tune and was soon asleep.
