Chapter 3-Meeting the Family
The rest of the day flew by since there were only two more periods after fifth. Yukina went to his locker disposing of all the textbooks he had received since he had no homework in them. The assignments he had been given were online and he'd do those later. Dajan was trailing behind him since they had stopped at his first. He was still trying to figure out at what point Dajan had gotten the basketball that was now tucked under his arm more than anything. They walked out the door leading to the outside. He followed Dajan to a white SUV and saw Amberlee and Alrik waiting.
"Where's my sister?" Dajan asked and unlocked the doors. Yukina pushed Amberlee out the way as she opened the passenger seat door and got in. Amberlee glared at him and he just smirked at her.
"That's how I felt about my food being stolen." He told her simply as he put on his seatbelt. Amberlee rolled her eyes and flicked him off as she climbed into the back seat.
"Where do you live?" Dajan asked him as he pulled off.
"Wichita Street." Yukina told him.
"Ah really Dajan live two streets over on Granada Ave." Amberlee told him.
"Yeah and I live on the street next to Dajan's Canova Cove." Alrik told him.
"I live across town." Amberlee told him simply. Yukina turned on the radio and found a good station. Yukina knew almost every song that came on and got Amberlee to sing along with several of them before Dajan pulled up to Walmart and parked.
"Since you need dishes." Dajan explained to him.
Yukina was the first to get out and hardly waited on the others to get out before making his way the entrance. Yukina loved supercenters there was a variety of so much stuff in one place. He grabbed a basket and made his way to where the food in the store was and decided to gather fruits and vegetables first. While he was checking out vegetables he heard Amberlee giggling and heard a basket moving fast. He turned to see Amberlee sitting in a basket while Alrik pushed her around. Yukina face-palmed at the sight. By the end of the trip then Amberlee and Alrik had switched someone's basket out with a basket full of condoms. Threw Skittles over the top of shelves and hit people before quickly moving. Played inside of tents, and put tampons in a man's basket. They also mixed ketchup and red food coloring on the floor in the women's feminine aisle. Yukina made note not to ever take the two idiots with him anywhere. They stopped after he went all mother hen on them yelling about home training.
"Father what's for dinner?" Alrik asked Dajan as they were making their way to the checkout lanes.
"Ask your Yukina." Dajan told him and Amberlee turned to Yukina smirking before saying, "Mother what's for dinner?" Yukina didn't know whether he should answer or not so he just sighed and told them.
"Baeckeoffe is gonna be the main course and for desert I'm making Choux." Yukina told them.
"Sounds foreign." Alrik told him.
"It's French food." Yukina told them as they finally made it to the checkout lane. It turns out the extra basket that Amberlee and Alrik had been playing with came in handy.
"I noticed you didn't buy any bread, Mom." Amberlee told him.
"I prefer to bake my own bread." He told them and they nodded their approval. Yukina had spent almost $700 worth of food. It had taken them a full hour and thirty minutes to get food and dishes. When they were loading the car security guards came out and they were asking people had they seen Amberlee and Alrik. The two had to hide in the car while Dajan and Yukina loaded the trunk with bags. When they got in and started the drive to Yukina's house it was 3:42. It took them fifteen minutes to get to Yukina's house and when they pulled into the large estate there were four extra cars at his house. He looked confused and got out. Dajan popped the trunk and Yukina heard the feet moving across the grass. Before he could look up he was swept off his feet and thrown over someone's shoulder. Whoever had him was spinning him around and he knew who it was. Not in the mood to play he brought his knees into the assailant's chest. He was instantly released and he dropped down landing on his knees. He picked himself up and dusted himself off.
"Ow, Ow Aurelien no need to be so rough." The man gasped. He glared at the electric green eyed male.
"Shut up Aaron I've told you about treating me as though I'm a rag doll." Yukina snapped and pulled his brothers neck length blondish orangeish hair, "And don't call me that."
"Still rough around the edges." His oldest brother, Alaudi, said as he came across the yard. He was paler than Yukina and had blonde hair with sky blue eyes. Yukina just shrugged at the twenty-three-year-Old's statement. His other five brothers came out of the house to see what was going on and Alrik whistled.
"What?" Yukina asked.
"Your mom must of really been trying for that girl." Alrik counted.
"Naw just one of us to look like her." Adrien said quietly pushing a loose blonde curl back into its loose ponytail.
"Can you guys be useful for one in your lives, and help me with these bags?" Yukina asked. Everyone had to make to make three trips.
"What'd ya do buy the whole store." One of the twins asked. When they were finally done everyone helped put everything up where Yukina wanted it. When they were done everyone gathered in the living room.
"You want to do the honors of introducing everyone to each other." Aaron told Yukina though it was stated like a question. Yukina was sitting on the love seat with Amberlee and Alrik beside him while Dajan sat on the floor in between his legs. Four of his brothers were sitting on the couch. The twins were sharing and arm chair. The other was sitting Indian style on the floor next to Ryoma who was in the other arm chair.
"Sure the one with the straight short blonde hair, blue eyes, and the mole under his left eye is my oldest brother Alaudi. He's twenty-three. The one beside him with the retarded hair color that's a mixture of blonde and orange in different places, with the two ear piercing, and green eyes is my second oldest brother, Aaron. He's twenty-two. The quiet one beside him with curly platinum blonde hair in the shoulder length ponytail, and light green eyes is my third oldest brother, Adrien. He's twenty one, and he had a paw shaped birth mark on his neck. The one beside him with the light blue eyes, curly blonde shoulder length hair, and all the freckles is the third youngest out of the eight of us, Astor. He doesn't say much and he's nineteen." Yukina said pointing to them individually then pointed to the twins, "The two over there that need serious freaking haircuts since there hair touches there waist with the same hair color as me, with the turquoise eyes are the twins. The one who looks like he didn't comb his hair and just put it in a ponytail that's actually sitting in the chair is Alexandre. The one sitting in his lap with the neat ponytail is Alexis, their twenty. The one sitting on the floor with the little brown pineapple ponytail, and the green eyes by Ryoma is the second youngest Aubrey. He's eighteen." Yukina told them.
"So you're the youngest." Amberlee asked.
"Yeah pretty much." Yukina shrugged.
"So why does everyone have a French name that starts with an A and you're name Yukina?" Alrik asked.
"Yukina's his middle name." Alexandre told them.
"Isn't that right, Aurelien." Alexis said smirking.
"Aurelian?" Amberlee questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes that's my first name but I prefer to go by my middle name, Yukina." Explained as the other two looked at him also.
"Okay now introduce them."
"The only girl is Amberlee. The one still into my game is Alrik. The one sitting on the floor is Dajan." Yukina said. Amberlee waved, Alrik did a head nod, and Dajan just stared at them.
"I need to start dinner." Yukina told them as he looked at the clock on the wall. He got up and Dajan followed right behind him. When they had disappeared into the kitchen everyone looked at each other until Aubrey broke the silence,
"They're totally gonna end up together." Everyone just nodded in agreement.
"Who wants to play Mario on the Wii we've got four steering wheels." Ryoma asked instantly Amberlee, Aubrey, and Astor jumped up and grabbed the other three. By the time Yukina came back after all the food was cooking Astor, Alrik, Alaudi, and Adrien were playing.
"The losers pass and so far Astor hasn't lost." Amberlee explained as she pouted.
When Astor won again then Dajan, Yukina, and Alexis grabbed the losers' wheels. Yukina and Alexis were putting sailor to shame with their colorful language. Astor and Dajan were glaring at the screen. The two of them were going tic for tac at 1st place. Everyone couldn't tell who was going to win as they watched on. By the end of the race Dajan won by a few nanoseconds which had everyone staring at the screen in disbelief.
"I didn't even know you could win by nanoseconds." Alexander said.
"Let them go against each other one on one." Adrien told everyone silently and no one rejected the idea since everyone was curious to see how it would turn out. Yukina got up to check on the food and add a few things to the Baeckeoffe. Yukina came back and they had tied with each other. After six more rounds they had each won three times each. Yukina found it very amusing seeing as Astor always won and now he had some competition.
Yukina laughed as the two of them glared at each other, then they both smirked and fist bumped.
Yukina got up to go check on the food and Dajan was right behind him. He glanced back and shook his head smiling he was starting to get used to the Spanish boy trailing him like his shadow. He wondered why the boy was so intent on following him. Then again he could just be trailing him to the kitchen so that he could be the first to get food. Yukina put on his oven mitts and pulled the tray of Choux out first and then checked the Baeckeoffe. He decided to give it another ten minutes so he looked at Dajan, who was leaning against the counter next to him.
"Can you help me set the table and the island for everyone?" Yukina asked and Dajan nodded opening the cabinets to pull out the plates, and cups.
"There are twelve of us." Yukina reminded him as he pulled out the silverware and the placemats. He went and set up the placemats and the silverware while Dajan trailed behind him setting down the plates and the cups when they were done then Yukina took the Baeckeoffe out of the oven to let it cool. Yukina walked back into the living room and they were playing Call of Duty on the PS4.
"Alright cut off the game and everyone wash their hands." He told them. When they didn't move he went and stood in front of the T.V with his hands on his hips.
"I will unhook this motherfucking game and you will lose all your progress." Yukina warned them.
"NOOO!" They yelled and hurriedly paused the game.
"Good now hurry and wash your hands while I distribute food." Yukina told them.
"Yes Mother." All of them droned and got up filing to the bathrooms.
"I see that's what you're called no matter who you're with." Dajan told him from where he was leaning against the door frame.
"Sadly yes." Yukina sighed and walked back to the kitchen.
"I see you as more of a wife." Dajan told him smirking and Yukina blushed.
"That's not any better." Yukina said and punched Dajan in the stomach since he couldn't really reach the teen's chest without swinging upwards. Dajan grunted at the impact and grabbed Yukina's wrist yanking the shorter teen into him.
"That actually hurt, Wife, what are you going to do to make it better." Dajan teased. Yukina's face heated up even more, and Dajan forced him back so that he was in between Dajan and the counter.
"I-idiot don't-" Yukina was cut off by a voice coming by the twins coming running in Alexis yelling,
"No don't do it in the kitchen. It's unsanitary." Yukina glared heatedly at the younger twin and shook his head.
"What the hell are you talking about?" he asked. The others were coming into the kitchen since they were curious about what was going on. They smirked as Yukina removed himself from inn between the counter and the taller male.
"Are you an idiot, baby brother?" Alexandre asked and flicked Yukina in the forehead.
"He is when it comes to things involving himself." Alaudi answered.
"Kept talking and I'll lock you up and starve you to death." Yukina told them in a deadpan voice. His brothers shut up knowing he was serious. Yukina made everyone sit down, so that he could serve them with no problem. He fixed everyone's plates according to their appetite. When everyone else had their food and was seated Yukina sat down with his own plate and began eating. He assumed it was delicious because everyone was chowing down mumbling to themselves. He laughed and then Amberlee broke the silence.
"Yukina earlier you said you weren't allowed to drive. So that means you can you're just not allowed."
"Yeah my dad kinda sorta taught me." He told her.
"Bullshit. That was not teaching." Aaron blurted.
"What'd he do?" Alrik asked.
"He made the police chase each one of us once we turned eighteen." Alaudi explained.
"What?!" Amberlee and Alrik said but Dajan just raised an eyebrow.
"Yea the rule was if you got caught then he had your bail money." Aubrey told them.
"And if you didn't?" Dajan asked.
"The money went down on a car." Adrien told him.
"Astor lost the cops in fifteen minutes." Alexis told them.
"Me and Alexis went at the same time we caused double the trouble for the police." Alexandre laughed.
"Two high speed road chases in one day." Aaron reminded.
"Aaron is the only one that got caught." Alaudi told them.
"I almost ran over a puppy." Aaron told them in his defense.
"You almost ran over civilians but you were worried about the dog." Astor mumbled.
"Hey the people could have moved the fuck out the way if they got hit it was their own fault but the puppy didn't know any better." Aaron protested.
"Your dad is extreme." Amberlee told them.
"We know." They said.
"He taught us how to fight by giving us basic instruction and demonstrations then sent people after us." Aubrey sighed.
"He sent a bodybuilder after me. He threw rocks at the guy then blamed it on me." Alexis whined.
"You seem to forget he had the Mafia after me I still have to watch my back to this day." Astor told his brother.
"Cause you kept kicking every normal person's ass." Alexandre said after he swallowed his food.
"Anything you're not good at?" Dajan asked Astor.
"Swimming." Astor whispered and shivered at the memory.
"How'd he teach you guys to swim."
"Took us out on one of the yachts and gave us basic swimming instructions, tied a rope around our ankle, and then pushed us overboard." Adrien explained.
"Astor's came undone and he almost drowned so now he's scared of water." Aubrey told them.
"I stay the hell out of dodge of water after that too." Amberlee admitted.
"Their dad is psycho." Ryoma told them.
Everyone was done by that point and Yukina looked at Ryoma.
"It's your week to do the dishes."
"I know I'll do them later." Ryoma groaned.
Yukina glared but decided not to comment as he let everyone eat the Choux. He was stuffing his mouth when he noticed Dajan wasn't eating any but was just watching him instead. When Yukina swallowed all of the pastry he asked Dajan,
"Why aren't you eating any?"
"I don't like sweet foods that much." Dajan told him.
"Ah but it's good try it." Yukina told him and one up to Dajan's mouth, "Please?"
Dajan sighed and he opened his mouth and took a bite. Yukina ate the other half and Dajan smirked
"It's good I just don't like sweet food." He told Yukina and ruffled his hair. Yukina blushed and turned away to keep his face hidden and continues to eat his desserts. When the desserts were all gone then it was getting pretty late and everyone left. Once Yukina made sure Ryoma had done the dishes properly he headed to his room. He stripped and got under his covers before falling asleep instantly.
