"Hey, Kidou…"

"Hmm?" Kidou hummed in answer, side-glancing Gouenji on his right who was boredly looking at Endou opposite to him who seemed to be suffering with a Math homework. They were all on their Raimon uniforms, just enjoying their breaktime under a strong tree of which only Endou wasn't sitting against.

"Can you whistle without summoning your penguins?"

Kidou was caught off guard with the question. Normally, the person randomly asking menial things was Endou who, for some reason, was always contented with however the strategist answered. But now it was Gouenji who, by just looking at him, seemed to be extremely serious about it. Kidou couldn't tell if he was truly curious or just happen to be bored. Although it had the indication of both he just really didn't know what to think of it. But that didn't mean he wasn't going to answer.

"Actually, no."

Kidou saw Gouenji's face lighten in surprise and intrigue while Endou was suddenly cut off from his focus on his homework and started looking at him, eyes widened. Both reactions, he expected greatly.

"Whaaaat?! Really?!?" Endou raised his shrieky voice, getting the attention of the few people who passed and even Someoka, Handa, and Max who were against a tree a bit faraway but just opposite to them. "Then, what do you do with the penguins when they appear?!" He added, now pumping his fists on his sides.

Kidou didn't think for a second and stood up. He walked in a dramatic fashion a bit away from his friends — to make sure they weren't going to be caught in his 'move' — then stationed his index finger and thumb on his mouth. With a smirk everyone knows him to have, he bobbed his head back then whistled with all his might. Five heads from the ground instantly popped, wearing their signature smiles. From his crouched stature, he relaxed then waved his hand, calling over the blue and white creatures to get off the grass the old fashioned way.

Endou watched in awe as the little animals didn't struggle to mount themselves and simply walked side-by-side with Kidou. Gouenji simply half-smiled, then extended his hand to one of the penguins, petting its head as he did. He noticed that this particular one had its fur in a lighter blue than the others. The creature squeaked, as if in delight, at the gesture then immediately made its way to the striker and glomped him.

Gouenji, not expecting for such a cute animal to have such power, was pushed back and hit the tree with a light thump. Now that they weren't being used in attacking, it's difficult to remember that they're the vital part of the feared Koutei Penguin attacks themselves. Although, as painful as the unintentional attack was, Gouenji have forgotten about it already. The sweet smile — he might not know anything about penguins, but we was sure he know a smile when he sees one — and the comforting gesture brought a homely warm feeling to him. He let it do what it wanted, he did have weakness over adorable things, his sister is a living proof of that.

"No," Kidou reached for the penguin in Gouenji's arms with a slight violent intention, surprising the flame-themed forward. "Not this one. Hug the others," he added with a hint of annoyance.

Although a bit confused, Gouenji let it slide and shifted his attention to the other ice-dwelling creatures. At that moment, he noticed his three other teammates walking towards them.

"What in the world?! You can do something like this?!" Someoka exclaimed, already sitting down near the well-behaved animals — well, most of them. One of them was actually pecking Endou angrily on the head right now.

"Only when I whistle," Kidou supplied as if it's the most obvious thing in the world. The midfielder then went to Endou, shifted the penguin on his person to his right arm, then carried the creature with the darkest tone of blue and freed his captain from the torture he was experiencing. "Pinching their cheeks isn't very nice, Endou," he added as he felt the weight on his left arm.

"Sorry…" Endou said as he finally raised his head from the ground. "They were just soooo cute!!" He added with sudden bright features and shimmering brown eyes.

"Pfft. I bet you hug these on your sleep," Matsuno said from his crouched position where he was poking a penguin who's pulling one of his cat-shaped cap's extensions. He didn't realize but Kidou saw the small smile Max had while playing with one of the most behaved part of their little family.

"Umm… why does this one have shades?" Handa asked, pointing at the seemingly tallest of the group who had a mini completely black sunglasses covering its eyes.

"He's the leader," Kidou simply answered as he sat down while still holding two of his fluffy friends.

"That doesn't actually answer my question," Handa said with a sweatdrop.

"I like this guy…" Someoka stated as he watched the penguin beside Gouenji who was head butting the tree. Gouenji seemed to watch it in amazement too.

"He's the strongest, isn't he?" Gouenji asked holding his chin as he observed the creature even more.

Kidou decided that it was about time he got the five penguins back — wherever 'back' was — and so, he snapped his fingers, making the creatures disappear in a puff of white smoke.

"Amaziiing!!" Endou chimed joyfully as if he wasn't being attacked earlier.

"Does that answer your question?" Kidou asked, looking at Gouenji like he've done something wrong.

"Yeah…" Gouenji answered in confusion once again, not really sure what caused Kidou to be upset.

Kidou Mansion, Yuuto's room; Later that night

Kidou Yuuto went towards his king-sized dark blue bed, completely draped in a complete set of his blue penguin pajamas. He sat on the edge, opening his flip up red phone for any emails. After a few moments, he heard clicking sounds coming from the wall where the pillow part of his bed was stationed.

"Franklin, please. Stop playing with the lamp," Kidou ordered the same penguin pulling Max's headwear extensions earlier to stop pulling the electrical devices' switch by his bedside.

He didn't hear the clicking stop. He then turned his body around and watched as the tallest, sunglasses wearing creature flapped its flippers in a firm manner where Franklin could see. With that command, he stopped and slumply headed to one of the pillows, lied down and snuggled next to his already asleep darkest-toned brother.

"You did great, Rei-rei," Kidou complimented the only animal wearing an eyewear (who also happens to be the oldest of the group) who made his way to his master. Kidou gently pat him as he leaned his head over to him. The dark-themed midfielder took the sunglasses from him then watch him snuggle at the very middle, just beside the dark usually-moody Kizu.

Beside Rei-rei was a space, probably for Kidou, if the strategist would guess, then another penguin: the one with the lightest shade of blue. Beside that sweet creature was the strongest of them, of which was also known to be the bulkiest. It's the one Kidou called Goliath and also the one who took a liking to headbutting anything solid and strong.

With a small smile, Kidou removed his goggles, freeing his bloody crimson eyes. He put the eyewears (including Rei-rei's shades) down the bedside table just in front of the lamp, turned the light off, then squeezed himself at the middle of the now quiet penguins.

He pushed himself more to the left where the least number of his family were placed. As he did so, the sweetest creature among the rest squeaked in delight then hugged him. Kidou smiled as he returned the hug. But then the memories of earlier returned to him as well, making him frown. "I told you not to hug other people, didn't I, Haru?" He said as he give a little distance between him and Haru as he showed him 'the parental look.'

The penguin, who was also known to be the youngest, squeaked in apology as it slowly nodded its head. "It's good that we understand each other then," he added as he hugged the creature again.

He closed his eyes then readied himself for the wonderful hours of peaceful slumber until…

Click!

"Franklin!"
