Stuff you may want to know before reading:
In my world Taiga Kagami is the youngest of six children. He has four older sisters and one older brother. The closest one to him in age is 26. His older sisters are of the age 39, 32, 29, and 26. Taiga's oldest sister is a housewife with three children, his second oldest sister is a costume designer and married. Taiga's third sister is a famous BL manga artist and is going out with a girl (after numerous refusals from Alex), Taiga's fourth sister is a cosplayer and is the fiancé of a college football star. Taiga's only brother is 38 years old and with a pregnant wife. The older brother is considered useless by the Kagami sisters. Since he was young, Taiga was shoved around and tricked by his sister's to do what they want (cooking, dressing up, modeling for comic strips, etc.) cue Taiga's bluntness with crying women (his sisters always tricked him through crocodile tears). Taiga looks like his mother (eyebrows and all) but has his father's personality. His mother is a French chef with restaurants open internationally, she likes making him cry in fear. Taiga's father is a sympathetic man who makes horror movies. Taiga's dad ditched moving in with Taiga to go on a love cruise ship with Taiga's mother. Alex and Tatsuya have met the Kagami family and try to avoid them.
This takes place after Seirin's win against Rakuzen.

It was an awkward situation, at least for Taiga. The day started off with cooking lessons from his mother, then that happened. After the cooking lessons, Taiga and his mother went their own ways, they didn't meet up until later in the living room. To Taiga's defense, he accidently intruded on 'mommy time'.
Taiga had walked in on his mother watching a very inappropriate movie designed for female fan service. Then she made him watch with her; at the end of the movie Taiga was ready to spoon his eyes out. Never before had he wanted to spoon out his brain as much as he did now; Taiga didn't want to know what male strippers looked or danced like.
"Expect the unexpected!" his mother grinned down at him as the credits rolled quickly on the screen.
Taiga frowned, "Isn't that from a movie?" he asked.
"Yes it is" his mother nodded energetically.
Taiga got up quickly as the credits stopped and the screen went black. "Big Brother would cry if he finds out your quoting without resources" he said as he edged backwards.
His mother casted a knowing smile. "That's okay, your brother looks his best when crying" her grin cased Taiga to shudder involuntary. "Now what is the most important lesson of the day?"
"The combination of fruits and fish may sound nice but in reality are a bad idea" Taiga responded quickly, remembering the lessons earlier that morning.
"No"
"Clean up as you cook" Taiga listed something else his mother furiously ranted.
Her face showed absolute disgust as she remembered a kitchen she had visited "That kitchen was disgusting and no".
"Don't mix cleaning chemicals together" he scrunched his face as he thought of more possible 'most important' lessons of the day.
She shook her head in amusement "No, try one more recently".
He sighs in defeat "expect the unexpected" he grumbled under his breath.
Her smile was painfully bright, "Yes! Good boy, now go to the market and pick up some fish. I will show you the right way to make lemon salmon" she shooed him away as she re-winded the movie.
Taiga ran out of the room.

"Expect the unexpected"
They were so random, especially his mom. One day she would be Germany cooking for her restaurant and the next she would be in china to sightsee. His mother was the definition of random and unexpected. Or at least Kagami thought so until he opened up his front door at a knock.
"What are you doing here?" he asked immediately to the familiar sight of brown hair peppered by age, "not that it's not nice to see you" he admitted and looked down.
The elder man across from Kagami just laughed and patted the teen's head, "I'm making a movie"
Kagami lifted his head up and frowned at his father. "Why would you make a movie here?" he opened his door wider and helped his father transfer the suitcase inside, "wouldn't a more" he paused in thought, "secluded area be better?"
Grinning at his son, his father responded that he's been hired to help with a gaming company to help make a horror game's movie scenes.
"What?" Kagami asked, "why? I thought you and mom would be still on a cruise, you guys don't need money, and you don't like games" he pointed out.
His father gave a cryptic smile before sniffing the air, "Mon peu tigre, that smells delicious, what are you making?"
Kagami flushed in pride at the complement "thanks dad- hey" Kagami's eyes narrowed, "don't change the topic".
"I want to be closer to my son" his father cooed "that and your maman told me something unpleasant".
Kagami's eyes widen and jaw dropped, "you guys aren't getting a divorce?" he sounded scandalized and horrified.
His father laughed and patted him on the head, "nothing like that! Your maman would never let me escape alive she's a woman like that" his father ignored his son's comment about the start of his parent's relationship "besides I want to make sure your virtue is intact"
"Huh? Virtue? You mean a kiss?" Kagami asked confused, "Alex stole my first kiss and if you don't count her I gave my first kiss to Tatsuya".
His father looked astounded for a moment before smiling, "nothing my son, it's just that your nephew is coming here for school" his father gained a look of distaste, "the one your maman favors" meaning the one she amuses.
"What?" Kagami eyes widen again and he panics, "does he still want to get married to me?" Kagami almost cried in despair.
His father nodded sympathetically, "yes" they both heard noise coming from a different room, "but with me here you have no more spare beds!" footsteps sounded in the hall, "he has to live with grandmother" the footsteps suddenly halted.
"That's just avoiding the problem" Kagami crossed his arms.
"That's okay!" his father cheered, "your père found an excellent man for you" he smiled and Kagami felt an unease settle over him, "he is like your maman and from a good family" his father sniffed slightly and Kagami felt insulted, "my bébé garçon is going to become a Hanamiya" Kagami felt himself jolt in surprise.
"No" he interrupted quickly, "No. No. No. Not Hanamiya Makoto!" he objected violently.
"You know him already?" His father raised an eyebrow, "not in stone but why? He comes from good family and-"
"My sempai likes him" Kagami lied, "they are madly in love so cancel it" he bluffed some more.
His father gave a knowing smile, "if not him than who? Your maman wants you married or engaged".
Kagami scowled, "I'm not like my sisters and brother. What if I don't want to get engaged young?"
"Then tell that to your maman" and Kagami was suddenly reminded why he typically listens to his mother.
"What are my options?" he pleaded and a toilet flushed.
"Find one here" his father responded simply.
Kagami squinted his eyes, "find what?" he asked.
"Husband, spouse, lover, it does not matter" the old man grinned, "you have six prospects already".
Kagami tilted his head before walking into the kitchen, "what prospects?" he shouted behind him.
Kagami's father felt pity for the 'rainbow' he researched about. "Just ask your friends" the footsteps resumed walking, "is that my Petit-fils I hear?" his father smiled before kneeling down.
"Grand-père!" a voice rang out into the living room as a small projectile launched itself at the older man.
"Japanese" Kagami reminded the two dully as he pulled breakfast off the stove.
"Grandson!" his father shouted in Japanese.
"Grandpa!" his youngest grandson shout as he hugged the older man tightly.
Kagami didn't feel like he would have a headache today, but he did feel that today would be a long day.

A/N:
And so the grandfather and grandson meet again. Kagami's father knows about the GOM and their intentions for his son, what could go wrong? His father supports that relationship and maman is a sucker for romance, but the main character of this drama has yet to arrive. That's right, I'm probably going to bring the fiancé over to spice things up.
Oh, and the Hanamiyas are a family friend of the Kagami's. His mother and Hanamiya's mom are like BFFs; they would love if their sons were to get married. Maman-Kagami already has grandchildren and mama-Hanamiya doesn't like nor care for children.
On another note, I'm probably not going to update this story until December 13th. This is because of school and the sucker punches it is giving me in the gut.
