Authors note; sorry I haven't touched this since I first made it I had cast it aside to work on The Woods so imma slowly return to this story but I won't update it as frequently as the other because my ideas are flowing faster for it than this one. Hope youenjoy this sadly shorter chapter conspired to the very lengthy two I gave you guys.

Judai's POV

I was feeling pretty much like trash. My eyes were swollen puffy and red and my chest felt like it was full of led. My mood was even taking a dive with how everything was falling apart around me.

If it hadn't been for Kenzan Johan and Jehu I think I would've done something terrible to myself. I can barely function, if these three hadn't been in my house to make sure I was eating breathing and going to the toilet just fine, I'm sure I would've starved myself and my cousin would've found a skeleton on the couch when Yubel dropped in.

'That's right… Yubel's coming… hopefully her yandere self stayed home…' Yubel was a wonderful person, however when we grew up together she developed a complex over me and gets highly defensive if anything involved me.

He hadn't seen her since she went off to college and that was a while ago, so long ago I couldn't remember at the moment, what with my brain being as sluggish as someone the next morning of an all night party.

Johan was having a somewhat decent conversation with Kenzan, who was helping Jehu teach his younger sibling a bit more Japanese which he was finally getting the hang of. The teal haired beauty next to me had a huge smile on his face as he listened to his brother and Kenzan doing his best to match the words with his mouth.

I let out a shallow sigh as I rubbed the crust from my eyes looking at the three of them from my place on the couch. They were seated at the counter top kitchen area, Johan writing down in a notebook pronunciations and meanings to some of the words Kenzan was explaining to him.

It wasn't fair, honestly. I pouted slightly looking at the tv. I had wanted to get close to the cute foreign neighbor without all this depressive stuff. Johan didnt deserve to get swept up in my messed up existence just because I had accidentally dialed him the same time I had my break down after the phone call from the hospital.

Jehu begged to differ having taken me aside earlier and explaining that Johan cared little about how the two got close, that he was thankful for someone who was patient with the language boundary between the two of us.

I never thought of it as an issue. I could understand Johan well enough especially with how expressive he was and his soft touch. The boy could've been an angel in disguise he was so caring!

I feel almost too lucky to have the cute Norwegian boy wanting my company. I wasn't gonna turn him away, no way in hell! I must've been so lost in my head that Kenzan spooked me by flicking the back of my neck with his pencil. "AAH!" I turned to see the laughing dumbass fall out of his chair.

"I didn't think that would make you scream!" Kenzan held his sides laughing while the two foreign boys looked confused at each other before they looked between me and Kenzan who finally controlled himself long enough to stand back up.

"You shit head…" I grumbled annoyed by his fit of laughter, but it was short lived when I couldn't keep the smirk from falling onto my face.

"I don't wanna hear that from you, your head already looks like a pile of dino crap!" Kenzan retorted poking his finger at my head which I slapped his hand away before trying to pull off his bandana. "Says the one who's whole family is in the business of getting dirty with dino's."

My explanation of Kenzan's family was lazy. The truth is his father and uncle were archeologists. His cousin Jim who's close to their age, often travels with his uncle, but for now is living with Kenzan because his father told the croc loving Aussie that he needed a better education if he was gonna eventually join the two full time.

He wasn't wrong, Jim had the worst social skills and often said whatever came to mind, insulting or not. Speak of the devil, Jim knocks on the door three times before opening the door seeing the two of us on the floor with me still trying to remove Kenzan's bandana.

"Shit cuz, I thought you were stronger than that. You letting that string bean get on top of you like that."

"He's trying to rip my bandana off! And quit your colorful commentary! Go fly back home to New Zealand and drop your croc in a swamp on your way there!" Kenzan hollared at the Tall Aussie male, dressed in a white button down shirt black pants with twin belts and decent leather boots.

To me he looked more dressed like a cowboy than what someone hailing from Australia would tend to dress. "How cruel, my little cousin. I would be offended if I actually gave two cups of kangaroo piss on what you thought."

"How about I give you a cup of mine and you scram before I shove my steel toed boot up that high horse you call an ass!" Kenzan threw me off of him to tackle his tall cousin to the ground the two throwing curses and slangs at each other that clearly had me dumbfounded but even my foreign guests even more confused.

"Anyway let's get Cousin. Auntie wants us to get grocheries she plans on cooking a buffet tonight." The fight ended as quickly as it started with Jim lifting his cousin by his belt and waist band before giving a quick wave to the two blue haired Norwegian males behind me

"Welcome to ze Neighborhood my fellow foreigners! Ciao for now." Jim quickly threw his cousin out the door and slammed it behind him.

I take a quick glance to Johan who was blinking a puzzled expression layered his face as he mumbled something. "det er noen merkelige søskenbarn." Jehu nodded in agreement over whatever the lighter teal haired cutie said.

I didn't bother asking what he said cause Jehu asked me something relating to the two dumbasses in general. "They're related right…" I nodded hastily ruffling the back of my head letting out an awkward chuckle.

"They're such a mess sometimes…" I muttered sweat dropping as the two brother eventually dissolved from their confusion into a fit of laughter catching me off guard and by surprise.

"They got the same… how you say…expression!" Johan chuckled wiping a tear from his emerald eyes as a smile plastered his face. I turned pink and looked away from him.

Damnit! He's too damn cute, and his smile is even cuter to look at. I would stare at it more but I don't want him to notice the blush on my face. Then again he might just think I'm sick again.

I had blushed earlier when the clueless boy had touched my hand and had instantly thought I was sick, to the point he nearly carried me to my room firefighter style with me screaming out my lungs for him to put me down, but that just resulted in my face getting more hot as I got to look at his ass from a good angle. Curse me and this damn mind of mine!

"Ju-Chan your not sick again, right?" Johan felt my forehead which made me dive to rest my head on the counter to avoid his hand mostly to keep the blush on my face hidden.

"I'm fine Johan! Nothing wrong with me~ Lets order some pizza, okay?" I quickly interrupted him as I reached for my cell to call the closest joint which served the best breadsticks alongside the thickest pizza in town.

The blue haired cutie pouted but eventually dropped the subject as I ordered pizza for the three of us while Johan and Jehu took to my couch and searched the channels looking for anything decent to watch.

Xxx

2 hours later and two and half pizza's eatened later Jehu was passed out in the arm chair next to me and Johan on the couch, the only awkward part was Johan's head was in my lap. My face burned heavily feeling him pratically cuddle my lap, tho I couldnt resist running my hand through his blue short locks as Johan mumbled in his sleep, making him seem almost like a sleeping prince.

GOD Judai where is your head right now! I shook my head as the blush spread across my face again. I look down at him and noticed the blue haired beauty shiver slightly. I reached for the blanket on the back of the couch, the same one Johan had wrapped me up in previously when we sat on the couch earlier yesterday.

I covered him up gingerly smiling down at his sleeping face. his expression while asleep was almost childlike and innocent, tho I know hes been through a lot having to had taken care of his parents estate when they passed away suddenly from Covid, and having to do it all by himself mustve been awful. I stroke his hair absentmindedly staring at the movie on the tv. It was fall but they were already showing christmas movies.

Not that i minded much, i dont think im going to celebrate this year. Especially with mom in the hospital with her own bout of Covid. i dont know if the cutie sleeping in my lap celebrates stuff like that let alone what they celebrate back in Norway.

If christmas had to be one of em, i wouldn't mind celebrating with him and his brother. I let out a shallow sigh as I rest my head on my palm, my elbow resting on the couch arm.

I blink my eyes as my eyes go to the front door, having heard a car park. i narrow my eyes slightly. Who the hell could be there? the door knob shook as a key went in the slot and the door burst open with a cheerful cry from the person at the door.

"JUDAAAAAAI ITOKO!!! Your favorite cousin is here!~" Yubel dropped her bags in the door way as she froze seeing the current display of a dozing Johan in my lap. "WHAT THE HELL DID I WALK INTO?!?"

"ITS NOT WHAT YOU THINK, YUBEL!!! CALM DOWN! DONT YOU GET THE KITCHEN KNIFE DAMNIT!!!" I cry helplessly from the couch as she pulled the cleaver from the kitchen drawer and tried to swing it at him.

"Oi, love why you trying to behead your sweet cousin's guests?" a monotone voice spoke up his hand on Yubel's knife wielding hand. My eyes went wide seeing the almost doppelganger standing in my living room.

Dark brown slightly long hair, short bangs and a dark caramel two tone on his head as he passively looked at me with his bright golden eyes that almost seem dulled of emotions. He was pratically expressionless.

And yet he felt so threatning i had a shiver go up my back as i gulped. He managed to tear the knife away from my homicidal cousin as she wrapped her arms around him cooing.

"Haoooo-chan, theres a strange boy in my cousin's lap and your telling me not to cut him??? How cruel!!" She pouted her blue lipstick lips as her dual eye color of green and orange eyes looked down at the male next to her.

"You know the rules, dont cut anyone unless they have a weapon or look like theyre gonna mug you." The dark brunette sighed exasperated by Yubel's hyperactive antics. I felt dumbfounded by the scene between the two. The only question is who is the crazier demon to be dealing with satan's bride that is my cousin Yubel.

"Who the fuck are you…?" I asked stupidly which caused my poor head to be held in a headlock by my sweet demonic cousin. "ACK! LET GO!" I choke out as i grabbed at my cousin's tanned arms trying to pull her off of me. "DON'T DISRESPECT MY HAO-CHAN!"

"DAFAUQ IS HAO-CHAN YOU CRAZY DEMON!" She dropped me in seconds as i nearly collapsed on Johan coughing as she started prasing the male next to her. "This is Hao-chan! Hao Mestapho! He and I met in college!" She pratically clinged to the male who looked away awakwardly as she basically hugged his arm into her C cup breasts.

"Can you chill out before you wake up my guests…" I said deadpanned. I already was getting annoyed by my cousin's antics. I pitied Hao heavily because she seemed like a big handful. Well I knew she was a handful but who knew love could make you even crazier, certainly not me.

"Want me to skin you my sweet itoko?~" Yubel said pleasantly holding the knife in her hands, my blood running cold in the same instant wishing I hadnt woken up today. Kami-sama, why have you forsaken me with satan in my house???

Johan- those are some strange cousins
