An Island From Hell
Chapter Four: The Results
Iceland's POV:
In front of the house:
Mari looks down at the envelope in his hands nervously. It has been a week since he got his blood drawn, a week since Kaoru said…what he said. Neither of which have been mentioned since then. "What's in the envelope?" Kaoru asks from behind him, making him jump a little. "I-it's the results…from the test…" Mari mutters and Kaoru blushes a little. "Ah…right…are you going to look at them?"
They both stand there silently when Mathias and Tore come up. "Sweet! The mail!" Mathias exclaims and takes it all from Mari. "Huh? Mari you got something from the hospital? OH GOD IS OUR LITTLE BOY OK!" Tore twitches and smacks him over the head with his backpack before taking the mail and handing Mari back the envelope. "I'm not going to pry, but if this idiot is right and you are sick, I would like if you told us…or at least me."
Mari nods silently as Tore helps Mathias up and drags him to the house. "Mari…why has Mathias been glaring at me all the time recently?" Kaoru asks and Mari shrugs. "Beats me, I don't try to understand the mind of an idiot." "Hm…want to go inside? Or…?" Mari looks over to Kaoru. "Let's go to your house." As they head off the door opens. "Take Mr. Puffin, he'll be lost without you." Tore says as the bird flies onto Mari's shoulder. "I'll be back by seven." Mari says and Tore nods before going back inside.
Kaoru's house:
They enter to come face to face with Im Yong Soo. "Hello Kaoru!" He smiles at Mari. "Hello Mari, Mr. Puffin." Mari nods to him before being dragged off by Kaoru. "So, are you going to open it here?" Kaoru asks and Mari stares at the envelope again. "…I don't know." He hands it over to Kaoru. "You open it for me."
Kaoru groans and takes the envelope, starting to open it. "N-NO! WAIT!" Mari yells, reaching for the envelope. "No, Mari, you need to look at it. All that money your mother unknowingly spent on it will go to waste otherwise." Kaoru points out and Mari sighs. "Fine…open it…" The brunette nods and rips it open, making Mari flinch. "Ok…do you want to know what it says?" Kaoru asks and Mari gulps nervously. "I-I guess…"
"You aren't brothers." The brunette says and Mari's eyes widen.
Norway's POV:
The house:
"What do you want, retard?" Tore asks, not looking up from his book as Mathias hovers around him. "Why do you still let them be alone! You said Kaoru likes him, didn't you!" Mathias yells and Tore sighs, flipping the page of his book. "Kaoru isn't a bad kid. He's not you…and would you stop acting like we are his parents! He isn't that much younger than us…well, me at least. Fourteen year olds can aren't lustful perverts like certain eighteen year olds…" Tore answers and Mathias pouts. "I'm not a lustful pervert!"
The smaller blonde stands up and sets his book down on the coffee table. "How many times this week have you tried to crawl into bed with me and Mari?" Tore asks, glaring down at the boy. "I was cold~!" "We live on a tropical island. Those who have lived their whole lives here don't even know what snow looks like. You were NOT cold." Mathias groans and crosses his arms. "That has nothing to do with lust at any rate." "You trying to sneak into the bathroom while I'm showering does." Tore points out as he heads to the kitchen.
"Y-you know about-! I-I mean-! I would NEVER do that!" Mathias stutters out and Tore ignores him. "Eh! Norge~! Noorrrgeeee~!" Tore groans in the kitchen as he begins to prepare dinner. "Anko uzai…" He mumbles to himself before two arms come around his waist, lifting him into a bear hug. "Norge~!" "Ah!" Tore gasps as he drops the knife he was holding into the sink.
"You're lucky that knife fell, or it would be in your eye right now." The Norwegian threatens, still hovering above the floor in Mathias' arms. "Tore you're so cute when you're playing hard to get." "I'm not playing hard to get. I'm playing 'you keep touching me and I'll castrate you in your sleep'." Tore says and Mathias gulps nervously, putting the boy down. "You're so mean, Norge~!"
The Danish man leaves the room and Tore gets back to cooking. "Anko uzai…" "You rang~?" Mathias pops up again, causing Tore to jump and cut his finger. "Shit…" "Oh no! My little Norge!" He scoops Tore into his arms and rushes him to the bathroom.
"It's just a small cute, Anko uzai." Tore points out as Mathias searches around the bathroom frantically. "Where are the bandages! OH GOD! YOU COULD GET INFECTED!" The taller teen continues to search around until Tore moves him out of the way and opens a drawer under the sink revealing bandages and other things for injuries. "Really…shouldn't you know where you put stuff in your own house?" Tore thinks for a moment. "Or did Tino take care of that stuff?"
Mathias thinks for a second. "Hm…I think Tino set up my bathroom…" "Poor guy…" Tore mumbles before walking back to the kitchen. "Eh~! Tore~! Don't go out alone!" Mathias calls and Tore speeds up. "Murder is illegal…murder is illegal…Tino must have the patience of a saint…"
Iceland POV:
Mari stares at him wide eyed. "H-he's not…?" Kaoru stares at him silently as a small tear forms in Mari's eye. "No. I lied. He is." "YOU WHAT!" Mari yells and Kaoru nods, handing him the paper. "I lied. But now you know…you want Tore as a brother." Kaoru smirks a little as Mari goes bright red. "I-I don't-!" "You do. You can't deny it anymore. Not to me at least."
Mari stares at the paper. "D-don't tell Tore…that I almost…" "Cried at the thought of not being his brother? Hm…perhaps I won't…but you have to do something for me, first." Kaoru says, his smirks growing a little. "…What?" Mari asks as Kaoru's panda crawls into his lap. "Hm…I don't know…" Kaoru says as he leans over and pets the panda. "You do know. What do you want?"
They both go silent for a minute before Kaoru mutters. "I want a kiss…" Mari gasps and stares at him in shock. "K-Kaoru…I..." He blushes and gulps nervously. "O-ok then…" Mari leans forward giving Kaoru a kiss on the cheek, making them both blush deeply. "U-um…M-Mari…I..."
"Booyyyyssss!" Im Yong Soo calls as he opens the door, receiving a death glare from Kaoru. "Dinner is done! You staying for it, Mari?" Mari shakes his head. "I-I can't! I have to go home! See you in the morning!" Kaoru goes to grab him before he runs off. "Mari-!" He hears the front door close and glares darkly at his brother. "Im Yong Soo…I'm going to kill you now." Im Yong Soo gulps nervously before running off.
The house:
Mari runs in breathless, face beet red. "Mari? Did you run home from Kaoru's house?" Tore asks and Mathias runs up. "WHAT DID HE DO! SEE! SEE! I TOLD YOU HE WOULD DO SOMETHING! THAT-!" Mathias gets elbowed in the gut by Tore. "Are you ok?" Tore asks and Mari nods, not being able to look him in the eyes. "…What's that paper? The one from the hospital?" Mari nods again and hands it to Tore. "Here."
Tore stares down at the paper and looks over to Mari. "What is this?" "DNA test. We are related. Brothers, actually." Mari mutters and Tore looks at him. "Storebror." The younger of the two looks at him confused. "Huh?" "Storebror, the Norwegian word for big brother. You have to call me it." Tore explains and Mari blushes. "N-no I don't!" "Yes you do."
Mari looks away and stomps off. "Hah! You pissed him off!" Mathias exclaims, only to have his face shoved into the nearby wall. "Shut up." Tore says and goes after Mari, following him into his bedroom. "Sorry…are you ok?" The older brother asks and Mari nods. "I'm fine…but I'm not calling you storebror." "The big brother?" "No." Tore thinks for a second. "…Onii-chan?" "NO." "How about-?" Mari cuts him off. "I'm not gonna call you any of that embarrassing stuff!"
Tore frowns and sits down on the bed with Mari. "Soo…why did you run from Kaoru's house? He didn't actually try anything on you, did he?" Mari flinches at the venomous tone to Tore's voice. "No, he just had me kiss his cheek…wh-which I didn't mind! Er-! No-! I meant to say-! T-to say-!" Tore smiles down at him and pats him on the head. "I understand. While you won't call me your storebror yet-" "Ever." Mari interjects and Tore ignores him, continuing his train of thought. "-I will still be a good one and help you out. This includes keeping Anko uzai away from your…relationship with Kaoru."
The younger boy blushes. "W-we don't have a relationship! We're friends!" Tore looks at him blankly. "A friendship is a relationship, Mari." He lets out a small chuckle. "Someone is awfully sensitive about their 'friendship' with a certain brunette…" Mari blushes even deeper red and lets out a small squeak. "Wh-what are you talking about!" Tore stares at him for awhile, making Mari uncomfortable. "Wh-what?" "So THIS is what denial looks like…"
Mari glares at him. "Not funny, storebror!" Both boys' eyes widen and they go silent. "…What did you say…?" Tore asks after a few minutes of silence and Mari's blush spreads to his ears. "N-nothing!" "No…you said it."Mari looks away. "N-no I didn't!" "Yes you did." Tore says, a small smirk on his face. "You called me storebror." "I-I-!" Mari gets cut off by Mathias running in. "HEY GUYS! YOU'VE BEEN IN HERE FOREVER! I'M WORRIED!"
Tore looks over with quite possibly the most deadly look he's given Mathias. "You…are…DEAD." Mathias gulps nervously and runs out of the room, chased by Tore. "…And Tore says I'm in denial…" Mari mutters as he hears the screams. "At least I'm not violent to the person I like…" His eyes widen and he quickly corrects himself. "I-I mean…t-to…to …" He looks at Mr. Puffin in his lap. "We'll just forget that whole statement…got it?" Mr. Puffin looks up at him before shaking his head, making Mari jump in shock. "E-Eh! You did not just shake your head no!"
After dinner:
Mari comes out of the shower and to the living room to see Tore reading a book, Mathias sleeping on his shoulder. "…You know…I've never seen a more confusing relationship than yours…" He says and Tore looks over at him. "It's best to enjoy these moments when he's silent. I'm not going to be the one to ruin it." Mari shrugs, he did have a point after all. "What are you watching? …Other than Mathias' sleeping face?"
Tore looks at him in annoyance. "I don't look at that stupid face when I don't have to. Unlike you and Kaoru, constantly staring at each other." Mari blushes and counters. "Ohhh? So now you're comparing you and Mathias to me and Kaoru? But aren't we 'in love' or something?" Tore looks at him blankly. "Ohhh so you're admitting you're in love. Congratulations. Have him over tomorrow and we'll celebrate…" He looks back down at his book and Mari twitches.
"So you aren't denying you have feelings for Mathias?" Tore answers, eyes now glued to his book. "Ohhh I have feelings for Mathias, alright. Of course they are all homicidal…" Mari smirks. "Liar. You've helped Mathias as much, if not more, than you've hurt him." Tore looks over at him darkly. "Prove it." "Well there was when you tried to get to him before Berwald could, then nursed his wounds…" Mari says and Tore flinches. "I...have to be nice to him to a certain degree. He lives with us after all. Not to mention he technically owns the house."
Tore looks at Mari confused as the boy stares at him. "…What?" "So this is what denial looks like…" Mari says, a small smirk on his lips. "Not cute, Mari." Tore points out and Mari shrugs. "I don't care if you think I'm cute…" "You're right…only Kaoru's opinion matters on that subject…" Mari blushes and glares at Tore. "That's it!" He walks up to Tore and sets Mr. Puffin on Mathias' shoulder.
Tore inwardly cringes as the bird pokes at Mathias' ear. "What the hell!" Mathias pushes the bird away before smiling at the two brothers staring at him. "Hello boys~!" "Ugh, that was not cool, Mari. I'll get you for that." Tore says and Mathias looks at him confused. "Huh? Get him for what?"
