Yao reached the roof top of the second year building for lunch, to see everyone plus a bubbly Italian. Wait, what?
"Ciao ((Hello))!~" The Italian said, waving his hand. Yao waved back warily with a matching smile.
"Yao-Nii-San, this is Feliciano-Kun. Feliciano-Kun, Yao-Nii-San." Kiku introduced. Feliciano had followed him out of class and, being the polite Japanese teen he is, Kiku couldn't really tell him to leave. So here they were.
"Nihao, it's nice to meet one of Kiku's friends aru." Yao continued warily smiling, unsure what really to say. Feliciano on the other hand, perked up even more when hearing him being called Kiku's friend.
"Yay! Kiku and I are friends!" The Italian shouted, giving Kiku a side hug, much to him displeasure.
"Feliciano-Kun, please don't touch me..." Feliciano did as told, showing a hurt look for a second before turning back into his bubbly self, not giving it a second thought. The group ate silently. They didn't really know what to talk about with Feliciano there, who was happily eating pasta.
"Wow, you guys don't talk much." Feliciano commented, still smiling. He noticed Jun looking at him, but the Macanese teen quickly looked back down at his lunch when Feliciano turned to him. "Pasta?" The Italian offered, his hand out showing Jun his lunch. Jun only shook his head quickly, eating his meal faster than he did before.
"Feliciano!" A masculine voice shouted. It sounded a bit out of breath. The group turned to where the voice was coming from, seeing a large, blond German breathing heavily by the door to the stairs.
"Ciao, Ludwig!" Ludwig sped-walked over to the group, taking and dragging Feliciano back near the door.
"Feliciano! What did I say about hanging around that group?" Ludwig growled, making sure the Asians didn't hear what they were saying. "They can't be trusted!"
"Aww, but they're nice! Quiet, but oh so very nice!"
"They may be 'nice' now, but you can't be certain they are!"
As the two westerners talked, the Asian watched, not knowing what they were talking about, but watched. "Kiku's a trader da ze!" Yong Soo shouted, pointing at the said 'trader'. Hyung Soo was also glaring at Kiku.
"N-nani ((W-what))?" Kiku nervously stuttered.
"No! Kiku-Kun is not a trader!" Mei defended, glaring back that the two Koreans.
"Relax, you guys," Lien said, her eyes closed as she continued eating, "He doesn't seem that bad. A bit talkative and energetic, but not bad."
"Thank you, Lien-Jie!" Mei smiled, her arms crossed.
"A westerner's a westerner..." Hyung Soo mumbled. As a response, Yao smacked the back of his head. He wasn't a fan of the other students, but not all were bad, Yao had to admit. The smacked Korean rubbed the back of his head, grumbling to himself. When the group noticed Feliciano start walking back to them while dragging Ludwig by his arm, they all ceased their talking.
"Hey guys! This is Ludwig! Ludwig meet everyone!" Feliciano started, introducing the rest of the group. "You know Kiku, this is Jun, Mei, Hong," He pointed at the three, continuing on with the others, "Lien, Yong Soo, Binh, Hyung Soo, and Yao!" Yao's brows raised a bit, somewhat surprised the Italian remembered all their names so fast.
As Ludwig said hello to everyone, he stopped abruptly, turning to Yao and Hyung Soo, eyes wider than usual. "Y-Yao and Hyung Soo? Are you the ones beating up other students?" Ludwig cautiously asked. He heard most of the rumors about the Asians, including Yao and Hyung Soo. All the others' eye also widened, the Asians turning and glaring at the two while Feliciano tilted his head at his friend.
"What do you mean, Ludwig?" He asked. Feliciano hadn't really heard much of the rumors.
"Well, I have heard that yesterday, one the of new students picked a fight during class and severely injured 15 guys. Another one made the 15's condition even worse, enabling them from coming to school today," The German explained to Feliciano, who was getting more and more scared as he explained, "I'm pretty sure 'Yao' and 'Hyung Soo' were the names. And my bruder ((brother)) just told me that the one named Yao beat up Francis just earlier." Little did the Europeans know that the Asian group was slowly staring down at Yao. First it was him and Hyung Soo, but now just Yao.
"Yao..." They all said intensely.
"You picked another fight, Yao-Ge?" Mei said with annoyance.
"I didn't pick the fight last time aru! And there was only five!" Yao said back like a child trying to make up an excuse. Although, this wasn't an excuse, his explanation was the truth. Sadly, this time it was Lien who punched down on Yao's head, while standing on her knees.
"So you did pick a fight?" She shouted, Yao rubbing his new bump. Everyone just loved punching down on the exact same spot.
"L-Lien!" Binh held back the Vietnamese girl so she wouldn't get any more violent, protecting Yao.
"Ai! Frenchy had it coming! And I only punched him once aru!" Yao spat back. The other two third years tensed when hearing 'Frenchy'.
"The same one from the first day ana?" Yao nodded at Binh's question. They all heard a gasp and turned to it. The grasp came from the Italian.
"You beat up big brother Francis?" Feliciano said, trying to clarify things up. He was now starting to think the Asians were dangerous.
"Gilbert said one of them punched him in the nose." Ludwig informed Feliciano.
"Did he hit on you again?" Lien whispered into Yao's ear. The Chinese teen's cheeks started tinting pink from anger and embarrassment. Lien took that as a yes.
"You did make sure he was okay, right?" Jun asked. The others looked at him funny. Why would they want to make sure Francis was okay? He kept touching! Jun just sighed, "He's rich remember? I'm pretty sure he wouldn't hesitate for a lawsuit." Jun shook his head, pinching the roof of his nose under his glasses. The Asians' eyes all widened, their faces losing their color.
"Yao-Ge! You have to apologize!" Mei shouted, grabbing Yao's arm.
"E-eh," Yao looked down at her nervously.
"We can't afford getting sued, Yao-Nii-San!" Kiku added, holding his hands together in a pleading way. While the others were hammering on Yao, Yong Soo turned to his older twin.
"What about you, Hyung Soo-Hyeong?" He asked, more curious than worried.
"What about me?" The older twin said back.
"Well, you did give five other guys a near death experience da ze." The corner of Hyung Soo's mouth twitched upward maliciously, his face turning dark.
"I made sure they wouldn't say anything or something bad will happen..." Yong Soo nodded with a smile, not worrying about a thing. The bullies picked on Yao so they deserved whatever Hyung Soo did to them!
As for Yao...
"Aiyah! Okay, okay! Quit touching me ahen!" He shouted, waving his arms all around to get his friends away. All but Hong, Jun, and the twins were pulling his arms and shaking him to get him so apologize.
"So you're going to apologize ana?" The Asians stared Yao down. He was trying to keep his mouth shut.
"Do I really have to aru?"
"Not if you wanna get sued." Lien answered which made Yao seem to ponder upon.
"How much do you think it'd cost aru?" Lien punched his head again, a vein popping up on her head.
"Ai! Fine! I'll do it later aru..." Lien smiled victoriously as everyone else sighed with relief.
"Ve~ Ve~ you guys are so funny~" Feliciano said. The group all turned to the two Europeans, all forgetting they were still there. "I'm sure big brother Francis would be happy with the apology!" As everyone started talking among themselves, Yao sighed, really not wanting to apologize. The guy kept flirting with him! He should just take the damn punch like a man!
Hong patted his brother's back, Yao turning to him. "I'm not much for the idea for apologizing either, Yao-Ge, but if the Fàguó lǎo ((French guy)) really did want to sue, we're toast..." Yao groaned and face-palmed. Even his aloof little brother is up for the idea. Guess there was so turning back. Damn rich school...
"You think it's gonna swell up?" Alfred asked after a while of staring at Francis's face. The American poked Francis's bandaged nose, making him wince in pain.
"Don't do that!" Francis barked. Alfred smiled, finding it hilarious.
"Judging from that, it probably already swelled up." Arthur answered, also trying to hold back his laughter. Francis pouted, knowing full well that Arthur was trying to hold down his laugh.
"That's one tough chic if it swelled up that fast." Gilbert commented, tilting his head, looking that the French teen at an angel.
"Well doesn't Elizabeta hurt you a lot, too?" Antonio asked Gilbert. The East German tensed up a bit when the Spaniard mentioned Elizabeta's violent side.
"W-well she uses a pan and that's metal!" Antonio shrugged, guessing that was true.
Arthur listened how they all were saying that a girl had done it to France and was confused. Didn't they say Yao did it? Why were they saying a- Oh!
"Wait, wait, wait, wait." Arthur said quickly. Everyone turned to him. "So one of the Asian girls did this to the frog?"
"Oi!" Francis was insulted.
"Yep," Gilbert actually answered.
"And you're saying that the Asian was who?"
"Yao. The one in our orchestra class." Antonio answered.
"Kesesese~ If she did this to Francis, then she'd probably break your arm if you flirted with her again, Playboy..." Arthur glared at the albino East German who only continued his signature laugh. The Brit sighed, ignoring Gilbert. "But what about it?" Arthur was contemplating whether to say something or not.
"Uh, nothing right now..." He replied, still thinking about it. As the BTT plus Alice talked among themselves, Alfred tapped on his cousin's shoulder as he was still in thought. Arthur shook his head, then turned to Alfred, "Huh? What?"
"You know, too?" Alfred simply asked, his head tilted, "That the Asian 'chic's really a dude?" Alfred smiled greatly, taking Arthur's shocked, wide eyes as a yes. Then again, Alfred was in the same P.E. class. "I was the first to figure it out!" Alfred grinned, putting a thumbs up. Arthur sweat dropped, deciding to ignore his cousin at that point.
(What about me? I'm here too, ey!)
The school day ended pretty fast, much to Yao's displeasure. He and the others were waiting by the main courtyard, ready to apologize to Francis and hope he won't press charges. "Do I really have to aru?" Yao asked for the seventh time. As an answer, everyone just gave him a look. Even though Yao was the oldest, there were times where he acted like one of the youngest.
Binh perked up when he saw a certain French teen exit the third year building. Pointing towards Francis, he said, "I see him ana." The Asians started motioning Yao towards him, making the Chinese teen clench his hands into a fist. Yao stood from his spot, stiffly walking towards Francis. "I think you two should go with him." Binh said to Lien and Hong. The Thai teen knew his friend well enough to know that he may do something to make things worse.
Lien opened her mouth as if she was about to something. When nothing came out, she sighed and did as told. She also knew Yao enough to know that he was going to need help or held back (mostly the latter). Hong was well aware of that, too, already walking behind his older brother.
"Hong? Lien?" Yao turned to the two, one on his left side, the other his right. Before Yao could ask anything, Lien told him why they followed.
"We don't want you making things worse, Yao." The said Chinese teen was offended at first, but just nodded.
"Fine aru..." Lien glanced at Yao from the side, seeing him just looking forward. The Vietnamese girl gulped, hoping her blush was not noticeable.
When the three were close enough to Francis, Yao shouted to get his attention. They saw Francis look around first, then spotted them. He tensed up, just a little, when seeing Yao trot up to him.
"Francis." Yao greeted. Sadly, Francis ignored him, scooting over to Lien.
"We meet again, Ms. Nguyen." The French teen brought up Lien's hand up to his lips, giving it a light kiss just as the first day. Lien took in a deep breath, holding in her urge to punch down on Francis's head. Hong fake coughed, bringing everyone's attention to the matter at hand. Good thing he came along. "Bonjour, I do not think we have met," Francis said when he saw Hong.
"Hong." The younger Chinese just said. Before any more interruptions came long, Yao finally got to the point.
"Anyways! So, um, how's your nose aru..." Yao said. He was looking diagonally at the ground, his right hand rubbing his left arm.
Francis brought his hand to his nose, saying, "It's fine now."
"Okay! He's fine, let's go aru!" Yao made a 180, starting to walk back to everyone. Hong, however, foiled his plan, grabbing the back of his shirt and pulling him back.
"Yao-Ge..." Yao sighed and looked back up at Francis. He had a brow raised, confused on what was going on. Yao was having troubling apologizing, so Hong pushed his brother's head down in a bowing position.
"Ai, ai, ai! Okay aru!" Hong released his brother and he stood back up. Yao took another glance at Francis before bowing again, but this time, not has low. "I'm sorry for punching you in the nose ahen..." Yao strained himself to say. "You won't press charges or anything, right?" Yao added.
Francis's eyes really widened now. Was this really what it was about? Francis held down his laughter. He was never going to press charges or anything. Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind that could be really fun. "Don't worry about it," Yao and Lien sighed with relief, but Francis wasn't done talking, "Unless!" The two tensed up again with Hong still keeping his neutral face. Inside, he really was curious what Francis was up to. "Unless you accompany me for the rest of the day." Francis finished was a sly smile, tilting Yao's chin upward.
Both Lien's and Hong's eye widened at the touch. They jerked forward, halting when Yao partially rose his hand. "That's it?" Francis nodded, "And you won't press any charge what so ever aru?" He nodded his head again, still smirking. "Fine..."
"Yao (Ge)!" Yao turned and smiled. Sure he was touch and all, but that didn't stop the two from worrying what may happen. The Chinese teen turned back to the French teen.
"Yīgè cuòwù de jǔdòng, wǒ huì shā sǐ nǐ ((Make a wrong move, and I'll murder you))." Yao said sweetly. Lien giggled a bit and Hong just stood. Francis, of course, didn't understand a thing Yao said, but didn't say anything. Let's see how Arthur's going to react. Hon hon hon~
"What's Yao doing!" Jun asked as Lien and Hong walked back to the group. They all noticed Yao walking behind Francis.
"Making sure there won't be a law suit." Hong answered.
"B-but will he be okay?" Kiku nervously asked. Lien nodded.
"I'm pretty sure Yao can take care of himself." She turned and watched as Yao left school grounds. "But I don't blame you for worrying."
