"Mmnh…" Yao groaned. He felt like he was hit on the head with a club or something. "…wait, did I…? And…when did I get home already, aru…" He was in bed, in Yong Soo's room. He jerked his arm to the side, trying to grasp on something. Suddenly, he felt something soft. It almost felt like…hair. He turned to his side, and saw Kiku crouching beside him. Some blankets were thrown around him, and he was still sleeping. 'Wait…when did this happen, aru?'

"Aniki, you're awake~!" Yong Soo poked his head in the door. "Oh yeah, here! Breakfast!" Yong Soo brought him a big tray of very delicate food. There was a big bowl of rice, a pot of tea and a small cup or two at its side. There were shrimps, fish and sushi. And finally, a pair of chopsticks at the side of the plate. All in all, it smelled very delicious. The hint of seafood and vegetables mixed very well together. Either way, they looked very carefully handled and cooked.

"…breakfast? You? No way, aru." He said, picking up the pot of tea, and pouring in some in the small cup.

"Hehe, well, I didn't cook 'em." He said nervously, and rubbed the back of his neck.

"…huh?" He stopped sipping, his face puzzled, and Yong Soo pointed to Kiku.

"Kiku made them. He made breakfast for me too, but I finished them all too quickly."

"Has he eaten any yet, aru?"

"Well, I didn't see him…"

Yao gazed at Kiku and thanked him in his head. 'Woah…he must've been pretty exhausted from cooking all those…well, he deserves a rest, aru.'

Yao looked at his food again. "Looks like he worked pretty hard on them, aru...and it tasted good, too, aru."

"Hehe. I watched him cook, though."

Yao turned his gaze at Yong Soo, slightly glaring at him. "Well, thank God you didn't cook mine, aru. Because if you did, you might have pulled a prank on me like putting food poisoning or something as old as that, aru."

"Aww, why would I do that, aniki~?" He pouted.

"Oh, and by the way. Could you come closer, aru?" He leaned forward, and Yong Soo did the same. Yao opened his mouth, as if he's telling a secret. He closed it, and quickly smacked Yong Soo's head.

"The dare was your fault to begin with, aru." He struggled to keep it calm, trying not to strangle him. But instead, he just made his voice loud enough to show him his rage. He was about to attack him with his chopsticks, but they're Kiku's, and he doesn't want to do anything weird with it.

"Oof! But aniki, it was fun~" He rubbed his head.

"Hmph. Remind me never to come to your house ever again, aru."

That is, in the outside. In the inside, he was smiling and thanking Yong Soo…a little. Just a little. But that scene with Kiku somehow made him…happy, for once. Usually he would be the type that has no friends—well except for Yong Soo. But it was all thanks to him anyway, that he had met Kiku in the first place. Truthfully, he thanked him.

"Hey Yong Soo, listen, aru…" He calmed down, and said quietly, looking down at his food again. Yong Soo turned his head to face Yao.

"Um, thanks, aru…for, ya know…all the stuff that like, you've done for me…and all…well, it's been a few years already, and…"

"Hey, no need to thank me, aniki." He said, his smile was soft, for once. "Anyway, we're brothers, aren't we~?"

"Ahaha, no, aru." He said sarcastically, his smile turning into a glare.

Suddenly, Kiku's eyes slowly opened. He looked around for a moment, his vision blurred. It cleared again and stopped at Yao's image. "Ah…good morning, Yao-san…" Kiku said calmly, until he saw the food on Yao's bed, and he was asleep next to him. "…ah! I…I'm sorry! I didn't mean to interrupt you when you were sleeping…i-it's just that, you were asleep for quite a long time…a-and I was worried…so I made breakfast…and I was just so tired that I—" His long sentence in one breath was cut. His hair was being ruffled playfully.

"It's alright, aru. Thank you, Kiku." He said, smiling sweetly. Kiku can see nothing but warmth in that smile.

"Anyway, I could have guessed that you made it…judging by the amount of shrimps you've cooked in here, aru." He said, laughing.

"Oh…I'm sorry…I didn't know that you didn't like them…you were eating them pretty fast when we were at the cafeteria the other day…" He said nervously.

"No, it's alright, aru. Your cooking is very good, aru." He said, not bothering to nag about it. Either way, he had nothing to nag about. It tasted…perfect.

Yong Soo had just left the room a while back to play his X-Box 360. He was playing 'Call Of Duty', with loud grunts and lots of gun shooting sounds. But they didn't really mind it. Kiku was pretty much used to it, because he makes very high-tech things back home. Yao…was used to it, too. Yong Soo pretty much didn't want to interrupt Yao and Kiku's 'moments', so he went off and did his own thing. Sometimes he can be as nice as that. Sort of.

Yao thought that it was getting awkward, so he did something to break the tension.

"Uhm, Kiku…"

"Yes?"

"A-about that part when you said…'no one's ever cared about you before', aru…what did you mean by that? I mean, someone was bound to like you sometime…right, aru?"

No response was heard. Kiku hung his head.

"A-ah! B-but you don't need to tell me if you don't want to! I'm sorry…i-if it was your personal business, then I have no right to snoop around." He said, nervously.

"…It's alright." Kiku said simply, his bangs covering most of his face, his eyes completely covered already.

"...huh?"

"Well…it's true. No one actually cared for me…the only memory I remember was a hug from my parents." He sounded like he almost choked while saying that.

"Oh, yeah. What about your parents? Surely they love you very much…"

"Um…surprisingly enough…they don't."

"…what?"

"Yes. They don't. I'm guessing that's why they sent me to that school, outside my country. I guess they didn't want me home that often…I have no relatives, so I don't know where to go during the summer and winter breaks."

Kiku paused, and he continued, in a much softer voice."...Maybe that's why they left me…"

"Th…that's terrible, aru…"

"It's fine. Please don't worry about me, Yao-san…"

"Kiku, you can't go to your own home. Your parents left. You have nowhere to go. Do you think that I'd feel okay about that, aru?" Yao was serious. Kiku's head quickly shot up.

"Y-yao-san…"

"Hey, listen. Since you can't go back home…why don't you stay over at my place during the breaks, aru? I mean, it's almost November, so…I guess we can plan in advance. What do you say, aru?"

"B-but…are you really sure about this? I-I mean…your parents…I don't want to be intruding and all…"

"It's alright. I'll talk to them. I'm sure they'd love to have you over. We'll treat you as if you're my brother, Kiku. I promise." He was having one of those very sweet smiles again. And sure enough, Kiku cried again. Just the tiniest bit this time. He went up and glomped Yao. He was hearing over a million 'thank you's by now, and he took that as a cue to grab his Blackberry phone from the desk. He slid it open, and dialed a number. He waited patiently while Kiku was still hugging him, unable to let go.

"Hello? Yeah, mom. It's Yao, aru."

"Oh, Yao! Hello. Where are you right now? You didn't come home. Are you okay?" A woman's voice replied. It sounded like a low soprano's voice, both calm and warm.

"Yeah, I'm fine, don't worry, aru. I'm in Yong Soo's place. Hey, listen, can I bring a friend over to live with us, aru? He can't go back home because of…personal reasons. And besides, it's almost wintertime, I guess."

"Oh? A friend? You mean you've actually made friends? That's so great! I'm very happy for you! Don't worry, we'll surely treat him as if he was part of our family! Just count on us, okay?" She sounded very excited, and cheerful. Yao was happy.

"That's great! Thanks, aru!" He exclaimed, and said a goodbye and hung up.

"Well Kiku, I guess this means we're brothers from now on!" He said with a cheery smile. It only made Kiku cry again, out of joy this time. He couldn't say anything, but Yao could tell he's saying 'thank you so much' just by looking at him. He hugged him back, and ruffled his hair. And the best part of it was, Yong Soo finally wasn't listening to them. It was good not seeing him smirk all day.

A/N: Uwaaaai~ It's done XD And it's kind of a New Year's present also. XD Hehe~ I really want to have some more ideas...but it's all running out by the second...my dreams are kinda useless, something really cheesy and lame like the guy's leaving the girl and she goes sobbing and sulking while the guy was like, it's a joke and she falcon punches him and he goes to the hospital and yeah whatever. I know, it just looks like an excuse to make the author's notes longer. XD

Well, Happy New Year 2011~!
