"wait- your a WHAT?" Nickolas asked

"A scientist ya derp" Marcus replied with a smirk.

"Well. . .holy shit" at saying this the man earned a small glare. but it faltered into the usual calm he used before he went off on something long and boring.

"Nikki, I've been thinking about inviting some people over for dinner. It's only natural I want to meet your brother and I messing with his lover. Also my own brother Misaki and his lover have been kind to me and you no doubt want to meet my twin after all and-" It was around here Nikki stopped paying attension.

His mind had easily wandered off and a dopey smile was there, he was day dreaming about marcus being a maid when he heard his name and castration in the same sentence.

"wait-what?" was the alarmed cry, Marcus just raised an eyebrow. He was used to him being an idiot.

The night finally came when the two relations of the couple and their sweethearts arrived at the homestead of the unexpected couple.

The first couple was Nowaki and Hiroki. It surprised Nikki that they managed to arrive first, seeing a they're so busy and all.

Marcus formally introduced himself on their arrival, immediately recognizing who Nowaki was, then grinning at a very annoyed looking Hiroki. It wasn't ten minutes later when the two formed a mutual friendship and understanding, this happened when both Nowaki and Nikki both bent forward for separate reasons and managed to bump heads which lead to a argument about a shiny coin on the ground. both uke's had snorted and ignored the morons moronic moronery (which is not an actual word).

while this little sibling squabble was going on Misaki and Akihiko finally showed up. Marcus answered the door and invited them in both coupe saw each other and pretty much it was a state of what? why? and a very serious coincidence

"who woulda thunk it?" Nikki said, Marcus elbowed him to get him t shut his trap.

The silence was broken by Misaki.

"Can he speak Japanese?" he asked innocently to his twin.

"Not much but I can translate if you want to ask him something" Marcus responded kindly.

"I was just wondering if he knew you stole his shirt" almost immediately everyone except for Nikki snapped their eyes to Marcus whose face was so red Nickolas had to ask if he was choking.

"I'm fine Nikki, and MISAKI WHAT THE HELL?" he screeched. There were various questions and laughs when suddenly Nikki spoke up.

"Are you guys talking about the shirt you took from me?" Marcus let his head hit the table and groaned.

"wow he actually got it dead on" Nowaki said, shocking the two who don't know English.

The evening was drawing to a close as everyone sat around the t.v. watching "A walk to remember"

Nikki and Marcus were sitting on the floor, Marcus siting comfortably in Nikki's crossed legs, leaning his back against his chest.

Their height difference was so big that Nickolas could easily rest his chin on top of the curly brunette's head.

Nowaki started crying near the end, along with Misaki and Nikki. Even Hiroki's eyes were watery and Akihiko seemed depressed. Marcus just reached up and pet Nikki's head, consoling him. He had already watched the movie many times before, it was his Mama's favorite.

Somehow, everyone ended up huddled together on the floor, Misaki leaning on Marcus' shoulder, Nowaki leaning on Nikki's, Hiroki in Nowaki's arms and Usagi laying his head on Misaki's lap.

Everyone was fast asleep like that, forgetting for a short time their busy life style, and focusing on enjoying time together, like a family.


Marcus thought fondly of that time, Christmas had come and gone, and now it was January. The steadily approaching birthday of a certain ponytailed giant was quickly approaching.

He had a gift that would change the world, eagerly awaiting January twentieth.
