Ryuto
The doorbell rang downstairs and I stumbled to get out of my desk chair to go answer it. As I ran down the stairs, Auntie beat me to the door.
"Welcome, boys!" Auntie said cheerfully, letting my friends into the house. "Ryuto's right here. Make yourselves right at home!"
"Hey, Ryuto!" Alfred shouted once everyone came in. "Your home is awesome!"
"That's my line," Gilbert growled. "But it isn't as awesome as me though!"
I grinned at my friends. "Come on," I said, jumping down the last step. "Let's get movie night started."
"All right!" Feliciano cried happily.
"You can put your bags in my room upstairs," I told them, leading them up. They followed me into my room and put their stuff down. "So what movies are we watching tonight?"
"Horror!" Alfred said immediately.
"Comedy," Antonio said.
"Awesome action!" Gilbert shouted.
"Anime," Kiku added.
"Romance," Francis said with a chuckle.
"Only a frog would want to watch girly stuff," Arthur muttered.
"And what did you bring, huh?" Lovino demanded.
Arthur held out a James Bond movie and everyone groaned.
"We are not watching that!" Yao shouted.
"Guys, I don't think we even have time watch every movie tonight," I said.
"Ryuto's right," Ludwig agreed. "We need to vote on the movie's we're going to watch. Everyone put their movie on—"
"Wait!" Feliciano shouted. "Hikaru's not here yet!"
"Where is Hikaru-san?" Kiku asked me.
Ivan poked his head outside my door and said, "I hear music playing down the hall."
"Then she's in the practice room," I said. "The first door on the left."
I led them out into the hallway and all of us peered into the cracked door and saw saw Hikaru's back facing toward us. She was singing softly in Japanese as she played the piano. After a minute or so, she hit the last note and everyone clapped for her. She looked back and her eyes widen in surprise.
"That was amazing, ve!" Feliciano cried, hugging her from behind.
"Uh…thank you?" Hikaru said when Feliciano let her go. She stood up and straightened her clothes as she blushed lightly. "So have you guys decided what movies we're watching?"
"Feliciano made us wait for you so we could vote on it," Ludwig said.
My twin blushed but she smiled shakily at Feliciano as she patted his head. "Thank you, Feliciano," she said.
It was amazing how much my sister and I adjusted to life with the guys.
"Okay, so now we vote!" I said, clapping my hands together.
Once we got things settled down, Auntie announced dinner and we rushed downstairs to see the kotatsu loaded with different kinds of food.
"Pasta!" Feliciano cried when he saw his favorite food.
"You had time to cook all this?" I asked Auntie.
"Of course not," Auntie said. "All of your parents brought them over earlier today."
"What is this?" Hikaru asked, picking up a biscuit-like food. She took a bite of it as the others yelled, "No!"
Hikaru froze. She held up a hand to her mouth, making gagging noises as tears formed at the corners of her eyes.
"Spit it out," Yao yelled, shoving a trash can toward her.
"Someone do the Heimlich Maneuver!" Antonio shouted.
"I'll do it," Ivan said, smiling.
Hikaru shook her head wildly as the big Russian guy lifted up from behind and gave her the Heimlich Maneuver. My sister coughed and broke free from Ivan's grip, looking relieved. "Thanks, Ivan," she gasped, wiping her eyes. "What did I just eat? It tasted so hor—" Hikaru stopped, seeing the look on Arthur's face. "Ah…Arthur, I didn't…Did you…?"
"I made it myself," Arthur said sadly.
"Hahaha!" Alfred laughed. "Don't worry about him. He'll be all right!"
"Can we eat now?" Lovino asked. "I'm hungry."
"Me, too," Gilbert said. "All that food is making me hungry."
We sat around the kotatsu, which surprisingly fit all of us, and started digging into the food. When we finished eating, Alfred declared it was movie time so everyone changed into pajamas and ran back downstairs. I put the first movie on—a horror movie called "Resident Evil"—and everyone crowded around the TV as it started.
"I hate this movie," Hikaru muttered from behind her pillow. She was covered under a blanket with Feliciano and the two were holding each other as if their lives depended on it.
"Me, too," Feliciano whimpered.
"You know you don't have to watch it then," I said.
"What? No way," Alfred said, even though he was obviously frightened. "Suck it up and be a man, Hikaru."
"But I'm a girl," Hikaru whispered.
"If you're scared just close your eyes, okay?" Ludwig said to her and she nodded.
"Shh, the movie's starting," Yao said.
"Oh, goody," Ivan said. I guessed nothing else could scare him.
An hour or two later, the movie finished and we turned back on the lights. Hikaru and Feliciano were pale from the movie and shivering with fear. With them, most of the others were scared, too, other than me, Kiku, Ivan, Gilbert, and Ludwig.
"Really," Kiku said. "It wasn't that bad."
"Are you serious?" Francis gasped. "It was horrible!"
"Zombies are gross," Antonio said, shuddering.
"It was scary," Lovino muttered, clinging onto his brother.
"Hold me, Ludwig," Feliciano said, reaching out for the German.
"I agree with Kiku," I said. "The graphics sucked."
"It was awesome!" Gilbert shouted, making the Vargas brothers and Hikaru jump as the house phone rang.
"Ah, I'll go get that," Hikaru said, standing up before I could.
"No, there might be zombies over there!" Feliciano cried, tugging her hand.
"Zombies aren't real, Feliciano," Ludwig told him.
"Ludwig's right. I'll be fine, okay?" Hikaru said. "I'm just over in the hallway." She let go of his hand and walked off to answer the ringing phone.
A Note from your Author:
Let's skip this because I wrote a whole run-on paragraph before my computer unexpectedly shut down on me as I was writing. I'm sorry for not updating the story yesterday. I meant to. On the other hand, the Sohma twins won laser tag and therefore, skipping a week ahead from that day at the mall, they had to host movie night because of Hikaru. Hikaru was eating a scone which are actually quite good from Starbucks. And blah blah blah. I hope you enjoy! Also, I realized that I have a lot of typos in my previous chapters and sometime later I will fix them. Enjoy!
