A/N: This oneshot is based off the Auntie Kayla!AU, where the ship is EliXElina and Kayla is Eli's best friend. Eli and Elina have two fraternal twins, Will and Elsa. Elina, Will, and Elsa are OCs that belong to JackieWinters. Please enjoy!
In the many years Kayla Grey had known her best friend, Eli Shane, she had come to expect a lot of weird and sometimes stupid things from him. But she didn't expect to visit his cozy home only to find him balancing between the armrests of two different sofas whilst holding his son and daughter on both shoulders.
"What are you doing?" Kayla said from the kitchen, letting her bag drop to the floor.
Eli looked at her sheepishly, at a loss for words. His twin children, Elsa and Will, grinned and waved at her giddily.
"Hi, Auntie Kayla!" Elsa quipped, her navy bangs fluffing around her cyan eyes. "Mama is at the store right now."
Kayla frowned and looked around the living room. "What are you guys doing on the sofa? Did you see another spider?"
She took a step towards the carpeted area and three pairs of blue eyes went wide with panic.
"Don't come in here!" Eli cried urgently.
Kayla froze, suddenly serious from the tone of voice. "Why? What's wrong?"
"Lava."
"What?"
"The floor is lava!"
Kayla slumped and leaned against the door frame. "Seriously, E? Lava?"
Eli shrugged. "Um...yeah?"
"Aren't you worried about breaking the furniture?"
The man looked down at his couch, which was sinking dangerously under his weight, as though the thought had never occurred to him. Honestly, it was kind of hard sometimes for Kayla to believe this man had saved the world. Several times. "Well, I haven't broken it yet. And even if I did, who'd be angry about a broken couch?"
"Ummmm, you're wife?" Kayla jerked a thumb to the back door. "Don't you think Elina has better things to do than order another sofa?"
Eli raised his hands in defense, which looked hard to do without sending one of his five year olds tumbling off his shoulder. "Hey, Ellie told me to keep the kids entertained. And they're entertained. It's fun, you should try it."
"I'll pass."
"C'mon, Kay!"
"No."
"Pleaaaaaase?"
The Shane stuck out his bottom lip in a pouty face, and the twins followed suit. Suddenly Kayla was pinned under three pairs of watery blue puppy dog stares. Resistance was futile.
"Fine," Kayla kicked off her shoes as Elsa and Will cheered before taking a running start and leaping onto an armchair. She bounced lightly on the cushion, hearing a worrying strain of springs underneath her.
Eli grinned. "Hey, Kayla."
Kayla squinted up at him warily. "What?"
"Think fast!" In one fluid motion, Eli grabbed Will around the air and tossed him in the air.
The little boy squealed in delight as he sailed in mid-flight. Kayla's instincts kicked in and she reached up to catch her nephew. "ELLIOT SHANE DO NOT THROW YOUR CHILDREN."
Eli settled Elsa on his shoulders and she kicked her tiny heels against his chest in excitement. "If I didn't trust in your reflexes, Kay, I wouldn't have done it."
Kayla scowled and cradled Will in her arms protectively. "No more baby-throwing."
Eli sighed and put his hands on his hips, Elsa clinging to his back like a squirrel. "Aw, I remember when you weren't so stiff, Kay," He teased.
Kayla's eyes slanted dangerously as her competitive nature flared up. "You are dangerously close to meeting a fiery demise."
Eli's glanced at the carpeted floor with renewed nervousness. "I would really prefer not too."
But it was too late. Kayla swung Will onto her back and grinned. "C'mon buddy. Let's show your Papa what happens when he messes with your auntie."
Will whooped and Eli scrambled backwards just as Kayla charged. The remainder of the afternoon was an intense game of jumping from couch to couch and avoiding the lava while simultaneously trying to catch the other person. Pillows went flying, giggles ran rampant, and when Elina Shane finally came home with an armful of groceries, she found her husband and best friend lying comatose on the floor with the twins snuggled between them.
