~ Summary: In which Yao learns that letting Im Yong Soo put ideas into Kiku's head is never a good idea. ~

"Here you go aru!" China smiles as he places plates of steaming food in front of his two little brothers; Im Yong Soo and Kiku, "Umm the Emperor has something important he wants to talk to me about so I won't be able to eat with you aru.. "

"Do you really have to go?!" asks Im Yong Soo with a pout.

"Yes aru, but I'll be back soon! Okay?"

"Alright," sighed Im Yong Soo.

"This tastes really good!" said Im Yong Soo when Yao had left, "Kiku..?"
"Yao-hyung is a very good cook isn't he?"

"Mmm" Kiku nodded between a mouthful.

"And he's been eating this kind of food for centuries.."

"Probably.."

"I wonder what Yao-hyung would taste like.."

Kiku gave Im Yong Soo a questioning look.

"Hmm nevermind." and with that Im Yong Soo continued to gobble up the food.


When Yao returned in the evening that day, Kiku followed him to his room.

"What is it aru?"

Kiku shook his head.

"Oh I know! You want to spend some time with Yao-nii don't you?" asked Yao with a grin.

Kiku looked away, blushing slightly.

Yao went about his work. But after a while he realised Kiku was still staring at him.

"Is there something wrong aru?" asks Yao, kneeling down beside Kiku so as to be at his level.

Kiku says nothing for a moment
He then leans forward and gently licks Yao's lower lip with his tongue.

"E-eh?!"

"You taste good." says Kiku as an explanation.

He then goes to tell Im Yong Soo of his new discovery leaving a gaping and spluttering Yao behind him.


A/N: I'm not sure how it turned out like this either.
