Your eyes fluttered open upon the sound of clinking and yelling downstairs. Loud, angry footsteps slowly emerged from the hallway outside. As they get closer and closer, you covered your face with your pillow and grunting into it.
When you heard your door flung open, you immediately gasped upon the sensation of your blanket getting pulled away from you. Unintelligible yelling from Diluc and Kaeya filled your once peaceful bedroom.
Mornings like this were all normal to you after moving in with your brothers. Your parents left while you were young and you got sent to your grandparents until you got older. You asked them if you could move in with your brothers.
"(Y/n)! Diluc keeps on attacking me! I need help- Argh! Stop that!" Kaeya whines as he grabbed a small throw pillow. He then used it to hit Diluc countless times on his face, "Get away from me!"
"Can't I get a single quiet morning in here..." you muttered. "Cut it out you two!!"
When they didn't stopped, you raised one of your eyebrow and jumped off the bed to pry the bickering brothers away from each other. Diluc and Kaeya both glared at each other even though you already pulled them away from each other.
"So... mind telling me what happened?"
"He started it!" "He started it!"
This will be a long day... you thought to yourself while sighing when Kaeya and Diluc started to fight once more.

"Who is this Aether you're speaking of? Why does he want you to go to his house on Saturday?"
Zhongli crossed his arms then tapped his shoes on the floor, earning clicks from the impact. He pushed his glasses up and glowered on you which made you sweat and let out a stiff laugh.
"He's my classmate, so uh.... is that a no then?"
"Hmm.."
The rest of your brothers looked at Zhongli and you. Their expressions were dark just like Zhongli's upon hearing the Aether's name. They all walked behind Zhongli and joined him on glowering over you.
"How about we lit his house on fire?" Diluc ignited his claymore with a sinister glint on his eyes. "Until the only remains are ashes"
"Or we could freeze him to death" Kaeya made icicles circle around his body. "I hope the cold doesn't bother him"
You pursed your lips, "I-I DONT THINK THATS.. NECESSARY"
"How about I bring my mafia to visit his house while you two are in there. Ah wait, bring my whale with you. In case he does something to you- is that enough? HERE I'LL GIVE YOU MY DELUSION"
"Childe!! No!!"
"...I'll pray that the demons will haunt him in his sleep" Xiao mumbled.
"Take my potions with you. They might come in handy" Albedo handed you countless of flasks and beakers filled of liquids with different colors. "So the yellow is poison, the red a toxin for instant death-"
"...how are you all so morbid.."
Venti raised his hands, "I CAN JUST WATCH OVER THEM. Then I can snipe Aether with my bow in case he does something weird"
Zhongli snaps his fingers, "I'll have a meteor crash into his house- no wait. How about a whole planet?"
"Then it would kill us all!!"
You quietly backed away while your brothers continued planning on what they'll do to your poor friend, Aether. Bennett and Razor who were quiet earlier were now yelling at the other brothers to stop planning Aether's way of death. You made a mental note that if ever you'll hang out with your friends, you'll just sneak out.

Venti looked at Zhongli with a concerned look on his face. He kept on playing with his fingers for the past hour while sitting on the sofa. "Do you think (Y/n) will come out of their bedroom?"
"Let's just give them some time" Albedo spoke up from his experiment. "Can you all give me a strand of your hair? It's for a gadget that imitates the person if you put their DNA inside a built-in compartment. I call it, 'Imitate-Me-Beta'!"
Kaeya looks at Albedo with a horrified look, "Yeah uh- no thank you."
Albedo narrowed his eyes, "I hope you know how to sleep with your eye open..."
Xiao slowly climbed downstairs with a tray of food on his hands. A sigh escaped his lips when he walked in the living room where his other brothers were at, "It's no use. (Y/n) won't come outside"
"We were just concerned of their safety.. does this mean we're bad brothers now?" Bennett spoke up.
"(Y/n).. hates lupical?" Razor whimpered and looked at everyone with a worried look. "I don't want that"
"(Y/n) is our delicate little flower, we couldn't possibly stand the thought of our sibling getting hurt" Zhongli sighs, "Now come. Let's apologize to them"
