It's You | yakulev

24- roses that remind me of you

Lev's POV:

We ran down the stairs to be greeted by Yaku-san's mother and two younger siblings.

"Hey there! You must be Lev." His mother gave me a sweet smile and gestures at me to come over.
Wow, she seems very friendly, I feel welcome now.

I approached her and shook her hand. "Hi! Yes that's me haha, it's a pleasure to meet you!" She was only a little taller than her son, which made our height difference a little awkward as I had to look down at her to talk, and I only hoped she didn't find me intimidating...andd maybe I'm thinking too much.

"Gosh child, don't look so nervous. I don't bite." She laughed, turning her back towards me and heading to the kitchen. But your son sure does, I giggled to myself. "I hope you boys have had supper already?"

"Yes mom, we already ate." Yaku went to pat his siblings heads. No, you didn't eat.. I frowned a little but his voice caught my attention again. "Hey, how have you guys been?" The two other boys that ran up to him were probably 6 or 7, and had the same caramel hair as Yaku-san.

"We've been good!" One said excitedly, "We helped mommy do groceries in town!" The other continued.
Yaku chuckled and turned to smile at me, "These are my younger brothers— Hotaru, though we usually call him Taru, and Mako!" they looked up at me in great curiosity and I honestly found the little kids so adorable.

"Wow, you're really tall!!" Hotaru gasped, standing back a little to look at me better. "What's your height?"

"Ah haha, I'm 194cm."

"That's very cool!! I hope you don't bully our older brother though, there's wayy more to him than his height so we hope you don't tease him for it!" I laughed a little, and was surprised to see Yaku-san smiling slightly too— I guess he doesn't mind his family talking about his height.
"Yeah! He's super great and you better take care of him or you'll have to deal with us!" Mako pouted, throwing a light punch on my leg. "We will take you titan down if we have to!" The other sibling agreed.

"Ohh you don't have to worry about me, I'll make sure to take care of your older brother well~" I shot Yaku-san a smirk and he blushed a little.

"Lev, your mother is alright with you staying over?" I heard his mom ask from the kitchen.
"Oh yes! She said it's fine as long as I text her when I'm coming back tomorrow."

I turned to Yaku and sat down with him on the couch. "Yaku-san, are you hungry? You didn't eat anything you know..." I whispered to him.

"I actually am a little hungry haha.. I just didn't want to trouble my mom to make supper or anything."

"Ahh..but you should still eat, go make yourself some cup noodles maybe."

"Yeah...maybe I will then. I'll be back!" And just like that, he dashed off to meet his mom in the kitchen. I saw him grab a cup noodle that included some vegetables. Then, he filled up the kettle with tap water. His mom though, left him alone and approached me, signalling me to take a seat in front of her at the coffee table in the center of the living room.

Talking to his mom...I feel a little nervous but I have to do my best to make a good impression!

"I'm so glad to finally meet you, Lev. Morisuke talked about you so much to me it got me very curious to meet you and now here we are!" She laughed and rested her head on her hand.

"So, what do you think of my son?" She watched my expression carefully, waiting eagerly for my response.

"Well...I think Yaku-san is a really great person. He's hardworking in what he loves and knows when to feel confident about his abilities without boasting about it." I glanced at Yaku who was busy waiting for his noodles to be cooked at the kitchen countertop.
