Joker

17. Meeting my boyfriend's brother- Oh wait no that's my mentor HIDE MY KNIVES!

Aki got carried down the stairs by an overly happy Nakul. His legs were paying for his sins dearly. Worth it though. Nakul giggled "I feel like you're my damsel in distress and I'm a handsome knight."

"Your damsel is in distress because his ass hurts which is your fault." Aki frowned.

"Who asked for it?" Nakul winked "I'm just a good obedient guy. You're just a demanding bottom."

"Oh shut up!" Aki flushed "I hate you!"

"Not what you were saying in there." Nakul went down the stairs and put Aki on a chair casually.

San grinned at them "Had fun?"

"Yep. Where's Ayu?" Nakul looked around for Ayu.

"He's gone with Gyu. Playing the new expansion of Magic Planet." San said, "I dropped out because I want to stream my playthrough and I don't need spoilers."

"Did he eat?" Nakul asked worried.

"I bet Mrs Choi is feeding the hell outta him." San assured "Don't worry. Either way Aki who expected you to have a begging kink?"

Aki turned red "THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!"

"I may or may not have passed by and caught a snippet of your little um... banter." San grinned evilly "And Nakul you just lo-o-ove calling him your pretty angel don't you? A praise kink and a begging kink. I have to pay Emi twenty five bucks now. Aki how dare you not call him daddy?"

Nakul turned red too, silently eating broccoli and turning redder every second. Aki tried to play it cool "Don't know what you're talking about. There was nothing of the sort."

"Oh was there?" San dramatically imitated Aki's moans "Ah Nakul- OUCH AKI STAHP!"

Aki suddenly forgot about the pain in his lower regions and threw a punch at San's arm. Gale was just silently recording. Nakul said, "Turn the phone off Gale."

San grinned at Gale "Wanna show them the proof we have?"

Gale smiled back and played an audio clip. San and Gale's giggling could be heard but though slightly muffled moans and growls were also definitely audible. Aki screamed and covered his face "JUST KILL ME ALREADY!"

Nakul slammed his head into the table "AKABANE YOUR FRIENDS SUCK ASS!"

"THAT'S WHAT YOU DO!" San crowed while Gale laughed hysterically.

"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU TWO!" Aki yelled at them.

"We will be playing this at your wedding." Gale said, still shaking with laughter "Like 'ladies and gents this is the first time Nakul and Aki did the do!'"

"Technically fifth." Nakul said.

"Keep talking and there won't be a sixth, smartass." Aki said, sticking some bread in his mouth and pouting.

"Aw Aki's pissed. How cute." San cooed.

"Of course I am. It's a pissy day! First I meet my mom and sister now this shit." Aki mumbled through bread.

San suddenly turned dead serious "You met your mom and sister?"

"Yeah." Aki said, feeling upset again "They wanted to talk to me apparently."

"Oh I want to talk to them too." San said coldly "Just a few choice questions."

"Nobody is letting San talk to them." Gale said, "Aki but will you talk to them?"

Aki looked at Nakul. Nakul shrugged "Your choice. Your mother, your sister."

Aki did want to know what they had to say. He wanted to see if they really wanted to say sorry. Maybe a more naïve and childish part of him wanted a mother and a sister. He remembered something that Reaper had told Aki when he spoke about his childhood 'People always say blood is thicker than water and act like it's enough basis to manipulate family. The full quote is the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb. Basically your group and your bond to them is stronger than bonds with your family. Stronger because people aren't born with those bonds. They're crafted by hand and they'll be damned if that bond is broken. That's why it's stronger Joker. That's why your bond to the rest of your teammates and friends is bigger and beyond a family.'
