Childhood Home

They all were stunned by the size of the gates that they stopped at, the zodiacs all staring in awe at the gates and the massive house that was stood behind them. But they all also noticed the line of men standing outside the gates, watching the cars as they stopped in front of them. "Oh god..." Scorpio facepalmed at the sight, knowing what was going to happen.

The zodiacs slowly streamed out of the cars, the men who were waiting them taking their luggage from the trunks of the cars before bowing down to them. The one on the middle proudly stated, "Young master Scorpio! We are all very glad you have decided to return. We will ensure that you and your friends all have a wonderful time in Japan."

Scorpio deadpanned at the overly-dramatic greeting by his family. And he did consider all the members as his family as they took part in raising him from an early age and protecting him when he was out living a normal life while he was in Japan. He remembered that he would get to sit around with them after school when his parents were off dealing with business. They were the ones who also cooked meals for him since eating premade meals was too unhealthy for the growing Scorpio.

He chuckled to himself as he remembered being very young and hearing thew members running around trying to deal with the fire in the kitchen, afterwards seeing many members sitting back down around Scorpio covered in soot and dust. They all presented a simple plate of katsu curry which he had said that he was craving for that day, the dish itself having charred and burnt bits. But he still found it delicious and loves to reminisce over that day since he knew they cared for him very much. And yes, they did eventually get good at cooking and many other household skills.

Scorpio sighed as the men straightened and showed their menacing smiles which freaked out most of the zodiacs. the exceptions being Scorpio, Orion Aries and Cancer. However the last two were because Cancer was still half asleep since he was just woken up by Aries when they reached the house while Aries was busy trying keep Cancer awake not to seem rude to Scorpio's family.

Scorpio walked up to one of the guards with a small smile, suddenly smacking the side of his head and yelling, "Stop scaring them you idiots! Normal people smiles! You look like you're threatening them!"

They all immediately began apologising to the group as they all watched them stunned at the sudden change atmosphere from feeling threatened to feeling sorry for them as they continued to apologise."Alright, alright! That's enough...Just remember to use our social smiles. Not our  business ones...I thought I worked on this with all of you when Tenz got married."

The zodiacs sweatdropped as they watched Scorpio speak to the line of men as if they were his little siblings and they did  something to disappoint him ever so slightly. Scorpio looked back at the zodiacs and chuckled awkwardly, "Sorry about them, they aren't used to having guests over. They are really nice, don't let their faces fool you."

Tenz sighed as he stepped out the car after watching the entire exchange, "Well then, we will guide you through the house and to your rooms for the duration of the stay. Please follow me. And Scorpio, don't be too hard on them. We did say that they only needed to use their social smiles at weddings and dates."

Scorpio groaned internally at his oversight, "You're right...Sorry guys, my bad."

"No problem young master! We will continue to improve!" The men yelled, making Scorpio and the rest laugh a little at their enthusiasm. All the worries and fears gone after seeing the display of politeness and strange wholesomeness from Scorpio's family thus far.

They walked past the large gates that opened for them,  closing with a metalic thud behind them. They entered the large house after a quick admiration of the courtyard filled with trees and flowers with a stone path weaving throughout the area leading from the gates to the ends of the courtyard and towards the doors of the house.
