Against Patrick's wishes... Danil had to head back home... he wanted to spend the rest of the day with his brother and Lilian...
and there was another thing entirely...
Kamol and Kim were coming, because after all this was a family affair... Ivan insisted...
The fact that Partick was providing a sense of safety, calmed Danil a bit... it would be ok to shed some layers with him and try to be himself... he was not losing to anyone and he was not losing to begin with... life doesn't work like that... he came a long way to understand that...
Lilian was waiting for him though...
"Well ?"
"Well? What ?"
"How was the night with the boyfriend?"
"Lily..." he whimperd...
"Oh c'mon... How can you possibly imagine me letting that slide, and please tell me... pretty please..."
"It was pretty tame... Don't worry..."
She looked scandalized a bit...
"Tame ?"
He nodded...
"Danil, You do realize we are to get married in a week and that I am already pregnant... Tame is not going to cut it, my boy... Tell your sister the truth..."
He laughed softly at the stern look on her face... Life is going to be hella fun with her... and the baby...
"I promise you it was tame... Where's Ivan ?"
"Picking someone up..."
Danil perked up in alarm...
"Calm down... Ok? They wanted to come early to spend some time touring... You are ok with that ?"
"It's none of my business... Kamol is practically my brother... Nothing more.. Right ?"
"You're wonderful... Ivan spent the entire morning rubbing it in my face how much he can count on you..."
"I live to serve..."
She chuckled before they heard the commotion...
Kamol and Kim had arrived...
-----
Despite Danil's initial worry, the meeting was warm... they both hugged him... his own brother shared a look with him but said nothing...clearly pleased...
everything once again was pretty tame, and conversation flowed, just like old days... Kamol being familiar with Lilian was nice and she was eager to get to know Kim... The one who tamed the wild tiger...
He could see Kamol's left hand decorated with his wedding band, the matching one on Kim's left hand... a story he heard a couple of times already... he was pleased they were happy in their own little bubble...
Danil zoned out a couple of times... it was a bit surreal for him and he would need to get used to the new dynamic..
After lunch, Kamol and Kim excused themselves... They wanted to go sightseeing for a bit before heading back to their hotel...
"You should tag along ?" Kim said to Danil while he was walking them out...
"Why? Afraid he won't keep his hands off you, Kim ?" He Joked... He heard from Kim how hard it was for Kamol to stop touching him one way or another...
"Very Funny" Kamol threw his way...
Kim and Danil smiled at each other, seeing the chance to spend the rest of the week getting at Kamol... Kim would actually help him with that...
