Naki's head rolled on the desk, his eyes looking at the words, but his brain decided it was done. "Is it Ireland, Gege?" He sighed out, trying to get the answer right for the third time.
"It is Baobei," Bai Yusheng tossed Naki a chocolate kiss. "I knew you knew the answer."
Naki happily snagged the candy, but he needed to be done. "Gege, I'm starting to feel like a puppy now. Saalah and I have to beat traffic. Mom's super excited he agreed to let her test her new therapeutic techniques on him. She was having a hard time hunting down an immortal that didn't care to let her test it out, cause you know, they are undying and all, and the medical stuff doesn't interest them." Naki tugged Saalah's pants under the table, giving him a side glance. "Saalah remember? All the news channels said everyone is traveling this weekend, so the commute will be longer...Remember?... Saalah?"
Saalah had to hold back his chuckle. Naki's eyes were pleading. "I do remember there was something along the lines of heavy traffic. It looks cloudy too. If we are going on my bike we really should get going."
Saalah rose, collecting his and Naki's study materials. His long legs took him to Bai Yusheng, "I'll make sure he studies, my love. Will you be okay this weekend? I know you. I'm expecting you to not overdo it."
Bai Yusheng accepted the loving hug and tender kiss, but their eyes were darting to the papers at the table, "Mmhmm."
Saalah smiled, looking over at Aiden who had his laptop open and multiple books spread out. "Honey Bear, it's on you to keep them settled. I left you all the details."
Aiden laughed, rising to stretch his big body. He came over, wrapping an arm around Saalah's shoulder, "Yes, you did. I will fuss over them as diligently as you wrote in the notes."
He took the handsome face in his hands and gave the man a scruffy kiss since he was overdo for a trim. "Be good. A whole convergence of the Cloud Clan, it's like snack territory."
"Aiden don't testify...no... objectify my people! We can't help that the high cheekbone rate is real."
"No worries," Saalah said, giving the beard a stroke, "one whole Shiva and two whole Sha are enough for me. Any more feistiness would be too much."
"I'm not feisty," Naki protested, squeezing between Aiden and Saalah, lifting his head back expectedly at Aiden who amusedly leaned down to give him a kiss. He smiled happily, going over to hug Bai Yusheng from behind, "Gege, I'm the sweetest right?"
Bai Yusheng turned, peppering Naki's face with kisses, "You are as sweet as the sugar you consume, but, my sweet Baobei, you have a wicked temper. Who kicked Sega in the leg? And who stormed away from Saalah because he chastised you for jumping off a ten foot wall, scraping your leg up?"
Naki pursed his lips, "It was 8...and the rock slipped... and my leg healed in like 20 minutes. I was just grumpy because he became grumpy."
Saalah swatted Naki's bottom, "that gash was so deep you could almost see bone. Of course I was upset. You scared the hell out of me when you landed so terribly. I nearly had a heart attack."
Naki gave his best pouty eyes, "You did it. I wanted to try too!"
"I'm also nearly a foot taller than you and practice parkour." He kissed the crinkled nose. "Now come on. We have to leave enough time to face Sega. You know he's not happy at that convention with his father. And we have to call Valges too. He's stressed about finals and a big photo shoot."
"Okay, bye Gege, bye Aiden. Gege, you have to get some rest this weekend. No more 'making tea' for three hours in the middle of the night."
Bai Yusheng gave a slight blush, "Baobei, don't be cheeky!" So they had been studying excessively over night... for five days straight. Bai Yusheng came over to stand by Aiden, blowing a quick kiss. "Go on. Call me when you get to the house safe." They waved off the two, leaving only Aiden and Bai Yusheng on campus for the weekend.
