Chaos in the Alicein household

Chapter 2

Mikuni woke up to the sound of chirping birds, the sun was already high in the sky. He looked to his left to see a still sleeping snake. He then remembered the previous day and smiled contently. After a lot of crying and after he and his refound family exchanged sweet words of affections and promises for the future, they all went to bed since they were worn out because of the fight. So they all went to their own rooms, even Mikuni who had been reassigned to his former one. Jeje thought that since they came back, he would have to go sleep in the attic again but his eve said there was no reason for him to do so, and insisted that they should just sleep in the same room like before. Jeje was taken aback but soon followed after the blonde man. He smiled under his paperbags after making sure Mikuni wouldn't see it.

The servamp of envy woke up when he felt someone was caressing the top of his head. He didn't need to open his eyes to know who it was, he had long gotten used to the sensation of Mikuni's fingers on his skin. It was too bright for him to turn in his human form so he just slithered around the other male's arm. They went downstairs and saw Misono who was still in his pajamas. The purple haired teen was reading a fantasy novel, waiting for Dodo to finish preparing breakfast. He glanced up to the other two when he heard them entering.

-« Good morning, » he said, « did you have a good night ? »

As soon as he finished his sentence, his brother leapt at him, tackling him into a hug.

-« Misonooooo~~ how are you ? You didn't have any nightmare, right ? »

Said Misono tried to push him off, he wasn't used to be attacked like this in the morning.

-« Let go of me you idiot, I can't breath ! »

« Oh, sorry. I guess I was too happy to see you, hehe. »

« Well it's not like I'm not happy... » he said while blushing. Mikuni was going to tease him more when Lily came in.

-« Hello everyone ! Mikuni, did you sleep well in your room ? »

« Hello Lily ! Yeah, thank you. It felt weird at first though, gotta get used to it again and all. »

« I'm glad to hear it ! Then we should move to the table for breakfast, Dodo must be done preparing it. »

They all nodded, Mikuni released his brother so he could stand up and they went to eat together. Of course the blonde wanted to sit next to Misono who didn't make any comment for once. Jeje sat on the chair between Lily and his eve even though he rarely ate anything, be it in the morning or later in the day . They picked various things to eat from the tray and talked about trivial things until Mikuni asked :

-« Where is father by the way ? I don't recall him working on Sundays »

« He probably had an appointment or something of sort, no need to worry about it. » Misono simply answered.

« Okay. What should we do today then ? I can't wait to spend some time with my dear little brother~~ »

« We could play chess. I'm pretty sure I can beat you by now. » the purple haired boy suggested with a smirk.

'I doubt it'... Jeje and Lily thought at the same time but they didn't say it out loud. Mikuni just smirked back at his brother, daring him to try. The shorter boy wasn't backing off, he stood up in order to go find the chess board. Once he got it, he came back and sat in front of the blonde who was still smiling slyly.

-" My, someone is impatient." He said jokingly.

"Indeed. I haven't played against you in years and I was never able to win before. So I want to see if I have improved. You're the best opponent, after all."
