Sotus House (Sotus-Love Sick Crossover AU Fan Fiction)

Good, Bad, and Ugly

Tew led Kong to the opposite side of the bar where Phun, Noh, Ohm, Mick, and Cee are at.

"Yuri and Oak send their love and this gift. I'm giving it to you now so I don't forget," Noh said handing a neatly wrapped package to Kong.

"Oak called me last night. Baby Liam couldn't wait to make his appearance, making his parents miss my wedding..." Kong pouted.

"Little dude probably walked right out, being the fourth kid and all," Noh said. "I'm going to go broke as their Godfather."

"It's a good thing you're married to a doctor," Ohm said with a wink.

"Oak is over the moon having a boy, not that he doesn't adore his daughters," Kong said.

"I swear Yuri is trying to make her own basketball team," Noh laughed.

"I think they're done now," Phun said. "At least that's what she kept saying the last two months. This last pregnancy was hard on Yuri."

Phun would know since they worked at the same hospital. Phun was a second year resident and Yuri was a nurse in the maternity ward. Noh teased Yuri that she only had to look at a baby to get pregnant. Yuri and Oak got married while Yuri was still in college and Nina was born a year later. Oak was fortunate enough to get a job that allowed him to work at home. He was able to take care of Nina while Yuri finished school and they welcomed Katie and Karen. Now two years later Liam entered the world. Oak still worked from home to be able to take care of the kids during the day.

"So Mick I hear you're going to be working with Noh and Ohm," Kong said as Jae and Aim joined them.

Noh and Ohm are music teachers at Wobniar Academy and Mick just took a position as the school nurse.

"I'll be starting in August," Mick said.

"I bet you fifty bucks that ten kids will have a headache on the first day just to be able to see the cute new nurse," Noh teased.

"I'm not taking that bet," Ohm groaned, because he knew he'd lose. His Mick had only grown up to be even more adorable.

"I wanted to thank you guys for getting Hell's Princes back together to play at our wedding. I know how busy you are Cee," Kong said.

"It worked out nice that your wedding falls during my off time. I'm staying with Janine and S until the day after the wedding and then I'm heading home to my Carino for a week before leaving for London. Quinn wanted me to tell you congratulations and to deliver this letter," Cee said.

"Thanks, I'll wait to read it with Arthit."

"Where is Mr. Grumpy Mad Scientist?" Bright asked stopping at the table to pass out drinks.

"My Carino is at home happily working in his lab," Cee said. "You know he doesn't like crowds."

"More like people," Bright muttered. "Where is home again?"

"In the mountains..."

"He doesn't want me visiting, does he? I'm hurt," Bright cries dramatically.

"Don't take it personally, Bright. Quinn doesn't want anyone visiting. I'm just lucky he loves me," Cee said with a smile.

"Lucky...sure," Bright said laughing.

"My grumpy mad scientist is really a squishy marshmallow under all that gruff!" Cee said sticking his tongue out at Bright.

"Now, now children," Kong scolded gently.

"In all seriousness I'm happy for you and Quinn," Bright said sincerely. "Tell him I said hi when you see him."

"Will do."

"Do you remember that one time when Quinn pretended to be your boyfriend, Bright?"

"Or when he put itching powder in his own bed because he knew you were rolling around in it to piss him off?"

"Or when he super glued the pages of Spawn's dirty magazines together?"

Just like that they were back in SOTUS House reminiscing about the good, band, and the ugly!

Towards the end of the evening only the couples that participated in the time capsule remained.

"I think it's time to break open that time capsule," Toota said, rubbing his hands together.

Bright is furiously shaking his head while slashing his hand back and forth over his neck.

Toota sighed, hands on his hips. "Did you lose our time capsule?"

"No! Uh...maybe. I took the envelope out of the safe this morning and put it on my desk. Now I can't find it!"

"Bright! You had one job," Toota cried.

"I'm sorry! It was on my desk before the party started. I don't know where it went."

"Do we really need the sheets to tell us what we already know?" Kong asked.

"Kong's right. We are all still friends. Might have added a few more into our group over the years but the core group has stayed the same," Arthit said.

"The lover category didn't change," Phun added, kissing Noh's cheek. "Noh is my husband now, but still the same lover."

"Occupations changed slightly," Knott said. "I thought I would be an engineer, not a cattle rancher, but it's not unusual for an occupation to change."

"Life is more than paying bills. Remember to kiss the hottie along the way," Jae said giving Aim a kiss. "Look at that. Followed my own advice."

Aim laughed, kissing him back. "That's excellent advice."

"It's not the end of the world that Bright lost the time capsule. It wasn't the time capsule keeping us together all these years," Arthit said. "It was Bright...and Daniel. I know it's Daniel that sends the birthday, anniversary, and congratulations cards. Whenever I had something difficult going on I'd get a call from Bright, like he just knew I needed a friend."

"Bright is the one that organizes our trips every year. He keeps us connected. Let's have a toast to Bright," Kong said, raising his glass. "To Bright, our honorary Sotus House Dad, loyal friend, and crazy family member!"

"To Bright!"

Daniel handed his husband a handkerchief to wipe his eyes with. "That's so beautiful," Bright bawled. "I love you guys! Group hug!"
