(nervous laughter So uh… the internet at school crashed all day yesterday, and I thought it would be on when I got home… ha, I was wrong, it was out all evening too, sorry.)

Hopefully that'll be you soon… Kai flushed even further under the attention of the three people he valued the most. He hated attention, but when it was from them he didn't mind it so much. Well, maybe just a little, "I wouldn't say I'm perfect I don't think anyone's perfect, really. Well, expect for Xio, she's the exception," He shrugged, trying to calm himself just a little.

(Ah, you’re fine. I feel bad for sending another comment but I did want to make sure you didn’t die XD you’re too cool a person to be dead!)

She laughed, playing with one of her curls. A blush turned her face a light pink. She hid her face, a little too giddy. “I’m not perfect either Kai. I’m really quite selfish.” She complained with a small smile.

(Aww, thanks! uwu)

Kai just shrugged and grinned, "Well I think you're perfect." Denzel smirked, looking between the two of them, Levi not really paying attention anymore but looking down at his phone with a small smile. The brunette eventually spoke up, "Anyone want any cookies? I think mum made some," He said standing. He sniffed the air then nodded, "Yup. White chocolate raspberry."

(^^)

Xio giggled, biting her lip to keep from grinning too much. She couldn’t show him how happy that actually made her. “Thanks Kai.” She murmured.

At the mention of cookies, Her head snapped up. “I love cookies.”

Levi grinned and giggled, "Me too. I will be back with the gold shortly!" He practically skipped out the room leaving Denzel and Kai chuckling.

(Sorry I had work)

Xio sat up, sitting on her knees. She watched Levi leave expectantly. Cookies were her favorite of all deserts. Her dad used to bake cookies with her during his separation. “I love cookies.” She repeated, looking over st the giggling brothers. Kai seemed so close with them. It was wonderful to see him so energetic and excited.

(All good. I was babysitting anyway. Also, I won't be active tomorrow)

"Me too," Denzel said, ruffling his hair a little. The beanbag shifted under him, causing Kai to very nearly fall off of it, "What's your favourite type of cookie, Xio? Mine's vanilla with MnM's." Kai grinned, knowing fine well that Denzel's one weakness was MnM's.

(Cool Cool.)

“I love short bread cookies. They’re really good.” She bites her lip at the thought, suddenly hungry. “But i also love every cookie. As long as it didn’t have coconut.

"Same. Coconut is gross," Denzel made a face, "Except desiccated coconut on lamingtons," The Australian sighed contently, "A classic Australian delicacy that, even with something as gross as coconut, is still delicious."

“It really is.” She laughed softly, laying on her stomach on the couch and draping herself over the arm rest. “Lamingtons? I’ve never heard of those.” She admitted, sinking into the cushions with a soft sigh. She glanced at Kai, smiling st him.

Kai smiled softly back, the faintest hint of a blush spreading across his pale, freckled cheeks. He pushed his glasses up his nose just a little. Denzel grinned, "Lamingtons are a native food to my country. It's a vanilla sponge cake with chocolate round the outside and coconut there too."

She giggled softly, biting her lip. He was so cute with his glasses and messy hair. Her head turned to Denzel when he spoke, eyes wide and curious. “They sound so good! Can I try one someday?”

Denzel nodded eagerly, “Of course! You’ll have to come over to Australia someday, the food is way better there.” He winked jokeingly.

It was then that there was a loud screech from the kitchen, followed by cackling laughter.

“Levi you swine! Bring those black right now!” Giselle called.

“Sorry not sorry Ma!” He called back before he shut the door to the rumpus room. He was holding a tray of freshly baked cookies, panting with a smug grin on his face, “Here we are.”

“Nice job, though I don’t like Ma will let you off the hook this time.” Kai chuckled.

Xio smiled brightly. “I would love to go!” Her bright eyes turned to the door as the sounds began, a curious expression on her face.

As Levi returned, her smile brightened. But it was for the cookies. She loved them already. “Are they homemade?!” She cried, sitting up straighter. She hadn’t had homemade cookies since her father had begun working full-time.

Levi nodded, making sure to lock the door before walking any closer. He placed them on the small wooden coffee table in between the four of them before sitting next to Xio again, “You betcha! Ma only makes them, never buys them. Says that the shop bought once taste like ‘blue cheese made by someone’s feet.’” He used quotation marks as he spoke with a chuckle.

“I love homemade cookies. Kai I love your family.” She hummed, glancing st the cookies. “Can I have one?” She asked softly, tilting her head with an innocent smile. She was really actually loving this family. She found herself longing for a mother who could cook and who would worry. She longed for a mother who would support.

Sure her father was supportive and loving and a good dad, but he was never around anymore. He spent his days over working himself. Xio just wanted a normal family. Her mood seemed to dip at that thought. She wanted to be normal. It’s why she hid behind outfits and makeup. She was afraid others would find her different if she didn’t.

Levi nodded taking two in his hands, "Go for it, take as many as you like." He motioned to the tray as Denzel took some himself, Kai didn't touch them, though. He just smiled politely and nodded to what Levi said.

"Kai, you should play for Xio and us soon," Denzel said, biting into a cookie as Kai went beat red.

Xio snatched one up and began to nibble on it, savoring each and every bite. “I love this family. Can I just join you guys?” She joked through a mouthful of cookie. Her eyes settled on Kai. She patted the seat next to her, a questioning look in her eye asking him to sit by her.

“You play!? You should have told me earlier. I would have forced you to play for me.” She giggled, winking. “I would love to hear you play.”

Kai flushed even redder, rubbing the back of his neck as he moved himself from Denzel and the beanbag to the seat next to her, "D-Depends if you want me to play piano or guitar," He shrugged, "I'm okay at both."

"Okay?! Dude, you're amazing!" Levi chuckled.

She smiled, leaning against him slightly. She couldn’t decide what she wanted to hear from him. “C-can I hear you play both at some point? I want to hear your guitar and piano playing.” She murmured, running a hand through his hair. She loved how soft and messy it was all the time. She wanted to just style and play with his hair for hours on end while he played her a song.

Kai nodded, sinking back into the seat to give Xio better access to his hair. He had to admit, but he really enjoyed it when she did it so he wasn't going to complain, "I'll play piano for you later, then." He said softly, offering a small smile.

Xio smiled back at him, attempting to braid his hair. It wasn’t going too well. “I can’t wait to hear.” She mumbled, forgetting there were others around them. She couldn’t believe how soft his hair was. As she grabbed another cookie and shoved into her mouth, Xio ran her fingers through the hair near his neck. “You’re so soft all the time.”

Kai hummed his agreement, sinking into the couch a little further, "Condition, shampoo, then condition again. Perfect for getting it super soft." He muttered, letting his eyes fall shut. He knew Denzel and Levi were smirking even though he couldn't see and he resisted the urge to flip them off.

“Never change it. This is perfect.” She purred, watching him with an amused gaze. He was too cute. It almost hurt her. “You’re like an overgrown puppy.” She giggled, planting a soft kiss to his forehead for the heck of it. “I love your hair. It’s soft.” She added afterwords, leaningninto him.

Kai pouted a little, "I'm not… I'm not a puppy." He mumbled, wrapping his arms around Xio. He shifted so she was sitting in his lap, Kai wrapping his legs through hers as he buried his head in the crook of her neck, "Okay fine… maybe just a little bit like one."

Xio couldn’t help but to blush at this new position. She could feel his breath against her skin as he spoke and that was a feeling that drove her insane. She smiled at his words, continuing to run her fingers through his hair. “Or a lot like one.” She murmured, her face hot and red. He was so close.

"I will go as far as half like one and that is that." Kai replied, letting his eyes fall shut again. He breathed in her scent, rubbing small circles into her side with his thumb softly. He could have fallen asleep there, quite happy and content.

"No I have to agree with Xio, you;re very much like a puppy." Levi said, Denzel nodded in agreement.

“Only half? You’re way more than just half like a puppy.” She replied, relaxing into his touch with a soft shiver. She laughed softly at Levi’s answer, resting her head against Kai’s. Her own scent was one of lavender and vanilla, warm and friendly it settled into her very being. “You’re too cute to not be one…”

"I don't think this is really…" Kai trailed off when he went his body become suddenly cold. The twin's face drained of colour, Denzel leaping off the beanbag and rushing out the room.

"Kai? Have you been taking your medication?" Levi asked, lifting Kai's head from where it sat. A layer of ice was tarting to work its way up his neck as the younger male nodded.

"It's not… time though…" Kai muttered, gently pushing himself away from Xio.
