The squad got a taxi which took them to Molly's hotel and luckily when they reached the entrance and Lane was about to piggyback Dorian, he woke up
Yilao exclaimed "Finally, you're awake"
Lane grunted "You sure took your time sleeping, Ian and worried us sick"
Paul sighed in relief
Dorian tidied up his clothes and looked at the trio "Sorry"
Lane patted his shoulder "It's fine, we're here now though"
Milky jumped into Dorian's arms who looked up and Yilao earnestly said "Come on, let's go in!"
The four of them walked in to the hotel and were astounded at the sight that was revealed to them
Lane wanted to jump but Yilao held him down "Compose yourself, Lan, you'll draw attention"
Yilao called Molly when they got into the elevator "We're here"
The voice on the other line squealed with glee "Yayy! Lala, you're gonna see your Aunt and older brothers too!"
Yilao heard the baby giggling and smiled "So cute"
Yilao then called their parents to inform them that they arrived
Paul looked at Dorian who bent down in the corner petting Milky and sat beside him then thought of something to say which would distract him "How's your arm now?"
Dorian raised it up and Paul gasped "The bandage is soaked with blood"
Dorian smiled wryly "I might have strained it a bit"
Lane popped over "A bit? You might have pulled a bone or whatever they call it"
Paul said "We should go to a hospital"
Dorian shook his head "I'm a bit hungry so let's eat and rest first besides today's Saturday, no hospitals will be open today"
Paul sighed "Why are you neglecting yourself?"
Dorian said as the elevator doors opened "Let's go, Aunt Molly's waiting"
The three of them were awestruck by the passage which led to two doors
Lane asked "Which one's Aunt Molly's?"
Before Yilao could reply, the door on the right opened and a little girl about six years old with Prussian blue hair and black eyes ran out "Aunty Yilao!"
Yilao carried her "Bobae! Oh you little cutie"
Bobae held Yilao's neck as she shyly waved at the other three "Big brothers, hi"
Lane whined "Ahh, Sister Lao, Baebae don't remember us anymore"
Bobae looked at Milky in Dorian's arms and said "Hello Kitty"
Yilao chuckled as they entered the apartment Bobae ran out of "How would she, the last time she saw you was when she was when she was two years old and she couldn't even speak much that time"
Molly came out of the kitchen and shouted "Laolao! Dorian! Lane! Paul! You guys have finally arrived"
Molly hugged Yilao first then hugged the three boys "You three have grown up so much!"
Molly lifted Milky "Milky! You've grown so much too! You're bigger than the last time I saw you"
Milky meowed in response
Yilao asked as Bobae got down from her hands and ran into the living room to continue watching her cartoon
Molly said "The others are still at work. Let me show you to your rooms then you can freshen up and change. I had the driver get you guys some clothes to wear tonight and tomorrow morning then we can all go shopping for new clothes together tomorrow"
Paul said "Thanks, Aunt Molly, that's really kind of you"
Molly waved her hands "It's nothing. Oh and call me Sis Molly. Calling me Aunt makes me sound like I'm old"
Molly showed them to the two guest rooms "The first one is for Laolao and the second one is for the boys, freshen up, rest up and when dinner's ready, I'll send Bobae to call you guys"
Yilao responded "I'll come help right after I'm done changing"
Molly was about to leave when Lane asked "Where's Lala?"
Molly facepalmed "I left her in the kitchen!"
Molly scampered off to the kitchen "Lilac, don't try to eat anything!"
Yilao chuckled as she entered her room "Molly's still as forgetful as ever"
The three boys entered their room and Dorian closed it and Milky jumped down from his arms and ran to the window sill then Lane remarked "Sis Molly got us literal pajamas"
Paul rolled his eyes "They're just a pair of long sleeve tee shirts and knickers that match. I'll take the blue one, Lan, you can have the green one and the black is for Ian"
Dorian didn't respond and went to the window then when he made sure, he turned back to the duo "Ever since we got off the elevator, I've felt that someone was watching us but that presence has disappeared"
Paul stated "Then we better be careful"
Lane exclaimed "Or maybe Ian's being skeptical because we just arrived in a place completely unfamiliar to him and he still hasn't let his guard down"
Paul walked towards the bathroom "Ian never lets his guard down and by the way, I'll be having my bath first"
When Paul was done, Lane went in next and Dorian just sat on the chair by the window and looked outside while Paul was putting on his clothes
Paul chuckled "What are you looking away for? I'm not naked"
Dorian shrugged and caressed Milky in silence
When Lane was done, Dorian went into the bathroom and Lane told Paul after he was done changing "Paw, I wanna go play with Baebae and try to make her remember me"
Paul was playing a bubble game on his phone as he lay down on the bed "Alright"
Lane left the room and closed the door after him
Paul saw a portal appear beside him where Dorian's clothes were so he grinned then pulled the clothes out of Dorian's reach "If you wanna wear it, come on out. We both know you're not naked"
Dorian expanded the portal and came out of it then stretched out his hands "Give it"
Paul remarked "Why do you like hiding your six packs?"
Dorian looked down and sighed when he realized he came out in only underwear
Paul gave him his clothes "Here you go so you don't catch a cold"
Dorian raised an eyebrow at him and just shook his head
Paul asked "You wanted to say something, what was it?"
Dorian didn't answer him and wore his clothes
Paul asked "How's your arm?"
Dorian replied "Washed and closed up"
Paul was puzzled by what he meant then took Dorian's arm "You stitched it? How? When?"
Dorian responded "In the bathroom, I saw a first aid box and found materials to use so I decided to stitch it up so it would stop bleeding. Didn't take much time"
Paul looked at Dorian anxiously "Did it hurt?"
Dorian didn't answer and Paul hit his shoulder aggressively
Dorian yelled in surprise with clenched fists "Hey, what was that for!?"
Paul fell back onto the bed in shock then Dorian held his forehead "I'm sorry for yelling. I'm just a bit worked up"
Paul turned his back to him and Dorian sighed "What's your problem now? I already said sorry"
Paul shook his head "You're being too indifferent towards others and yourself which is not right!"
Dorian turned Paul around and raised his chin up to face him "You mean your feelings?"
Paul slapped his hand away "Don't try to flirt your way out of this, you know what I mean and that doesn't work on me, go try it on someone as dumb as Lan"
Dorian nodded "I've heard you, I'll be less uncaring"
The two left for the living room
Paul saw a toddler with amethyst purple shoulder length hair and golden brown eyes then went to carry the little one "Lala, remember me?"
Lilac giggled and tried to pinch Paul's cheek "You're still as adorable as ever also very naughty too"
Lilac placed Paul's finger in her mouth and Paul cooed "Aww"
Lilac saw Dorian and tried to reach him
Paul smiled "She wants you to carry her"
Dorian looked at the pouty baby who wanted to reach him and at Paul who was trying to give her to him then sighed
Dorian carried Lilac "Fine"
Lilac grabbed his hair and tried to eat it but Paul stopped her "Ian's hair is not food"
Lilac looked at Paul in confusion then looked at Dorian and giggled "Gaga"
Paul teased Dorian "She just tried to call you Dada"
Dorian rolled his eyes "Nonsense, it's just baby talk"
Lilac pulled Dorian's cheek "Gaa"
Dorian stated "See, baby talk"
Paul chuckled when Lilac tried to climb onto Dorian's shoulder
Molly informed them when they sat at the dining table "Bobae, your mum just arrived at the elevator"
Bobae left her food and ran to welcome her mother "Mummy!"
Gaeul came in with Bobae "You guys are here! That's great"
Yilao greeted her "Sis Gaeul, it's been a while"
The three boys spoke in unison "Aunt Gaeul"
Molly stated "I made your dinner so sit and eat"
Gaeul refused politely "I must freshen up first"
Molly stood up to sit her down "Nonsense, food is also important then you can go freshen up. This way you don't have to stress yourself to cook dinner when you get home"
Gaeul has a beaming smile on her face "Thank you, Molly"
After they finished with dinner, Molly, Yilao and Paul cleaned up while Gaeul quickly went to freshen up
Lane and Bobae watched a cartoon and Lilac stuck to Dorian trying to pull his hair or his shirt
Gaeul came back after she was done
Molly went to get Lilac and asked "Oh wow, she's asleep? How did you do it, Ian?"
Dorian replied "Nothing, I let her tire herself out"
Molly took Lilac to her crib and gave her a goodnight kiss "Sweet dreams, Lilac"
Then Molly, Yilao and Gaeul went off to Yilao's room to have a little chat
Dorian went to their room to use his laptop and Paul saw nothing to do so he went to go join Dorian
Paul met him on his laptop and tapped his shoulder "Guess what, Ian?"
Dorian continued tapping away as he replied "What?"
Paul pulled his clothes behind which highlighted his body "My curves are becoming curvier"
Dorian glanced at him and pursed his lips "Good for you"
Paul went to bed
A few minutes of silence, Dorian looked to his left and realized that Paul had slept off
So Dorian lifted him and placed him in the middle of the bed then covered him with the duvet as he took off his glasses 'You must be tired'
A few hours later, Lane also came in to sleep and locked the door from the back
Lane laid on the left side of Paul and said to Dorian "Good night, Ian"
Dorian replied "Night, Lan"
Late midnight, Paul woke up and removed Lane's leg which was on his stomach then he spotted Dorian still on his laptop "Ian"
Dorian was surprised to see him awake and asked "What's wrong?"
Paul said "Come to bed already"
Dorian paused what he was doing then shut the laptop and switched off the lights
When Dorian climbed onto the bed, Paul raised the duvet so Dorian could get covered too
Dorian laid down on his back then Paul rested his head on his chest and his arm on Dorian's belly "Ian, goodnight"
Dorian gulped and removed Paul's hand from his belly "You too"
The next day, A man with orchid purple hair and black eyes came to wake the boys up "Hey, boys! Missed me?"
Lane rubbed his eyes and woke up "Bro Jack?"
Jack was elated to see them "Lan, Ian and Paw are still asleep, right?"
Lane and Jack fist bumped and Lane replied "Yeah, seems like it"
Jack ruffled Lane's hair "Well, let's disturb them"
Lane pumped his fists in the air "Yes!"
Jack shook Dorian awake and Lane tickled Paul awake
Paul shouted while laughing "Lan! What's your problem!?"
Lane chuckled "Bro Jack's here"
Dorian reluctantly opened his eyes to look at Jack who was grinning energetically and sat up "Bro Jack, good morning"
Jack ruffled his hair which was already a mess "Morning, my favorite ball of sunshine"
Paul high five Jack "Morning, Bro Jack, how was work yesterday?"
Jack shrugged with a smile as he stood up from the boys' bed "Ehnn, the usual"
Jack ruffled Paul's hair and said to the trio "Wash up and we'll call you when breakfast's done although it's only me and Lilac that's awake right now, everyone else is asleep"
Lane said as Jack reached the door "I'll wash up and come play with Lala, she was stuck with Ian yesterday that I wasn't able to play with her"
Paul chuckled "Or more like you stuck to Bobae"
Lane did a silly face at Paul which made Jack laugh "Alright, alright, Lan, come join us in the living room when you're done"
Lane went to the bathroom and Jack left the room
Paul and Dorian laid back on the bed while Paul used the duvet to cover his head "It's seven in the morning on a Sunday and as expected, Energetic Jack woke up first with a huge bundle of energy"
Dorian yawned "Lala definitely takes after him"
Paul removed the duvet to look at Dorian was rubbing his eyes "Your morning face looks explicitly alluring, Ian"
Dorian rolled his eyes "Why would you say that to me when those words suits you best"
Paul pouted as he took a mirror "No, it doesn't, my morning face is messy"
Dorian looked at Paul who was pouting at his reflection in the mirror 'Damn you, damn hormones'
Dorian cleared his throat and turned his head away "Your morning face is pretty" 'hot' he completed the sentence in his mind
Paul looked at Dorian "You aren't even looking at me"
Dorian pursed his lips and turned his head back "You look pretty, Paw"
Paul felt contented with the compliment and dropped the mirror then faced Dorian "You really think so?"
Dorian affirmed "Yes"
Lane came out of the bathroom and changed into an orange hoodie and black jeans "You two lazy bums should wake up"
Paul threw a pillow at him and Lane ran out of the room chuckling
Dorian sat up but before he could get off the bed, Paul tugged him back which stunned him that he lost balance and fell on Paul
Dorian's face was about to touch Paul's face so he shifted a bit and his face landed on the pillow Paul rested his head on
Paul cheeks because slightly red and placed his hands in Dorian's shoulders trying to push him up "S-sorry for that, I didn't- uhm.. I didn't expect you to lose balance like that"
Dorian sighed and pried Paul's hands off his shoulders "Paw"
Paul responded "Hmm?"
Dorian used his hands to support himself as he hovered over Paul then stared at him with an unusual gaze which made Paul cheeks redden "W-what? Is there something on my face?"
Dorian didn't respond and just stood up then left for the bathroom with his clothes leaving Paul staring at the ceiling in embarrassment 'W-why was he looking at me like he.. he wanted to eat me?'
Dorian came out dressed in black hoodie and black jeans then went to pet Milky "Morning, sleepyhead"
The cat meowed in response and purred against his hand which made Dorian smile
Paul glanced at him as he ran into the bathroom and Dorian chuckled
Paul came out in a singlet and underwear then frowned at the clothes set for him to wear "The driver needs to upgrade his fashion"
Dorian glanced at the dark green sweat vest and black shirt and black skinny jeans "Looks alright to me"
Paul glared at him "Wanna exchange?"
Dorian shrugged "I don't mind"
Paul wore the jeans and immediately came to take off Dorian's hoodie who grabbed his hands "I can do it myself, Paw"
Paul shrugged "I just felt like doing it for you, just take it off already"
Dorian rolled his eyes and took off his hoodie then gave it to Paul who eagerly put it on "Although I don't really like black, it does look good on me"
Dorian wanted to go take the sweat vest and shirt when Paul took the sweat vest "Just wear the shirt"
Dorian complied and went to use his laptop
Paul took his own laptop too so he could go through his design and submit it
An hour later, Paul was done and looked at Dorian who immediately turned away back to his laptop then Paul blinked in confusion and asked "Were you looking at me?"
Dorian shook his head "No, I was looking at Milky"
Milky who was napping on Paul's lap meowed in confusion when its name was mentioned
Paul had an amused smile on his face "Ian, you're a very bad liar, I know I'm pretty"
Dorian rolled his eyes as he tapped away "Get a hold of yourself"
Paul chuckled and dropped his laptop "Oh really?"
Dorian side eyed him "Yes"
