Howard jumped on London as the Flareon got up from the couch. The Eevee licked his face, "Morning"

"Morning, how are you?" London says, hugging the little Eevee.

"Good... Have you seen my glasses?" Howard asks.

London puts his glasses on him and the Eevee laugh, "Thank you~"

"So what are you going to do today" London asks, patting his head gently.

"I wanna hang out with you all day!" Howard says excitedly.

London laughs, "Trust me, my day is pretty boring"

"Uh huh" Howard replies, the Eevee jumps off him and takes hold of his paw. London sighs and goes to the lavatory to brush his teeth. Howard, being like the Flareons brother, follows him in and brushes his teeth too. After that the Eevee went to help him prepare breakfast.

"Hey hey don't add too much sugar!" London says.

"Sorry" Howard says, the Eevee embarrassed at his mistake.

"It's alright, we all make mistakes" London says with a laugh, "Now it'll be sweet enough but let me just add a bit more cinnamon-"

The Flareon shook the cinnamon shaker a few time before setting it off to the side. Howard wiped some cinnamon on the counter with his finger and put it in his mouth, the Eevee squeaked loudly, "Ah! Spicy!"

"Bruh-" London said.

Ethän and Akihito who were hiding in the corner watching them cook started laughing at Howard. Howard grabbed some water and drunk it immediately, the burning feeling on his tongue was gone. London bonked the spoon he was going to use to stir on Ethän and Akihito's heads.

"How about we don't laugh at his mistake, he's still learning like you guys" London says.

"Sorry" They both reply, holding their heads.

When the two were done cooking. Howard presented the food him and London worked together to make... They called it Vee cookies... They were small brown balls with a soft exterior and a sweet cinnamon smell. They also had filling made from crushed berries so that way they others could get some vitamins and nutrients while enjoying a sweet treat.

The others ended up loving them so much they begged London and Howard to make seconds, rather then doing that though, they gave the recipe to Asami and Ethän so they could eat them anytime they wanted. London on his way home, let Howard Tag along. The Eevee had never been to or seen London's place before and he thought it would be a good to meet his family... Little did the two know however that there was a guest following behind them. Howard snuggled up with London as the two rode the tube to London's place.

"Are you and Ethän staying PG?" London asks.

"Yeah... But it's kinda hard" Howard says, the Eevee starts poking his fingers together, "I guess I was used to kissing like that and doing all those things in bed that both of us are kinda struggling to do something that's not well lovey dovey. Like we still hug and I like that a lot. But it's awkward now that we're trying to control ourselves"

"Trust me Howard, you'll get used to it-"

"I hope-" Howard says, resting his head on London's chest.

Howard whines softly while pushing his head under London's neck. The Flareon rubs Howard's back to soothe him as the train continues to speed along.

When Howard got to London's place he was amazed at how big it was. After all him and the others did live in a smaller home in East Sheen after all, his home back in America wasn't the roomiest either. When the Flareon opened the door Howard stepped inside and London closed it behind him.

"Whoa-"

"Cool right?"

"Super cool" Howard says marveled at how luxurious the home was. His favourite part was the living room and the first thing he did once he finished exploring the house was jump on the couch.

"Your house is awesome!" Howard says excitedly.

"Glad you like it" London says handing him a glass of juice.

Isabel peaking over the kitchen counter, Howard noticed her and his excitement grew even more, "Isabel!"

"Oh, it's just you Howard... Hey"

"Why was she hiding behind the counter?" Howard asks, tilting his head to the side.

"I'm trying to fix the sink" Isabel responds, "I've been at it for hours with no luck"

"Did you help her at all?" Howard asks London giving him a disapproving glare.

"It was working fine when we got back from Canada" London responds, the Flareon says sweating nervously.

"London's telling you the truth" Isabel says, "After he left to go check in on you guys, I tried to fill a pot of pasta with water and nothing came out"

"What if I fix it?" Howard offers, the Eevee picking up one of the wrenches on the floor.

"You want to do that?" London asks.

"I can try my best!" Howard says with a confident smile.

London and Isabel look at each other and then laugh, "Okay, go ahead! Haha"

"Yes!" Howard says excitedly, then the Eevee goes underneath the sink. And starts playing around with the bolts.

Isabel and London sit on the floor and watch him work. Howard spent an hour under the kitchen sink. Tightening, loosening, and a bit of aggravation but eventually he found the problem. The Eevee pulled a small dark brown ball from the pipe and put it In a bucket, he reinstalled the connecting pipe and came out from under the sink to turn on the water... To their astonishment, It worked.

London and Isabel were impressed with Howard who turned around and gave them a blep face. Out of excitement the two hugged the boy who started laughing, he appreciated the attention so much.

"Thanks Howard!" London says.

"Your welcome-" Howard replies,

Moonlake watches from the corner, he doesn't understand what's happening at all. But the biggest question on his mind was who that Eevee London and Isabel were playing around with was and why was his smile so heartwarming. Omar who was preparing to go back home noticed too but his reaction was different...

"Ehhhh?! What are you doing here!?" The Eevee says pointing at Howard.

"What are you doing here?!" Howard shouts back, pointing right back at Omar.

"You two know each other?!" London and Isabel shout in surprise.

"This motherfucker" Howard says, squeezing the wrenche in his paw.

"Little shit" Omar retorts, glaring at him and cracking his knuckles.

There was tension in the air as Howard and Omar stared at eachother intensely, it was as if they could start fighting like cats any moment. The two walked towards each other and stared deeper into each others eyes, they snarled at each other, Moonlake turned away, London and Isabel began sweating profusely as they watched the two boys stare at each other menacingly. It felt like they were going to start attacking eachother but then...

They hugged instead, "Friend!" They both said in unison.

Moonlake, Isabel and London turned white, they didn't expect that to happen.

"How are you!?" Omar asks.

"I feel great!" Howard replies, still hugging Omar.

"Is Ethän treating you right?" Omar asks.

"Mhm" Howard replies, "I still like to give him roses... With my mouth, lol"

"You should have seen Moonlake's face when I kissed him from behind this morning! He was like"Wahhhh!", is was adorable!"

Moonlake's face turned red and her covered his face with his long ears, "B-Baka..."

"So they're both gay... Okay then-" Isabel says, giving a thumbs up.

"I can already assume what bonded these two together" London says, not surprised at all with the conversation they were having.

"Boys are the best!" The two boys shouted, then they start laughing. Moonlake come from out of the corner and starts banging on Omar's back softly, "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Talk about something else!"

Omar wraps his arm around Moonlake's shoulder and presents him to Howard, "Here's the crybaby himself-"

"H-Hey! Fuck off!" Moonlake says, his face getting even redder, Omar kisses his cheek making Moonlake jump in surprise.

"Haha oh that was funny-"

Then, without warning there was a bang on the window, hanging on for dear life on the window frame looking into the living room was Ethän, the Eevee was shaking nervous as he tried to keep his balance.

"What the fuck-" Omar says.

"E! What are you doing?!" Howard shouts alarmed at what he was doing.

"You forgot your wallet!" Ethän shouts from outside the house.

"Oh bloody hell-" London says and he immediately rushes out to pluck Ethän from the window.

When London got back inside carrying Ethän with him. Howard grabbed him by the ear, "Don't you ever do that again!"

"I'm sorry! I was worried about you though" Ethän says feeling ashamed for what he did.

"Just approach the door like a normal person!" Howard shouts.

"Okay fine... Sheesh"

Omar snickers and it turns into a laugh as Howard turns away from Ethän with a pout face. The Eevee panics and starts apologising copiously to Howard.

London and Isabel look at each other, neither of them has any idea what's happening anymore, Moonlake hugs Londons arm, the Eevee still embarrassed by what Omar did.

Edelweiss
Düsseldorf, Germany

Rico had never felt so down before, he was sitting in the same cell with Luke. Both of them were given special collars that could both shock them and also shut off the flow of their aura so they couldn't use it as a power boost to escape. Daniella was tasked with watching the brothers while Keyen kept his eye on Alexa. The Lucario sat there staring at an angry Luke who was pacing around his cell, Rico meanwhile sat on the bunk bed with his head down in shame.

The pink Lucario got a can of soda on the floor and started drinking it as Luke stopped pacing to notice her drinking her can of soda.

"Stop fucking looking at me" Luke snarled.

"... What if I like looking at you... I mean, you seem pretty pissed that your incompetent brother here tried to free you for here. Look at him he can't even look me in the eye"

"What the fuck are you supposed to be?... My babysitter. Listen to me you stupid bitch, you don't understand jack shit about me and my brother here-"

"Clearly you must have forgotten files exist, also-" She pushed a button on the control pad and started shocking both Luke and Rico with the collars, she waited about four seconds before pushing the stop button then she got up and knelt down in front of Luke, the light from the energy field radiating on her face, "... My name isn't bitch, it's Daniella... Daniella Vasquez... Get that threw your incompetent, steroid filled, little skull. And your gonna show me some respect, because if you don't-"

She shocked them both again, the two brother screamed loudly until she pushed the stop button again, "- I will hurt you"

Tetrahyde came by and gave Daniella a giant pretzel. Luke snarled loudly as Daniella sat back on the chair, he banged the energy field and sat in the corner. Rico groaned and laid back down on the bed. The Lucario banged his fist on the wall.

"Why did it have to fucking end up like this" Luke says to himself.
