So here is the new chapter. Tell me if you like it ;D

The next morning Yibo was the first one to wake up. He took a quick shower and went down to the kitchen to prepare the breakfast. He made toast with fried eggs, waffles and banana milk. When he is done preparing he went up to Xiao Zhan to wake him up. He opened the door and walked up to the bed.

'He looks like a sleeping angel...'  he thought and smiled. "Wake up Xiao Zhan." He ruffled Xiao Zhans hair and gave him a slight kiss on his forehead. When he pulled back he saw Xiao Zhan looking at him. Yibos face turned red and he jumped up.

"Good mo-morning, Xiao Zhan. Did you sleep well?" he asked him with his back facing the younger boy. He rubbed his nape. Xiao Zhan didn't move but observed Yibo. When the latter didn't notice any reaction he turned around to see Xiao Zhan still looking at him.

"I am sorry. I shouldn't have done this..." Yibo mumbled and looked at the ground. "The breakfast is ready. Take a shower first I will wait."

Yibo quickly left the room and went into his own. "That was embarrassing. He was awake...." he mumbled and jumped on his bed. "Is he mad at me now? Yibo you messed up big time! You should stay away from him for the time being, maybe he will forget it then....What does he think of me now?" Yibo lectured himself and stared at the ceiling. After about 20 minutes he stood up and walked out of his room to wake up his brother.

On his way out he saw Xiao Zhan leaving his room. His hair war still slightly wet and he looked gorgeous Yibo thought when he saw the younger boy. When Xiao Zhan looked at the Yibo the latter quickly looked away. "We have to wake up my brother." he said and went his way to Haikuans room followed by Xiao Zhan.

Yibo carefully opened the door and walked up to Haikuans bed while Xiao Zhan stood in front of it. "Brother. Wake up. Breakfast is ready." Yibo said and gently shook his brother. The man in bed grumbled and tried to shake off Yibos hand. "Come on brother. We are hungry, wake up. Lets eat together. You promised yesterday." Yibo tried again.

Suddenly Haikuan pulled Yibo to bed and hugged him tightly. He wrapped his arms and legs around Yibo and mumbled "Lets sleep a little bit more, Yibo."

Yibo struggled and tried to escape but even if he was strong, Haikuan was stronger. "What is wrong baby brother. Why so weak?" Haikuan chuckled with closed eyes.

"I'm hungry and didn't eat yet, of course I am weak. Let me go and get up." he said but Haikuan just hugged him more tightly.

"You wanna kill me, old man?" Yibo said and struggled even more.

"What did you just call me?" Haikuan asked threatening. 

"Nothing? I said nothing" Yibo tried so save himself but it didn't work. Haikuan opened his eyes, caged Yibo under him in bed and tickled him. "Try to say that again, Yibo."

"No. No. I am s-sorry. Stop it please." Yibo pleaded while suppressing his laugh and tried to escape his brothers hands. Haikuan didn't stop and tickled him even more. "Br-Brother. Xiao Zhan is here too. Stop it. Xiao Zhan help me..." he shouted and fought against his brother but the latter tickled his little brother at a sensitive spot and Yibo started laughing. Xiao Zhan observed them and smiled. "I gi-give up. Pl-please, brother. Stop it. I ca-cant anymore." Yibo pleaded again.

"You have enough?" Haikuan asked chuckling.

"Yes, I h-have." Yibo laughed.

"Very well" Haikuan stopped. He got out of bed and walked up to Xiao Zhan. "Good morning, Xiao Zhan. Did you sleep well?" he asked him and Xiao Zhan nodded. The younger boy still looked at Yibo but the latter avoided his eyes.

After Yibo calmed down he rushed past Xiao Zhan and Haikuan to the door. "Lets eat now. I am really hungry." he shouted and went ahead. Haikuan wanted to follow but saw how sad Xiao Zhan looked. "Xiao Zhan? Are you alright?" he asked the younger boy. Xiao Zhan just nodded but didn't moved so Haikuan took him in his arm. "Are you feeling unwell? What is wrong?" he asked him but Xiao Zhan just shook his head and broke the hug. He pulled Haikuans sleeves and pointed to the door.

"I am hungry too. Lets go" Haikuan smiled and both made their way to the dining room.

When they arrived Yibo was already waiting for them. They sat down and ate without talking. Haikuan observed the two boys and saw his brother avoiding Xiao Zhan whenever the latter tried to get Yibos attention. 'What is he doing? Did he forget what we talked about? If this goes on Xiao Zhan might withdraw from us and hides himself in his room... Why are you behaving like that all of the sudden, Yibo?' he thought and frowned.

When they finished eating Haikuan stood up and walked to his brother. "Yibo. We need to talk." he said and walked to the living room. Yibo was confused and followed. Xiao Zhan didn't know what to do so he started to clean the table. He put the leftover food into the refrigerator and then he washed the dishes.

Meanwhile in the living room Haikuan confronted his little brother. "Yibo, what was that earlier? Why are you avoiding Xiao Zhan? He tried to get your attention and you ignored him? Why?" He asked him.

"I ... its...." Yibo didn't know what to say and looked at the ground.

"Yibo. Did you forget what we talked about yesterday? Please give me a reason for your behavior, I beg you" Haikuan pleaded.

"Its embarrassing. I did something and ... he... Xiao Zhan saw it... What if he gets mad at me? I ... I don't know what to do brother...it was embarrassing." Yibo said. Haikuan was confused.

"What did you do and why is it embarrassing? What exactly did Xiao Zhan see?" Haikuan asked further.

"......"

"Yibo??"

"I kissed his forehead while trying to wake him up.... But he was awake already ... I think...." Yibo confessed and closed his eyes.

"Excuse me?"Haikuan asked. He is in loss of word. "You did what?" he chuckled.

"I don't know why I did that. It was .. just a reflex.... I am sorry, okay! I will not do it again!" he shouted and run up in his room.

"Yibo, where are you going? Stop running! Yibo??" Haikuan shouted. "This boy ..... why should this be embarrassing?" Haikuan laughed. 'I don't think he was so cute like this back then...'  he thought and laughed again.

Haikuan made his way to the kitchen where he heard the water flowing. He saw how Xiao Zhan just finished washing the dishes. 'Guess I need to help my baby brother... or else he will avoid Xiao Zhan more often in the future. I have to prevent that.'

Haikuan waited till Xiao Zhan finished, went back to the living room and then back to the kitchen. This time however he stomped on the ground with every step he took, so the younger boy knew he was coming.

"Xiao Zhan? Can we talk for a minute?" Haikuan asked the younger boy and signaled him to follow him to the living room. He sat down on the couch and waited for Xiao Zhan. The latter came slowly into the room and looked around. Then he walked up to Haikuan, sat next to him and waited for him to talk.

"Hmm... how do I say this ... Xiao Zhan, did you realize Yibo's behavior this morning?" he asked Xiao Zhan and the younger boy instantly looked very sad and nodded.

"Do you know why he is avoiding you?" he asked further. Xiao Zhan nodded again.

"You know?" Haikuan is surprised. Xiao Zhan pointed at himself and looked like he is about to cry any minute.

"You think its your fault?" Haikuan was shocked. 'That is exactly what I was scared of.'

He took Xiao Zhan instantly in his arms. "No, no! Its not your fault. More like Yibo is very .... shy and .... embarrassed at the moment." he explained. He gently lifted Xiao Zhan's chin and forced the younger boy to look him in to the eyes. "Its is not your fault. Okay? Do you want to know why Yibo is embarrassed?" he asked.

Xiao Zhan slowly nodded again and Haikuan smiled.

"When he wanted to wake you up this morning.... were you awake already?" he gently asked.

Xiao Zhans nodded yet again.

"Then you know what he did, right?"

The younger boy's face turned red instantly. Haikuan chuckled.

"That is the reason he is embarrassed. He doesn't blame you for anything. He just didn't expect you to be awake already. He now thinks you will get mad at him for what he did so he is trying to avoid you. Do you understand?" Haikuan asked smilingly.

Xiao Zhan widened his eyes in in realization and shook his head.

"I know you are not mad at him, Xiao Zhan. If you were you would probably avoid him by hiding in your room" Haikuan laughed. "I asked him earlier and he really is afraid you are mad at him. So can you go to him and make him somehow believe that this is not the case? Or else I am afraid he will hide himself  the whole day" Haikuan looked in anticipation at the younger boy. The latter stood up and signaled Haikuan that he will go upstairs.

"Thank you, Xiao Zhan. When he is ready to come out again we will show you your new room. Alright?" Haikuan asked. Xiao Zhan nodded one last time and went up to the 3rd floor.

'Its up to you now'  Haikuan leaned back and waited.

After Yibo run up to his room he closed the door and went straight to the bathroom. He took a shower again to calm down. 'What will brother think of me now....Argh... I want to hide and never come out again.... Just what is wrong with me?'  he asked himself.

After the shower he wore some comfortably clothes and walked out of the bathroom. He jumped on his bed and closed his eyes while listening to his favorite music using his headphones. He tries to think of something else than  a certain person.

After a while he almost fell asleep but when he felt light kiss on his head he opened his eyes instantly and looked straight into Xiao Zhan's eyes. He jumped up and tried move away but Xiao Zhan hold him by his sleeves.

"Xi-Xiao Zhan? You...is something the matter?" Yibo asked Xiao Zhan but the latter just looked at him.

'Now or never...'  Yibo thought.

"Alright. Xiao Zhan I am sorry. I didn't intend to make you mad. I thought you were still sleeping... no! I mean even if you were still asleep I shouldn't do something like this. I know you hate it and I still did it. I am sorry. I am a terrible uncle ... I am sorry." Yibo apologized and avoided Xiao Zhan's eyes.

"Please don't be mad at me... It will not happen again. I will ....." Yibo started but was interrupted by Xiao Zhan who wrapped his arms around Yibo and hugged him. Yibo was loss at words. 

'Did ... did he forgive me? He did, right? His hug feels so warm... '  Yibo thought and smiled slightly. 'Should I hug him back? No, better not...'

After some time Xiao Zhan broke the hug. He looked again at Yibo and smiled brightly while shaking his head.

Both boys were sitting on the bed and looked into each others eyes.

"Xiao Zhan? Uhmm... I have to confess something else." Yibo started.

"I... Yesterday in the hospital ... when Dr. Wang examined you.... I had to leave the room. I didn't intend to leave you alone with him, I swear. But he said its better when I am not present while he examined you. It was only for 15 minutes. I checked on you right away. Dr. Wang is not a bad person, we can trust him. I promise you I will not let you alone anymore as of now. Can you... forgive me for this too?" he asked and closed his eyes in anticipation. When he didn't get a reaction after a few minutes he opened his eyes again and saw Xiao Zhan opening his mouth. But no tone came out. Xiao Zhan is deep in thoughts. So Yibo waited. 'No sound is coming out of his mouth... if his larynx is not injured it really seems to be a mental problem... Xiao Zhan ... just what happened to you?'

Some time later Xiao Zhan hold his pinkie finger in front of Yibo. The latter smiled and hooked his own little finger with Xiao Zhan's.

"I promise I will never let you alone." Yibo said and Xiao Zhan nodded happily.

"Xiao Zhan, can I ask you something?" Yibo asked.

Xiao Zhan tilted his head and waited.

"Is it okay if I call you just Zhan?"

Xiao Zhan paused for a moment and then nodded.

"Thank you, Zhan" Yibo smiled brightly at Xiao Zhan.

The younger boy stood up and walked to the door. In front of it he turned around and waited for Yibo.

Yibo smiled, walked up to him and together they left the room and went down to the living room.

Haikuan fell asleep on the couch while waiting for his family.

This time Xiao Zhan carefully walked up to Haikuan and shook him slightly. Yibo stayed in the back and watched them.

"Only 10 more minutes, Yibo. Only 10. I promise I will wake up then." Haikuan grumbled with closed eyes.

Xiao Zhan looked at Yibo and the latter nodded at him encouraging. So Xiao Zhan tried it again, this time a little bit harder.

"If you don't let me sleep, I am gonna tickle you again" Haikuan threatened. Xiao Zhan giggled and with that Haikuan finally opened his eyes. "If that isn't my son. Guess I have to wake up then. Don't worry, I will not tickle you." he said and winked. 

"Brother! Are you playing favorites?" Yibo complained.

"What do you mean?" Haikuan asked innocently and stood up.

"So when I wake you up you gonna torture me and if Zhan does it its totally okay? If that is not playing favorites, then I don't know anymore." Yibo crossed his arms and pouted.

"Look at that, Xiao Zhan. You uncle is getting childish again." Haikuan said and winked at Xiao Zhan.

"What? I am not!" Yibo put his hands on his hips and looked offended at his older brother while Xiao Zhan giggled. That distracted Yibo and he smiled at the younger boy.

Haikuan chuckled and stamped at the ground.

"I hate to bother you two but how about we check Xiao Zhan's new room now? I really want to see it. So can we?" he asked and waited for a reaction.

Both boys nodded. The three went up the 3rd floor again and stopped in front of the formerly empty storage room next to Xiao Zhan's bedroom.

"Xiao Zhan. This room belongs only to you. Here is the key. Go ahead and open it." Haikuan said and stepped back so Xiao Zhan could reach the door.

The younger boy carefully opened the door but didn't go inside. He looked at Yibo nervously and the latter knew Xiao Zhan was scared to go in first so he stepped forward and walked past the younger boy and walked into the room. That calmed Xiao Zhan down and he joined Yibo followed by the smiling Haikuan.
