**Lien = Vietnam; Kasem = Thailand**

Leon walked into his family's apartment, grinning to himself. He had just got back from "hanging out" (aka going to the movies and cuddling) with Emil. Western dates were really cute, he had to admit. And he had decided he didn't mind that Emil was so shy.

He took off his shoes and coat and put everything by the door. Lien was probably still at her night classes; Mei and Kasem were probably still at work. Who knew were Yong Soo was. So for once, Leon could be at peace in his own house.

He walked into the kitchen and opened up the refrigerator.

"So I heard you're dating Emil Steilsson."

Leon squealed and dropped the milk. At least it wasn't the soap. "What the holy heck, Yao?!"

Yao Wang calmly folded his hands over his lap. How had Leon not have noticed him when he was just sitting at the kitchen table?

"Didn't I tell you no boyfriends--"

Leon winced and turned back around. Stupid hypocrite, he was crazy about Ivan Braginsky himself!

"--until you marry?"

"But... that doesn't even make any sense." Leon said.

Yao shook his head. "Never mind. Marriage is stupid. Don't marry, study."

"Yao, I'm not even like, in school!" He threw up his hands.

"Study!"

Leon huffed and went back to the milk. Yao was weird. Maybe having to take care of so many kids had finally made him lose it.
