Work Text:
A daily life with 1Nm8 would probably start with Rokuta waking up first.
The first thing he will do is trying to open his eyes slightly to remember what was going on.
Oh right it was another night where he asked Itsuki and Kei to sleep with him bc he was scared of having another nightmare.
It always works like magic so he feels really safe around his family.
Letting out a yawn he slowly got into a sitting position looking through his surroundings.
He was in his bedroom with his two brothers (he sees Itsuki as an older brother too). Slowly deciding to get up he headed straight to the bathroom to brush his teeth.
Coming to his least favorite part abt the morning routine, the mouthwash.
He really hates how it's in ur mouth and the taste it leaves after spitting it out.
Trying to just get through it he took a sip leaving it in his mouth for 30 seconds.
Spitting it out with a disgusted face trying to get everything of that green liquid out of his mouth he kept spitting in the sink.
"Finally", he thought after that.
The bright haired boy headed to the kitchen thinking of what he should do.
"Maybe I should attempt to do breakfast for Kei and Itsuki..."
Thinking abt it for a about a good minute he decides to start preparing for his brothers.
He thought abt trying to make some pancakes like a sweet breakfast bc he's really craving them at the moment.
As he was preparing the dough a slightly shorter guy with greenish-black hair entered the kitchen to find his friend or so called brother struggling with the preparation.
"Oh Rokuta you're already awake??" He asks and Rokuta answers "It shouldn't be strange for u to see me awake already because I'm always the one who wakes up first. After that you and Kei come along" the boy gives a smile.
Noticing that Rokuta might need help Itsuki went over to examine the strange mixture that he created.
"What are u trying to do??"
"I was trying to prepare dough to make some pancakes for breakfast"
Thinking about what he might've done wrong the guy noticed that the younger male didn't put enough milk into the bowl and that being the reason why his attempted dough turned into whatever this mixture infront of them was.
"Let me give you a hand. Please take out a pan and put butter in it to let it melt"
The yellow eyed guy took the milk standing at the corner of the table and poured more into the bowl to prepare a proper dough for the pancakes.
"Itsuki, I put the butter in the pan, what should I do now?" Rokuta asked.
Thinking about the question for a moment Itsuki answered "make sure the butter is melting properly"
Holding a thumb up the bright haired guy went to check on the butter.
After a while of mixing the ingredients flour, eggs, milk and vanilla sugar the dough looked ready for the next step. Itsuki looked over to Rokuta just to find a the butter burnt in the pan.
"Itsuki I think there was something wrong with the butter..." the male looks slightly worried.
"There's nothing wrong with the butter u just burned it with ur clumsy head"
Signing he chopped a piece of the butter and placed it in the pan.
"You have to move it a bit while letting it melt or else it will burn, understood?"
"Ohhh, I think I get it now. Thanks Itsuki!!!"
The butter melted so the greenish-black haired guy told his brother to bring the bowl.
"Now we have to do the pancakes on the pan. U have to place some dough in the pan and leave it in the position for a while always checking if the side is ready now or not. After you think it is u have to flip the half-finished pancake to make the other side too. If u think it's ready, you take your pancake out of the pan and place it on a plate. I will do it for you first and then you try it alone, okay?"
"Aye aye captain!"
The concentration the two guys had didn't even let them notice that there was a presence that entered the room too.
It was Kei.
Seeing his family having so much fun and doing normal things made Kei unbelievably happy. He felt so bad for them thinking about what alter trigger probably put them through so he wants to save his family to let them have normal, happy moments like these everyday.
"Do u two need some help??"
As the two snapped their backs to the direction of the voice both already knew who it was since it could only be one person now.
A bit surprised Itsuki says
"You woke up sooner than usual, did we wake you up?"
"Oh no! :( I didn't want to wake Kei up now I feel bad"
"Don't worry u two I woke up by myself actually. But now back to the topic u two seem to make some pancakes right?
I can prepare some toppings if u want"
"That would be very nice of you Kei, we thank u"
As some time went by Rokuta and Itsuki managed to make many pancakes with the dough that they had and Kei cut some bananas and strawberries while also taking chocolate sauce and sugar and cinnamon out.
"Wahhh I really want some strawberries on my pancakes!"
"Calm down Rokuta there's enough strawberries here for u to take"
All where sitting at the table peacefully while enjoying their pancakes.
Itsuki's just had sugar and cinnamon on it becauss he isn't a big fan of super sweet stuff.
Rokuta's was full of strawberries and chocolate sauce to the point that some started falling out while he was eating but nonetheless it was delicious.
Kei's had some cinnamon, bananas and a bit of chocolate sauce. He really likes bananas.
After all of them finished up their plate they cleaned the mess up that they had made while preparing the pancakes.
Now all of them do their thing.
Kei went to his room to make some music for his group
Itsuki planned a grocery list for later and grabbed a history book while Rokuta went out for a walk.
On Rokuta's walk he found a cute white cat all alone.
Thinking for a moment what he should do he approached it slowly to not scare it away. It was definitely cute and didn't show any signs of having an owner nor being scared of him what doesn't quite make sense because cats with no owners are normally scared of humans.
"Sorry, who are you?"
A voice suddenly came from his back. Looking behind him Rokuta sighted a very tall male with green hair, wearing a white long jacket.
"Oh, I'm sorry if this is your cat I didn't know. I just saw it alone here so I approached it"
"You don't need to worry it's not my cats. Her name is Lula and she doesn't have an owner so I check up on her here everyday because she always sits here"
Walking to Rokuta's direction he squatted down to pet Lula with his hands. The boy looks genuinely happy with the cat.
"U seem to know a lot about her. My name is Rokuta, what about yours?"
Staring closer at Rokuta now the cabbage head noticed how much younger the boy actually looked like. Rokuta wasn't that short thinking about the average height of a japanese male so he thought that the bright haired boy would be older.
"My name is Hokusai. I love playing with cats they're very cute. In my free time I look after a lot of street cats."
"You sound like a nice person Hokusai!
I'll leave Lula in your care now cuz I realized I still have something important to do but it was nice talking to you!
I hope we meet again soon, Hokusa." And with that Rokuta left these two.
"He's a nice boy" Hokusai thought.
Now the thing that Rokuta remembered was that he wanted to buy a CD to watch a movie with his family today.
Walking to a CD store he looked through all the CDs that were gathered there.
"So many, now that's hard to decide" he thought.
After sometime he finally chose an adventure movie that looked pretty nice to him so he grabbed it and payed for it.
Going out he thought that now was the right time. He took his phone and headphones out and played Baumkuchen End by Eve.
Walking back home while having Eve blasting through your headphones became a daily routine for him by now.
Distracted by the different songs playing in his headphones he didn't even realize that he was already home.
Opening the door the first thing that he noticed was that good smell that smelled like kaarage.
As his interest was peaked Rokuta went to the direction of that smell to see the kaarage getting prepared by Kei.
"Oh Rokuta, you're back?"
"How could I not come back when this smell possessed me??"
Laughing slightly Kei is signaling the taller male to take a seat at the table and Rokuta got it but first he wanted to give his brother a little hug.
"Thank you very much Kei!!"
His hug was so powerful it made his brother gasp.
Noticing it he quickly pulled away.
"Oh no, I think I put too much power in my hug."
"Don't worry about it Rokuta, it's alright." Kei said. It wasn't unnormal for this to happen. Rokuta sometimes unknowingly put too much power while holding certain things causing them to get one or two scratches. In the worst case scenario they break. He always feels bad for it but his brother tells him it's alright.
Itsuki's the one who always tells him that he's spoiling the boy too much but he really doesn't care.
Now the kaarage was ready and a hungry Rokuta was sitting at the table full of excitement. "Rokuta, can you ask Itsuki to come too?" Kei asked. "Sure, I'm gonna head to his room"
The taller male stood up walking in the direction of the greenish-black male now.
He knocked 3 times signaling that he's coming in.
What he saw behind this door was Itsuki reading a book by himself and noting something on a piece of paper.
"Is there something Rokuta?"
Oh, he zoned out for too long he probably kept staring at his brother.
"Ahh, sorry I just wanted to say that lunch is ready."
Together they went to the kitchen where the food was already placed on the table ready to get eaten.
It looked like Rokuta had stars in his eyes when he saw it. Of course because kaarage was his favorite after all.
Now it was the 3 of them sitting at the table and talking about random topics.
Kei told them about a new song that he's probably going to start.
Itsuki talked about a history book that he had started, mentioning that Rokuta should read a few books too but the boy just gave a disagreeing sound from him.
Rokuta had told them about how he met Hokusai and that he had found a movie that he wanted to watch with his brothers tonight.
Itsuki warned the boy saying that he should be careful of strangers cause they might not all be that nice and Kei agreed with his statement.
After they finished and cleaned their dishes Rokuta had to study with Kei.
Since he isn't visiting a school Kei wanted to study with him at home because his brother needed some knowledge.
Rokuta dislikes studying like every other teen but he tells himself it's useful now what chance does he have?
Before they knew it it was already dark and they had finished studying.
"Finally" Rokuta let out, relieved that the studying session was over.
"Can we watch the movie when Itsuki comes back from grocery shopping?"
And like a magic spell the yellow eyed male entered their apartment. Both guys knew now they would have to help him with sorting out the groceries.
Itsuki always buys them because he thinks that going out at night clears his mind from the day. He finds himself very relaxed with that routine.
Now they were all seated next to each other infront of the TV enjoying a movie that Rokuta had picked out this morning for them to watch.
Rokuta who got tired quickly leaned to the closest person that was Itsuki and put his head on the guys lap.
Finding his hand going to the brighter haired male on his lap he started playing with his hair.
Observing the situation Kei smiled at them. The sight of them makes him happy and he thinks that risking his idol career for this was definitely worth it. He feels bad for his former members from Visty and he still thinks of them as something important in his life but he's happy to have his family gathered here around him. These people made him genuinely happy and he felt at ease seeing how they deal with each other. It was certainly an adoring sight.
Noticing that Itsuki had dozed off too and entered the dream land he turned the TV off.
There was no way he could carry them to their rooms without waking them up so he decided to lean against them and doze off too.
What an amazing family he has.
