Blood bond relations are not the only family.

************************************

Today was another pleasant day like any other. It had been 3 weeks since the twins had joined the café and everything was pretty nice. Living with the twins was like living with two naughty kids who knew how to have fun non stop. Jaden felt like he was reliving his childhood. He often remembered the times when he and his little sister Belle would run around the garden Chasing each other. The memory was still clear in his mind. His mom had asked them to water the plants since it was sunny and then the both ended up playing water fight in the garden. Him splashing water at his sister while she laughed and ran around.

"Larry table no. 4 cappuccino " Chris informed. Larry was another person who worked at the cafe.

"Where?" Larry asked, quickly brewing up a Cappuccino

"Table no. 4" Chris re-informed .

" Okay there goes a Cappuccino for table no. 4 " Larry mumbles while placing a cappuccino in front of Damien, and moving over to deliver other orders.

"Where's Jaden? " Chris asks.

"He is on the stage with the newbie Eric. " Neil replies.

"Are you sure he'll do it? I mean Eric is new here, can he do drumming? " asks

Chris doubtfully.

"Oh yes, he can, he is the best drummer in this whole cafe, ya know?"

Damien said. The twins looked at him a little shocked that they hadn't noticed him until now. He was a regular customer, and always orders cappuccino on table no. 4.

"Ahem! Sorry to interrupt you, but I know Eric, he is good at singing and drumming. " Damien said.

"Oh, hi! Damien, sorry we didn't notice you. "Chris apologizes.

"Hi, Damien." Neil greets.

"Oh, that's OK and hi." Damien greets.

" So, how do you know Eric? Have you met him before or something? "Neil asked.

"Oh yeah! He is my roommate. And a good friend. We were actually gonna move out together and we were searching for jobs and he is a good singer and drummer then I found out there is a vacancy here so I brought him here, since you both suck at drumming... " Damien informed not so politely.

"Hey! We try our best, OK?" Chris said offended. Damien just scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Yeah yeah whatever. " He says

" OK then we gotta go. " Neil says and both the rush over to the stage, when thay saw Jaden waving over to them. The show started, with Jaden singing and Eric drumming and Chris and Neil with guitar and keyboard, it was a very nice performance and every one in the cafe applauded as they finished, it was almost time for them to close and most of the customers had left. That's when Jaden notices Damien sitting by his usual table and walks over to greet him.

"Oh, hi Damien! Sorry dude, I was busy. By the way you didn't leave for home yet, any problem? " Jaden

" I am here for Eric" Damien Says.

"Oh you both stay together? " Neil asks

" Yup! we are roommates. "Eric says, popping out of nowhere.

"Yeah! That's true! We are actually looking for places to move out" Damien Informs

" Any luck yet? " Chris asks.

"Unfortunately, no." Damien continues.

"Hey guys I am actually looking for roommates...and I haven't had any luck as well so why don't you guys move in with us?" Jaden asks.

"Yeah good idea! What say guys? "

Chris says.

" Oh I don't know ask Eric, I am kinda bad at making decisions, " Says Damien

All eyes shift from Damien to Eric, looking at him with a hopeful glint in their eyes. Eric nervously takes a step back feeling uncomfortable from the four pairs of eyes which were drilling holes in him waiting for an answer.

" Uh....okay I guess..." Eric says unsure of the decision he just made. He was uneasy, because no matter how kind and nice Jaden seems, he is a total stranger and up until now he hasn't had good experiences with strangers.

"Yay!" everyone cheered, while running round the cafe celebrating, Eric sighed in relief. He chuckled when he saw them still celebrating, and realized that his decision might not be so bad, they were a bunch of little kids trapped in bodies of muscular men.

Jaden, was overjoyed. He could see his family rebuild which in the future will stand up for him while he does the same, they will help him cope with the dreadful past he has had and the years of loneliness he had to face. This was his family now and he was happy about it.

Eric and Damien discussed the day of moving in and all of those formalities. To say that Eric and Damien were shocked when Jaden said he didn't need rent was an understatement. He had said that the money could be used in other stuff like groceries and bills. They all then returned to their homes.

***************************************************************************************************************************

" Damien!! get off the table right now!" Eric yelled at Damien who was on top of the table with his Nerf gun searching for his targets which were the twins. Jaden had gone Grocery shopping, Eric had originally offered to go but Jaden asked him to look after Damien and the twins, at first he didn't understand why they had to be looked after but now he did. They were a nuisance. They had decided to play with their Nerf guns.

" Chris stop running around!!" He yelled at Chris who shot a bullet at Damien missing him by an inch.

"Oh god Neil stop jumping onto the counter!" yells Eric when he sees Neil jump up at the counter trying to get a shot at Damien but shooting Eric instead.

" Guys!!" he got shot with another bullet.

" Will you all stop?!" and he got shot again, and now he was continuously getting shot. He was getting furious, because he couldn't catch any of the three. When he tried running after one of them the other would come and shoot him while the one he was chasing disappears and everything repeated until he got so furious that he groaned loudly standing in the middle of the house getting shot by three different directions.

"Guys!! I swear if you all don't stop I am gonna cut you off your sugar candies and ice cream!!!" he screamed, and immediately all the bullets stopped and three pairs of puppy eyes were looking up at him. He sighed rubbing his forehead with his fingers trying to soothe the building headache.

" We are sowwy... please don't take away candy." they pleaded. He sighed again cursing Jaden for leaving him here alone to deal with these kids.

"okay I will not take it away if you clean up the house and play in the garden. No playing with Nerf guns inside the house got it?" he instructed. The three furiously nodded their heads

" We promise!" They say and quickly pick up all of the bullets laying around the house and running of to the back garden. Eric slumps down on to the couch massaging his throbbing head. Thinking about how Him and Jaden were the only adults among the five.

" What a bunch of naughty kids! " he mumbled chuckling to himself while remembering their antics. Shaking his head he walked up to his room. His Family was crazy, but he was not complaining.
