Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aysun responded with incoherent mumbles and buried his face into Leon's shoulder until he was sat down. Shortly after, Nikolai appeared in the dining area, sitting down beside him. "Dearie, when are these guests of yours coming?" he asked while leaning against the palm of his hand.

"Ah yes, the lawyer and his child boyfriend," Nikolai mused. "I assume he'll bring that Parker boy of his along with him, hmm?" He scratched his chin in thought until he heard a whimper beside him. Glancing over, he saw Aysun gripping the table tightly while looking down.
"Hmm? Are you alright, dearie?" he asked with a concerned raise of his eyebrows.
Aysun shook his head. "I don't feel good..." he mumbled before grabbing his stomach. It wasn't like he wanted to throw up. Well he did, but it wasn't as strong. He felt... like he was being tickled, and he didn't like it. It happened every time he thought about Parker, too.

"No," Aysun shook his head vigorously. "I wanna play with Parker again!"
Nikolai leaned back, his half-lidded eyes gleaming. A stomachache yet the persistence to play with someone? Could he...? No, he was overthinking it. Aysun was just hungry, or perhaps excited to see his old playmate. Perhaps, since Parker's so much older, he considers the man a role model, hence the excitement?

Aysun nodded and hopped off the chair, hurrying to the stairs.
Once he heard the door close, Nikolai glanced at his husband. "Hmm, you've got that fatherly look in your eyes, dearie," he noted. Then again, when didn't Leon have that look in his eye?

"If he were bullying him then why would Aysun insist on him still coming down?" asked Nikolai. "Someone in that circumstance would surely jump on the opportunity to stop him from coming. Besides, I don't think they've played together long enough for that to happen. I think he just thinks of the boy as a role model."

"He has a crush?" Nikolai grinned as he finished Leon's train of thought. "I was thinking the same thing, darling. If we both think it then there must be some grain of truth to it, yes? Although I suppose the only way to know for sure is to see how they both respond to each other, hmm?" He rose from his chair, moving over to give Leon a comforting pat on the back. "Your son's already in love, my my," he snickered.

"Goodness, is it hot," panted Nikolai from his seat near the small table outside. Despite his sweat and disdain for the weather, he still wore his suit. Why didn't he change? Because he didn't want to. Translation: he was too lazy to go upstairs and find something to wear. Besides, he had this certain... look about him that only this suit could fit. Or maybe he was too used to wearing this for nearly a century.
The only change to his outfit was a large sun hat that shaded his face and a paper fan he used to vigorously fan himself with. All it really succeeded in doing was blow hot air in his face.
Aysun, on the other hand, wore a light pink shirt with shorts on. He had his prized light up Sketchers on, excited to jump around to show Parker the cool lights. He was excited and nervous at the same time. He wasn't sure why, either. He was happy whenever he was around Daniel, but with Parker it was a different sort of happy. It made his stomach feel weird, and he was always excited to show him something he found to get praise from him.
