busied himself with making a little lego town while they wait.

smiles at that and decides he can spare a few minutes to play with his soon. He sits down beside him. "Need help?"

smiles and pushes a half finished building towards him. "Help me finish this? I want it to be all this colour," he replies, holding up a green tile. He was having a hard time finding more though in the pile.

glances around the pile and starts picking out the green ones as he gathers them in a pile for Kiku. "How tall do you want it...we might have to use a different colour if you want it any bigger."

hums. "As tall as we can," he nods, trusting Papa to figure it out as he continues building a thin red skyscraper.

studies it and decides to give it a shot as he begins assembling it.

here! Is totally here! He stumbles through the front door, whacking himself with his keys in an effort to get his bag off. "West, I'm not late!"

glances up from his position on the floor, lips thinned. "You're not because I gave you the wrong time to be here." He says having predicted this. "Will you be fine taking care of Kiku. I will be home late."

looks up when he hears Gilbert home at last, dropping his lego in favour of getting up and clinging to Gilbert's leg. "I'll take care of him!" he volunteers.

[xDD I do that to my brother!]

rubs his nose, pouting at his brother. "The hell, I would have been here on time! Where are you going?" He perks up when Kiku latches onto him, and picks the kid up, tossing him lightly in the air. That..was_

_easier when Kiku was younger. "Me? I'm supposed to be taking care of you, you little munchkin. How are you gonna take care of me, huh?" He's offended, really. He's the favourite uncle, of course he can handle_

_this.

flushes lightly at the question but covers it up well when he turns to reach for his jacket. "There's a late launch that I need to attend." He answers briskly.

gasps and giggles as he's tosse up, clinging to Gilbert once he's back down. "Nono, I'll take care of you!" he insists with a grin. "I can be stern," he says, making a

stern face in mockery of Ludwig's scolding face. He smiles, tough turning to look at Lud again and waving at him.

West a suspicious look, not buying it for a second. "I think...West has a date, what do you think Kiku? Kiku, you get to interrogate. Your best stern face, okay?"

an exaggerated gasp, looking back to Ludwig. "Are you going out with a pretty lady tonight?" he asks, making a stern face again.

is really bad at keeping the flush from his face. "It's nothing just a launch." He's making his way to the door.

grins. "Liiies! Kiku, he owes a dollar to the lie jar! Have fuuuun, West~~"

flushes. "Everything you need to do is written on a paper on the fridge. Have fun you two." He says before making a quick escape.

turns to Kiku. "No West in the house, you know what that means?"?

waves bye to Papa as he hurries out, blinking and looking up at Gilbert. "Uhmmmm... ice cream?"

pauses. "That's a good idea. But I was going to say, pillow fort...or rather..blanket fort."

hums at this, nodding in agreement. "Ice cream in our blanket fort," he decides. Both ideas was best!
