Welcome to Atlantis Academy! (Lia && Chokuro)

Not really taking kindly to being poked, Acheron clamped his teeth down on Honey's finger tightly, still putting bread in the toaster. Calder chuckled a little but gently prodded the toddler to let go. "Honey's just being...Honey. He's a lot like your Daddy so cut him some slack, yeah?" He kissed his son's head and went to turn the bacon. The little boy just growled at his cousin and shifted away from him. "Go round the other two up." He bumped his hip into Honey's to get him out of his way, and moved around to put the food on a platter. "Lets hurry up before Daddy eats it all!"
 
"SHIT!" Honey hissed and resisted the urge to smack him, hissing a little under his breath. "Jerk!" He growled, pulling his finger against his chest and kissing the tender flesh with a grumble. "Brat." he stuck his tongue out like the kid he was and turned to sit down at the table with a huff.

Rune grinned. "That's my boy." He picked up up and moved to sit him at the table then went and got the other two, adding another chair to the table.
 
Calder just chuckled and moved breakfast to the table before sitting down himself. He fixed plates for all three kids, but held onto the mysterious toddler's for a second. "Are you going to tell us your name?" he asked. Yes, he was trying to bribe the kid. But all he got was a raspberry blown at him. Sighing, the blond just shook his head and set the food down in front of him, which the little boy happily dug into. "You know, you're going to have to tell us your name sooner or later. Or else we get to name you. And we've been wanting to name a kid the same as Rune's middle name here..."
 
Rune looked up at his love, cheeks puffing out as he stared at him. "oh yes. A nice little Rumpel would make the collection of kids perfect." He grinned and looked over at Honey who was obviously resisting the urge to snort.

Kherty perked up then turned to the boy. "Can I know your name?" He asked, realizing that he would probably need to know that. He really wanted to.
 
He laughed a little and reached over to cut up the kids' eggs as he watched the exchange between Kherty and his...soul mate? It was odd to think of him that way considering the fact that they were so young. But he supposed that it made sense if he thought about it.

Giggling, the little boy leaned over and whispered his name in Kherty's ear, and Calder could see a slight blush on the boy's cheeks at being so close to the other. "Hey now. None of that. You're way too young."
 
Kherty giggled lightly at the other and smiling as he heard his name. He loved it. He liked his name a lot. And he liked being that close to the other. It really was the best to have him sleeping beside him. It was the most relaxed he had felt in... a week. He just loved it. He lifted his head and looked at Calder with a puff of his cheeks. "But... I like iiit." He stated and leaned against Julian's shoulder with another giggle.

Honey arched a brow. "Wow. You're even more of a player than your Mama." He grinned and then looked over at Rune. "What? you're a Papa to these two? Pfft. Fuck that shit!"
 
"There will still be none of that just yet," he repeated, giving both a stern look. The nameless little boy just grinned at him and turned back to his breakfast. "And if you start acting like Rune we'll just have to sell you off," he threatened, turning to his own food and beginning to eat. Breakfast, after that, returned to the norm and Calder lifted his two sons under his arms to go wash them while instructing Honey to get the other. The blond set all three in the bathtub together and began washing Acheron's hair while the other two played. "What would you like to do today?" he asked, trying to dote special attention on him so that he wouldn't feel as left out.
 
Honey walked after the three and looked at the boy in his arms. He then poked the boy a little before helping him get out of his clothes. Setting him into the tub then sitting nearby with a little sigh. He looked up at the three in the tub and pinched Acheron's cheek. "Say beach! Beach!"

Kherty giggled before splashing Honey. "No! Don't pinch Acheron." he huffed and stuck his tongue out at the other. "Bad honey!" he added and then turned back to Julian to get the boat and float it in the water with a giggle.
 
He looked at the man who was poking him and gave him a hard gaze before answering. "Museum!" Acheron stuck his tongue out at Honey and turned to his mother, smiling a little. It didn't really matter to him what they did, but it was nice to be able to pick! And maybe, he thought, he'd be able to talk his parents into thoroughly ruining their dinner with sweets and ice cream while they were out.

Laughing, Calder understood what his son was doing and nodded. "Okay. Museum. The dinosaur one or the science one?" he asked, moving to Kherty's new boy and beginning to wash his hair, too.
 
Honey pouted. "See if I make you any nice clothes." he mumbled and then turned to look at the wall across from them.

Kherty poked his mama. "Don't hurth im!" he said with a soft whine, scooting a little closer to Julian. He did not want to be parted from his new friend.
 
Calder batted Kherty's hands away. "I'm not hurting him," he assured. "That orphanage hadn't given him a proper cleaning and he needs one." The blond squeezed another dollup of shampoo into his hands and began to scrub the boy's head once more. "Splash Honey. He likes that." To prove his point, Calder splashed his nephew a little and then turned back to the boy he was washing. "So. Do you want to go to the museum with us, too?"
 
Honey squeak, even more so when the little miniature managed to get the water down his back and pants. He let out a soft scream and jumped up instantly... especially when Kherty began throwing handfuls of water at him and making him drenched. He hissed and took his shirt and pants off. "you are evil children and my ovaries are tying themselves into knots because of you!" He then paused. "Wait. I don't have thsoe... My testicles!" He hissed and once he was in his boxers began to splash the kids some more - truly childish.
 
Another few months had passed, and all three boys were nearly five (at least they seemed to be?). Julian (Acheron had let the boy's name slip to Rune at some point) was inseparable from Kherty. The boy seemed to know when either Calder or Rune were even thinking about separating them for even a split second and threw very grand tantrums. The blond wondered how the two would do at school. They'd be going sooner than any of them thought. "What do you think of sending them to Prometheus?" he asked Rune as they were getting dinner together. They hadn't discussed where they were going to send them, and for all Calder knew his husband was planning on sending their children there. But he had to ask.
 
Rune looked over at Calder. "I don't think anywhere else would accept them." He stated with a little laugh. "We can do Prometheus or Atlantis. Whichever... but somewhere where by next year, they're eight, no one really questions it." He smiled and kissed his love's cheek before he pulled back a little bit. "Does that sound all right?" He smiled and kissed the other's cheek, currently watching the trio swimming around in the pool. "Prometheus may be better since Relic and everyone else are there and won't mind beating them." He paused. "would it be bad to send them without us?" He turned to the other. "I don't mind... I mean. I had been joking about boarding school, but I..." He groaned. 'I kinda wanna stay here and not go back. At least not yet."
 
Calder understood his husband's reservations. While they had always let their children go when it was time, they had never had to let them go this early. They had always been at the school that their children attended, and this would be a first. The blond leaned into his husband and hugged him. "I think that Prometheus would be good. Like you said, they have family there. But... Atlantis has its merits. It's closer to us, and they will be the only Lin's there... No one to fight for attention with, or to live up to..." Really, he wasn't sure which he liked better but he knew that he and Rune needed time on their own, and this would be the perfect opportunity.
 
"Well. We're loaded so they can come visit whenever they want. I think Nikkos still knows some people at Atlantis..." He looked odwn at him and smiled. "Should we ask their opinion?" he offered, figuring that might be the best option. That way the kids could have a choice, and then they would not really have to make a decision. "So I won't feel guilty about them being there, but! We still need to think of the where...">
 
He nodded, agreeing. "We can call Nikkos. Maybe when they're seven they can visit each school for a time and tell us where they'd prefer to go..." He hated to make the decision for the boys and have it be the wrong one. He wanted them to have some sort of say, even if they were still young. The blond leaned up and kissed Rune lightly before sinking back into him. "I wonder if Acheron and Kher will choose the same school..." He had no doubt that Julian would defer to wherever it was that Kherty wanted to go, but Acheron was still feeling as left out as ever, and that worried Calder, too.
 
Rune nodded and trailed his fingers through the other's hair, sighing softly. "What should we do about Acheron?" He asked, eyes staying to the three, leaning into his head. "I see him still looking sad." He murmured. He hated that the boy seemed to be so left out. The two never seemed to ignore him or anything like that, but there was obviously a bit of left out feeling in the boy.
 
"I'm hoping that his mate will be at one of the schools..." It was the best bet, other than a chance meeting. "I think that they're the only set of multiples in this family who aren't attached at the hip." That fact saddened Calder, because with each set of multiples that anyone had had, that meant a built in best friend. But with these two... That just didn't seem the case. "I'll take him out tomorrow," he offered. "You can entertain the other two, right?"
 
"of course. Maybe some mommy-Acheron time will be good for him." He smiled and leaned over to kiss his lips. He then leaned back and let out a soft sigh, eyes closing as he did so. "I really like them choosing when they're older. I think that's definitely the best option." He said, grinning a little bit more.
 
He nodded, nuzzling into his lover's neck a little. "I just worry that they'll be so young... What if he chooses one school and his mate is at the other, but later?" Calder sighed a little and shook his head. He knew that he couldn't play the 'what if' game, and it seemed that Julian's instincts had drawn him to Kherty. He could only hope that Acheron's would draw him to his own mate. The blond kissed the other man again before stepping away to finish making dinner. "Wanna get them ready?"
 
Rune looked down at the other and laughed a little more. He kissed his head. "We found each other." He stated with a happy smile, kissing him again. "Acheron will find his as well. He just may take longer. He is part me after all." He laughed and then looked over at the kids. "HEY! DONT GO HAVING FUN WITHOUT ME!" he yelled, jumped up and then running at the pool. He threw off his shirt and pants, swim trunks under, and he cannon-balled into the water, far enough from teh kids where he would not drown them.
 
Acheron giggled as he paddled over to his Daddy, sitting securely in the duck-shaped inner-tube. "Daddy! Daddy! Teach me to swim!" He was eager to be allowed in the pool without any floaties, but had yet to master not drowning. He held his arms out to be lifted from the tube. Julian shrugged and splashed Kherty playfully. There wasn't much they could do in their own tubes, but he was perfectly content to play with his friend in any way that he could.
 
Rune giggled. So cute! He quite liked being called Daddy. He smiled and lifted the boy out of the tube, holding him under his arm around the waist. "Okay move your arms and legs." He smiled some more, waiting for him to begin doing that before he moved his hands under his belly, keeping him just slightly within the water so that he could be there and still swim.

Kherty giggled happily, splashing him back and then beginning to swim around in circles within the tube. He was enjoying it too much. "MOMMY! MOMMY! JOIN US!" He called out, looking up at him and scrunching his nose to block the sun.
 
Acheron kicked and moved his legs as Rune instructed, blissfully unaware that his brother's soul mate now had his brother's undivided attention. He was having fun!

Walking over, Calder smiled and splashed both boys a little. "How about... You two come out of the pool and get ready for dinner, and I'll take you down to the beach afterward?" he suggested, reaching out for Kherty and Julian to swim to the side of the pool.

"What about Acheron!" Julian demanded, which was out of character for him and made the blond raise an eyebrow.

"Worry about you. Daddy will worry about Acheron." He stuck his tongue out at the boys and lifted them from the pool. "Upstairs. Dry off. Get dressed."
