Myungsoo rushed in and took Suho into his arms. "What happened? Why are you bleeding? Where is everyone else?" he asked in a rushed, worried voice.

Suho slowly turned his eyes towards him, not bothering to move his face, since he was drained of all his energy as soon as his beloved cousin embraced him. Warmth was nice, and he would take any he could get right now.

Myungsoo slowly traced his thumb over his cousin’s cheek before whispering, "What's wrong, love? You are a sorcerer, and I know for a fact that you can heal yourself instantly. Heck, you wouldn't even have been hurt. Instead, I see you staring at your wound smiling."

Suho smiled at him in a deranged way, "I am free! I am free!"

"What?"

Minseok was escorted into the dwarfs' house. Chanyeol had his hand around his waist, as he steered him in. Minseok marveled at his height, really this one almost came up to his chest.  That is very tall for a dwarf. The others usually were usually around his navel. What was more interesting was how they were all so gorgeous, and their body proportion was so normal and lean, not stout like he had seen before. And, did he mention their faces? How could they be so gorgeous, he thought to himself while observing them, though only sneaking a peek at his favorite one, since he was still afraid of the cutie. Was he a masochist? No...not that he thought, but he couldn't help taking a liking to Kyungsoo when he saw the smile. Though having a favorite was a feat since they all were so gorgeous.

Minseok would have kept admiring the dwarf if not for Sehun pulling at his pants, looking up at him grumpily. "Why do you keep staring at Kyungsoo?"

Kyungsoo looked at him with curiosity, without any signs of his initial hostility.

"Uh...it because cute...that was wrong. I don’t sense..."

When Kyungsoo moved towards him, he exclaimed, "Sorry!" while putting his hands up as shield. The others just laughed, shaking their heads as they set about arranging for dinner.

He was surprised when Kyungsoo just patted him, "Sorry about before. I don't act like that usually but we recently had some thugs try to act up around here and I needed to make sure you were not trouble. Gotta look after the affairs you know, especially since I am the most sane one."

"Yeah right," came a scoff from Baekhyun who received a glare from Kyungsoo.

"I don't mean to scare you. You can act like yourself around me you know? I really won’t hurt you. Thanks for that vague compliment though." 

Minseok smiled shyly at him, "Sorry for getting tongue tied like that..."

He understood why Kyungsoo was his favorite. He was one of the few normal people in his crazy life.

He followed the other to the table, and smiled at the mouthwatering spread in front of him. His stomach gave an approving growl which had Sehun shifting to sit beside him. Did the guy have a thing for hungry people?

 Sehun looked at Minseok and started laughing again, and Minseok realized that he had said it out loud.

“I like you kid. Guys, I want to adopt him!"

"Adopt me? You don't look that old..."
