An Ancient Feud (Private, 18+)

[Sathenus]

"They really are." Kaine agreed with a nod and a small smile. While he hadn't been the most enthusiastic about kids in the beginning he didn't regret them adopting Ash and Ren, though he truly felt the fact that they adopted them while they were older was a lot of the reason why he enjoyed being a parent to them so much. "I know, the twins are growing up so fast." He mused, remembering when they were born, now they were walking and talking and heading into kindergarten. The past few years had seemed to fly by and a lot had happened. "I am sure the vampire blood really helps that. At least for now. Only time will really tell if it could become a problem as they get older, especially around puberty." He said thinking about how well the twins had been doing with school and all at such a young age. Glad neither had issues with becoming wolves at school. Kaine felt that the vampire blood running through their veins had a lot to do with that. But he wasn't sure how well the twins would be as they got older and hit puberty. "Yeah, if the first day of preschool was any indication I definitely don't see Shi handling it well." Kaine admitted. He leaned over for a kiss, smiling at him. "The twins are excited for school though I am sure, Annabelle absolutely loved preschool and while Kai wasn't the most thrilled he did warm up to it rather quickly." 

"Why?" Kai whined when even Daddy said he couldn't take Little Daddy to school tomorrow, telling him it had to stay home. He clung the stuffie close to his chest, clearly not agreeing with either of his parents that it needed to stay home. "Outside toys aren't allowed at school, Kai. But we'll bring him to you after school like we used to." Alise tried to make him feel better that the stuffie couldn't go to school with him but she could already see the tears in his eyes, clearly he was not okay with this. She tapped her fingers against her thigh trying to come up with some sort of solution to this that would possibly make their son more willing to leave him at home. As she was trying to think of that though she turned her gaze to Annabelle, not wanting her daughter to think that Kai was getting all of the attention even if it was really important that they got him to understand he couldn't take Little Daddy to school. "I know it's not your favorite but it'll help you grow up big and strong. Just take two bites for Mommy." She encouraged her.

[virtualoo]

“Shi did not want to let them go off to school. Poor guy was all moody all day” Tenmo said with a chuckle. Shi hadn’t wanted to let go of Kai and Annabelle, his robot arm so hard to pry off the little guys body. “Annabelle wil be eager to get in the building but poor little Kai. Poor Shi had a rough time with ‘Little Daddy’, can imagine that is going to be a rough one” Tenmo nodded, knowing they both had an easier time with an older guy as much as it was emotional. 
 

“Little Daddy will be wishing for you right at home” Shi said as he tried to remain strong as he always was but it hurt so much. He tried to think of anything, looking to Alise for any ideas or help. He tried looking through his phone for anything to help, sending something to Alise. “We can make little daddy lunch. Momma can make a lunch that looks like little daddy. Then you can eat it at lunch and then it won’t be so long until you see little daddy again” Shi hoped to stop the others tears, it breaking him further 

[Sathenus]

"Oh yeah... I forgot about how little Kai is anything but excited for school." Kaine admitted, having forgotten that while Annabelle was always so eager that Kai had been anything but. He hoped it would be easier for the little boy now, especially after doing preschool and making it through that alright. "I am sure you and Alise will be able to handle it, though I have a feeling with Kai having to go even longer without 'Little Daddy' that you'll be prying them both off of each other." He honestly told his husband. Feeling that Kai would have a hard time letting go of Shi too since he wouldn't be able to take the stuffed animal that his Uncle Otso had made for him of his daddy to school and would have to be away from him longer than he was used to. It even made his heart hurt a little for the little boy, knowing it'd kill him to have to do that to Ren or Ash if they were that age and attached to something too.

Kai pouted, not wanting to leave Little Daddy home, he needed him at school! He couldn't make it all day without him. He was pouting hard, his little face buried in his stuffy, sniffling unhappily, even less excited about school now than he had been before. Alise was heartbroken seeing how upset Kai was, she knew that they had to break it to him though and that they had to stay firm and not let Kai sway them. The stuffed animal couldn't go to school, it wasn't allowed. She looked down at her phone when it went off seeing it was from Shi she looked at the message and she had to admit that would be perfect. Her eyes moved from her phone to Kai as Shi was asking him about it. Kai's eyes peaking up over Little Daddy, still full of tears. "Little Daddy lunch?" He repeated sniffling again before he looked up more. Kai wiped his eyes with his little hands, looking sad at Little Daddy again. "Okay, Daddy... but you'll bring Little Daddy after school?" Kai finally agreed, looking up at his Daddy with big puppy eyes.

[virtualoo]

“I’m sure everyone will be fine. And Ren has Solaria..and he came so far. I’m sure he will adapt wonderfully to school in time. I hope it doesn’t become too much, Solaria looked just as happy to hear he was going to try and go for his first year this year. If anyone bullies or hurts my little boy..” Tenmo said with a little growl before he took a breathe to relax, telling himself he will be fine. “We better get to bed love, I want to be up early to make our boys breakfast. And oh, everything okay with Ash? He seemed fidgety today” He said with a raised eyebrow as he helped finish cleaning up so they could go to bed faster.

“Yes, it will look just like him. Then you can look forward to lunch” He nodded, glad he was able to remain strong. His little ones were going to school..his blood family..his babies..Oh it made his heart hurt in a whole new way. “Yes, I’ll bring Little Daddy when me and Mommy get you from school” He nodded, not thinking he couldn’t otherwise. He still thought it was the best gift he received since Otso also got him his robotic arm. Otso was a marvel of an uncle to the twins and he trusted that man with everything in his heart. Annabelle had hesitantly taken her two bites of corn before bolting from the table, Shi shaking his head with a chuckle. “She has Uncle Otsos energy for sure, someone is eager to go to school” He shook his head with a smirk. She took after her uncle far too much, or the energetic wolf side of her at least. Kai, while a daddy’s boy, seems to take after the more reserved side of his mother. “Daddy, Momma, tell me about how you met again for bedtime story. Pleeeeease?” Annabelle had come tuning back and tugged on Alises sleeve with a puppy dog look in her eyes

[Sathenus]

"I doubt anyone will pick on him. Ren is a nice young man, he's caring and considerate. Not to mention he's really taking after Ash and becoming quite the attractive young man. I wouldn't be surprised if he fit in extremely well." Kaine admitted with a soft laugh, not worried about Ren being bullied. Though he knew that if anyone even tried they would have a very angry Daddy to deal with, not that he wouldn't be upset too but Tenmo would definitely beat him to it. Taking his boyfriend's hand he went upstairs to their room with him. "Yeah, Ash is okay. He's just a bit anxious that's all." Kaine replied, not really wanting to give away why Ash had wanted to speak with him. Though Kaine didn't like keeping secrets from his husband he wanted to help keep this secret for Ash so that there was absolutely no chance of it getting back to Asahi.

"Okay, Daddy." Kai replied, thinking that it would be okay if his lunchbox looked like Little Daddy so he could still have him with him in some small way. There was a small smile that crossed his face when his Daddy said that he would bring Little Daddy with him and Mommy to pick them up from school. "Thanks, Daddy!" Kai happily replied. Alise laughed at how quickly Annabelle took her two bites of the corn before getting down and darting off. They were talking with Kai a little more so that he would be comfortable leaving Little Daddy behind when Annabelle had come back and was tugging on her sleeve, she looked down into those large puppy dog eyes and gave her daughter a loving smile. "Of course sweetie. Go with Daddy and brother to get cleaned up for bed while Mommy cleans up the table, then I'll come join you guys for story time and we'll tell you the story again." Alise told her daughter, ushering her off to Shi. Kai having gotten down from the table with Little Daddy firmly in his hands and was waiting patiently at the bottom of the stairs for the other two. Alise cleaned up the table and gathered the dishes taking them back to the kitchen. She swept up the floor around the table thanks to little Kai and his messy eating and then wiped the table and the kids chairs off to make sure there wasn't any food stuck to them before heading upstairs to help get the kids ready for bed.

[virtualoo]

“As long as he is all right” Tenmo said with a soft sigh, wondering what Ash had to be so nervous about. He was likely worried about Ren going to high school and didn’t want him to worry so pulled him aside? That was the only thing he could think about if Kaine wasn’t telling him the exact reason. “Let’s go or I’ll be fretting over this all night” Tenmo sighed, knowing the anxious feelings will keep him up about his son going off to school for the first time.

 

Shi sighed in relief when Kai smiled again, always preferring to see his little ones smile. Tears broke him inside, feeling lost and paternal and hating to see them sad. He knew the first few months were rough, panicked every time they cried in his Shi sort of way. Shi scooped up Kai in his arms as Annabelle darted off to get clean with Kai in the bathroom, attempting to brush her teeth by herself. Shi had to help clean up the mess but she was proud of herself for doing it ‘by herself’. She quickly rushed off to bed to get her pjs on, Shi Helping her into bed and holding Kai for a bit  so Annabelle could tell them both the story of how Mommy and Daddy met

[Sathenus]

"He is. " Kaine promised his husband with a loving smile. Not wanting Tenmo to worry about Ash, he had everything handled. In the morning he'd go with Ash to get the perfect ring for Asahi. Getting into bed with Tenmo, Kaine curled up against his husband with a pleased sigh, eyes drifting shut. "I love you, puppy." Kaine murmured lovingly. Already half asleep, not all that worried about tomorrow. If anything he was excited about helping Ash and about Ren's first day of high school. 

Kai happily held onto Daddy as he was scooped up, talking to his Daddy about different things as he was carried up the stairs and to the bathroom to get ready for bed. Kai wasn't as eager to try things by himself, having Daddy help him with the toothpaste before brushing his teeth. After he was ready he leaned into his Daddy who was holding him as they waited for Mommy to come up for the bedtime story. Alise joined them in Annabelle's room for the bedtime story, making sure everyone was comfortable before she started to tell the story of how Mommy and Daddy met. Kai was asleep before she was even halfway through the story, Little Daddy clutched in one hand, head on Daddy's chest and thumb in his mouth. Alise thought it was adorable, even if she knew they'd have to try to break him from sucking his thumb before it became a problem. She continued the story until Annabelle had also fallen asleep.

[virtualoo]

“And then Mommy and Daddy met again…and They loved each other so much..and Daddy took mama to the big tree and..happily ever..” Annabelle mumbled with Alise trying to finish the story but she soon passed out as well. Shi kind of loved how them meeting became a mystical bed time story or as Annabelle once called it, Beauty and the beast. Mommy was the princess to save Beast daddy, always giggling he started that dance with her with him being bribed with a steak at a dance lesson.

 

The next morning was somewhat chaotic in all the households, everyone being up a bit early to get ready for various people to go to school. While the bigger kids would be walking most of the way on their own, they wanted to see them off. Tenmo was up early making the pair some lunches, Adrian already at Shis house they had built for the pair shortly after Solarias 10th birthday, since they were unsure of where to go and a room would get small quick for a family of 4. Annabelle was eager to see grandpa, eager to show one of her grandpas her new outfit for school. Ash was up early to help Ren and he didn’t get much sleep being nervous for ring shopping. “How does it look Uncle Kaine?” She asked, coming down in her school outfit and a low ponytail with a small bow, giving him a little twirl

 

[Sathenus]

Kai was pouting and sitting on the floor holding Little Daddy in one hand and rubbing his eyes with the other, finding it too early and not wanting to go. He was all dressed in his outfit for school but refusing to get his shoes on. Despite agreeing last night Kai had once again become very unwilling to leave Little Daddy behind and that made him even more unwilling to go. Alise had given up on trying to coax him right now wanting to make sure that they got his special lunch box ready in the hopes of making their son feel better. Annabelle on the other hand was as rambunctious as ever, happily showing her grandpa her school outfit and running around. It was definitely a little hectic getting twins ready.

 

Kaine had sorted and gotten dressed with a slight yawn, still not used to early school mornings.  As he was coming downstairs he was met by Solaris, showing him the outfit she had picked for the first day.  "You look beautiful, Solaria. Have to fight those high school boys off." Kaine replied with a smile. Ren was still hovering by Tenmo, watching what he was doing intently, two flicking behind him. His youngest looked quite handsome as well in the outfit he had picked and it was sweet that Ash had gotten up early to help Ren get ready. "You two excited?" He asked receiving a shrug from Ren who was still intently watching his Daddy pack their lunches.

[virtualoo]

“Come on Kai, you can take him to school but he will stay with Daddy how about that? You can bring him there but you can’t take him in okay? Don’t cry” Shi said as he kissed Kais head, hating that he felt so broken hearted to see him sad. He tried to help him get his shoes on as He could hear Adrian from here being coaxed around by his daughter showing him everything. “And then Mommy’s making a lunchbox and I got my glue in my bag and everything!” She called out, riding on Adrian’s shoulder and holding onto his wolf ears. “Ready ready  go go go” She said eagerly, Adrian chuckling. “I don’t know which you you gave this little pumpkin an endless energy tank, Not Daddy for sure” He chuckled, looking down at Kai. “You remind me so much of your daddy when he was little. You are a Little Daddy yourself” Adrian grinned.

“Kaine, stop!” She laughed with a small blush on her face. “You look great” Ash came up behind Ren, patting his back and giving him a little neck nuzzle. “I am so proud of you” He said softly, pulling him into a hug and Tenmo tried not to gush at how cute it was. Wanting to let the brothers have their moment

[Sathenus]

"But I don't wanna go to school, Daddy!" Kai whined, even if being able to take Little Daddy with him on the way there did make him feel a bit better. He didn't like the idea of staying there all day without him, and he was tired and didn't want to. Still, Kai sat there on the floor letting his Daddy put his shoes on him, holding his arms out to be picked up after. His eyes moved to his grandpa as he was told that he reminded him of his Daddy when he was little. It did make Kai feel a bit better, he liked being like Daddy.

Alise came into the room not long after, having finished packing their lunchboxes. She showed Annabelle the cute little lunchbox they got her before putting it into her daughter's backpack, then she turned to Kai. Showing her son how they made his lunchbox look like Little Daddy to help him get through the day. Kai did seem to like it, causing Alise to smile as she put it away in his backpack too. Glad to see that Shi had managed to get him into his shoes, so they were all ready to head out. "I don't know where Annabelle got that endless energy, my bet is definitely from her uncle." Alise told Adrian with a soft laugh. While she knew that Otso and Shi weren't blood related that was the only thing that made sense for the endless energy that Annabelle had.

Kaine couldn't help but chuckle softly, "I couldn't help it." He mused. At the same time he definitely thought they'd have their work cut out for them with her and Ren both in high school. Not feeling like he'd be surprised at all if either of them, or even if they both, ended up dating quite a bit. Though there was still a small part of him that hoped Ren would build up the courage to tell Solaria how he felt. Ren was turning towards Ash when his brother spoke, smiling up at the older man, though he was quickly catching up in height. He hugged him back, his tail swishing from side to side, clinging just a little to the older man. As much as he wanted to do this he was feeling more nervous the closer it got to them actually leaving for school, the hug from his brother being something he needed more than he would have thought. "Thanks, Ash." Ren softly said into the other's chest. 

[virtualoo]

“Yup, Uncle Otso had lots of energy When he was little just like Annabelle here. And Daddy was like you Kai, he was very quiet and liked his quiet time but Otso was always there. If it wasn’t for Uncle Otso, i don’t think mommy and daddy would have met” Adrian smiled as Annabelle started going into her own retelling of the story. “And Otso gave daddy a steak to dance with mommy and they fell in love and-“ Annabelle giggled before Adrian chuckled. “All right all right, come on, let’s go meet up with Tenmo and Kaine to see the older ones off first” He grinned, letting down a wiggly Annabelle who ran right to Mom.

“All this food is making you grow a bit. You better not get as tall as me though, I’m the big brother here” Ash chuckled, ruffling up his hair. “Okay okay come on, or we will never get out the door at this rate” He chuckled, as much as he didn’t want to see his boys go out the door

 

[Sathenus]

Kai seemed to brighten up more when grandpa said he was quiet like his Daddy again, liking that very much. "I wanna be like Daddy when I get big too." Kai said happily, a smile appearing on his face. Much happier with this conversation than the conversation of going to school. Alise couldn't help but laugh softly as Annabelle started to retell the story of how they had met again, that was definitely her favorite bedtime story. She took Annabelle's hand when her daughter came running over to her, helping her get her backpack on before she was giving Kai's backpack to Shi. "Come on, let's get going. Don't want anyone to be late on your first day of school." She encouraged, leading Annabelle to the door.

Ren chuckled a small playful smirk appearing on his face, "I don't know, I think I want to be taller than you big brother." He replied with a laugh of his own. Being older allowed Ren to understand and appreciate even more what their parents had done for them, not just giving him parents though Ash had done his best to step in for him, but a brother too. He loved his older brother and he loved his parents. "Yeah okay, let's get going." Ren said softly, taking in a deep breath to calm his growing nerves. As ready as he was ever going to be.

[virtualoo]

“No you won’t! You are not allowed to be taller than me” Ash chuckled, forgetting about his own nerves from getting a ring to propose marriage to Asahi. He wanted it to be special, the ring, the moment…just like Asahi was. “Come on then, before anyone starts tearing up” Solaria smiled, extending her hand and taking Rens hand to walk him out thE door to meet up with everyone at Shis house to see them off. She hoped the kids departure to school would go okay, leaving before them for their school.

Shi put on his little backpack, it tugging at his heartstrings to see the two little ones off to the human school. They’re growing up…so fast…”No cry daddy!” Annabelle gave Shi a big hug, seeming to know when he was upset before seeing everyone else coming to the door, Otso coming late and Annabelle running to her Uncle to show off her backpack.

[Sathenus]

Ren couldn't help but laugh more when Ash told him he wasn't allowed to be taller than him, it just made Ren even more eager to see if he ended up taller than the other or not. He took Solaria's hand as she offered it to him, heading out the door and off to Shi's house to see the twins and head off to school. Kaine followed after the pair, knowing that Ash and Tenmo were right behind him. He wanted to see the twins off before he'd go into town with Ash to get the ring for Asahi. That and he wasn't quite ready for Ren to leave for school either, finding it more difficult than he had originally thought to see him off.

Kai stuck close to his Daddy as everyone started to show up for them to go to school together. Holding onto the older man's shirt, not wanting to let go, Little Daddy in his other hand. He was determined not to let it go until the very last second. Alise checked the time before ushering everyone out the door, not wanting anyone to be late for the first day and knowing with Annabelle and Kai that they'd be a bit on the slower side. Even with everyone being present being family Kai was his normal shy self, clinging to his Daddy and not really wanting to socialize all that much.

[virtualoo]

“You’ll love your teacher little Shi, It’s so much fun there” Otso smiled, giving him and Little Daddy pats on the head. He hoped he would be able to pry Shi off his little children when the time came to let them go. He remembered preschool being hard enough on the poor guy but almost all day without his twins, poor guy. Annabelle giggled in excitement, trying to hold everyone’s hands. “Too small” She giggled, holding onto both her parents hands instead. 
 

Annabelle thought the twins were adorable, loving to see them grow up and almost be tiny versions of them both. Shi had really warmed up since she first met him what felt like forever ago, loving to see him be a protective papa. “Well…” She said when it was time to part from the group. “This is it” She could see the high school from here, Adrian beaming in pride at his daughter. “You will be a fine young lady there. Don’t work yourself too hard” Adrian said with a tiny smile, slightly watery eyes as he gave her a big hug. “Daaaadddy come on!” Annabelle blushed in shyness, hugging him back before going to take Rens hand again with a small squeeze before letting go. “Let’s do this..” She grinned back at him, seeing Ash with the look of a proud family member watching them grow up

[Sathenus]

Kai wasn't so sure, but he did appreciate his Uncle's attempt to make him feel better. Smiling as Uncle Otso also pat Little Daddy's head, happily walking along with everyone else. Holding his Daddy's hand as he was walking to school with everyone, Alise was holding Annabelle's hand. Excited for the twins to start kindergarten, knowing that they'd have a good time even if Kai didn't seem to be so sure. As they reached the point for Solaria and Ren to head off to the high school she made sure she wished them both a good day at school, knowing that Ren was probably just as nervous as Kai was and her son was definitely not that happy.

Ren smiled as Adrian gave Solaria a big hug, seeing her blush while hugging him back. It was sweet really, he said goodbye to his parents and Ash before taking her hand and heading off towards the high school. He was as ready as he could possibly be, the more time that passed or the more thought he put into it the worse it was going to get. Once Ren and Solaria had headed off towards the high school Kaine walked with the rest of the group up to the elementary school, wishing Kai and Annabelle good luck at school and giving Tenmo a quick kiss before he was heading off into town with Ash to get the ring.

[virtualoo]

Ash wished them well as he saw them walk into building, Solaria looking happy walking in side by side with Ren. Her hand seemed tight in the others, worried about Ren but hoped he would be okay. He squeezed Kaines hand as he walked towards the jewelry store, knees feeling weak. He was so scared to think of it happening but he wanted this more than anything. He wanted to do the tradition he learned of putting the ring on the finger and getting married to his longtime mate.

 

The elementary school was decorated in colorful banners, many a new parents talking to teachers and sending off their kids with teachers of various kinds. “Come on big guy, time to let them go” Otso smiled, Shi even more quiet than normal. “Come on daddy, you can’t go to school with meeeee” She giggled, trying to get his fingers off of the other robot hand that held her. Shi was rather quiet and reserved, not ready to let his kids go off

[Sathenus]

Kaine gently squeezed Ash's hand back as they went towards the jewelry store, knowing that his son was nervous about it. "It's alright." Kaine reassured him with a smile, gently rubbing the back of his hand with his thumb wanting to help him relax. It was something he wanted Ash to be excited about, which he was sure the younger man was, but he didn't want him to be nervous about it either. Knowing in the end that everything will fall into place when the time was right. As they walked into the jewelry store he let Ash lead the way, figuring that his son already had some sort of idea what he was looking for.

Kai was looking around at all of the other kids and parents, clinging to his Daddy's hand and clinging to Little Daddy with the other. He really didn't want to go in there without Little Daddy, it made him even less willing to let go of Daddy's hand. Even as his Uncle's were trying to convince his Daddy to let them go, his eyes moving to his sister who was all too eager to go to the school. Watching as she tried to get free of the robot hand that was holding onto her. Alise rubbed her husband's back gently, "It'll be okay, love. But we don't want to make them late for their first day of school either." She encouraged him to let go of the twins so that they could meet their teacher and go inside.

[virtualoo]

Ash was so happy his ears and tail didn’t pop out in the middle of the store. It took him a moment to even talk to the person behind him, finally managing to ask him about the ring he wanted. It had beautiful gemstones that matched the color of the others eyes, actually holding it in his hand. Today…Today he was going to ask him. He was actually holding the ring in his hand..This was all real. He held the box now in a nice red velvet box close to his chest. He quickly dashed out of there with his Dad before his nerves would be shot. He tried to send a text on his phone to see if he still wanted to meet up at this nice restaurant for lunch but his hands were shaking too much in nerves and excitement. A nice romantic lunch and wearing a suit he wore maybe only to one wedding or maybe two as he and Ren hated them..It would be so nice…

 

Shi scooped the other into a big hug, giving him a tight squeeze when he finally let both Annabelle and Kai go, holding little daddy in his hands. “I’ll see you later” Shi said as he held little daddy in front of his face, waving his little hand to say goodbye

[Sathenus]

Kaine thought that the ring Ash had picked out for Asahi looked absolutely beautiful, unable to stop thinking about how happy Asahi was going to be when his son proposed to him. Not to mention their family would be getting even bigger once he did. That alone was a very appealing thought, glad that Ash could be himself here and be with another guy. Someone who loves him wholeheartedly. He definitely saw that in Asahi, the pair were inseparable and made him think of him and Tenmo when they had found each other too. Of course, minus the whole not having to sneak around thing. He quickly followed Ash out of the jewelry store noticing how excited he was, seeing how Ash was struggling to text a little from his excitement and eagerness. "Why not call him instead? I'm sure he's waiting around to hear from you." He knew that his son was eager to propose now that he had the ring and he was sure that Asahi was eager to meet up with him again.

Kai clung tightly to Daddy as he was scooped up into a big hug, not really ready to go either. When he was finally let go he reluctantly let go of Little Daddy, waving goodbye to his favorite stuffie too. "Take care of Little Daddy!" Kai called to his Daddy as Alise lead them both over to where their teacher was waiting for them to take them to the classroom. Once the pair were safely inside she returned to Tenmo and the others, smiling at him and giving him a hug. "It'll get easier." She promised him, knowing that today would definitely be the hardest, but it would get much easier.

[virtualoo]

Ash held his phone in his hand, shaking slightly as he tried to catch his breath. He can do this..he can do this…He looked to Kaine for a confidence boost as he typed in the others number with shakey hands. “H-Hey Asashi..Are you still free for the Lunch..at the Ritz today?” He asked, glad his voice wasn’t trembling. Just try to focus on the other talking, it would be a great time for them both and he would look nice..Asahi would look nice..as he always does….

“Yeah, He will have lots of fun. Come on, let’s get you home” Otso smiled softly, Shi looking like he might burst into tears even if he didn’t want to admit it. “Let’s go be moopy puppy at home” He rubbed the others back, Shi holding little daddy in his arms. “You’ll watch him right Alise?” He asked Alise, worried Shi will mope around all day

 

[Sathenus]

Asahi picked up his phone with a very eager 'hey' when he saw that it was Ash calling. Having been looking forward to hearing from his boyfriend. A small amused smile appeared on his face when he heard the slight stutter that Ash had in the beginning, asking him if he was still free for lunch at the Ritz with him. "Of course I am, handsome. I'll meet you there around noon." Asahi replied, a smile on his face. "I'm really looking forward to lunch together." He added, eager to meet up with the other man for lunch. It wasn't very often that they weren't connected at the hip lately, but any time they spend apart made him all the more eager to meet up with him again.

"Don't worry, Otso. I'll keep an eye on him." Alise promised the younger wolf when he asked him in a rather worried way if she'd watch Shi. She already planned on it, not wanting Shi to mope around the house with Little Daddy. Though she definitely saw Kai in him when he did do that. It was important that she kept him busy so he couldn't focus so much on the fact that the twins weren't there. "I was actually thinking I could distract him a bit by getting a head start on our Christmas shopping. The earlier we start the better, won't have to worry about racing around at the last minute for anything." Alise admitted, figuring it would be a really good way to occupy her husband.

[virtualoo]

Ash was happy to hear the others voice sounding so happy on the other end. It took everything to not happy tail wag in the middle of the street. “Yeah..I’ll..Ill see you at the pack house in a bit” Ash quickly hung up the phone, finally taking a deep breathe. “It’s happening…okay..ok..I can do this…” He jittered around happily as he walked with the other back home. Time to get the suit on and go get Asahi..He wanted to look like all those handsome men in the movies..He wanted it to be the best thing ever!

“Great idea!” Otso smiled, seeing Shi looked like his old quiet reserved self, sad and petting little daddy’s head. He helped Shi up, holding Little Daddy close to him. “Go have fun” Otso smiled, pushing him over to Alise

[Sathenus]

"Great, I'll see you when you get here!" Asahi happily replied before hanging up the phone and heading upstairs to get ready to meet up with Ash. Excited for a nice lunch with his boyfriend, not that he wasn't excited to hang out with him any other time. He definitely preferred being with Ash versus spending time without him. Eager to get ready so that they could head out once Ash arrived. Kaine walked home with Ash, a smile on his face seeing how jittery Ash had become after his call with Asahi, smiling at his son. He left Ash to head upstairs and change and went to the living room to relax, it feeling a bit odd that both Ash and Ren would be out of the house for the day. Not used to it.

Alise smiled, hooking her arm with Shi's to keep him close after Otso had pushed him over to her. "Do you and Bryan have any plans for the day?" Alise asked Otso as they were making their way out of town and back towards the pack and coven's shared territory. Where all of their homes were located, at the rate things were going they were going to have a little village of their own the pack and coven house excluded. It was nice though, it seeming to become a tradition that once married a couple would receive a home of their own. While it had been a little while before they had gotten theirs considering when they had married and when the twins had been born they were happily in their own home. Bryan and Otso had gotten their own home not that long after, keeping the pack and coven busy building houses. She was curious what the other pair would be up to today, wondering if they had any plans.
