krystalkatzficzKazu and Jun sat on the floor carefully tying ribbons around the small parcels. Their hands were already starting to ache from the effort of it all but slowly and surely the gift parcels were all starting to take shape and Kazu thought that the staff were going to enjoy opening them on the day of the party. He wanted nothing more than to prepare gifts for his husband and his new family but he wasn’t sure what they would like to receive. They already seemed to have everything and more than they could possibly want or need so it was a little daunting. A happy giggle reached his ears and he looked over the room towards his brother and Sakurai who appeared to be in their own little world not caring about the looks that they were getting from the rest of the occupants. It was clear that no matter what Masaki gave to Sakurai the man would worship it. He was almost sure that Jun would enjoy whatever he gave but it would be polite enjoyment and in his heart he wanted something that would make him smile.
“Masaki…Are you still wanting to travel into the town tomorrow?” Aurora asked softly drawing everyone’s attention to her “The footmen have managed to dig out the far road, at least enough for the horsed to pull a sleigh carriage…”
“A sleigh…?” Masaki asked with a bubble of excitement that was matched by his confusion, a confusion that Kazu shared.
“Yes…Instead of wheels there are metal railings…I do not understand it myself but it works well over the snow…My husband brought the idea back when he was young…” The queen nodded with a smile gesturing with her hand to her husband who, until that point, had been working carefully on smoothing out paper over the little boxes.
“They were useful in a country that has far more snow than we do…And for longer periods…” Ohno hummed gently barely looking up from his task “Without them I doubt very much we would have made it through...”
“So I can ride the sleigh carriage?” Masaki asked bouncing up and down like an over excited child and Kazu smile wishing that he could also travel by the sleigh carriage. Jun reached over and took his hand squeezing lightly at his fingers asking quietly;
“Would you also like to travel in the sleigh carriage tomorrow?”
“I…Um…I would not want to intrude…” Kazu answered his cheeks burning brightly not wanting anyone to think that he was just imposing himself onto the trip. He was surprised that Jun had been able to read him so easily though and he had no idea why it made him so happy that he had. “I doubt that there would be space for me…”
“Nonsense we have two of them…” Ohno declared brightly finally looking up from his parcels to give him a bright and cheerful smile, the kind of smile that his son gave which filled him completely with happiness. He had been enjoying the smiles from the king a lot over the last few days as they exercised their birds “Of course there will be space for you…We can make a day of it…”
“You will also go father?” Jun asked in surprise while Ethan and Jonah both joking muttered that Ohno’s favouritism for his youngest son was being extended to his son-in-law. There was no malice in either of their faces but Kazu still felt awkward and he was glad that Jun’s hand was holding on to his tightly.
“Of course…I think the palace will survive for one day without me being in it…Besides we have all been looking at these little parcels for so long that we shall be wrapping them even in our sleep…I also have a few gifts that I could do with fetching…” The king seemed as excited as Masaki about it all and Kazu managed to smile along with him though he couldn’t deny that he was nervous about it all.

The next day Masaki woke with an overflowing of excitement inside of him and he was glad that it seemed that they were fortunate. There had been no new snow over the night and a weak sun was shining brightly down onto the world. He and Sakurai ate a quiet breakfast in their bedroom before heading down to the parlour that the royal family seemed to use most often. Almost everyone was inside, only Esme was missing.
“My wife apologises for her absence but our little daughter decided to keep her awake all night and is too tired to join us today…” Ethan smiled looking tired himself as he pulled out a small parchment “She has given me a list of the goods that she requires so please remind me…My darling will be grumpy with me should I forget anything and I suspect that most of my clothing will find their way into the garden…”
“You and your wife will cause many scandals when you are king, my son…” Ohno chuckled warmly placing his hand on his shoulder and giving it a gentle squeeze. “I am almost sorry that I will miss them…”
“Then, my honoured father we shall do our best to give you as much entertainment as possible before then…” Ethan grinned happily bowing with a flourish fit for the stage. Most of the occupants laughed lightly but the queen rolled her eyes delicately placing her hands on her hips and tapping one foot over the floor.
“You may wish to make a fool of yourself my son, but I beg you to wait until I am safely in my tomb…I am, after all a respectable woman…”
“…Mother…That is not far! I will be allowed no fun then as you will outlive us all!” Ethan whined flashing the woman a look that Hercules often pulled when he thought that he was going to be shouted out. It worked less on the queen then it did Masaki as the woman just gave a scoff.
“Of course…Now we must go…Masaki, Sho…You will be joining Kazuko and Ethan in our sleigh carriage while Jun, Kazunari, Jonah and Catherine will travel with your father…” She said with determination wrapping a muff around her neck.
“You are driving the sleigh carriage, mother?” Ethan asked in a nervous but overly sweet tone causing Aurora to shoot him another glare asking;
“Yes, do you have a problem with that my son?”
“N-no…No…Of course not…But…We have carriage drivers…Surely one of those…”
“Nonsense! I am a very competent horse woman…And carriage drivers always seem to go too slowly!” Aurora said marching out of the room with a swishing of her clothes and Masaki bit his lip nervously when he saw the eldest prince send a silent prayer to the ceiling. Ethan caught his eye and managed to give him an even weaker smile than before whispering softly in his ear;
“Mother is a fine horsewoman as she says, but…She enjoys speed…Prepare to hold onto the breakfast that you may have eaten…”
“Please do not fill Masaki’s head with fear, son…Your mother is capable…” Ohno hummed with a laugh ushering Jun and Kazu out of the room with Catherine and Jonah following obediently behind. Masaki grabbed a tight hold of Sakurai’s hand and walked outside feeling slightly more nervous than excited now.

A/N: I hope that this is okay and not too boring I’m just trying to work on the family ties that will support Nino and Masaki now…>.<
