Lumi smiled as he bounced in his seat at the dinner table, Kota sat beside him in his high chair staring at his elder brother who was drawing a picture of his family
"Look Ko-ku! It's Oma!" He laughed out making Kota's eyes widen at the sound of Lumi calling his name
"It's me Paopa, Oma an you!" The two year old giggled out
"Da!" Kota responded back, a wide smile and shinning eyes directed at his sibling
Lance was sitting across from the two a smile plastered to his face, his two sons looked at him making him smile brighter
"Paopa!"
"Hm?"
"You know! Imochon say today Oma happy day! Day where Oma is born an can wuv Wu, Paopa and Ko-ku!"
"Really? What're you going to do for your Eomma's birthday?"
"I not sure yet...but Wu wanta get Oma something he rewwy wants!" He muttered out thoughtfully
Lance gave a soft sigh and pat his sons head, today Keith was with Krolia for his birthday, leaving Lance at home with his sons, Lumi who turned two not too long ago and Kota who's 8months old
"Dao da!"
Lumi smiled as he looked at Kota who squealed when he caught his brothers attention, Lumi giggled and grabbed onto Lances shirt to make him turn his head to look at the eldest child
"Ko-ku is so Kyu! I Wab Ko-Ku!" Lumi giggled out happily as he looked at the baby who squealed again and continuously hit his hands on the chair clearly over excited and happy at his brothers words
"Ko-ku! Wanta hewp Wu make prestent for Oma?"
"Da?"
Lumi got down from his chair and waited for Lance to pick up Kota and put him down as well too, the baby crawled his way to Lumi as Lumi sat on the floor, a purple crayon in hand as he looked at his paper not knowing what to draw
"Ko-Ku...wub Oma...Paopa wub oma....Wumi wub oma...so oma wubs us..." he muttered out quietly
"Wight Ko-ku? You wub Oma wight?"
"Abba?" he responded back obviously not comprehending his brother
"Hm..Wu tink Ko-Ku does" he said thoughtfully as he pet his younger siblings head affectionately, he put his pencil to his mouth in thought while his siblings stared at him quietly, not uttering a single word, Kota watched as his brother got back to drawing, he crawled closer and picked at the paper, he grabbed it and stuffed some of it in his mouth making Lumi flinch
"Ko-Ku! No no! No eat it!"
Kota sniffled at being yelled at, he was about to cry when Lumi sighed "it's okay Ko-ku, Wu Sorry...Just don't touch it any mo okay?"
The baby stopped his sniffling and quieted down, he looked at Lumi and smiled a bit as if understanding, the rest of the time consisted of Lumi wracking his brain on what to draw for his Mother, when a very bright idea came to his mind, he told his baby brother to stay as he ran and grabbed some purple paint, he had Lance help him pour some on a paper plate and took it back to his little brother who was patiently waiting for his older sibling
Lumi smiled as he sat back down with the paint, he put his hand on the paint and when his finger was lathered with purple gooey paint he used it to create figures against the card stock paper, he saw Kota excitedly watching him and smiled
"Ko-ku wanta try?"
Lumi used his clean hand and grabbed his little brothers dainty paws, he looked at Lance for approval which Lance nodded at, saying he'll just wash Their hands later, Lumi smiled at Kota as he put paint on the babies finger too
"Okay now Ko-Ku make shape on da paper!"
Kota obeyed copying Lumis actions from earlier he squeaked when Lumi started to Praise him, Lumi created broken circles and hummed to himself as his drawings started to look like people
Once's he was done he looked at Kota who was starting to drift off, he could feel himself nodding off too but quickly tried to dispel it but ended up yawning instead
"Welp time for your guys' afternoon nap!" Lance said cheerfully, he picked up Kota who immediately took his place on Lances right shoulder and also picked up Lumi who whined a bit
"Paopa, Wu wanta stay awake for Oma, can't he?"
Lance merely chuckled and started humming a lullaby as he made his way to the babies shared bed room he watched as the two children fell asleep soundly, he smiled and laid them down, he left the room after turning off the lights leaving the babies to their sleep
__
Lumi woke up to the feeling of a hand slapping his face, he smiled when he slowly opened his eyes seeing Kotas bright smile mirroring his, the younger babies altean marks glowing a bright purple as the hall light made the babies freckles shine on his skin
"Ko-ku" he said happily, he sat up and started petting Kotas Head, making the both of them giggle happily together, he looked around their room seeing Lance and Keith's bed beside their crib, but no Lance and Keith, he struggled but managed to flip the hook on the side of the crib and allowed it to fall down so they could get out
He got down first and pulled his Giant teddy bear from the corner so Kota had something soft to land on, said baby squealed happily When his tiny bottom touched the soft fabric, Lumi smiled and started walking to the door, Kota crawling close behind, Lumi realized the sudden downpour from outside and figured out what it meant, just as Lumis eyes widened a loud thundering boom sounded around the house making Lumi flinch, he was about to cry when he noticed his little brother in the same state
He wiped away his tears and held onto Kota comfortingly
"It's okay Ko-Ku! Yo Hyu is here wit you"
Just as it seemed as if Kota calmed down another louder boom sounded out through the house making the lights flicker and then turn off. That was it, that scared the two to the bone, Lumi sniffled his cat like ears perked trying to hear anything in the house while Kota started whimpering
Until finally Kota couldn't hold it, he started to cry, Lumi saw his little brother crying profoundly and started to panic
"Ko-ku hurts?" Lumi asked softly, Kota kept crying in the seemingly empty upstairs making Lumi start to loose hope, he felt tears start to pour in the beginnings of pity crying
"O-Oma.." he whimpered out in hopes his mother would hear him, Kota stopped crying for a second when he felt his brother hiccuping beside him trying to contain his crying, Kota sniffled as he touched Lumis face softly making Lumi look down at him
"Dao?"
"Sorry Ko-ku, Wu is Ko-Ku's Hyu but Wu is crying..Wumi's Sorry for crying" he sniffled out apologetically
Kota looked confused, he wiped away Lumis tears as Lumi had done for him many times before
"Da? Dao? H-hao...h-hyu?"
"Ko-ku? You say Hyu?"
"Hyu!"
Lumi smiled at Kota and pulled him close, just as he did so the lights turned back on
"Hey hey hey, what're you two doing up?
Lumi turned around and sniffled when he saw Lance standing at the upstairs doorway, Lance sighed softly as he walked closer to the two who were beyond relieved to see their fathers face
"Lance what happened?"
Lumi whined at the sound of Keith's voice, whimpering a soft 'Oma' again, Lance picked up Kota who seemed to sigh in contempt at being in his fathers arms, Lumi walked over to Keith and grabbed onto his pants leg
"Lu?"
"Wumi cried.."
"Oh?"
"Sorry...Wu was aupposed ta be protecting Ko-Ku but Wumi cried cause Wu got scared.."
Keith smiled as he picked up his son, he kissed his temple making Lumi smile a bit as well
"It's okay to be afraid sometimes Lumi, just cause you're a Hyung doesn't mean you won't be afraid of stuff anymore..you did a good job keeping your brother safe during the blackout"
Kota babbled in relation to their mother's words making Keith laugh at him too
"Your Hyung was cool wasn't he Kota?"
"Hyu!" He giggled out
Lance froze and looked at Keith who seemed equally surprised
"Did he just?"
"I guess he did!" Keith laughed out
"That's not fair! Lumi said Oma first and now Kota says Hyu? That's it we're going to make another one and I'll be damned if they don't say papa!"
Keith merely chuckled at Lances declaration, his eyes widened when he remembered something and took out a white sheet of paper
"Hey Lumi? Your Papa showed this to me earlier what is it?"
"Oh! That's Oma, paopa Wumi and Ko-ku! See?"
Keith looked at the picture and gave a tiny snort of laughter when he saw the one Lumi called Papa, he looked at Lumis giggling face and smiled
"You know Oma? Ko-Ku hewp Wumi dwaw, he made Wu and Ko-ku's Head!"
"Really?, well I love it, thank you Lumi" he laughed out making Lumi giggle again, Keith looked at Kota who was excitedly waiting for his praise
"And Thank you too Kota!"
Kota giggled as well his tiny tail waving from side to side from the positive words
"Oma?"
"Hm?"
"Tank ou fo wubbing Ko-ku Paopa and Wumi!"
"Oh? Of course I do! You guys mean the world to me"
"And Oma means wowld to Wumi too! Oh! And paopa, and Ko-ku!"
Lance and Keith smiled at Lumis words, while Kota merely watched his family talk
"Oma?"
"Yes?"
"Happy birf'day!"
Keith smiled "thank you!"
