A/N: First up is Corrin and Forrest, where Forrest's preference of wearing feminine clothes rubs off on Kana.
"Mama! Papa!" A young boy exclaimed as he runs into his parents arms, "How'd your days go? Can we play? Ooo, what should we do first?" The boy inherited some of his physical attributes from his mother, Corrin, red pupils with narrow slits, pointed ears, and enhanced senses. Other than that, the only other similarities was his ability to transform into a dragon and wield Yato, it was on accident! The rest came from his father, Forrest, his gentle face, rather smooth skin, and distinct taste for the more feminine side of clothing. He was currently wearing a light-red blouse with a short frilly skirt of the same color, as well as a pink scarf around his neck. His hair is brushed down neatly, though it barely passes his ears. A butterfly pin in the colors of Nohr is on one side, while a red rose is on the other. He would have make-up, but his father was holding off on it. Just a little older, he told him. But to compensate, he does have his own perfume, a combination of roses and cherry blossoms.
"Calm down, Kana. We just got back." Corrin lifted her son into the air and spun around a few times. The Draconic Princess of Nohr was only slightly taller than her little sister, not by blood. While her son got his father's hair color, a sort of blonde, hers was a vibrant orange-red, kept in two short pigtails, she was currently wearing one of the many dresses her husband made her, this specific one was a rich purple, with the designs of both the Nohrian Royal family seal and the Dusk Dragon, though she still refused to wear shoes, a weird habit her son picked up almost immediately. A pink rose adorned her hair, one of her birthday presents from the love of her life, Forrest. She was also using the lavender perfume gifted to her.
"It is always a joy to see our son so happy." Forrest nodded, his hair done in curls, a pink beret on his head, wearing a simple, but adorable pink dress, a pair of black gloves that almost reaches his elbows, and high heels. He had the distinct smell of sage and oak he wasn't exactly fond of it at first, but after his wife convinced him to try it, he had grown to like it, besides it means she was even more attached to the hip to him than she already was. Kana goes from Corrin to Forrest, hugging him just as tightly. "Our day has went well, though I thought your mother to be trapped in the seemingly endless meetings." It was a jest, but since the war ended, with Nohr being the victor, Corrin had been assigned the diplomat between the two nations.
"Endless? Really?" Kana was still grasping the subtle clues in everyday chats, being the youngest from the Deeprealms, the next was Midori, a mere two months older. "Doesn't that get boring?"
Corrin laughed, a true melody to Forrest's ears, "Your father is just exaggerating, it's usually only a few hours long." Kana broke the hug and looked at them with wide eyes, waiting for whatever activity they had in store for him. "How about some food, first? I believe there is a new restaurant open!" Not even a year ago, Corrin would never suggested it, but since the war ended, Nohr had been getting a little more than its fair share of supplies from Hoshido. She doubted she can get the trades to get split 50/50, but she supposes it is balanced out, Hoshido gets a slightly larger share of Nohr's plentiful ore supply, while Nohr gets a larger share of food and good soil. And with the sun gracing Nohr, food was actually starting to being raised.
"Really? What kind? Will they have those fruit stuffed bread things?" Kana had developed a rather large sweet tooth, Corrin assumed it came from her blood-family's sister, Sakura, or maybe Elise influenced him… probably the latter, since Kana has a rather close bond with his Aunt Elise.
"Pastries, dear Kana." Forrest laughed, a sound Corrin never tires of, "Let's get washed first, okay? I have a new shampoo that I think you will just adore!" He pulled out his bag and handed his son a bottle of light-blue shampoo that had small green specks in it. "The shopkeeper told me it smells like the ocean, with a hint of mint."
"Oh, wow!" Kana took a single boat ride with his parents once, during his mother's rare times where she can travel, they took that time to visit Izama at Izumo, where the family treated themselves to the many services offered by the peaceful Duke. Massages, hair grooming, skin treatments, you could name any sort of relaxation technique and he probably not only had it, but also the best of the best for it, too. "You're the best father ever!" Another tight hug, "I'm going to try it right now!" He skipped off.
"He is truly a ball of sunshine, just like Elise." Corrin commented, "But I will admit, he hasn't had as much exposure to the public as I would like, and since he is so young, I hope he can take the troubles that you had to deal with."
Corrin squeaked as Forrest landed a sneaky kiss on her cheek, "I'm sure he'll handle it just fine, and if not, we'll support him, like we always do."
The two smile before sharing a longer, more intimate kiss. Then someone knocked on the door and breaks the moment. Corrin huffed, "It seems we never get a proper moment alone…"
"Siiiis!" Ah, Elise. "I know you're in there!" Corrin opened the door to see her little sister with her hands behind her back, "Yaaaay!" She beamed. "Where's my sweet nephew at?" She called out as she enters.
"Little sister… what is behind your back?" Corrin raised her eyebrow as Elise deftly, but suspiciously weaved her movements in such a way that her back is always hidden.
"Um… gold? Oh look, hi Forrest!" She attempts to change the subject.
He smiled, "It's always good to see you, Princess Elise."
She puffed her cheek out, "I told you, you don't need to add Princess or Lady to my name. We're family, just call me Elise." All three of them laugh, then Elise squeaked as Corrin sneaked behind her.
"I knew it." The draconic princess smiled, "Sweets. You only came over here to spoil Kana's appetite."
The youngest Nohrian princess gasped, "Not true! I also came to visit!"
"Speaking of appetites; my love, Kana, and I were thinking of trying the new restaurant, care to join us?"
Elise made an 'o' on her face, "There's a new restaurant? That sounds wonderful!" Unlike a large majority of Corrin's army, Elise was one of the few who remained unwed, which was probably the biggest reason she takes to spoiling all of her nieces and nephews. Toys, candies, playtime, she had done all of these things and more for the children. She was truly the favorite one to bring children to.
"Aunt Elise!" Kana exclaimed as he returns from his bath, he was now wearing his 'favorite' dress, it is a deep purple with black and dark red stripes. Several images are sewn into it, one was the Dusk Dragon, another was the Nohrian Royal family seal, and there was even a cherry blossom tree on the back.
"There's my favorite nephew. Looking as beautiful as always!" Elise exclaimed as Kana leapt towards her, and she wrapped on arm around him. "Ooo, you smell so good, did Forrest get you another scent to try out?" She took a deep breath of Kana's hair, causing him to laugh and squirm in her embrace. "Mmm… Let me guess, there is… mint?"
He nodded, "Father told me that the shopkeeper told him that it is 'Oceans and a hint of mint'."
"I see… or I smell, rather." She winked, "Now, I got a gift for you, you know what to do, right?" He smiled, closed his eyes, and held his hands out. Elise placed a small basket in them, before sneaking in a quick kiss on his cheek, causing him to turn slightly red and mutter something about embarrassing him. "Okay, open up."
He did so and lets out a gasp, then looked inside the basket, "Those… pastries?" He looked at Forrest, who nodded. "Awesome, thank you so much!" He was nearly about to reach in, before he remembered something, "I'll try one after my parents and I eat... I'll save it for desert."
Corrin sighed in relief, "Good, our little Kana is learning to hold off on eating every little sweet he comes across."
"And by ,'every little sweet he comes across', you mean all the ones Elise keeps giving him." Forrest smiled and laughed.
Elise giggled, "I can't help it! I just happen to come across a stall that sells them on the way here." She gasps as she remembers something, "Oh, right. Camilla got you… this." She finishes slowly as she pulls out a neatly wrapped box.
"Aunt Camilla always gets the prettiest things." Kana commented as he started to unwrap the box.
"...and usually the most lewd." Elise whispered to Corrin and Forrest.
"Is it really that…" Corrin was cut off as an intense wave of curiosity came off of her son.
Kana's head is tilted as he looks inside the box, "What is this, exactly?" He hadn't taken it out yet.
Elise's face flushes, "Well…" She started off slowly, "Let me just quote big sister Camilla and say 'It lifts and supports!'."
"I don't get it." Corrin's suspicions are confirmed as her son, in fact, pulls out a bra. Her and Forrest's face start to burn a brilliant red. "What is it?" He asked again.
"Why did she get him a bra?" Corrin whispers to Elise.
"Well, she asked how you all were doing, and I told them, and that Kana has grown… I think she took that the wrong way."
"Mama, papa?"
"We'll tell you later, darling." Forrest finally answers, "Just… put that in your room first, okay?" Still confused, Kana nevertheless obeys and returns just as quickly.
Then Elise's stomach grumbled, a short silence then the room bursted out in laughter, "I suppose it is time to eat, then?"
Kana gasped, "You're going to come with us?" A huge smile adorned his face.
"Of course!"
The trip through the castle was easy, if a bit long. Various servants and maids bowed and greeted the royals, while Jakob showed up just long enough to check on Corrin. Corrin didn't need to look to know Kaze was following her, which reminded her, she still needed to find two for Kana. Maybe Sophie? Midori was also a good choice. Nina and Soleil have pledged their devotion to Forrest, while Corrin had Kaze, she really didn't count Jakob, Flora, or Felicia, considering they are either her Maids or Butler, maybe she should see if Dwyer would.
Then they reached the outside and Corrin started to get nervous, she knew the stares people sent her and Forrest's way when they travel, even if they don't speak out since she was the Princess of Nohr. Sadly even being the son of one of the the most powerful mages, Forrest did not get the same treatment. She truly hoped they won't tease Kana. "He'll be fine, love." Forrest held her hand and gave it a squeeze.
Elise and Kana were currently talking about various perfumes, dresses, and other accessories that they had seen recently. "I know, but he is still the youngest."
The restaurant was a rather unique blend of Nohr and Hoshido. The tables and chairs were the tough, but simple wood and stone combination that Corrin's rear end had gotten so used to. The decorations, however, were Hoshidan, bright colors, small trees in little pots, and plenty of lights. "Princess Raven?" A waiter greeted them as they sit down, "Princess Elise. It is truly an honor for you and yours to be here. May I get you all a drink to start off with?"
Corrin and Forrest both opted for water, while Elise and Kana got apple juice. "A lot of this sounds super yummy." Elise commented. The waiter returned with their drinks and pulled out a small notepad, "I'll try that, spaghetti with meatballs and herbs." She proudly stated.
"I'll have the Dragon roll." Corrin said... how ironic.
Kana gave her a strange look, "The rice with mixed meats, please sir." He said.
"The steak and potatoes sounds delightful, I would like to try them." Forrest smiled. The waiter bowed graciously and left.
Then Kana spoke up, "Dragon Roll? There isn't actual dragon meat, is there?" He grimaced.
Elise giggled, "No, it is called that because it is hot and spicy, like dragon fire."
"But mama and I shoot water." He tilted his head.
"We are special dragons, my dear Kana." Corrin said. "Truly unique."
"Kana, darling, your butterfly pin is loose." Forrest said as he got up, "Your rose is also off center."
"Oh, whoops. I thought I did it right." He giggled, "Daddy, that tickles!"
"Then stop squirming so much, it'll just tickle more!" He made a few adjustments while giggling, "And, there, much better." He placed a quick kiss on his son's cheek.
The conversation shifted from clothes, to politics, which Kana unsurprisingly ignores, the current situation, and bringing Elise up to date with Corrin's family, which the youngest Nohrian princess returned the favor with how the others are doing. "Percy is forming this 'Hero League' with some of the other children, he says they will go around and help out Nohr." She commented at one point.
"Arthur may have a streak of bad luck, but he and his son are truly the most selfless people ever." Corrin said, "I do hope they are careful."
"Your meals, I hope you find them to exceed any expectations." The waiter started placing the plates and utensils in front of them, "Do you require anything else." A collect shake of heads and 'no thank you' followed. "Very well, enjoy."
The meal started in silence, with the only sound, other than eating, was commenting on how well it was prepared.
"Is he wearing a dress?" Corrin's hearing picked up a whisper from nearly halfway across the room and judging by Kana's scent, his hearing wasn't sharp enough yet to hear.
"Weirdo." Another commented.
"She is raising a fag?" Corrin's grip on her chopsticks tightened to the point of them cracking, as she tried to fight back some anger.
"Nah, her husband must have done that. I mean, look at them. Her husband and son look like they got bigger tits than her. You sure Corrin is the woman in that relationship?"
"Love? Are you okay?" Forrest asked as he placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Mama?" Kana tilted his head, "Why do you smell angry?" Ah, so he can pick up the scent of emotions, at least.
"Big Sis?" She looked the most concerned, considering she had known her for the longest time.
Corrin breathed, "I need a moment, excuse me." She backed out of the chair and towards the two men who had the audacity to call her lovely, beautiful, and sweet Kana a fag. The moment they noticed her approaching, their attitudes shifted to ones of respect. "Hello, gentlemen, how are you today?" She greeted with her usual diplomatic and caring tone, but a fake smile.
The two got up and kneeled, "We are well, Princess Corrin. To what do we owe the honor?"
Then her smile morphed into a frown as she got right down to business, "There is no honor in this meeting, stand." The two tensed up as they rose, "Do you have a problem with my sweet son and wonderful husband?"
They shook their heads, "No, of course not Princess Corrin."
"It isn't a good idea to lie to me." Her eyes narrowed.
One of the staggered back as if she struck him, "We were uh just… taken by surprise about how they are dressed, it wasn't anything negative, we are sorry if it came out like that."
"Strike two, speak plainly and honestly." Her temper was rising, her patience getting close to snapping, and her Dragonstone glowed in response to her anger.
But even with the wrath of a noble imminent, they continued to butter the lies, probably more out of fear, and in a fool's attempted to lessen the punishment. "Okay, we might have brought up that it is… off."
"Out." She pointed towards the exit, "And if I ever hear you call my son a fag again… you will see a side of me that I reserve for battles." The two backed up, "No, I don't want to hear your apologies. Leave." They ran out, nearly hitting several tables on the way.
With the offenders gone, she took a deep breath to calm herself, the Dragonstone lost its glow. Then she returned to the table, "Sorry about that." She said as she picked up a new set of chopsticks (The waiter must have noticed the splintered pair she left behind).
"Love?" Forrest gave her a knowing look. "Are you better, now?"
She nodded and smiled. "Mama? Why do you smell so… angry? Those two men weren't trying to hurt you, were they?"
"Like anything could hurt Big Sister." Elise tried to cut the tension, which worked slightly.
But there was still one more thing she had to say about all of this, "Kana, dear." They locked eyes, "My beautiful, wonderful, most precious child." His face heated up and he briefly looked away, muttering something about how she was embarrassing him. "I need you to promise mama one thing, okay?"
"Of course! Anything for you or papa." He smiled and looked at her again.
"No matter what people may say, know that you will always be a lovely person. Dress how you want, wear what you want, do what you feel comfortable doing. If other people don't like it, then ignore them. Can you promise me that?"
A large chunk of confusion came off of Kana, clearly unsure on what brought that on, "Yes, mama. I promise… it's a Kana-promise!" He smiled.
Corrin smiled, she was surrounded by the most wonderful people she had ever had the pleasure of knowing. A husband that she loved and was willing to spend the rest of her days with.
A son that took so much after his father, a son that she cherished just as much as her husband, a son that she would give even the most 'girly' of things if he wanted them.
Lastly, but not least, a supportive family, brothers and sisters that she loved, and who loved her and her little 'feminine' family.
Life was great.
