Aerith couldn't believe her ears when her sons' kindergarten teacher had told her the good news. Her antisocial little blonde angel had finally made a friend, though he was in the older grade. Tifa had explained that they could be bumped up a grade but they would have to wait until next year. Aerith wasn't too sure what would happen, but Tifa assured her she had at least a few days until the Senior Kindy teacher came back from her sick days.
Racing into the classroom, the brunette woman shouted her arrival, shocking the children and Miss Tifa. She excused herself, sheepishly when she watched as Roxas ran over to her, his chubby little legs wobbling a bit. "Mummy, I had fun at kindy today!" The blonde bubbled, waving his stuffed rabbit up at her, excitedly as he clutched onto one of her legs. Aerith's face broke out into a smile as she listened to her youngest babble about his new friend. Picking up her sensitive child, the brunette woman felt another little body crash into her legs. "Mummy! Can Wiku come over?" Sora questioned, his voice loud in excitement. "Yes, tell him he can come over with his Mummy later tonight." Aerith said, watching her brunette son wobble over towards his older silver haired friend. "Why don't you invite your new friend over too, Roxy?" The brunette woman murmured, placing her son on the floor. "Go on, it's alright." Aerith encouraged, chuckling as she watched her younger twin son nervously make his way over to the older redheaded boy.
"Roxy? Why are you still here?" Axel asked, peering curiously down at the younger blonde boy. Roxas blinked back tears, his social anxiety showing. "Bunny wants you to come over tonight." Roxas blurted out, thrusting the stuffed animal in front of his reddened cheeks. "Okay." Axel chirped, hugging the blonde tightly. Aerith widened her eyes as she took in the sight of her little boy accepting a hug from a friend he had just made today. She was so proud of her little rabbit. "Miss Tifa, I was just wondering, would you mind giving my details to Axel's parents? Roxas asked him to come over today and well, you know he doesn't have very many friends. Please persuade Axel's parents to entrusting their child to me for tonight." The brunette woman pleaded, asking the other brunette for a rare favour. Tifa mock sighed and nodded. "Only because we've been friends since kindergarten, Aerith." She responded, poking her tongue out at the other woman.
"Roxy, it's time to go." Aerith called, holding Sora's hand firmly in her own, her free hand waving to catch the small blonde's attention. For once in his short life, Roxas didn't run immediately to his mother choosing to chat to the redhead more. "See you later, Axey!" The blonde twittered, opening and closing his small hand in farewell. "Okay, Roxy." The redhead responded, mimicking the younger boy's hand movements. Aerith smiled at her little prince, he was finally growing up. Calling a goodbye to Tifa, the brunette picked up the small blonde and brunette, carrying both on each hip. It was a good thing they weren't heavy and they could carry their own back packs, otherwise Aerith would have been in trouble.
Strapping her twins into the car, Aerith couldn't stop smiling. "I told Miss Tifa to tell Axel's parents to call me so Axel can come over, Roxy. Isn't that good?" The brunette cooed as she buckled the blonde into his car seat. Roxas blushed and looked away from his mother, hiding his face once again in the soft white faux fur of his stuffed rabbit. "Roxy's got a friend, Roxy's got a friend!" Sora cheered as Aerith came to buckle the energetic child into the seat. "Shush! Shush, shush, you shush, Sora!" Roxas demanded, emphasising each word with a shake of the stuffed animal. "Sora, do I need to tell Riku's Mummy that he can't come over?" Aerith chastised as she shut the back door and climbed into the driver's seat, shutting her own door with a soft clunk. Sora shook his head vehemently. "Sorry, Roxy." The brunette apologised, flashing a wide grin at the younger blonde. The said blonde only turned away from his twin and glared out the window . Aerith sighed as she drove away from the kindergarten, noticing her child's antisocial behaviour. This was becoming a regular habit for her blonde little angel.
"Daddy!" Axel shrieked as he ran towards the opened door. The redhead was the last to go home as per usual, though he didn't seem to mind. "Axel, my little man! Set any fires today?" Reno joked, as he picked up his son. "Hey, Tifa." Reno called, casually. "It's Miss Tifa to you, Reno." The brunette called back, packing up Axel's backpack and toys. "Daddy, I made a friend and his name is Roxy!" Axel chirped, wriggling excitedly in his father's arms. "Oh really?" The older redhead questioned, leaning his forehead against the younger boy's. "You didn't bully them?" Reno asked, trying not to blink as he stared down his son. Axel stared back, his emerald green eyes widened in an attempt to keep them open. He giggled as his father finally blinked, losing yet another stare down. "Noooo. Roxy invited me to come play at his tonight." Axel said, wriggling even more in his father's arms. Reno quirked a brow at his son. "This kid sure knows how to work quick, huh? You're letting me down, Ax. I thought you were the go getter!" Reno joked, shaking his mini carbon copy playfully.
"Actually, Aerith, his mother, wanted Axel to come over." Tifa called, nonchalantly. Reno glanced at the teacher, a worried look crossing his face. "Should I be concerned?" He asked, rearranging his grip on his son. "No, Roxas is really antisocial and though he's been here since he was one with his brother, he hasn't made any connection to anyone but his mum. So she was a little excited." The woman responded, handing the older redhead his son's backpack and a small slip of paper. "Just go over and let Axel play with Roxas for a bit. Besides, I think you'll like Aerith." Tifa snorted, as she hurried the two redheads out of the classroom. "Okay, Tifa. But you owe me dinner." Reno said, cautiously eyeing the slip of paper. "Daddy! Ring Roxy already!" Axel said, shaking his father by the shoulders. "Wow, I can totally tell that he's your kid, Reno." Tifa muttered, losing all professionalism as she exited the child care. "Hey, what's that supposed to mean?"
