The Little Drummer Boy

Come they told me pa rum pum pum pum

A newborn king to se pa rum pum pum pum

Our finest gifts we bring pa rum pum pum pum

To lay before the king pa rum pum pum pum

Kaname was nervous as he sat there in the waiting room twiddling with a small plastic drum in his hand. It was to be a gift for his new mate. Only, he had no idea who that was yet, but seeing as he was only five, this was the best thing that came to mind as a present. After all, he liked it well enough. The fact that it was a Christmas tree ornament didn't deter him in the least.

Kaname's brother and sister Rido and Yuki sat next to him and put their hands on his shoulders to show their support for him. He smiled at their kindness. Why was the young pureblood so nervous? Well that was simple. His mate was just about to be born.

Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum

So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum

When we come

Chocolate eyes trained on the doorway to the bedroom that held Shizuka Kiryuu who was heavy with child. Very faintly, Kaname could hear her soft cries of pain as the labor process must have begun. The small pureblood found himself looking down and the drum in his hands. A thought crossed his mind that hadn't before. What if his mate didn't like his gift?

The thought made Kaname's heart clench. He really wanted his mate to accept him, whoever he/she may be. He held on to the small toy tightly and prayed that Shizuka give birth to a healthy baby. Rido and Yuki sensed their brother's distress and hugged him tightly also praying that their parents' good friend do fine in her childbirth and bring Kaname his future beloved.

Their breaths caught in their throats when the doors opened to reveal their mother Juuri Kuran. She had a bright smile on her face as she rushed out to get them.

"My children come quickly! Shizuka has given birth to her second boy!" she said excitedly and hurried them to follow her into the room. (A/N Yeah I made Ichiru the older one just for this. I also made him be born before Zero so he's like a year older lol.)

Yuki and Rido hurried along after their mother both anxious to see the new baby, but Kaname came slowly as he felt his nerves come back again.

Baby Jesus, pa rum pum pum pum

I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum

I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum

That's fit to give our King, pa rum pum pum pum

Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum

Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum

On my drum

Kaname entered to see his family crowded around the bed that held his future. He could see Shizuka holding a small bundle in her arms and a tired but blissful smile adorn her lips as she looked down upon it. Haruka noticed his son's apprehension and ushered him over.

"Com my son, you must meet your new mate," he said softly and Kaname came over to the bedside in a few quick steps. His grip on the small drum ornament tightened as he prepared to see his future and be ultimately judged by a being no bigger than his head.

"Kaname please come closer," Shizuka said softly and saw the boy come right next to her. She then moved away some of the cloth to reveal a beautiful baby boy.

Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum

The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum

I played my drum for him, pa rum pum pum pum

I played my best for him, pa rum pum pum pum

Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum

Kaname took in a deep breath as he gazed upon the heavenly beauty that was his mate. His hand reached out to stroke the soft cheek there, and as soon as the two skins touched the pureblood could feel an immediate connection. He smiled softly at the small baby who was already becoming his whole world.

Shizuka smiled fondly at the scene and shifted her newborn in her arms.

"Would you like to hold him?" she asked and saw the young vampire nod eagerly. She gently handed over the little bundle to Kaname who held it like it was life itself. "His name is Zero." She said and saw a wide grin spread across the five year old's face.

"Zero," Kaname tried the name on his tongue and loved every moment of it. 'Zero' was his new favorite number and word. He looked towards Shizuka with determination and gratefulness shining deep in his chocolate brown eyes. "Thank you so much Shizuka-san. I promise that I will love him like no other and protect him with my own life. I promise." He said and stressed the last word to prove his point. The elegant woman smiled peacefully and nodded her head.

"That is all I could ever ask for. Thank you Kaname-kun," she spoke and leaned back to fully rest as she continued to observe to two's interaction.

Haruka and Juuri smiled fondly at the scene. They were proud of their son and so happy that he had found his special soul mate. Yuki and Rido also exchanged joyful glances. They had never seen their brother so happy before.

Kaname traced his fingers along the small baby's jaw line and sometimes went up to stroke the fine silver hair that he knew was going to be absolutely gorgeous when it all grew out. It was then that the pureblood remembered his gift, and he brought it up to tuck it into one of the creases that the cloth wrapped around Zero made.

"Zero, this is my present to you and I hope that you not only accept it as a sign of my promise to love you forever, but also to accept me as the one who will always want to make you smile," he said softly and waited for a reaction, but nothing happened. Figuring nothing was going to happen at the moment, Kaname was just content with holding his mate close to him and feeling the little one's warmth against him.

But then, they all heard a small noise.

Kaname looked down at the baby in his arms and his breath hitched when he came face to face with the first openings of the most beautiful lilac irises ever to be seen on earth. The wide orbs blinked and looked around a bit before settling on the pureblood's own chocolate orbs. The two seemed to stare at each other forever, lost in each other's gaze.

One was thinking that the other's eyes were the most beautiful thing they had ever seen while the other was curious and wanting to know more about the being hovering over him. Then, something drew the little one's attention away. Zero saw the little drum that had been placed next to him in the blanket. He didn't have a clue what it was but he liked it immediately and somehow knew that the person above him had given it to him. So he looked back into the chocolate colored eyes that held his innocent gaze and began to stretch his mouth up into a wide and joyful…smile.

Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum

Me and my drum

Me and my drum

Me and my drum

Me and my drum…

Kaname smiled back.
