-Rudolph the Rednosed… Laxus-
"'What I am trying to say here is… Rudolph, will you guide my sleigh tonight?'" Mira read from one of the most famous Christmas stories around. "Santa asked and without a doubt the young reindeer replied, 'Yes, sir.' And so, Rudolph the Rednosed…"
"Daddy!" one of the two blonde boys sitting in front of the white beauty clapped.
"I'm not rednosed and my name's not Rudolph, kid," I chuckled, walking up to stand behind Mira in her presenting chair.
"Laxus…" Mira sighed as she tilted her head up to look at me.
I grabbed the book out of her hands and watched as she pouted from my actions. I announced, "Sorry kidos, it's gettin' late. Why don't you scurry and find your parents to go home?"
The second blonde boy yelped, "But I wanna hear the end of the stowry!"
The older twins agreed, "Yeah!"
"Alright, fine… Rudolph was sent to the front of the line of flying reindeer and helped guide Santa to deliver the toys to every boy and girl in the world. The end," I concluded. "Now scurry along."
"Okay," sighed the eldest Fullbuster. Soon, she lead the whole lot of brats out into the dining hall in search of their parents.
Mira whined, "Aw, but Laxus, we were getting to my favorite part. I was ready to sing the song and everything."
I said, "Master's orders, brats need to get out by seven. Unless you think having a bunch of kids at the guild while everyone is drunk and brawling is a good idea…"
Her face contorted into a frown that was more like a child's. It was no secret that Mira adored reading to the next generation. Every year during the Christmas season, since the twins were born, she had picked up a book to read to the youngest members of the guild. Wendy would hover around every once in a while to join Mira and every time the white haired maiden was over joyed with the extra attention.
"You can sing it to me, Mommy," our little boy suggested.
"Of course Mommy will sing to you," Mira swooned, lifting the toddler off the ground onto her lap.
"Alright, go home, I'll meet you soon…" I began though was cut off by my wife's pristine voice.
She sang: "Rudolph the Rednosed Laxus, had a very shiny nose, and if you ever saw him, you would even say he glows…"
The boy chimed, "Like a lacrima!"
Mira added, "All of the other wizards, used to laugh and call him weak. They never knew that Laxus would one day be the guild master."
Lucy's voice chirped in, "For one terrible war came, Master went away. But with the guild left Master-less, Laxus came to guide the way."
The Dragneel brat cheered, "Hooray!"
Levy sang, "Now all the wizards love him, as he led us to victory. Rudolph the Rednosed Laxus, you'll go down in history!"
"Alright! Enough! I am not a reindeer with a red nose, nor does it glow!" I argued, though the smirk in the corner of my mouth defied me.
"Aw, come on. Where's your spirit, Master?" Lucy asked.
"Ba-humbug," I replied making the twins giggle in the background.
