The twins moved in sync and gave their master a hug before moving over to their father and proceeding to do the same thing. "Oh boys..I have missed you two. How are you?" was the last sentence heard before Hadrian placed up a barrier to allow them some privacy.
Hadrian looked down towards his more prone to violence sub with a frown, "Katsuki.." he called out and waited for his sub to look up. When he did though you could see the worry and downtrodden look within his eyes. Hadrian sighed, "Oh..Katsuki.." he reached up and placed the palm of his hand on the Katuki's cheek, "I still have to punish you. This time and only for this time it's going to be fifteen spankings. I will use my hand but only this once. Next time the punishment will be worse." He warned his sub.
Katsuki nodded, "Yes my dom..should I count them?" he questioned softly dropping his pants and boxers before getting into position leaning over his dom's legs.
"You will count each and everyone. I don't want to hear another sound outside of the counts or we will restart your punishment." Hadrian warned the other. Katsuki nodded towards his dom in acceptance of his punishment, Hadrian had his hand raised in the air once the nod came in he let his hand drop and swing down.
SMACK!
Katsuki jumped, "One." He began his counting. It had been thirty minutes before the last smack came down, "F-f-fifteen.." he whimpered at the end and Hadrian moved gathering his sub into his lap to calm him and sooth his now burning rear with the soothing ointment he made before leaving home.
"There. There. You did a good job today by taking your punishment. It's all done. There's no more." Hadrian whispered towards Katsuki, he kept up his repeated mantra until Katsuki's sniffling stopped. "Good boy." Hadrian praised leaning forward his nipped at Katsuki's neck as a sign to show that everything was ok now.
Katsuki began to purr in acceptance and appreciation that he took his punishment correctly. He moved off of Hadrian's lap and pulled his pants and boxers back up. Moving over to the side table he noticed an assortment of finger sandwiches. Taking the plate he grabbed a few alongside a cup with some sort of juice in it. Walking over to his dom, "Some food, Ian?" he questioned.
"Huh?" Hadrian zoned back into his surroundings. Seeing Katsuki there with a plate of food being held out for him, his eyes widened, "Oh! Thank you Katsuki." He took the plate and held onto it while Katsuki went back to the table to build another plate for someone else. When he had returned it was with another plate put together for his fellow sub brother Hitoshi Shinso.
Having common courtesy trained into him because of Hadrian he waited to get the twins something to eat and drink and filled another plate for himself. Sitting down next to Hitoshi he grew worried when he saw his dom zone out again not eating the plate of food in front of him. "Hitoshi." Katsuki called out.
"Hmm..?" Hitoshi responded looking towards Katsuki. Katsuki just nodded into their doms direction to get him to see the problem. Hitoshi sighed standing up as he moved towards their dom, "Ian..?" he called out. However this time there wasn't a response, "Ian..?" he tried again. Reaching towards the finger sandwiches he went to grab one only for his hand to be snatched out of thin air by a pair of hands. He turned his head to the twins who were pale and shaking their heads in the negative.
Katsuki walked up to the group and scowled, "Why shouldn't we do that?" he questioned out. Instead of a verbal answer one of the twins handed him some parchment. "Because it could lead to bad consequences?" He read out. His scowled became fiercer, "What exactly do you two mean by that?" He asked them point blank.
Arthur walked up to the group of subs and his own twin sons who are Lord Potter's slaves. "You two are thinking about what happened to Ronald aren't you?" he asked.
His question caused the entire group to jump just slightly. The twins nodded and pointed towards their father but it was Hitoshi who questioned, "Who's Ronald?" He turned to look directly at the twins before asking another question, "Is he the brother you told us about?" The twins nodded towards Hitoshi's question.
"Told?" Arthur inputted. He glanced back towards the twins, "You two can talk to them normally?" seeing the masks having been put back into place he turned to the two subs, "They can talk to you two normally?" he posed the question.
Katsuki looked at the man dumbfounded, but Hitoshi answered him honestly, "Yes. They have the permissions needed to talk to us normally."
Katsuki gave a wide eyed look in understanding, he nodded towards the man, "They have to gain permission to talk to another person, ironically enough it was them who requested the masks." He told the man in understanding.
Arthur looked thoughtful, "I see." He muttered out. "So who falls into the automatic permissions being granted?" He asked next.
Hitoshi looked towards Katsuki for the answer, "If Ian deems it ok then they are added into a list of names followed by a drop of their blood on the collars that grant the automatic permission." Katsuki explained as best as he could.
Arthur nodded in understanding, "Ok. So I'll talk to Lord Potter at a later date about getting me, William, Charles and Ginerva added in. Little Ginny is exactly like the twins but she would rather not take their master they claimed away from them." He explained the reasoning for the small questions.
Katsuki and Hitoshi both smiled at each other before looking back to the man, "We will see what we can do, but we don't think Ian will mind including a select few of you to the listing." Hitoshi explained.
Katsuki nodded along with what Hitoshi said, "Can you explain why we can't bother Ian when he zones out like this?" He questioned the man.
"Oh!" Arthur's eyes widened, having forgotten what they were originally talking about. "Yes! Of Course! You see, Lord Potter doesn't ignore his surroundings. You see, I invited him over for one dinner so I could tell him that I approved of the relationship and the choice the twins had made. He zoned out then much the same as he is doing now. However my son Ronald stuck his foot in his mouth and tried to say something to Lord Potter about what he was doing with the twins was wrong. He went to reach for the young man's food only to have his throat caught and pressure applied." Arthur shivered.
"I have never seen the twins move so quickly before. They instantly got into a position that calmed Lord Potter after awhile." A new voice finished the story. Everyone turned to look at the new voice, another red head. This one bulk muscle was his upper torso, his bottom half was muscled out as well almost like he had been working out. The twins' eyes widened and both rushed forward to engulf their older brother in a hug. "Hahaha! George! Fred! I'm glad you both are doing well." He greeted boisterously.
"Well isn't this a surprise!" Arthur greeted happily, "Charlie! What are you doing in town? How's your dragons?" he fired off quickly.
"Hahaha!" Charlie laughed boisterously. "Hey pops! Honestly Pops you should know by now that the dragon's can take care of themselves. I'm just there to clean up after them and make sure they are healthy."
"Ahahaha! That's right! You did say something like that!" Arthur agreed with his son. "But that still doesn't answer my question, son. What are you doing here?" He asked again.
Charlie chuckled a bit off key, "Hehehe well.." he began.
"Charlie?" Arthur questioned again with a slight demand to his voice.
"Would you believe me if I told you a little birdie told me?" He asked in a small unsure voice.
"Birdie?" Arthur questioned, confused, "Now I only know because I saw them outside the barrier. So who would tell you?"
"Charles?" Hadrian questioned softly.
"Hey Little Bird. I hear you guys need a ride to school." Charlie's face softened with a small smile.
Hadrian smiled genuinely with a small smile, "Yeah..something or someone blocked the barrier so we couldn't get through. Did godfather send you with a portkey?" He questioned standing up.
Charlie whistled, "You've grown some. Seems that time with the dwarves did you some good, Yo-'' Hadrian scowled at the man. "Right. Right. I forgot. I'm Sorry." He told the growing young man in earnest. "However to answer your question, yes he did give me a portkey for you all to get to school." He handed over a small rope, "Alright everyone grab ahold." He instructed. When everyone in Hadrian's party grabbed the rope he spoke once more. "Have a great time at school everyone, and if you ever need my assistance in anything you know how to reach me, Your Majesty."
