Darn it! Why do I keep falling asleep when we see our parents?! I didn’t have real parents in my last life and every time I see these parents I get tired and sleepy, curse this baby body. I can’t do anything but lie here all day and night. This is enough to drive a guy insane!...

Alright.. Just calm down Yukine... I am sure that when we are older we will get to see them more… right?

“Fu?”

“Huh?” He said with a sleepy voice.

“Did I wake you up again?”

“ya...” he said in a pouting tone.

“Sorry, I just wanted you to see something.”

“What?”

“Well… are we in a new room now?”

“.. Whoa, you are right, where are we?” We both try to look around. 

Another problem with baby bodies is that we barely have necks.

“Oh hey, we are in the same cradle, there is just a net thing in between us.” I noticed

He looked at me. “Ya, you are right. Oh hey, we can see each other’s eyes now. What color are mine?”

“... Blue..a-”

“Oh! Yours are blue and-”

“And green?”

“Ya, how did you know?”

“It is the same for yours. I think your right one is green and your left one is blue.”

“Wait, mine are the same? Oh.” He looked amazed. “That is so cool, I guess that's what mama meant when she said we had both of their eyes.”

“I guess so.” I thought for a moment

“Hey Ne.”

“Ya?”

“Is that a bed over there?”

“Where?” I looked over towards the right foot of our bed and saw a large bed with red sheets and a rose design on it. “Looks like it, and I think I see a desk over there too.”

“Do you think we are in Mama and Papa’s room or something.”

“That makes sense, some people have their newborns in their room for the first few weeks.”

“Ya but isn’t it a little late? I mean we are almost a month old.”

“Hmm..” 

Why did they suddenly move us into their room? Now that I look closer, I think this is the room we were in when we fell asleep, and I think it is also Papa’s office he was holding me in. Does this mean we are gonna see Papa more?

“I hear someone coming, let’s pretend to sleep.”

“Okay.” although I don’t feel a reason too, but I do it anyway, I wanted to just listen.

Somebody comes in quietly. I think it is mama or papa, they are the only ones that try to be quiet around us. I can feel them getting closer.

“Well, what have we here? Twins?” A man said softly in a curious tone. He doesn't seem bad, he said it softly and was quiet.

Another person entered the room.

“You aren’t supposed to be in here Jedidiah.” Papa?

“Oh come now, they are asleep.”

“Exactly, don’t wake them up. You aren’t even supposed to be here brother.” What? Brother? Why does Papa sound so serious? I am curious…

I open my eyes and look at Papa’s brother. Oh? They look only a little different, are they twins too? Do twins just run in the family? God was like, “oh, no there can’t just be one child.” This is weird, why are there so many twins in this world. Although Papa looks a little bit older, maybe they aren’t twins.

“Oh he is awake.” He looked over at me.

“I thought you were pretending to sleep Ne!” Fu scolded me.

“I was just curious.. Apparently he is our uncle, I wanted to know what he looks like.”

“Well I am going to pretend to still be asleep.” What a baby, he probably thinks I ruined his fun.

“Jedidiah, step away from them.” Why is Papa getting so angry?

“Tsk.” great now he is angry too- w-what is he- wah! He picked me up!

“Put him down Jedidiah!” Papa got louder, that hurt my ears, but I am getting used to this, nobody really tried to be quiet around us anymore.

“Oh brother, he is my nephew, why can’t I hold him?”

“You know very well why you can’t.” Why can’t he? I am curious, but for some reason, I feel like I don’t wanna find out.

He held me close to his chest while wrapping me in my blanket. He kinda smells like Papa.

“Jedidiah..” Papa sighed “What do you want.”

I look at Papa and then Uncle. He looks like he has been waiting for him to ask that.

“Well for starters, I just want to hold my nephew.”

Papa looked defeated. “Fine.” 

I am so confused and also curious. I look into Uncle’s eyes, I feel that he has the ability to kill me whenever he wants to, but not the willingness too, or not right now at least. He looks kind of sad though.

“Ahaah.” I let out a laugh and waved my arms to him to try to cheer him up, everybody loves babies right? He looked a little confused at first.

“Ahahaha.” He laughed. “He is funny.” He smiled. Well at least he isn’t sad anymore.

He startled me by laughing, I didn't expect that, I guess that's how he felt too with me laughing.

Papa looked relieved. “Now are you done yet? Let's go and talk, let them rest."

Uncle smiled at me. “Sure brother. Have it your way.” He walked over to the crib. He set me down and covered me with my blanket. 

He seems somewhat warmer now, he was colder before. “So this one is Yukine, huh? Interesting.” He then looked over to Fu. “and.... Fuyuki?” He looked serious for a moment and then smiled and looked over at papa. “Reusing names are we?”

Papa looked kinda nervous and sad at the same time. 

"Our names are reused?" I thought to Fu

“Let’s not talk about that.” Papa said while looking down slightly, looks like he feels guilty for something, but what?

Uncle looked back at me, and I looked back at him. His eyes are the same as Papa’s. He looks just like Papa, but Uncle has a small scar on his cheek, it is barely noticeable. 

He reached over and rubbed my head gently, then turned and walked towards Papa. “Alright, let’s go talk brother.” He smirked.

Papa still looked defeated but relieved. Papa led him out the door. Before Uncle left the room, he turned to look at us. He looks kind of sad. He turned away and left with Papa.

“What was that all about.” Fu said and opened his eyes.

“I think he was sad when he was holding me, but I don’t know why."

“So you laughed at him?"

“Did you see his face when he left? He looked kind of sad still.” I am concerned.

“No, I was pretending to sleep. Pretty well I might add.” 

He praised himself. He can act like such a child sometimes, although right now in this life, that isn’t a bad thing.

“Well done, number one actor, and the Oscar goes to..” I said sarcastically.

We both shared a laugh. Maids came in to feed us soon after Papa and Uncle left. Papa probably told them to.

They fed us and burped us and then set us back down in our crib. It is interesting that they didn't take us back to our room, are we supposed to sleep here tonight?

The maids left the room. Which reminds me, why are they all just leaving us alone, couldn't someone sneak in here and hurt us? Where are our guards?

"Hey Fu, do you notice something wrong?"

"Huh? What? What's wrong?"

"There aren't any guards in here." are they really that confident

Looks around. "You're right, I hadn't noticed, I wonder why that is."

"Now that I think about it, there weren't any guards in our room before either, just that one that would come in whenever we would cry."

"Oh ya him, I wonder what his deal is."

"Ya, he seems mad all of the time, or at least a little too serious. One time tried to laugh to him, and he looked unfazed. Who is just serious when a baby is laughing? What's up with that?" I could tell he was a little frustrated by that.

"It's fine, I guess some people might not like us because we are royals. I mean our father IS the King after all."

"Oh ya.." He forgot.

"Fu.. How could you forget something like that? Signs of this fact are everywhere. Including what you are wearing, it is made with the softest fabric I have ever felt, and that is just for a baby too." I got a little upset that I was the only one noticing these facts.

"Well you can't blame me for forgetting, I am more active. It sucks laying around all day not being able to do anything.” 

I don’t blame, in fact I can’t. I am just bored out of my mind just laying here. I’d give anything to be able to read a book in this world, in a world with so many things we don’t understand, we might as well know as much as infants about this world. It is so mysterious.

“I don’t blame you, I am just bored and also tired of lying around. If it were just you or just me that came to this world, then we wouldn’t have anyone to talk to, we would be even border.”

“Ya, thank whatever god that brought us here for bringing us with each other.”

"I agree."
