❝ Are you coming to the graduation at all? Ms Rokujuo says she never got your RSVP ❞↷ˊ-

The morning was still, silent as always in the old house. As Marble brought the twins into the kitchen, lightly kicking aside an empty alcohol bottle that had been fully nursed.

"Okay everyone, today... Let's see what we have." Rubbing his hands together as he proceeded to rummage through what they had. In thought to himself as he took out some fruit, bread, butter and eggs.

Looking at what he set out, a twinge of shame rushed over him. They were growing cubs.. They needed more then this, more then what he could fix up for them.

Stuck in his train of thought, he didn't hear Tigre and Hazel walk in. Only brought back when Tigre pulled at his shirt hem. When he turned his attention to them, his eyes grew wide as he seen what they held out.

The invitation to his graduation that was happening that day, the very one he had purposely hidden. The two watched his expression fall, ears lowering back as his body stiffened.

"Isn't this today?" Hazel asked as a small finger pointed to a set of numbers that correlated with the date.

"Yeah-- but I have you lot to take care of." He managed to say, as he took the paper and set it aside. Even if he could see their faces drop. Sure they didn't know what a graduation was, but the two both felt it important.

"Yeah but auntie Kimura could watch us." Tigre spoke up as he got out plates and cutlery, not wanting to put it to rest.

The woman Tigre meant was their neighbor, a kind middle aged woman who regularly watched them if Marble had work. Despite not baring any children that he knew of, she adored kids.

"Miss Kimura can't always watch you lot and I can't rely on her all the time." Marble retorted in a matter-of-fact tone. Watching them both frown, as Hazel fidgeted with her hands.

"But... It's a special day for you and your friends.." She mumbled with quivering lips. Of course they didn't completely understand. He didn't RSVP any seats, even if he wanted to go and bring them.. He already told his teacher he couldn't attend. There was no changing any of that.

As he finished up making french toast for everyone and smoothies before he walked off. The invitation clutched between his fingers.

His mind muddled with many thoughts as he sat on the back steps. He uncrumpled the paper, eyes wary and heavy with a need for sleep he couldn't help it. He felt stuck. Unsure of what to do, torn between two decisions.

Staring at his phone, he was pulled from his thoughts when his phone rang...

He let out a sigh, before answering it as Hazel came out to him. She sat herself beside him and curled up to him.

"Kanami- I thought you and everyone else was prepping tor the graduation ceremony later?" He asked, as he wrapped an arm around his sister.

"Yeah we are, but uh... Are you coming to the graduation at all? Ms Rokujuo says she never got your RSVP-" her voice over the phone filled with worry that made Marbles ears drop.

"I had yeah, that's weird maybe my email didn't send? I don't know.. But there's no time now."

Kanami was silent for a moment, before her voice perked up. "How manys coming? Four? I'll have the others set out the extra chairs!"

Before Marble could get another word out, he realed away from his phone as she shouted something he couldn't quite catch.

"Gah- Kanami! I'm not invisible here-" he sighed, his sister looked at him with curious eyes, ones full of hope.

"Thanks- we'll maybe be there in an hour or so."

"No problem, and oh!- Be sure you have your hero costume, Ms Rokujuo wants us to wear them for our graduation." Kanami reminded before their call ended.

When it was over Marble sighed as he looked at Hazel. "Guess we're attending."

He didn't expect Hazel to jump up and cheer, as if he had told her they won the lottery. As she dashed inside shouting they had to get ready.

He couldn't even get a word out- as he let out a sigh, though a smile on his scarred lips formed. At least he didn't have to blow who knows how much on some formal wear..

Regardless, he no longer had a choice, he stood up and made his way inside. Seeing the kitchen now empty 'cept for some plates and cups.

Marble retreated back to his room, finally alone as he got changed into his hero costume. He'd practically revamped the entire thing over the last few weeks.

He maybe only took about ten minutes to change. Steeping out he was met with Hazel and Tigre, each holding one of the twins. Clearly having no idea how the toddler carrier worked.

The sight made him chuckle, "let's go then. Everyone to the car." He smiled as he took the twins, both appearing sleepy. He just hoped they would sleep through the thing... Knowing he'd get some glares otherwise from the other parents.

He set up the twins booster seats, thankful he was able to save for a big enough car, a 7 seater that fit everyone with two seats to spare.

He heard the excitement from Hazel and Tigre, both as contained in their seats as the twins.

"Let's get going everyone," he smiled as the car started up with little issues before they began to hit the road.

This took awhile, mostly because I was violently unwell during the writing process. And hadn't the energy to ask for a break. Especially considering the writers block too but those two I'm slowly recovering though.

Traditionally, a Yukata is worn for spring celebrations. So I figured this would also count as a part of the prompt.

I realise there's a lot of characters here, but I wanted to also add Marble because Kanami's grandmother or Yama is made aware of Marbles situation from Kanami the day prior. Which is why he and his siblings were invited and why she was insistant in them eating and taking some leftovers with them. We love a wholesome grammie :sob: 🥰🥰
