𝔄id was provided by the protective older brother with deft digits working their way on the most troublesome parts of the winter pieces that Sirius struggled with. When it came to the shoes, Ciel had helped him into the first pair, buttoning the spats on each shoe. On top of that would be their father’s pair of winter boots. It was ridiculously oversized, but Sirius held his tongue for the time being. Ciel was thinking entirely about his health and safety; for that, he could only be grateful to have such a caring and selfless brother. With such an endearing gesture, the boy couldn’t help but smile as the other was bent over to tightly lace the boots.
Ciel would then make a comment about Tanaka, their head butler who cared deeply for the boys and treated them just as a grandfather would. The comment was enough to make the younger boy laugh out loud. He was unable to stifle such a sound even though he had a feeling that Tanaka was more than capable of capturing them. Yet his brother was so good and so ridiculous when he made fun of their elder. It was all in good fun.
‘ You’re so funny sometimes. ’
There would be a brief moment between the two, and something tingled Sirius’s senses. Something that told him he knew what his older brother was thinking of when he had gone silent for only a pause. Something else told him that he didn’t want to ponder too long on the thought if what he was thinking was true. Their mother could be quite frightful when need be.
With another grasp to his hand, he would follow along until they would reach the back door leading out to their favorite area. There would be a few minutes taken to admire the dancing swirls and silver lines that decorated polished glass, leaving behind the temptation of a winter wonderland just beyond. The frail child would listen as his beloved brother spoke almost endlessly about the designs that he loved most, and occasionally Sirius would point out his as well, only to immediately pull his hand back upon the frigid touch of frozen glass. It felt like solid ice and they had not even walked outside yet!
‘ It is.,, It’s very cold. ’
Gloves would be handed over and while he was able to grasp them, with clothing so oversized and nearly swallowing him whole, he was unable to pull them onto his hands himself. The heir would smile as he always did and help his brother place them on. With that, the door would be pushed open to reveal more than just a winter wonderland. It was as if they were entering a fairytale. Almost like Alice in Wonderland. The scenery was much different than that of before.Though a biting chill nipped at them while they adjusted to the temperature change, the beautiful area behind their home was far too tempting by that point to tuck their tails and turn back. Sapphires would glance at the other boy that made his first step outdoors before fixating upon the scene before them. With such a captivating view before them, it was almost painful to upset the perfect picture. The snow glistened and sparkled much like the twin’s blazing baby blues that their mother always complimented.
Sirius’s attention would be captured as soon as Ciel spoke. Indeed. It did look like ice cream. Especially closer to the gardens itself. Wishing to be close to his brother lest he lose the child under the evening stars, two little legs would shuffle together. Such oversized clothing prohibited him from walking properly, but safety was much more important. With that, a waddle would come alive, resembling that of a small penguin.
‘ It’s so pretty out here, Ciel. I want to get closer to the garden. ’
The moment the little earl-to-be’s eyes fell upon his brother he was shocked into silence, witnessing what would very much become his favorite and most hilarious moment with his little brother. Each little waddle of a leg a new struggle to overcome and even the smallest little hilltop of settled snow proves a mountain!
When the shock wears off, he bursts out laughing, doubling over and clutching his sides as if he’s afraid of splitting at the seams which is precisely what it feels like he might do! Oh how he laughs and laughs and his little lungs freeze but he collapses into the snow and laughs some more.
“B-brother! Ahaha! You-ahaha- you look- ahahah!” He can’t help himself and surely he will feel guilty about it much later or when his sensitive little brother starts sniffling about it and Ciel will surely reassure him that he’s not making fun, but rather having fun!
“You can hardly move little brother!” And he can hardly breathe but he tries and he claws his way back to his feet, hair full of snow and clothes a white caked mess. He brushes himself off as he wades through the snow again to his brother’s side and takes his hand to help him deeper into the garden, still snickering at the sight of his newfound walk.
“Really, it isn’t that cold outside, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to take off a few layers?” But he knows he won’t. He may be the sky, but his little brother is the star that shines within, cradled and protected, cherished. He will never endanger his brother’s health.
“Look! Over there! The rose bushes are so scary this time of year! But doesn’t it look like the belly of a snowman? Oh little brother do you want to build one with me?”
