kolivan and the blades

The Blades of Marmora are super protective of the cubs, especially if they haven’t seen them in a long time (a week or so).

Akira regularly toddles into training sessions and grabs Kolivan’s leg. He falls over multiple times until Kolivan reaches down with a big claw to help the baby up.

Akira grabs big fistfuls of Kolivan's fur and Kolivan just lets him. He’s been known to lead a meeting with a tiny poofball clinging to him. Akira in particular likes to bite into Kolivan’s braid with his tiny teeth and worry it like a dog toy. Kolivan continues his briefings with a completely straight face. Mitsuko loves to tug on his ears. Shiro once caught Kolivan doing his paperwork with Haru sleeping in the crook of his neck.

The Blades all have pet names for the babies. They give them all kinds of traditional Galra gifts.

None of the babies could pronounce “Kolivian” at first. Imagine, if you will, a tiny baby voice attempting his name:

Koruban

Ko

Koofvan

Koolivan

Eventually they just use “Kool.”

It’s a running joke that they should have one more cub, a kid for each Lion.

Keith and Shiro: NO

"Cream puff, head fluff, soft scruff, and human stuff."

Shiro: "Is that one soft scruff or head fluff?"

"That's head fluff, Shiro, see his ears?"

Shiro, two months down the line very quietly asks Krolia, "What's head fluff's actual name?"

"I hope you're joking."

"Of course I am!"

Hikaru Eos, by jeovasilver

Hikaru is a human, beta male.

The Black Lion likes him best.

Hikaru is the green thumb of the family, and has quite the exotic plant collection, even when young. The Blades especially like to bring him plants from their travels. By the time he’s an older kid, he has an “ailing plant” area in his room where he nurses sick plants to health. He and Shiro often garden together. 

Hikaru is soft spoken but he's not meek; he speaks with certainty and nobility.

He idolizes Kolivan and wants to be just like him when he grows up, right down to the long braid. "Granpa Kool is big and strong! An--and-- he has long hair! And daddy has long hair too! I'm gonna be strong like him and Daddy when I'm older!"

Mitsuko Isilme by jenovasilver

She’s an alpha female, a darker violet color. Looks a lot like Grandma Krolia in the face and ears. She has curly hair and a tail.

Her favorite toys are her Bibobi doll and her blanket.

She’s the most perceptive of the cubs, noticing everything but not always saying anything about it. Her still waters run deep.

She’s got the loudest and strongest meow. All of her brothers shut up when she’s speaking. She’s fast and smart, and fiercely protective of her brothers, especially Haru. 

The Red Lion loves her. When Mitsuko roars at Red, sometimes Red roars back. Coran made Mitsuko a tiny flight suit and installed a baby seat next to the pilot seat in the Lion. It has tiny controls so that the cub can pretend she’s flying too. Red lets Keith fly her when Mitsuko wants a turn. Mitsu learns to fly Red at 5.

and baby makes ...five

The morning after Akira and Haru sleep in their own rooms, Shiro makes celebratory pancakes. The stack is so high that both cubs’ eyes boggle. “You don’t have to eat them all,” Shiro reassures them, “but you can have as many as you want, with whatever toppings you want.” 

Akira wants jam, marshmallows, and peanut butter, and insists on keeping his pancakes in three separate piles according to their toppings, taking a bite of each one in sequence. Haru layers peanut butter, syrup, and chocolate chips into a tooth-rotting tower of carbs and sugar. Keith shudders to think of the cleanup to come. Combining pancakes and cubs has made an epic mess since day one -- which is why pancakes are only for special occasions. 

Keith smiles to himself. This occasion is more special than Shiro knows. He wanders over to the counter, pours himself a cup of coffee and then grimaces. Shit. No coffee. He puts cream in it for Shiro instead, leans his hip against the counter and watches Shiro work on the last batch of pancakes.

“Might need to move your weights out of the old nursery,” he says casually.

“Hmm?” Shiro replies, wiggling the spatula under a pancake. He lifts it gently, his forearm flexing for the flip.

“Gonna need the room for the next one,” Keith says.

The pancake misses the pan entirely.

“W-what?” Shiro says. Keith reaches past him and turns the burner off. Shiro’s eyes are wide. He’s holding the spatula like he’s forgotten about it. Keith takes it from his loose fingers and draws Shiro’s hand to Keith’s belly. 

“Number three.”

Shiro beams. Before Keith can blink, Shiro presses him into the counter. The kiss is a mess, as much laughter as desire, but Keith wouldn’t trade it for anything.

“Whath number three?” Akira lisps around a mouth full of pancake. “Papa? Daddy?”

Keith keeps kissing Shiro, his heart full. He’ll explain in a minute.

Akira and Haru sleep apart

It’s never easy to move to your own room, especially not after nesting together for so long. And, of course, the first time they try it, a big storm system rolls in. Keith considers putting it off another night, but Shiro has spent weeks preparing the cubs for it, telling them how big and brave they’ve grown, and how it will be different but they’ll do just fine, so Keith keeps his mouth shut.

Akira and Haru have a comm link in each of their rooms so they can talk to each other. Once the boys are settled, Keith and Shiro go to their own bedroom, sit on their bed, and listen in. Thunder rumbles across the sky.

Akira says, “Haru, don't be scared.” He makes a tiny, rattling kind of purr, and Keith bites back a laugh. Akira is half-Galra and can purr just fine; he’s mimicking the way it sounds when Shiro tries to make a Galra purr with his human throat.

“I -- I’m not scared!” Haru insists. He sounds like he almost believes it.

“Are you okay?” Akira asks.

Haru sniffles a little. “Uh huh.”

“Be Great, Haru!” Akira says, and it’s so painfully earnest that Keith can’t decide whether to laugh or cry. He tucks his face into the curve of Shiro’s neck.

Haru sniffles again, but says, “Be G-great!”

The two brothers chirp at each other for a while, exchanging the kind of babytalk trills and hums they used to make before they could speak properly. Keith gets a strong sense memory of the way both boys sounded while nursing. He smiles against Shiro’s skin. It’s about the cutest thing he’s ever heard.

Shiro kisses Keith’s hand. “I never doubted them,” he says.

“Me neither,” Keith responds. They’re quiet for maybe half a minute before Shiro says, “Do you want to check on them?”

Keith uncurls himself from Shiro and shakes his head. “No, they’re fine,” he says, but it’s really awfully quiet in there; even their faint snores have faded away. He cocks his head, listens harder. He should be able to hear breathing, right? “Maybe just a peek.”

Akira and Haru go to school by jenovasilver

Akira loves preschool. He comes home every day and tries to teach Haru what he learned, even though Haru is too young to really make much sense of it.

Akira the only Galra baby in pre-k, and he’s kind of a hero. He announces his name with pride.

'My daddies saved all your daddies!'

'A-and mommies too!'

Kids always want to pet him but he fearlessly says no. Sometimes he allows the nice ones to pet him, because he likes pets, but only if they ask. He makes a scary growl when his personal boundaries are violated, not a cute growl, so the other kids learn quickly.

By the beach

Sometime when Akira was 8, Haru was 5, Mitsu was 4 and Hikaru was 1, they decide to take the babies to the beach, since Shiro haven’t seen the ocean since they come back from space and Keith have never actually seen it.

They rented a small house near the ocean with a beautiful view and a bit of a little private beach that come with it. 

The children loved it, galra pups behaving a bit like tigers when near water, and even Keith joining in the fun.

Shiro didn’t seem able to swim all that well, because of his heavy metal arm, but he enjoyed just staying in the sand, playing with Hikaru and building a sandcastle for the kids, but they were a bit sad that their papa wasn’t able to join them.

The older kids came out with a plan, Haru and Mitsu digged a small hole and Akira carrying two buckets of water filled it, all while Shiro is just holding Hikaru under an umbrella smiling, so proud of how kind his babies were.

He eventually give up and got his feet (the only part that fitted) in the hole, all while Hikaru tried to escape for the third time that day and get in the beach, subsequently being hit by a wave and falling, making him completely covered in sand.

They decided to let Keith take him to into the ocean, if he wanted it so much, where the baby was fine and seem just as able to instinctively swim as his siblings, not that his dad ever let took his hands away from his boy, worried that he would get hurt.

On the next day, while their parents where sleeping, the babies sneaked out to the beach and tried to get in the ocean by themselves, luckily being caught on time by their parents before they got hurt.

Haru Sirius

Haru is the second born, an omaga male, bluish-purple.

He’s a little hellion wildcat boy. He carries around his plush Kolivan doll and wants to be just like his favorite uncle.

He loves the Green Lion, who loves him back. 

He’s the quiet one; he keeps to himself. He doesn’t like to be touched by strangers. (An alpha once tried to grab Haru's tail without permission and that alpha ended up in the hospital)

He loves making nests. Every time his dads are looking for him, they say to each other, “oh no, where is he?” And then he runs to them, like, “I’m here!” and makes grabby hands at one of them to pick him up

Haru always gets kidnapped because he's a little omega and his kidnappers think he'll cause the least problems but they're damn wrong.

Pancakes! (art by jenovasilver)

At least half of the pancake makes it into Akira’s mouth; the rest gets in his fur. Crumbs everywhere. And. Shiro gave Akira syrup before Keith could warn him against it. Shiro quickly learns: never do that again.

Akira does his best to bathe himself but he is small, his tongue is small and his arms are fat, everything is hard. He can get the fists fine, though, and the syrup really is delicious.

Space wolf comes over and licks the baby clean. Everyone wins.
