[ Let's do the AU where Ai lived, and the twins are still small and growing up.

It's the first holiday Aqua's been able to actually talk and walk around. While there's still a struggle between what he's able to think and what his body is able to do, at least the gap is closing.

He's not really old enough to buy presents for his family yet. Though the part of him that's a doctor feels like it must be his responsibility.

Picking out decorations is also part of the holiday, and that's why they're browsing online, crowded around Ai's phone. It's harder to shop in person when Ai is so well known, after all. ]

[ Ai had never thought she was a girl for Christmas decorations. Holidays in the Hoshino household mostly went without comment, if she was lucky. The children's home had done its best but year in and year out they had put up the same raggedy old decorations that became increasingly wilted as the years went by. She'd ended up assuming that Christmas wasn't really for her and that had been that.

Until Aqua and Ruby had been born, of course. Everything had changed the moment she knew the two of them even existed and the more time that passes with the two of them, the more she finds the things she'd taken for granted that she liked or disliked aren't quite so set in stone. Once upon a time the prospect of a family Christmas would have made her wince — now she can't wait. Saitou had snarked that she was even more hyped up about it than the actual kids and she hadn't been able to disagree. ]


Ooooo-kay! That's the tree squared away! [ She's ordered the biggest one that will actually fit in the apartment. Because of course she has. ] Now we've gotta pick out things to actually go on it... ooh, maybe we could go all in on color coding!

[ She gives Aqua a little grin. ]

What do you think?
