#both the twins just staring at c.erise waiting for her approval 🥺🙏

[2winstars]

it was tradition for the children of the horikoshi clan to partake in the tournaments they hold at the beginning of every winter, a test of steel and will portrayed in the arts of combat. nor was it any surprise that the twins seemed to rise victorious round after round, as though they were competing with each other rather than the others. neither wanted to lose, even when it came to the acknowledgement of their mother cerise. kira had told her how proud she was of their performance moments ago before they had taken off once again. they race towards where cerise was, boots digging into the snow to see who gets to her first.

❛     mother,     ❜ akihiko stops right before her, a grin 'pon his features as he faced her. even the young mage who practiced the art of the blade less than his sister, knowing that his true passions remained with spells, had not wasted the opportunity to work towards victory.

ryoko was close behind his steps, nearly bumping into her twin as she scrambled to halt, ❛     did you see that? were you watching us? we've made it into the finals!     ❜ she proclaimed proudly. it was she who often trained with their uncle, ashitaka, eager to surpass him as their clan's strongest swordsman.
