Task: Tell us about Kero and Yue’s first snowfall, as requested per cygna_hime.
“AAIIIEEEE!”
Keroberos’ bellow shook the mansion to its foundation, causing all the candlestick flames to flicker and shattering the crystal Yue had been struggling for most of an hour to produce. Shards flew everywhere and the moon creature flinched, then cast a scathing look at the door.
No, Yue, you will not kill Keroberos. He is your brother. You love him. Really.
“YUUU-WEHHHH!”
Hardly had he the chance to stand before his counterpart burst through the study doors and came at him in full gallop.
“What the -”
“YUUU-WEHHH!” his brother shrieked again, and leapt. Yue was flat on his back before his mind could process what happened, Keroberos pinning him to the rug. The reduction of the space between Kero’s mouth and Yue’s ear to mere inches, however, did not compel Keroberos to lower his voice. “The WORLD is ENDING!”
You will not kill Keroberos, you will not you will not you will -
“What?”
“It’s ending, it’s ending!” His golden eyes had gone circular with panic, his fur all standing up on end. “Look!”
His great jaws clamped over Yue’s shoulder, and much to his astonishment, he found himself being dragged across the room like a wild animal’s prey. “Keroberos! Release me at once or I’ll -”
“Look!” Keroberos interrupted, rather muffled until he spat Yue back out onto the floor. “See? Look outside, the sky is falling and the world is coming to an END!”
Hand on his bruised shoulder, Yue opened his mouth to heap abuse upon Keroberos and then stopped short. His excitable feline sibling had dumped him by the sill of the study’s large and lavish window, its velvet curtains not yet drawn in the fading daylight. Outside, the afternoon air was thick with peculiar white flakes, each drifting steadily earthwards and sticking to the ground.
“See?” Keroberos yelped, in his ear of course. “Look at what’s happened to the rain! It’s turned to ash and the world’s endin’ and we’re all gonna DIE!!”
“Stop shouting. The world isn’t going to end!”
“Oh yeah? Well how do you know? Do you know what that white stuff is?”
“No,” Yue admitted uncertainly. “But the world isn’t going to end.”
“What makes you so sure?”
“Because Master Clow would have known, and he would have said so!”
“Well maybe he didn’t know about this!”
“He would!”
“The world is ending!”
“Is not.”
“Fine, we’ll ask him! And if I’m right, I get your dessert!”
“Idiot cat, if you’re right then there won’t be any desserts ever again.”
Kero’s expression achieved a new level of panic with that realization, so much so that Yue was almost tempted to laugh.
“CLOW!!!!”
~~~
“Another handful, Yue?”
“Yes, thank you, Master Clow.” Yue accepted another mound of the stuff and patted it in place, rounding out the belly of this strange sculpture. “This s-no is quite interesting, after all. I’m enjoying this.”
“Glad you’re having fun,” Keroberos muttered spitefully. From within his cocoon of snow he glared at the both of them. “But why do I have to be inside the snowman?”
“You should have more faith in me, Keroberos.” Clow tapped him on the nose and smiled. “Don’t worry. If the end of the world ever comes, I shall be sure and tell you. In the meantime, I have a special treat for you that I think you will like.”
Yue’s little brother perked up. “Treat?”
“Yes. I invented it myself and it took me some time to designate a suitable name, but I’ve taken to calling it… a snow-cone.”
