Inside the bathroom, Luna and Keiran started to remove their clothes until they were fully naked.
Looking at each other they closed the distance and moved towards the shower turning on the tap as warm water started to fall on their bodies.
Keiran reached for the baby shower gel as he poured some on his hands.
"Let me help you first."
Nodding her head, Luna took the seat on a small stool specially made for them.
As he rubbed the gel on his small hands, some of it dripped down on the floor, and foam started to generate on his hands.
Reaching Luna's back, he rubbed his hands against her body.
As he scrubbed her back, a small, silly grin appeared on Luna's face, making her look even more cute than a kitten.
Keiran, oblivious to the expression of his other half, continued to move his hand towards her front while he stayed at the back.
The distance between them closed even further as they were practically sticking together.
Keiran carefully washed Luna's front, making sure not to miss any spot. The warm water cascaded down their bodies, and the atmosphere in the bathroom felt intimate and serene.
Luna, enjoying her brother's care, tilted her head slightly to give him better access, her eyes filled with affection as she looked at him. Their bond was not just about understanding each other's thoughts but also about this deep connection they shared.
He moved towards her front as he spoke lightly "stand up."
Without any second thought Luna stood up as he took the seat in her place and continued his actions but this time he rubbed her standing legs in a soft and smooth manner.
His gaze wandered on her body as he got curious about the obvious differences in their bodies.
His fingers came into contact with the area he was curious about, several times. It felt unexpectedly softer than any other part of her body.
(A/N: I needed two days to decide if i should write this scene or not =_= ಠ_ಠ. Don't be too much of a degenerate while reading this.)
He finished cleaning and took her under the shower as the water kept cleansing the areas of Luna he had just rubbed.
Once Luna's front was cleaned, Keiran moved back to rinse the soap away.
Then, they swapped positions, and Luna began washing Keiran, mirroring his care and thoroughness.
Their bond and trust in each other were evident in the way they moved together, a seamless dance of love and companionship.
Arriving in front, she sat on his legs with her legs on both sides.
She chuckled a little as she sat down, and Keiran just smiled at her actions.
Her hands moved on his chest as her face got closer, and she unconsciously sniffed in his scent, as if her body craved that fragrance.
Feeling her closeness and the warmth of the water, Keiran's heart skipped a beat.
Luna's actions were both innocent and endearing, and they shared a special bond that transcended the ordinary.
As Luna continued to explore his chest with her tiny hands, Keiran gently moved his hands to her back, his touch comforting and protective.
Her fingers ran all over him as she completed washing him up and stood up, taking his hands and pulling him up with her.
As she took her seat and turned her gaze towards his lower body, her gaze fixed on a certain part of his body.
After a second of shock, she looked down at her own lower body and then back at him.
This action caused a chuckle from Keiran. He rarely smiles, let alone chuckles at something.
"Why do you have this?" Luna asked as she looked at the unique thing differentiating them, inspecting it from a distance with innocent curiosity.
After a short explanation from Keiran, they hurriedly finished the bath and started to get dressed after drying each other's bodies.
Leaving the bathroom in new sets of clothes they looked at the four people waiting for them.
Two of them were the same maids standing behind in a respectful manner behind the other two that joined them in the wait.
"Big-bruddah."
A fast red blur came at Keiran at a fast speed, only to hug empty air. He looked at the side to see Keiran looking back at him with a calm expression.
"How many times have I told you not to do that..." Keiran spoke as he looked past him at the expression of his twin sister.
She was looking at the boy with a neutral expression, but he knew she was annoyed inside.
"You a-always hug big sis, why not me?" Aiden asked with an innocent and pitiful look on his face.
This caused both the siblings to sigh inwardly while Seraphina, who was standing at the side, was chuckling.
She knew the duo never liked anyone other than each other to touch them, but what astonished her was that even a little kid like Aiden couldn't break past their defenses.
Keiran flicked the boy's forehead, causing pain, and then rubbed his head. This action, not unfamiliar to the boy, caused him to pout in annoyance.
"You and her are different…" He spoke in a matter-of-fact tone. Hearing this, Aiden got confused, thinking about what he meant by that.
"How is she different from me, is it because she is a girl and I am a boy?" His question caused the happy mood of Luna to turn sour.
The thought of Keiran acting like that with any other female disgusted her to the core and the same thing if not worse happened when she imagined a boy instead of a girl.
She turned to look at Keiran with eyes that conveyed everything that the boy needed to know.
Keiran ignored the look he was being given by the girl and thought about Aiden's words. An answer came from deep within his soul making its way towards his mouth.
"She is mine."
This answer stunned not only the others but also himself. He didn't dwell deep on it as he felt a huge amount of affection directed towards him at the moment.
His gaze landed at Luna who was gazing at him with a soft look in her eyes and a small hue gracing her cheeks.
"Oh my! How bold of you Keiran." Seraphina spoke in a teasing manner which did not go very much according to her plan.
Seraphina's teasing made Keiran roll his eyes without saying anything. Although those words had slipped out on their own, they felt true to him.
'It's because she is Luna, the one who has been with me in times of darkness, whenever I've felt alone in that darkness.'
These were the current thoughts of the boy which unknowingly were heard by the one mentioned in them.
She came closer to him and hugged him from the side.
This earned a pout from the red-haired baby and an even louder chuckle from Seraphina.
During this year, both the twins got close to Aiden, but Keiran was more liked by the red-haired toddler.
According to the system, Aiden also held a connection to Ether that had yet to awaken inside of him.
Due to the presence of Ether inside a body, the body develops at a faster rate.
The passive nourishment that comes with the presence of Ether not only helped the twins but also Aiden too.
Erla tried to get closer to the twins during the time that passed by but couldn't achieve anything, as the twins always saw through her attentions.
That's why whenever Seraphina came to them with sincerity, they never declined her approach to a certain extent.
This also irked Erla a little as her kids were closer to others than herself.
Seraphina saw the talent of the kids and made sure they didn't face the cruelty of the world.
She would secretly help them in gaining knowledge.
Although Seraphina only saw the talent that everyone saw, she knew that the more talented they are, the more nurtured they had to be.
That's the nature of the world or the nature of humans. It makes them envy whatever they can't enjoy and want to take it for themselves.
The bond the duo held was deeper than anything she had ever seen, and that sometimes also made some bitter memories of the past resurface.
She knew their affection, unknowingly to themselves, had increased past merely the bounds of what siblings should have.
The amount of closeness they have with each other will only grow in the future unless something unexpected happens.
They have shut themselves from the others except them for some unknown reason to her.
Even with them, they maintained certain boundaries around them, especially with her. She always felt like they could see through to her very soul whenever they looked at her.
"So, what did you came here for?"
Keiran's voice broke her out of her thoughts.
