The most enchanting picturesque domicile stood along the coastline—a three-story lilac house with an azure-colored roof and a two-car garage. The stunning stone pathway led up to the front door, with many blossoms adjacent to the path. The backyard was immense. Complete with a supplementary flower garden, a treehouse with a swing, an impressive pool, and a sizable patio for entertaining. A spacious balcony to watch the sunrise over the sea was noticeable on the top floor.
It was a genuinely magnificent home, and whoever owned it appeared to take excellent care of it. This gorgeous residence was home to a family of five. The neighbors knew three adults in the house, two men, one woman, and a fraternal twins set.
Two young men were dreaming of a king-size bed in the primary bedroom. The beddings covering the bed were royal purple. The lavender carpeting complemented the turquoise walls. The asleep young men looked exceptionally similar, with identical crazy tri-colored hair and matching silk mauve pajamas. On their fingers shimmered exquisite wedding rings.
Gradually, the door to their bedroom opened, and the most attractive woman who ever lived walked in. The second most stunning of the men's mother's beauty was exceptional.
The young woman wasn't only eye-catching, but her attire and cosmetics were beyond flawless. Multiple long jet-black locks were pinned to her head while the others fell effortlessly to form a casual yet impressive, voluminous hairstyle. Her skintight dusky black velvet trousers and a chic snow-white silk shirt with a raised collar flawlessly followed every curve of her body. Furthermore, her matching slingback heels made her look more powerful and trustworthy.
The odd thing about the woman was her dark sunglasses over her eyes. Dawn only just commenced, and they're indoors. Still smiling, she adjusted the garment bags in her right hand before strolling over to the sleeping husbands. "Good Morning, Yami. Good morning, Yugi. Time to get up. I've made breakfast, and we've got a bustling day. So, wakey, wakey!" as she gently shook their shoulders.
The two men woke with a start attempting to contain their beating hearts in their chests. They looked to see who woke them from their dreams and didn't seem mad at the woman, mildly annoyed but not angry. "Aziza! Do you get some satisfaction in waking my aibou and me every morning?" the one named Yami questioned Aziza, who grinned.
"Blame it on my internal clock, brother. I'm constantly up earlier than then crack of dawn. So, I've got your suits pressed and dry cleaned. I also signed Jay and Z.Z.'s permission slips for their field trip to the city's aquarium at the end of the week. So, I'll meet you downstairs in twenty. I'll have breakfast completely on the table by then. Love you both!" She exited the bedroom and headed down the stairs.
"Yami, your sister, is the coolest woman in the universe, though I prefer if she'd stop waking us up," the shorter young man named Yugi said as he stretched.
His husband wrapped his strong arms around his middle and kissed his neck. "My sister is phenomenal, though sometimes I think she's blind makes her a little too bold when entering someone's bedroom."
"Either way, I'm still appreciative she's living with us and helping us with the twins," he cupped his husband's face to give him a peck on the cheek.
"Why wouldn't she, aibou? She's their mother, so she lives here to be with them and help us parent them," as he caressed his husband's face while gazing amorously into his large amethyst eyes.
Yami, whose birth name had been Prince Atem of Xanadu, and his sister Aziza weren't biologically related. However, Yami's mother, Samira, left his sadistic father to save their lives. So Yami, his mother, and the rest of their people were formally the Divine Beings of Xanadu. However, thirteen years ago, after Atem had run away to get out of an arranged marriage with an idiot, then met his angel Yugi.
In three months, they're a couple, and his people, like his mother, had willingly become human to escape Xanadu's hell. Leaving all the atrocious souls trapped, they'll exist for eternity in hell. The rest had become earthly, although their residual divinity granted them youthfulness, longevity, immunity from human illness, and a tenth of their magic for times of crisis.
But back to him and Aziza. His mother, Samira, had fallen in love with a motivational speaker named Samir Keeper, newly widowed after losing his wife Efra to tuberculous. Samira and Samir married after she became mortal. She'd legally adopted Samir's attractive blind daughter Aziza as her own, just as Samir had legally adopted him after becoming human.
As for their twins? Their son Jay and daughter Z.Z.? Yami and Yugi couldn't think of anyone as a better mom than Aziza. Thus they asked her if she minded being the mother of their children. She accepted since they're not blood-related. Therefore each of them fertilized one egg, and Aziza carried the twins and gave birth. Yami fathered Jay and Yugi Z.Z.
Nevertheless, they're a fun-loving family who got loads of help from their friends and family. The last thirteen years have been delightful. So many beautiful dreams had come true.
Yami was still involved in political science because, technically, he was the king of the people of Xanadu. So even if they're earthborn nowadays, they'd have to be within reason represented here on Earth.
Thus it was a lot of work, and he was dog-tired at the end of each day. Yugi, on the other hand? He'd become a humanitarian and done countless miracles for the world over. In addition, Aziza, the goddess she was, had become a fashion model, the most prominent one in the city.
The aibous helped one another dress and had a make-out session when their wings emerged. Again a Divine Being who willingly chooses to become human retains a tenth of their original magic. However, seeing how both Yami and Yugi were the Hearts of Xanadu and Earth, respectfully, their power was more substantial together. Every world in the universe has a source of mystical energy.
For the most significant part of history, Hearts have been objects. Only in recent centuries did they become part of living beings. Only a person who's lived among their kind could thoroughly understand the life lessons that would responsibly aid someone in wielding these mysterious endowments. They use them for their people's good and not for selfish ambitions.
Even Aziza, the Oracle's human incarnation, the Guardian of the Universe's Hearts, still wields her magic. But again, while intense emotions would bring forth their wings, they still needed a lot of self-control not to cause accidents.
Finally, knowing Aziza would have their hides if they didn't get downstairs for breakfast, the sensual young men immediately headed down to the state-of-the-art kitchen. Aziza, at the moment, was pouring a concoction from the blender into their twins' glasses. Aziza was extremely health conscious. She knew a healthy body helped you have a healthier mind.
Since Aziza was bipolar, she also comprehended psych meds could make you gain weight. Therefore, all three parents closely watched their children's physical and mental well-being. They even made their children attend therapy every Friday afternoon.
Despite being fraternal twins, they still looked virtually identical. They're slightly taller then the average eleven-year-old, but both had inherited their fathers' tri-colored hair. Jay's hair reached his mid-back, and Z.Z. They styled her hair after her grandmother Samira. Two other things that made the twins look alike were their left eye was crimson while their right was amethyst, and they wore gold earrings that looked like Yami's Puzzle.
Divine Beings at birth were granted a Divinity Item of some type to regulate their magic. Given who their parents were, the children possessed tremendous magical potential. Therefore their grandmother and great-grandparents employed some of their magic to fashion the twins' Divinity Items.
However, their grandparents and great-grandparents support them in many other areas of their lives. The twins referred to them all as "Grandma and Grandpa," honestly because it was a mouthful to say, Great-Grandma or Great-grandpa.
The twins reached for their vegan muffins when they heard their fathers enter the room. Jumping off their chairs, they raced to hug their fathers. Then, exclaiming, "Dad and Daddy!" (Yami was called Dad, and Yugi called Daddy to circumvent the uncertainty they discussed.)
"How are our little prince and princess doing today?" Yami affectionately inquired as he hugged his son.
"We're doing excellent, Dad!" Jay blurted cheerfully. "Thanks to Grandpa Shimon and Solomon, Z.Z., and I am more ready to ace our midterm exams this week!"
"And thanks to Grandma Solmina's schooling, we're the most qualified students at her charm school! You did desire us to be proper ladies and gentlemen, didn't you, Daddy?" Z.Z. Implored her daddy.
"Yes, Z.Z. We're thrilled about your development in your Grandma Solmina's charm school. We're delighted to hear your education is going splendidly with your grandpas," her daddy replied as he kissed her forehead, causing her to giggle.
"It makes perfect sense, aibou, that my grandpa opened his version of a cram school. He's a lot less demanding then a majority of those schools. He's also affectionate and compassionate to everyone," Yami remarked thoughtfully, and his husband nodded in agreement.
Truthfully, Yami hadn't known who his grandparents were growing up in Xanadu. He had no idea that Shimon had been his mother's father, exiled to the Infinite Archives. It wasn't till Samira whacked him on the head for a bad joke that he found out about his grandparents. Subsequently, he and his aibou were able to liberate his grandmother Solmina from the abysses of the Shadow Realm.
"I'm delighted to hear that too. However, we need to get moving. So finish your breakfast. You've got school in an hour, and your fathers have to get to work. I'm booked with photo shoots most of this week." Aziza reminded them as she sipped her veggie juice.
"So you're modeling unconventional clothing this week, Mom?" she asked as she ate breakfast. Their mother made a variety of vegan food that morning. She'd been on a vegan kick for the past two weeks, although her moods regularly changed twice a month regarding their nutrition. Therefore they still got a mixture of foods.
"For Junior Fashion Week," answering her pre-teen daughter's question. Flipping her locks, she continued, "Teenage designers will get to showcase a diversity of collections at next week's fashion show. I agreed to model one of the unconventional outfits."
"It's so cool you and Daddy are working together to help young people achieve their dreams," Jay pointed out, to which Yugi smiled.
"One of the many ways I help give back to the community, son. But, of course, sponsoring this event is par for the course," Yugi grinned. He loved to help people and support noble causes. Consequently, doing all he did was a dream come true for someone with a pure heart of gold.
"What are you doing in that stuffy office today, Dad?" Z.Z. She desired to know as her dad sighed. He played a bit with his breakfast before answering her question.
"I've to meet with several members of the U.N. today. Xanadu only joined four years ago, and it's been a nightmare conforming to most of the regulations that are part of the U.N." The young king looked most discontented concerning the possibilities of his workday. Sometimes being a king wasn't fun, even if its what he was born to do.
"Remember your coping skills, brother, and it shouldn't be so bad. Don't forget, Mom's opening her brand-new art gallery on Saturday. Next Monday, Dad is doing his yearly speech next Monday to encourage literacy at the library "Literacy for Kids" event," which his sister reminded him of, which he acknowledged.
"Don't despair. I've been doing well in my therapy sessions. I know what the best coping skills, sis are," he responded confidently, which made her smile brightly at him.
"Good to know. So let's finish this delicious breakfast to get this week started!" the family promptly finished their breakfast to get on with their week.
The week they worked out quite well. The twins got the highest scores on their midterm exams, enjoyed their field trip to the aquarium, and couldn't wait for events with their families. Grandma Samira's brand-new art exhibit was beyond impressive, and hearing their Grandpa Samir's inspirational speech made them determined to teach reading to others.
The fashion show dazzled them and encouraged them to follow their dreams. Also, they're excited about two months. Then, finally, there is a charity ball with the rest of their classmates at Grandma Solmina's charm school. Everyone in school was looking forward to that.
Aziza herself was thrilled that she'd been able to accomplish a dream despite being blind. Likewise, being a blind model has greatly benefited others with various disabilities to pursue career paths once thought unattainable.
Yugi's pure heart changed the world with each passing day with a minor miracle. Yami continued his responsibility as a leader and an activist for those victimized. All in all, things were perfect for the family.
