The first prince couldn’t wait to see his new brother and he had a gift for him…” Finally on the first day of summer, the second prince was born. Imagine the joy when the king and queen announced that they were going to have another son.” The servants were fine but they made boring playmates. The prince was very lonely and wanted someone to play and laugh with together. “Once upon a time, there was a king and queen and they had a son. Yakko meets halfway, allowing him to lay his head on his shoulder. Wakko nods enthusiastically and scoots closer. A sparkle of wonder fills the dark young eyes and he sits up slightly to be level with Yakko. Have I ever told you the story about the day you were born?” He sits beside his brother, leaning against the wall. Yakko needs to stop his brother from dwelling too much on these thoughts. Don’t starve yourself for my sake and hers.” It was like Wakko to be that selfless that he’d forgo food to help his hypoglycaemia rather than let his big brother and his sick sister suffer. The statement makes Yakko frown slightly when he sees the sad guilt marring that young face. “Need to make sure that you two get enough to eat before I have my share…” We’ll have food to last for at least three days.” The younger Warmer returns the gesture with a sleepy lopsided smile. He runs the fine black fur under Wakko’s red cap with careful fingers, his grin soft under the candlelight. Yakko settles the warm bundle on the smaller mattress next to his own before covering him up with the worn blanket. But the important thing is that they keep them relatively covered from the worst of the cold weather. They instead have straw mattresses and their pillows and blankets are less plush. It isn’t much compared to their sister’s. He hugs back when he feels the tight squeezes around his shoulders and waist and a muzzle pressing against his neck. The eldest Warner sibling sighs but grins softly as he approaches Wakko and picks him up.

After ensuring she is breathing deeply and safe under the heavy comforter, he turns his attention to his second sibling who is blinking sleepily while still standing…albeit a bit wobbly. He knows it soothes her and makes her forget her terrible cough and her ailing condition just for a little while. Yakko always makes sure that Dot is sound asleep after she listens to her most favourite story about her birth.
