You could say nothing had been going well for the twins.
Just as Atsumu had predicted their father started to spend less time with them.
At first, of course he made a little effort, disliking their choice of calling him father instead of papa.
But that lasted two days. Only two days.
That went from two or three hours a day to a hour a day and finally one hour every three days.
It wasn't fair. He spent half his time on king stuff and the other on their step mother and sister. At least five minutes a day would be enough for the boys.

"Mama.." Atsumu said he leaned his head on his mother's gravestone as he looked towards the fountain where they had received the news.
"I don't like her.. the new step-mother. She's so mean mama. She once told me to hide my 'ugly' hair. Do you think it's ugly mama? Would you tell me you hate my hair if you were here mama? Would you?" Atsumu says as he let silent tears roll down his face.
"Sumu..? What are you doing out here. Uncle Mako said it will be snowing soon and you know we aren't allowed out while it snows.." Osamu said as he stared at his brother who was just leaning on their mother's gravestone crying his eyes out.
"Chamu... I don't wanna go. I want mama. I wanna be with mama. I don't like papa. He's mean just like Akemi." Atsumu finished in one breath as let out sobs trying to quite it down as much as possible by covering his mouth with both his hand lifting his head from the gravestone.
"Chumu.." Osamu cried out as he stared at his brother.

Chumu and Chamu... their first words.
Mako had told them both the story.
Their father trying to get them to say the most random things until ultimately giving up by banging his head on the table which both the twins sat on staring at their father sitting on his dining chair while he banged his head.
"At- su- mu, say- so-me-thing.." The king says throughout every bang of his head on the table
"Chumu!" Osamu had yelled excitedly followed by giggles irrupting from the him.
"Wait what! OSAMU YOUR FIRST WORD!" The king yelled as happy as ever as he grabbed onto the giggling child as he let out excited yells.
"Chamu!" Atsumu yelled following the enthusiasm of his brother before bursting into giggles himself.
"OH ATSUMU!" The king yelled excitedly as he grabbed onto Atsumu lifting him from the table onto his arms where his brother lay giggling and snorting.
The king chuckled over joyed as he wiped his tears from his shoulder, looking over at his gleaming children with his bright brown eyes.
He layed a soft kiss on both of his two year old miracles as they just giggled.

Osamu let out a soft sigh as he sat down on the left side of their mother's grave, looking over at his brother who sat on the right side of the grave laying his head on the gravestone as sniffling once in a while.
