~ Home and family should be an anchor, a port in storm, a refuge, a happy place in which to dwell, a place where we are loved and we can love~ Marvin. J. Ashton

~ The most important thing in the world is family and love ~ John Wooden

~ Family is a unique gift that needs to be appreciated and treasured, even when they're driving you crazy. As much as they make you mad, interrupt you, annoy you, curse at you, try to control you, these are the people who know you the best and who love you.~ Jenna Morasca

(A/n : In the previous chapter of Remnant's Giant)

Yang/Ruby : "Zwei!!!", they both had said in unison as they had pet the corgi whilst Luke was seeing them from Ryan's hands (A/n : Summer had given Luke to Ryan whilst they were in the Bullhead after she had stopped teasing Ryan.), remembering quite well the moments from his early days after being adopted in the family that no one was letting him near Zwei mostly for not having the latter to think the former as an easy meal or because the former was a bit too scared of the phenomenally "harmless" corgi.

(A/n : Author's POV)

Once they had arrived, Yang and her siblings had taken Weiss's and Blake's luggage on the rooms that the girls were going to sleep with them since they would all spend the weekend at the Rose/Xiao Long family's home..

The slightly, but not overly difficult thing was to take their luggage up the stairs since it was a bit heavy, but once they've managed to do it, the rest were quite easy since they only had to basically roll the small luggage bags to the rooms.

Sage hadn't taken any luggage with him due to the fact that he's mainly sharing the same body with Ryan, his older twin whilst Blake and Weiss had taken a small luggage bag with all the necessary things that they would need, which was a surprising thing to do from the latter since they all pretty much remembered the total amount of luggage that Weiss had with her in the first day of Beacon.

Yang : " Well... it appears that we might have a problem", she said to them with a nervous chuckle whilst rubbing the back of her head sheepishly as she had basically remembered something that would make their trip a bit awkward.

Blake : " What is that problem of yours ?", she inquired, making the blonde to chuckle once again before explaining that due to the lack of rooms in the home, when they adopted Ryan and Luke (A/n : Their parents don't know yet about Sage's identity, only his name. Just a friendly reminder in case you wondered or came back to read the story after a while.😉), the previous quote on quote guest room was turned into Ryan's room.

This meant that Blake was going to be basically moved into Ruby's room since the cookie happy girl was more tolerable than the teasing blonde, Yang was going to sleep with Luke and Weiss with Ryan which had made the face of the heiress, especially her cheeks to go from her usual pale color to a more beet red one due to the fact that she had to essentially share the same bed as her boyfriend. Things were going to get all blushy for her.

(A/n : You're about to see some extremely fluffy moments, I hope that you don't have any problems since I wouldn't want you to faint from cuteness overload🥺)

Ryan : " * chuckles softly seeing Weiss's blush * Don't worry about it ice cream, it'll all be alright.", he said to her calmly, proceeding to gently caress Weiss's hair in a reassuring way, having the others to aww at the fact that the heiress didn't slap his hand away like the other times, but instead was acting all blushy and shy by it.

(A/n : Just like that, but replace the girl with Weiss (except for the part where she hugs his arm). This is just too cute to the point that I could have literally sworn my heart nearly exploded when I've first seen this gif 🥺😭)

Yang: '*In her mind* How can someone that was behaving that cold act that cute!!!?', she thought to herself quite envious about it.

Blake : ' *In her mind * This is just too cute to be true', she thought to herself, being quite jealous.

Luke : " * mumbles cutely * I wanted headpats too", he mumbled under his breath with a small pout and had seen that Yang had moved her finger closer to the breast pocket where the borrower teen was poking out off and proceeded to gently caress Luke's hair, making Luke's tail to wag happily.

Ruby : " * pouts adorably * I want head pats too", she said, getting Ryan's right hand closer to her head, having Ryan to chuckle slightly and pat her head.

(A/n : Just like that, but replace Nezuko Kamado with Ruby)

(A/n : Timeskip to after they had been satisfied with the head pats is brought to you by chibi, human form Sage (Ironically enough) giving head pats to a chibi Blake who's purring)

Ryan : " Okay, okay enough with the head pats, it's time to get you two to your rooms", he said to them calmly, getting his hands off of Weiss's and Ruby's heads making them both to pout at that and cross their arms.

Ryan : "*sighs* I'll give you more before we all fall asleep", he said to them calmly with a small sigh.

After they had all gotten ready and in their pajamas, they had went to meet with the parents of the four, although the parents were in for quite the surprise once the lunch was ready, as for the food, Summer had made cannelloni (A/n : A.k.a Luke's favorite food) which made the small teen a bit too.... let's say jumpy for his own good.

Yang : "* her purple eyes widen slightly in worry * Watch out Luke, you wouldn't want to fall down now, would you?", she asked him politely about it, albeit in a rhetorical question, bringing her left hand closer to the small teen, cupping it protectively around him so that he wouldn't fall.

Luke :" *chuckles nervously* Sorry about that big sis, it's that I was too excited about the fact that I was going to eat my favorite food that I couldn't see where I was going.", he said to her calmly whilst rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly, trying to stabilize himself on the malleable surface of Yang's palm and had walked off of her hands once his sister had placed her hand on the table.

(A/n : Stop the previous music and begin with this one instead. Get your heartstrings and your emotions all fortified and ready, because I'm about to start a full on emotional siege on them 😈)

Once they were all seated and ready to eat, Ryan and Sage had to remove their face masks from their faces - obviously - before they had begun to eat, for Ryan it was easy to do, but for Sage it was more difficult done than said, due to the fact that he didn't want them to learn the truth.

Summer : "* frowns sympathetically* What's wrong Sage?", she asked him politely, albeit in a worried yet motherly tone, making the ash gray haired teen's red eyes to widen slightly to the fact that he had almost forgotten about the fact that they could see him right now.

Tai :" If it's the fact that you're shy of getting off your face mask, don't be since we're all like a big family after all.", he said to him in an encouraging tone, making Sage to sigh softly before he had hesitantly mind you, removed his face mask and at that very moment a veil of quiet fell on the Rose/Xiao Long family home once both Sage and Ryan had removed their face masks.

They were looking as identical as two drops of water!!!! Well, except for the fact that they had different hair and eye color, but everything else was there, even their scars, wait a minute, scars? Uh oh.

Summer : " Who had hurt the both of you? ", she asked them politely, but from her ominous aura and the shadow in front of her eyes she was dead serious about it.

Ryan : "We had fought with some people who were harassing Luke and Ruby, but although we were hurt. We had given them the scare of their lives.", he responded to his mother politely, albeit they could see something twitching on the heads of both of the teens.

Tai :" I also have some questions for you, first of all why does Sage look exactly the same as you my son and secondly why is something twitching on both of your heads?", he asked them politely, having both Sage and Ryan to nod towards one another and basically reveal their fox ears to them.

Tai :" Since when the both of you were faunus? ", he said to them calmly, albeit everyone could see the surprise in his tone of voice.

Ryan/Sage : "*In unison* Since the day we were born", they said to them in unison. (A/n : I'm keeping the true reason hidden from you to explain it a bit more in the Explaining Time and in the future chapters🤫)

Tai : " What do you mean by 'the day you were born'?", he asked them politely and then they had seen that Sage had mysteriously disappeared, although they were slightly calm about it, they were surprised by the fact that half of Ryan's facial features were baring resemblance to Sage whilst the other half of them were still Ryan's.

Ryan/Sage : "We meant that we share the same body. On the day we were born, Sage's body was surprisingly but an empty husk whilst his soul was mysteriously fused with mine. I didn't knew that since the day he had awakened in my body when I had felt anger and sorrow burning me from within like a raging blaze.", they said to them, each one of them was completing each other's words in a serene way and when they were finished, Sage had appeared from within Ryan's shadow. (A/n : Guess the reference behind their way of speaking( small hint, it's about a character from League of Legends😉))

(A/n : Stop the previous music and begin with this one)

Sage : " That's basically the truth about the fact that we're both twins, I'm terribly sorry if you think that I've possessed him and all of it was just a lie.", he said to them and had stood up going to leave or to be more specific about it dissappear since he had felt that he wasn't any longer welcome in there, but he had stopped, tensing down to every fiber of his being seeing that not only Ryan, his twin, but all of them were hugging him from all sides.

Luke : " Don't leave big bro", he said to him in a pleading tone, hugging as much as he could of Sage's chest whilst Ruby was holding him and was hugging Sage's front as well.

Tai : " You don't have to leave young one from the family that cares about you.", he said to him calmly.

Summer : " I knew that something was going on with Ryan and you seeing that once I had caught him looking on the mirror one day, I could have sworn that I had seen someone else instead of his reflection, but I'm not going to say anything since one more child in the family does not matter to us.",she said to him revealing him the fact that she had once seen him.

Yang : " You were for us a caring big brother as much as Ryan is every day, albeit in your own way.",she said to him with a small chuckle.

Weiss :" We don't care if you are a faunus or something else, but if your current family wants you to stay with them that much, you should obviously hear them because they care about you.", she said to him calmly, albeit in a reassuring way.

Ruby : " We all care about you big bro, no matter how you look or are. ", she said to him calmly.

Blake :" If there's anything that I've learned about the family from my own is that family is where life begins and love never ends. You might have not been born in this family along with your older brother, but I'm sure that the love and affection won't end.", she said to him.

Ryan :" We all care about you younger bro. This is the place where you'll be forever accepted and loved no matter what your problems and plans for your life might be.",he said to him calmly as for the first time after many years in his depressed life, Sage's eyes were full of tears neither cold nor bitter like those of a mournful sorrow, but warm and bitter sweet, those were the tears of joy of the joy that someone could get from being close to the family that although he's not bound by blood to wants and wishes to give him the love and affection that he wanted that much in his life as he proceeded to basically cry loudly and with sobs that shook his body to its core whilst he was trying his best to hug them all, soaking in the purest form of the affection and love that his very being craved about that long.

(A/n : Just like that, but replace Tanjiro Kamado (the one crying in the middle) with Sage, whilst swap Hanako Kamado (right one) with Yang and Shigeru Kamado (left one) with Ryan.)

Summer : '*In her mind* To think that someone could hide inside him such sadness that only a family's affection could bring out it's just sad, depressing even. Poor boy, only if I knew earlier and didn't thought of it as if it was a dream.', she thought to herself with a soft sigh.

(A/n : Skip to here if you're not one for emotional parts since there is a risk of depression whilst reading them😭 )

(A/n : Stop the previous music and begin with this one instead)

Sage : "*sniffles* T-Thank you, * sniffles * all of you.", he said to them calmly, although in between sniffles the emotional roller-coaster of a moment was over and everyone - mainly him for the most part - had calmed down significantly.

Summer : " * smiles softly looking at him * No problem my son, if not, mostly me and Tai should be sorry since due to the fact that I haven't asked Ryan and you about what I had just seen that day, you wouldn't have to be that sorrowful today after all those years.", she said to him calmly, albeit in an apologetic way and was surprised by the fact that Sage had hugged her.

Sage :" Mom, if there's someone that should have been sorry that wouldn't have to be you, it would have to be me. If I had heard my older twins words about how much you and dad would care about me, I would have never let the thoughts that you wouldn't like me to haunt me on for so long. Finally, you cared about my older brother and the rest of my siblings, biological and adopted with love, care and affection that's enviable by every single person in the entire world. In a way, you cared about me as much as you cared for them, albeit in a strange way.", he said to her calmly with a small smile, basically melting in the hug.

Yang :" Okay, enough about the sweet yet heartwarming things, I'm pretty sure that I've gotten an intolerance to sucrose *shudders* what about we eat the lunch instead? ", she said to them calmly, trying to diffuse a potential second crying outburst from her older brother.

Luke/Ruby/Weiss/Blake/Sage/Ryan : " * in unison * YEAH!!!! ", they all said in unison as they had finally went to eat their meal and whilst doing so, they could all understand that Sage was enjoying his mom's cooking a lot, how did they know that? Well.... let's say that Sage was literally saying the word Umai (= tasty in Japanese) after he was eating each bite, similarly to a very well known fiery hearted Demon Slayer which had the result of him basically jump scaring the ever living daylights out of a sertain cat faunus.

(A/n : Just like that, but instead of Kyojuro Rengoku (RIP, you'll be missed 😢😭) with Sage. Also imagine that he was eating with a fork instead of chopsticks)

Sage : "* eats a bite* Umai, *eats another bite* Umai, *eats another bite* Umai...", he was saying whilst eating his food.

Ryan : " * looks at Sage with a deadpan face * Do you have to say the word tasty all the time?", he asked him politely with a bland, expressionless face.

(A/n : Just like this one, but replace Iroka Isshiki with Ryan)

Sage : "Is it that bad for someone to enjoy his meal?", he asked him politely after he had swallowed the food in his mouth. (A/n : No one was vored in this chapter, you can sleep safe 😅)

Ryan : " *shrugs slightly* Fair enough, except for the fact that kitty girl over there won't leave the ceiling if you don't", he said to him calmly.

Sage : " *sighs heavily* Fiiiiine", he groaned towards his older twin but tried to obey, but as soon as the next bite had came into contact with the taste buds, Ryan's comment towards him at the way he was eating had entered the one ear and went flying out of the other since another Umai had escaped him, making Ryan sigh and roll his bright hazel eyes. Well... at least, he wasn't that loud anymore.

(A/n : The time skip to once they had finished eating is brought to you by a chibi Rengoku and a chibi Sage, sitting side by side and eating whilst saying out loud....

Chibi Rengoku/Chibi Sage : " *in unison* UMAI!!!!!", not giving a care about who had heard them and who had not.)

Once they had eaten, it was time for them to get to sleep, not before Weiss, Ruby and Luke had gotten their second round of head pats by Ryan.

Sage : "* speaks telepathically to Ryan * Hey big bro, * sees that Ryan was hearing him * thank you so much, for everything.", he said to to him calmly, albeit in a grateful way.

Ryan : " *chuckles softly and speaks telepathically to Sage* No problem little bro. ", he said to him and had stopped the mental link for now since he could hear that Sage had fallen asleep, snoring slightly.
