@tsukinoiri asked: he had heard about it from theon & he wasn't sure why neither of his parents had said anything about it before, but it sounded nice & his papa should have nice things! he didn't have any money to get anything, but his mama had laughed at him when he told him & had helped him get what he wanted, so little axel was able to get everything he had in mind.
( he had asked if he should have gotten him something too, but reno had only grinned & told him that he could get him something for mother's day ; it wouldn't be fair to papa if ma got presents for two holidays, right? )
so now axel was peering into his father's room, waiting for the right time, gasping in delight when he saw his papa finally push away from his desk. he quickly dashes inside, careful not to trip & drop what he carried in his arms.
"happy father's day, papa!" | đŚË ࣪ unprompted.
a long morning is spent in his office, going over paperwork for the month. the family has plans for the day, but both he and reno have decided to let axel sleep in this morning. the last couple of days have been busy, running all around town to finish errands and even when reno returns with axel in the early evening, the boy refuses to go to bed until casper is back and they're all home.
carefully raising the hot cup of tea to his lips, casper takes one last glance over the ledger before he decides he's finished. the decision is made mostly due to sensing axel by the doorway. lowering his cup, casper pushes his chair back to stand, stretching his arms up above his head, back cracking.
man, he was getting old, wasn't he?
"happy father's day, papa!"
"thank you, mon lapin," casper says, crouching down to hold his hands out to help steady axel and the gift, brows rising with surprise. "is this for me?"
