feat. you deadass preparing your gift in front of the birthday boi
“woah, it sure is lively here...” (‘too lively...’)
you mumbled, stopping by the entrance.
tatsuya only smiled, “well, they're preparing for a party after all.” you blinked, “a party? that explains.” you stared at the busy crowd as tatsuya led you in. “yeah, it's someone's birthday today.”
you stopped, horrified, “it's a birthday party? and you didn't tell me? you jerk, i don't have a gift with me right now!” you shook your head (“i won't come in, tatsuya. it's gonna hurt my rich pride, i. won't.”).
tatsuya chuckled and grabbed your arm, dragging you. “that doesn't matter, that kid doesn't accept our gifts so it's basically useless to try to buy him a gift.” he said with a sad smile as you paused, “so it's a kid? and he doesn't accept his birthday gifts?” tatsuya nodded, “yeah, he doesn't. such a weird kid, right?”
“oh? tatsuya, you've arri–” the both of you turned to see a surprised reina. “oh my, i must've surprised you very much...” you trailed off, scratching your head.
“is that you, y/n..?” reina immediately dropped the banners and raced to you, grabbing your hands with a smile. “oh my, is that really you? you looked prettier!” she showers you compliments as you only giggled. “stop teasing me...” you jested as the both of you giggled.
“aah, come in, come in! we prepared a lot of food, we're having a party today, to be honest. well, i'm sure tatsuya already filled you with the details.” she trailed off, giving tatsuya a quick glance.
“yeah, he told me it's a birthday boy. aah, but i don't have a gift with me. tatsuya just dragged me from our supposed grocery shopping and didn't tell me where we were going.” you explained as reina giggled, “aah, well, that's fine. the birthday boy doesn't accept any gifts anyways.”

“yeah, that's what i heard.” you said as reina nodded with a smile, “such a stubborn kid.”
“oi, reina, what's taking you so–” a red haired male appeared from behind reina, holding a box of party poppers. his eyes suddenly widened when he noticed your presence, “woah– what is y/n l/n doing here?” (“oi, haruya, she's our guest! stop being rude!”)
“y/n l/n? she's here?” another male followed nagumo, “oh, suzuno!” you greeted and waved. “woah... it feels refreshing to see your faces.” you grinned. (“aah, i also have to go see hitomiko (san) later...”)
“so? where's the birthday boy?” you asked, trying to search amongst the crowd. “aah... about that...” reina only sighed with a frown.
“he won't come out of his room at all...”
—
it's already past lunch time and all of you were still waiting for the birthday boy to come out.
you were already given a short briefing (by ryuuji) about the birthday boy and his name turned out to be kariya masaki.
apparently, kariya became an orphan at the age of eleven. his father left him at the orphanage because he simply couldn't look after kariya anymore. too shocked, this led kariya to distance himself from the others and force himself to be independent.
“nope, i'm not having this. if we let him be, we'll have to starve til night. i'm too hungry to wait.” you said, clapping your hands as the boys looked at you. “i'll go see him.” you announced as suzuno sighed, “will he listen to you, though?”
you only sighed with a smile, flipping your hair in a jesting manner, “i'll make him. i'm basically a mother of twenty kids, compared to those big babies, this is nothing.” nagumo scoffed, teasing you, “do you think he'll even let you in with that face of yours?” tatsuya flinched and nudged nagumo (“don't do it, haruya, don't do it”).

“i don't think so. maybe you'll give him a scare instead.” nagumo grinned at you as you slowly turned to him with a look (oh dear, looks like haruya's down). “oh? looks like someone's asking for me to boil their bone marrows and mash the hell out of it and feed it to the rats? who do you think it is, nagumo?” nagumo winced and hid behind tatsuya, “n– not me...”
“well, let's see what you can do, l/n.” midorikawa said as you smiled and winked, walking upstairs and arriving in front of kariya's room. you made your presence known by knocking twice.
“who is it? i told you already, i won't come down.” you heard and chuckled. “it's me, can i come in?” you heard a few ruffles before the door clicked open, it revealed kariya peeking from behind the door.
“hey.” you waved with a small smile. “aren't you kiyama tatsuya's manager?” (‘oh look at this direspectful brat’) kariya asked as you nodded with a smile, bending down to kariya's height. “that i am.”
“oh, so you were the one who switches between 7 members as your boyfriend every day?” you blinked and pouted, “is that how the media describes me now?”
kariya only pursed his lips and opened the door widely, letting you enter his room. you looked around after closing the door shut, you noticed a soccer ball on top of the drawer. “do you play soccer?”
kariya flinched and shook his head, “no! of course not, who would play such a lame sport?” you only chuckled, taking note of his leg muscle. “yes, yes...”
it was silent in the room, with you sitting on the chair in kariya's room and him just standing still, looking down. “... are they still waiting for me?” he asks as you nodded. “yes, they've been waiting.”
“why? this is stupid, i don't get why they want to celebrate my birthday.” he said, clenching his small fists.
you only stared down at him and sighed, moving over to sit on top of his bed. “come here, i'm gonna show you something cool.” you said, patting the seat next to you.
kariya huffed and begrudgingly obeyed. he crossed his arms and raised his brows at you. you smiled and brought your hands together in front of him. suddenly, a shimmering blue light emerged from your hands and revealed a shining necklace with a mini soccer ball.
kariya gasped and looked up at you, “how'd you do that?” you only winked and gave the necklace to him, “that's a secret.” you said and stood, walking towards the door. “now, let's go join them and eat.”
kariya frowned and gritted his teeth, “no, i don't want to! it's the day i was left in here, that's not something worth celebrating!” he yelled as you turned and kneeled in front of him, patting his head. “you may think that way but those guys downstairs are celebrating this day as your day of birth and as the day you came here and became a part of their family.” you said as kariya pursed his lips, “family..?”
you nodded with a gentle smile, “yes, family. they wish to replace the bad memories with good ones, and to complete that, they need you downstairs. won't you help them out?” you asked as kariya sniffled and nodded.
you only smiled and picked him up, leaving his room and descending the stairs.
“why is it dark..?” kariya asked as you smiled.
the lights suddenly turned on and a loud boom reached your ears. confetti started to fall upon the two of you.
kariya opened his eyes to see the rest of his family, grinning:
“happy birthday, masaki!”
we 👏 have 👏 reached 👏 1k reads! cheers to that!
to celebrate this,
i have decided that from

The years 2086 and life is hella awesome. in about the year 2065 a new fun toy came out they called this VR. but VR isn't just a toy anymore. Vr changed the life of everyone in America but really all over the world . the thing that made VR awesome was that you can know go to work from your house laying in the bed with a VR helmet on making twice as much money for the hours you put in. you can know go to school from your house learn for a full 6 hours in VR but than when you get out its only been one hour in real life . there are so many uses that people can use VR for. of course military personal use it aswell to train there minds and stuff. But to me this really doesn't mean much. The real beauty in VR is the gaming i love gaming with a passion me and my family are gonna get this awesome game called new hope online. This game is a mmo RPG it of course has the typical RPG quest adventures and a lot of other things that i cant explain. but generally I'm super excited for only 2 things in this game. The first is that there is a cohesive and reactive world. Ok ill just give you a small example. so lts say im an adventurer and im killing goblins i go every single day for the next 3 year with 4 of my freinds to kill goblins after a while if you hunt destroy or do anything to envirment fror prlonged periods of time the enviroment will etheir act violently and try to destroy you or the worldwill remove that resource from that area. which i think makes total since. ok last but not least you know how nearly every single mmo lets you play as the adventurer only. Well thats changed. In this mmo you are allowed to be a monster if you want thats freaking awesome i love it. The object of a monster is to become strong enough to etheir, make a dungeoun, own a clan/ tribe. generally there are apperently alot of ways to win as a monster but since this is a mmo of course theres no real winning. But as a monster everybody is aiming for the top. another objective is to kill the demon king and take hismantle as hahaha demon king. oh i totally forgot to introduce my self my name is roin . like coin but with a r instead of an c . this is gonna be my story so peace out and read the story . * the star before a sentence means me as an author is talking ok this is explaining meanings RPG=Role Playing Games MMO=Massively Multiplayer Online Vr = virtual reality
