======================================================================================================================================================

It was here, it was June 30th, which meant today was Zeke's birthday. The whole Orphanage got ready to surprise him with gifts and different items the boy might've liked.

If they were going to be honest, their first impression of the boy was not a positive one. His weird white hair, and the fact he used sunglasses inside really unsettled them. It took them a full two weeks to actually appreciate Zeke's personality and his kind and caring soul. So it was no wonder that they wanted to give him something good, especially after last year's fiasco. They had all prepared and thought of what to give the boy, until of course, they weren't sure what to give him.

Zeke was a tricky person, always uphill and smiling he was the hardest person to give something to. Specially because he was modest and humble, didn't exactly like attention or having a grandiose birthday party. It was especially hard to choose what to buy him when you had no hints, his room was empty, he didn't seem to have any hobbies and for the most part he spent his whole time reading, so they all gifted him books, something which they regretted later, because in a few days he had read all the books and they now just sat on top of his pile of books ㅡ gathering dust.

But not this year ㅡ Oh no, this year they had clues as to what the boy liked. A few days before his birthday the caretakers had peeked inside Zeke's room and saw him wearing a mask and blowing bubbles with a bubble blower. It wasn't much, but it was something. Armed with the experience of last year's failure they were prepared to give him gifts which the boy would actually enjoy. After four years of failed attempts ㅡ giving him clothes, plush-toys, books and pocket money they now had some hints as to what to give him.

The first hint: he liked simple and interactive toys, no plush toys, nor action figures. The second hint: he liked accessories more than he liked clothes, masks, bracelets, necklaces. Third and last hint, he liked practical things, pocket money, maybe a watch, things that he could use. The last and most important, buying him books is a waste of money, after all he only had to read them once.

With this in mind the three head Caretakers had bought him three separate gifts with the help of the children with the addition of a fourth, and skillfully hid three in different areas of the orphanage ㅡ fearing that the boy would be able to find them all at once if they were in the same place. The last gift would be given to him first thing in the morning.

It was no surprise that they were excited, they couldn't wait to see Zeke's face when he received something he wanted, maybe then he'd stop disappearing on showings, the caretakers thought, much to their disappointment, that was probably not going to happen any time soon.

They all waited for him to come down to the dining room. He was wearing his pajamas, a white t-shirt with black shorts, hanging in his mouth was his bubble blower as he blew soap bubbles. He looked at the rest of the people in the dining room with the corner of his eyes, they tried to act normal, but it was hard knowing what would happen next, their acting felt stiff and forced, something the smiling ninja noticed. He sat down on his place in the table and then took one of the last trays filled with food. He was always the last to come down.
