You wake up to feel Rivers lightly shaking your shoulder.
"Hey, (Y/N)... Happy Birthday!" You hear Rivers softly say.
You turn over and open your eyes to see him and Kyoko standing there with little birthday hats.
"It's your first birthday with us, (Y/N)! Happy Birthday!" Kyoko says to you after you seem to wake up a little more.
After you wake up and get dressed, they apologize and explain to you that you won't have a great big birthday party, it'll just be the three of you. But that's fine with you, you love living and being with them.
You go about most of your day the same as any other day. Except Kyoko and Rivers keep slipping you gifts. A new pair of converse. A new, nice outfit. A new poster. A new laptop. A guitar chords chart? But you don't have a guitar. Hm.
Evening time, Kyoko and Rivers made you a very nice, homecooked meal. And bought you a nice little round cake, with your favorite color as the icing. And in white, written was Happy 8th Birthday, (Y/N).
You ate dinner, and cake, and thanked them profusely for everything. You've never had a birthday like this before, you've never even had a family before them.
"Oh, of course, but we have one more big present for you, (Y/N)" Rivers says with a big smile.
He leaves and comes back with an electric guitar, a lot like his. You know, his Seafoam Green Strat? Well, this one was almost exactly the same, but more blue, and without the stickers.
"I know you're still pretty small, but the harder chords and stuff you can learn lat- Woah!"
You run and give him this big hug, you'd never really done that before, so it took him by surprise.
"Thank you, Dad!" You say in excitement, not exactly meaning to call him Dad. It Kind of slipped, but it felt right at this point.
He hands the guitar over to Kyoko and crouches down, so he's down, closer to eye level to you.
"(Y/N), did you just call me Dad?"
You nod. "Yeah, I did!"
He gives you a big hug back and this.. this feels like family. Like the family you have always dreamed of and wanted.
All three of you eventually go back to your room and set you your guitar stand. Rivers lets you have an old amplifier of his, and a few of his picks as well.
It's getting late now, and you get all ready for bed.
When they tuck you in, you say another heartwarming line, this time, to both Kyoko and Rivers.
"You guys are the best Mom and Dad EVER"
