I Have A Crush On A Monster Boy

B-day D-day

Gumi's P.O.V

I finally got some rest after three and a half Weeks of non-stop training from everyone. It was one after another. Tei with Sixth sense in sensing life energy and helping me be able to see spirits and demons(Now I'm able to see ghosts which is cool but when I see the demons, it sucks. They're terrifying but I refuse to let the fear devour me). IA and Sonika with fighting. Mizki with speed and agility. Yuuma and Yohio with body strength. And Aoki and Galaco with spells and healing.
It was all tedious work but worth it. I haven't felt so alive.
Now, it's my birthday(A/n Sorry to interrupt, but I meant to say that Gumi&Gumiya's birthdays was supposed to be August 26 instead of July. I fixed that right away but if you're reading as I write this, it's August 26. I didn't notice I put July until I reread everything. I'm so sorry for the mistake and please forgive me. Please continue reading. Thanks so much for understanding)and I'm on my first mission by myself.
I was running as quick as a bullet when I sensed to different life energy pulses. A demon and spirit.
When I reached them, I saw the ugly insect like demon hover a little girl soul who was crying in an alley way. Good, then I'll be hidden from other people. So I won't look like a weird sixteen year old girl. And, I hate meditating so I'll be alive but I'm able to get out of my body(A little trick that Mizki taught me).
My ring began to melt and it formed into it's usual Katana. I ran and then jumped on the demon's head and killed it. Gaining life energy the demon had and had the Katana turn back to a ring on my right pointer finger.
The little girl collapsed onto her knees with wide eyes, tears falling down her pale cheeks. Kneeling in front of her, I began to comfort her as I hugged her.
"Shhh. Daijoubu daijoubu(it's alright). The scary monster is gone now. You're safe." I said softly to her. Slowly, she stopped crying and shaking.
"So what's your name?" I asked with a sweet voice.
"U-Uchiha Hana. I-I was lost and went looking for my big brother when that monster came out and attacked me. I was so scared. Onee-san, Arigatou." She said with a soft voice as she pulled away.
"Ie ie(no no), it's ok. I was just doing what I had to do. No one should have to through that." I said to her.
"Onee-san, are you an angle?" She asked. I laughed softly and ruffled her hair.
" Hahaha.Ie. I'm not sadly."
"Really? Oh well. I thought you were because of how you protected me and you're really pretty." Hana said with a smile. I blushed and continued to smile at her.
"So, why were wandering around?" I asked. The little girl then looked up at me with big brown eyes and said,
"I'm looking for Onii-chan. The last time I saw him we were in his car going to visit Okaa-san(mom) at her grave when everything turned black. When I woke up I was in the middle of a bunch of strangers in the shopping district we had passed. I was scared. Onii-chan was gone to. So I was looking for him." The little girl said as she began to cry again.
Then, it hit me to why she seemed familiar. I saw a picture of her and a young man recently on the news. They were both killed when their car was hit by a truck when the brother accidentally missed a red light. He must've moved on. But she didn't. I have to help her.
"Nee, Hana-chan, nakanaide(don't cry). I know where your big brother will be. Can you let me take you to him?" I asked sweetly as I placed my hand on her shoulder gently. She stopped crying and looked at me with big teary eyes that had hope shine in them.
"Hontoni(really)?" She asked with hope in it.
"Hai. So, want to see him?"
"Hai! Onee-san, Arigatou." She thanked with gratitude.
Smiling at her, I began to chant out the spell that helps spirits move on. When I finished, she thanked me once more and then she started to disappear in specks of glowing, golden orbs as they went up into the sky and disappeared.
I had tears fall from my eyes as prayed for the girl to be reunited with her big brother again in heaven.
I entered my house after a long morning of Demon Eater work, ready for a lazy afternoon when everyone greeted me. And Shiro popped out of my hoodie. I never noticed he was there and he surprised me. He's a sneaky little guy.
"Gumi-chan! Tangyoubi omedetou(happy birthday)!" They all exclaimed in unison as they all hugged me. Surprising me. I laughed and smiled, so happy that everyone has accepted me as family and are here with me. So I won't be lonely this birthday. Since my brother and wife are still overseas for work. I was happy. Even if they sorta broke into my brother's house. I swore I locked that door. But whatever, they didn't break anything.
"Minna, Arigatou(thank you everyone)." I said with tears of joy in my eyes.
Everyone then broke away and started handing me gifts. IA went first and gave me a crystal necklace that was shaped like a carrot. Sonika gave me a new pair of goggles. Yohio gave me a charm bracelet with musical charms, Tei gave me a kit of throwing knives(she has a knife fetish), Mizki gave me a pretty fan that had a sea imprint in it, Yuuma gave me a carrot plushy, Galaco gave me a pretty headband, and finally, Aoki gave me a little bag and whispered,
"I know you have a thing for him, so I made it for you. Don't show anyone." Aoki then hugged me and smiled.
When she pulled away, I looked inside the bag and my face went red. It was a handmade Gumiya doll! I mustn't show anyone.
"What did she give you Gumi-chan?" Yohio asked devilishly.
"Yea, what's in the bag?" Sonika asked smirking. Then, everyone looked at me curiously. I felt my face burn even more and then Aoki saved me.
"It's an anime figurine and she's just embarrassed that we know she's an Otaku now." Aoki said.
"Pfft. We all knew Gumi-chan. It's nothing to ashamed about. We all here love anime and manga." Sonika said and everyone else agreed.
"Minna, Arigatou(thank you everyone). It really means alot to me. I can't thank you all enough."I said. I was so happy I couldn't help but start crying again as I smiled. Then, I brought everyone in for a group hug. Then, I realized that Gumiya wasn't here.
When everyone broke away, I asked them,
"Where's Gumiya? Why isn't he here?"
"Hmmm? Oh, he said he was going out for a while so we don't know where he is exactly." Mizki said.
"Oh." I said a little sadly when I heard the doorbell buzz. Giving Aoki all my gifts, I asked her to put them in my room for me. She nodded and headed towards my room as I headed for the door.
When I opened it, I saw Gumiya standing there. My heart began to flutter as I lunged at him. Squeezing him in a hug.
"Hehe. Gu...Why is everybody here?" Gumiya asked as he pointed at everyone who were inside, watching Gumiya and I.
"Oh, they came by to wish me happy birthday." I said as I pulled away from him.
"Aaaah, if it isn't the our Birthday boy here to meet his Birthday girl. KAWAII." Sonika playfully taunted.
"Damare(shut up)!" Gumiya blurted out, flustered. Kawaii.
"Hehe. Oh well. I'll leave the birthday couple be. In the mean time, I'm going to get ready for sunset. Today is the Calm guys. I can't wait for an all nighter beat down." Sonika said with a fierce excitement as she punched her palm, a grin on her face.
Everyone smiled at Gumiya and I as they began to leave.
"Pfft. I have no idea why but Sonika has been picking on me.more often. I know she means well but give me a break." Gumiya sighed out. I started to laugh at what just happened and so did Gumiya.
"Ahahaha. Oh boy Gumiya, you're hilarious."
"Haha, Me!? Look at you. Your face is red."
"Huh!? It is!?" Oh no. That's bad. I then turned around and slapped my cheeks so blush would go down. It's embarrassing.
"Gumi-san, daijoubu(are you alright)?" Gumiya asked.
"H-hai. I'm just a little flustered that's all. Everyone was just being so nice and saying such nice things, I'm a little embarrassed. Oh! Tanjyoubi omedetou(happy birthday)!" I exclaimed and hugged him once more. He's so warm. His arms are also so strong around me. Haaa. I wish I could stay like this forever.
Yet, I pulled away, giving him a chance to speak again. Looking at me. Gosh, I have no idea why he's so attractive and why I keep falling for him over and over again everytime I see him.
Hehe. It's because you love him stupid. I thought to myself.
"Arigatou. Gumi. You too. Say, how about I take you out today for your birthday like the last time I took you out."
"A d-date!?" I stuttered becoming self conscious. Then, my heart began to ache as is started pounding itself against my chest with force.
"Huh!? No! Uh, like a hangout I thought. But, if you want to call it a date go ahead. We're just friends anyway right? So whatever it's called doesn't matter. I mean, if it makes you happy then I'm especially happy. I am doing this all for you." Gumiya mumbled as he was mixing up his words. He looked away, pouting with a red face as he scratched the back of his head.
I smiled with my face red, and began to laugh.
"Huh!? What's so funny!?" Gumiya asked angrily. Haha. He's embarrassed. kawaii.
"Nothing. Let's go." I said as I grabbed my money bag from the hallway table stand, and grabbed Gumiya's hand. Putting on my old goggles(I left Sonika's new one in my room) I dragged Gumiya out the door, and locked it.
"So, where are you taking me?" I asked as I got on his bike.
Gumiya got on and put on his goggles and started the bike's motor.
"I don't know to me honest. Maybe an amusement park. The movies. I don't know. Hey, have you seen Shiro?" Gumiya asked. At the mention of his name, the albino ferret popped out of my sweater and started to lick my cheek. He then went back inside and I felt him get comfortable inside my hood. Kawaii.
"Heh. So I see you've been watching over her huh. Don't steal her from me little guy." Gumiya said.
"Huh? What do you mean Gumiya?" I asked.
"Nothing. Let's just go have fun." Gumiya brushed off as he sped off with me holding onto him tightly as we left for a fun day.

~Time skip~

The whole day went by and I couldn't stop smiling. It was the most fun I've ever had in a while.
He took me to that amusement park he mentioned earlier and there we rode all the rides. Then, we played a bunch of arcade games. Ate. And just had a fun time. I would do it over and over again if I could. Just hanging out with Gumiya as I would occasionally hold his hand, making him blush and shiver for a second.
I want to tell him. I'm going to tell him. That is my present to him. I hope he accepts it. But today is the day I tell him how I feel. That should be appropriate right? Yea. In just a bit. I'll tell him. I thought to myself as I sat with him on the grassy lot where I first saw him at the beginning of summer. Where I learned about his secret and where a whole other world became my mine.
I'm grateful for everything that's happened. I haven't been any happier. If none of this hadn't happened I wouldn't have met everyone and who knows. If I wasn't with Gumiya that day, this world would be destroyed. Yet, more importantly, it's given me the chance to fall in love with someone. Not just anyone, but Gumiya. Who needed me the most and I needed him. I love this boy and no one can replace him. No one.
It was just like last time. Just Gumiya and I sitting on the grass watching the sunset as we talked. It was just Gumiya and I. Along with Shiro on my shoulder as I rubbed his soft head.
"Nee, Gumiya, have you ever went to the summer festival here in this town? It's always so much fun and the fireworks are the best. They're so big and breathtaking. I didn't get to go this year because I had training to do but maybe next year, we both can go together. Ne?" I asked.
"U-un. I'd like to go with you. I didn't go to it yet. I mean, why go without you? It wouldn't be fun. So I didn't go this year. But next year I will. Because you'll be with me then." Gumiya said as he smiled at me. I felt my face burn and tears begin to form. Looking down, I smiled.
"Promise. Promise me we'll go together." I ordered him as I stuck out my pinkie. Looking at him earnestly. He then intertwined his with mine and said,
" I promise." As he looked into my eyes. We dropped our hands and held them together as we slowly started to move closer to each other, our faces coming closer, but then, our moment was broken when we heard an evil laugh from behind.
     There, stood Merli. Making this B-day Turn into a D-day.
