Hate.

On a strangely peaceful early morning, a young boy gets woken up by the small rays of light shining through the window. He groans and rubs his eyes as he sits up, nearly falling out of bed as he reaches over to close the blinds.

After getting rid of his eye-assaulting enemy, the young boy slowly gets out of bed and throws in a bunch of clothes in his drawer, making sure they at least vaguely match.

He leaves his room, immediately being pushed over by his slightly older twin as he rushed down the hall.

"It's my birthday, my birthday~!"

He sings as he runs and dances down the hall, leaving his younger brother on the floor. He sighs and looks down at his hand, pulling a tiny splinter out of his finger.

A man and woman walk out of their room, still in their morning clothes. They each yawn and try to walk down the hall, but trip over the small child as they do.

"Y/N, what are you doing on the floor??"

"I swear this child is going to drive mad..."

Y/N: "B-But Mom, I-It was Esther-"

Mom: "Save it....I can't deal with your excuses right now. Hurry up and come downstairs. It's your brother's birthday."

The two continue walking down the hall, with Y/N's father shaking his head.

Y/N: "But....but it's my birthday too..."

Y/N tears up a little bit as he talks to himself. After only a few seconds, he wipes his tears and heads downstairs, finding his parents and his brother in the living room. He can't seem to look them in the eye as they smile and laugh together.

Mother: "Look at you...growing so big."

Father: "Keep growing at this rate and you'll end up replacing me!"

Esther giggles as his mother kisses his cheek.

Esther: "Mama, Papa, where's my present??"

Mother: "So eager...can't even wait for breakfast?"

Esther: "Present, present!"

Father: "Okay, fine. I'll go get your present."

He gets up and leaves through the front door, meaning the present was probably hidden in their shed or one of their cars.

Y/N plays with his fingers before walking over to his mother, grabbing her sleeve.

Y/N: "M-Mom...? Where's my present...?"

Mother: "Oh...well, sweetie...the present Esther wanted this year was a bit expensive, so we weren't able to get you one. We'll make sure to get you a present next year, okay?"

Y/N lets his hands fall down to his sides.

They say that every year, don't they?

Y/N jumps slightly as he hears a voice, but can't seem to find anyone when he looks around. He looks confused for a bit, but brushes it off when his father comes back into the house with a somewhat large box. He places it on the table, waiting for Esther to open it himself.

He bounces in his seat and wastes no time tearing the tape off. Inside the cardboard box was a brand new PlayStation 3 (Anyone else remember getting one of these or an Xbox for the first time? 😭) Along with games to play as well.

Y/N looks into the box, his eyes widening with excitement. He reaches for one of the games, but Esther smacks his hand away.

Esther: "Hey! This is my present, not yours! Don't touch it!"
