[Senyuu] What is a BIRTHDAY?

Reminenscences

Since when did I became uninterested in the word "Birthday"? Ah yes, since that time...

*****

Chirp, chirp

"Ugh.."

Chirp, chirp

I woke up to the sound of morning birds. I looked out from the window to see the sun emerging from the horizon. With that, another day has begun.

To welcome the new day, I began tidying my bed followed by a cold shower. When I turned the knob, water started coming out from the nozzle. Any sleepiness left in my body was immediately exterminated, water trickling on my face. I opened my scarlet red eyes and stared at the water. Clear and ordinary. That's exactly what today will be. Another normal day.

I took my towel and ruffled my raven black hair dry before drying my body. I opened my wardrobe and reached out for a black tee, a worn lime green vest, a pair of black shorts and a piece a maroon cloth to wrap around my waist. As I started to put on my clothes, I caught a glimpse of a calendar in front of me. It had a number circled with red, May 4th.

Ah, it's my 12th birthday today, not that I care, though...

Tightening my belt, I opened my door. It's a start of a new day, yet as usual the first thing I saw was the sight of my father's back sitting on his research table. Wearing a slightly dirty white lab coat, his long hair tied to the back, he just sat there, working on his usual "experiments". His place was dim-litted, the crackling sounds from the lamp and the creaking of his wooden chair filling the room.

"Good morning, Father," I greeted. He turned his back to look at me before replying with an elated tone,"Ah, Shion! Good morning! What are you doing in such a early hour? Work starts at 9 a.m, right?" Looking at him with my natural dejected face, I lied,"Nothing much. I just thought I should go and hang out with Crea for a while before going to work."he looked at me, puzzled, as he adjusted his glasses. It was such a on bad lie, especially since Crea has never woken up early in the morning before. At least, that's what I thought until suddenly...

Bang!

"Good morning, Uncle! Sorry for the sudden intrusion!"cried a familiar high-pitched, girlish voice. I knew whose voice it belonged to. It was my childhood friend's. "Crea! What are you doing he-!"I reacted surprisingly, but I was cut off by him. "Happy Birthday, Shii-tan!"exclaimed him, congratulating me with a cheerful grin on his face. I flinched to his smile, my face reddening slightly, causing me to punch him right at his face by reflex. The impact caused his body to drop on the floor.

"Why..."

"Sorry, I couldn't help it."

I let out a little smile. I hate to admit it, but when I was glad that he remembered.

*****

"Hey, Shii-tan."

"What is it, Crea?"

"If you can have any one wish that can be fulfilled, what would it be?"

"Hm... I guess it would be to be always with all of you forever?"

"!! Shii-tan-!! Guh!"

"Ah, it's such a bliss."

...

May 4th, it was my 13th birthday. That day was the day when I started to hate the day of my existence. Yes, that's the day where my precious friend was murdered by the person who I used to call "Father", Rchimedes.

"YOU... WHAT ARE YOU DOING, RCHIMEDES!"

"Oi, oi. Is that how you call your father?"

TO BE CONTINUED?

I hope you enjoyed this part. I'm planning to make 3 to 4 parts. But yeah, this is fsnfic is about recapping all the events in Senyuu but in Ros' POV, with some extra stuffs and a slight twist.

Of course the date of the events isn't canon, haha. It's just a "what if everything bad happens during his Birthday?" thing I came up with!

I'll try to end this short story by May 4th!!
