I Love You,Hybrid Child

Birthday Surprises

(A/N: Like I said I am soooooooooo sorry)

            Nowaki's P.O.V

I couldn't hear anything after Hiro-kun left. It sort of left me empty inside after him leaving. I know he will come back, because of his promise. So all I have to do is be patient and everything will be fine.

I yawned.

Well maybe I should just...rest my...eyes...for a bit.

At that, I just went straight to dreamland.

        *Timeskip to an hour*

          Hiroki's mom P.O.V

I watched as Hiroki went to sleep. I silently closed the door. For some reason I had a nagging feeling swarm me about the walls. Almost as if something is hiding behind them. Call it paranoia or mothers' intuition, but I believe something is wrong.

I started to creep next to the walls to try to hear something, or even feel something for that matter. As I got to the end of the hallway I noticed something, a sort of small split in between a wall. A ran my fingers in it, not caring if I get a splinter or not.

I then heard something unbelievable. Snoring.

It got even louder at this one area. "Time to figure this out."

I grabbed the split and pulled as hard as I could. It was actually pretty easy to be pulled open. As I looked down at the figure that made the noise, I gave a scream.

               Hiroki's P.O.V

It was a few moments after my mom closed the door. I wanted to wait for her to get to her and dad's room. After they would be at least sleep, I could go get Nowaki and bring him to my room to sleep throughout the night. I was planning out what to do after he would be in here and tomorrow morning. My parents do tend to go out early, but school is the only problem I have right now. I can't just leave him in my secret room all the time, he could get bored. Maybe if I can-

*AAAAHHHHHH!!!!*

I bolted out my bed as soon as I heard my mom's all familiar scream. I made a mad dash and saw my mom where I wasn't happy where she was. There stood my dad, right next to me. "Hey what's going on here?!" Dad said puzzled. Then, he looked at mom and walked to her." Honey, what's the-."

Dad stopping mid-sentence wasn't a good sign. "Who is this child, and how long has he been here?"

Mother turned to him frantic."It's that demon...THING that Hiroki brought yesterday because it was injured. Now I definitely know that we are cursed. We should burn it, then we could-" "NO"

My parents looked at me as I rushed to Nowaki. "It was me, I was the one that brought Nowaki here. I wanted to help him."

My mom shook her head in fear." Dear look, now he's named it. We need an exorcist."

I stomped my feet. "Mom. I'm not possessed by the devil himself. I thought maybe I could kee-" "NO"

My mom had a scowl on her face. "Your father will throw that abomination away tomorrow."

I gawked "But Mom?!" "No.Buts" said mom "You shouldn't have done this, it could've been a bad omen. I told you to get rid of it as soon as I saw that thing." She looked to Outo-san "Get rid of it." She hissed. Then she walked away to the room.

'This isn't fair, my mom doesn't trust me. Why does it have to be like this. I just wanted another friend like Akihiko.'

I stomped away to my room and slammed the door in anger. I flipped onto my bed and smothered my face in my pillow, while screaming in it like the child I am until I went to sleep.

             *~Timeskip~*

The next morning was a quiet morning. Although, the aftermath from last night still frustrated mother and Hiroki. Hiroki had no choice, he had already felt sad about not keeping his promise to Nowaki about taking care of him keeping. This made him feel horrible, and he decided on the first time forever he wouldn't do what his parents told him too. But for now, he would have to act as if he wasn't upset.

And that would be difficult.

               Hiroki's P.O.V

In the morning, the family breakfast was awfully chatty. Mother and Father had thought about doing something like a bbq before the summer. Many delicacies,family members, and friends would be bombarding our house and outside to the fullest. This isn't what I had in mind, I don't like most of my family. They're too social and try to get me involved in sports like any boy would want. Except I don't want to do anything else. I want to do something with books like literature like Akihiko-kun wants. This is why he is my best and only friend cause he is the only one who gets me. My thoughts had been interrupted as the phone had rung. My mother got up to answer it as I continued to eat my egg.

"Oi,Hiroki. The little boy named Akihiko wants to know if you want to have a play date at his place." My mother had yelled to me from almost a different room.

'What a coincidence.' I thought

"Yeah mom, I wanna go. I'm heading out right now." I should back

I took my bag filled with books and headed out of the house with a quick shout of "Goodbye" to both of my parents.

           Mini-Akihiko's P.O.V

I wanted to talk to Hiroki today. Since I wasn't able to give his birthday present yesterday at last nights dinner, I wanted to give it to him today...plus hanging out with him is a good excuse to get away from my family and half-brother.

In the distance, I heard the rapid footsteps of a person. I looked to see it was Hiroki. I searched through my bag and pulled out the present that was rapped in a red ribbon.

"Happy late birthday" I said "Sorry I couldn't give it to you yesterday."

He was panting, and he lie down in the grass "Arigato...Akihiko-kun".

I gave him the present and saw him untie the ribbon. He looked at the front cover of the book and smiled bright.

"Wow. I've been looking for this book at the bookstore. But they haven't had it in stock. Domo Arigato."

The novel was called Over the Garden Wall. It was about two brothers trying to get back to their own home, while traveling through a small town in the forest. They meet new and exciting creatures along the way as well.

"Your welcome"
