Connections [Discontinued]

04-03-17 [Special chapter]

04-03-17 , Morning

"He's still asleep." Isabella whispered as Anika nodded, she and Aki staring at the oven. They were waiting for the cookies to bake, if you look closer they spell "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARTIN!". Well, since Isabella is a very loving sister, she had her phone video them LIVE in Facebook. Great, right?

"Good, good." Anika smiled, waiting as the timer was almost on 0. "Who's going to surprise him waking up?"

Unknown to the Italian, Isabella and Aki gave each other knowing looks.

"You." They said in sync, smirking. Anika looked at them, then shrugged.

"Eh, why not." She spoke, and the two mischievously snickered. The oven dinged, making Anika get some oven muffs and open the window, taking the cookies out. Isabella sniffed the cookies, humming in delight.

"They smell so good~" Isabella said, grinning. "I knew I could count on you, Anika."

"Yep~"

"So, is Anika going now or not?" Aki asked. Isabella held a finger up, feeling the temperature of the cookies.

"Oh, sure, yeah." Isabella finally said. They looked at Anika, who nodded and went upstairs. They grinned.

"Hehe, she actually did it.."

"She's a little oblivious, eh?"

"Blessings for your birthday, blessings for your everyday..~" Anika muttered as she got to Martin's room, opening the door. Thankfully it didn't creaked, that would've ruined the surprise. She crept up to his bed, seeing that he was deeply asleep. "Nyehe.."

She placed the cookie she had over his nose, tilting her head as the male somehow twitched in his sleep.

"Ehh.. Martin, wake up, it's your birthday." She spoke, poking his nose as she bent down. Their faces were a good 5 inches apart, but she was oblivious to that. She then placed the cookie over his mouth. "Eat this if you're awake."

Her eyes widened as he did took a bite of the cookie. "Woah, you are awake. Anyway, wake uuuup!~ It's your birthday!~ Tillyke med fødelsdagen! Buon compleanno!~ お誕生日おめでとうございます!!!"

"... did all that mean happy birthday?" He asked, opening one eye. Anika nodded, laughing. "Well, uh, thanks, I guess.."

"Now get up!" She grinned, standing upright as she was bent down earlier. He just chuckled, sitting up from his bed. She gave him the half-bitten cookie, to which he took and ate in one bite. "Eh, let's go!"

She took his arm, makig him follow her outside. He just chuckled as they walked downstairs.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Isabella screamed, holding the tray of cookies.

"С днем рождения~" Aki waved, chuckling. She was holding Isabella's phone, still having a Live in Facebook. People were now commenting and liking the live video.

"Haha, thanks." Martin laughed, seeing the cookies that spelled out "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARTIN!".

"Why is it so noisy early in the—" Beatrice stopped from behind Martin, a moment of awkward silence enveloping them. She then grinned. "Oh my god, I almost forgot! Happy birthday!"

"Thanks." Martin chuckled. Isabella gave the tray to Anika, then took her phone from Aki.

"Woohoo! People says happy birthday, bro." Isabella said, showing Martin her phone. He smiled.

"Well, thanks to you guys!" He laughed, waving at the camera.

"I'm going to end this." Isabella said, thumb hovering over the "end" button. "Last remarks?"

"Happy birthday Martin! We love you!" Beatrice said happily, hugging her brother.

"Again, happy birthday." Aki waved.

"Same for me, happy birthday bro! Love ya!" Isabella laughed. They all glanced at Anika, who laughed as well.

"Well~ happy birthday, and, uh jeg elsker deg?" Anika shrugged, laughing as Beatrice and Aki stared at her wide eyed. The twins didn't know why. Isabella ended the video, laughing.

"Let's celebrate!"

04-03-17 , Evening

After they had eaten at a restaurant as their celebration and had fun at Jump Yard, they were all tired but happy when they got home. Anika and Aki retired for the day, feeling extremely tired as they looked like rabbits while at Jump Yard.

"Hey, sis, why did you stare at Anika weirdly when she said those last words?" Martin asked as he took a bite of a cookie. Beatrice chuckled, smiling as she shook her head. "Hmm?"

"She said I love you." She replied, still smiling. "I swear, I don't know about that girl.. but yeah, that's what she said. Well, good night."

As Beatrice went to her shared room, Martin was red-faced. Did she really say that?

He went to his room, plopping on his bed. Taking his phone, he texted her.

Blue: Did you really mean that?

It took a moment for her to reply.

Snow: Mean what?

Blue: what you said during those last remarks

Again, it took her a moment to reply

Snow: I guess, yeah, I meant it

Blue: Oh, uh

With a facepalm, he went to google translate to know something. After translating it, he sent it to her

Blue: Det overraskede mig, men jeg elsker også dig

He swore that he heard a muffled squeal right from the next room to his right. Chuckling, he closed his phone and went to sleep.

[A/N]

To say, this special chapter is out of the actual timeline of the Connections universe. This was a special chapter since the person who I based Martin on is having his birthday today. Maybe this was just a teaser, maybe it wasn't, haha. The next chaoter might not be up for a few days since I'm having a hard time thinking of what to happen. Anyway, hope ya enjoyed the chapter!! I know it's short but it was meant to be short ahah—

Translations:

Tillyke med fødelsdagen / Buon compleanno / お誕生日おめでとうございます / С днем рождения
= they all mean Happy Birthday

Det overraskede mig, men jeg elsker også dig
= that surprised me, but I love you too
