"Big Broder?" Asked Lill from her spot on the edge of her brothers bed.
"Mhm" he mumbled as she was the one stirring him from his sleep, "its your birthday today, Broder..."
Oa great, thought Vash to him self, another one just like last year...Last year was a bad birthday for him, he had told Rode-Austria that he loved him...The damn noble had called him a child and reminded him that he was with Hungary. Well he wasn't a child then and he certainly wasn't now! But...Austria was no longer with hungary, now Austria was all by himself, should he tell bring the topic up with Austria again...or maybe was throwing a party for Vash this evening, she invited Austria, thinking that they were still friends, he hadn't had the heart to tell her that ever sense his last birthday when he had confessed his love to the Brunette, they had not talked.
"yes lilli today is my birthday, and we have a party tonight but how about a picnic for lunch just you and I?"
"yes that would be lovely Bruder! I will go make breakfast, oa! And your present is on the chest at the end of your bed...open it after I leave, ok?"
""Of course little one. Anything for you and I'm sure that I will love it." he said with a smile in his bright green eyes. Lilli smiled back a full and bright happy, smile. Then she left the room
After Lilli left the room, Vash started to get out of his pink frilled pajamas that lilli had given him one day for helping her out and buying her, her ribbon. He slipped on his green slacks, black tank top, his brown boots, but refrained from putting on his berret just yet. It took around a year for his berret to wear out, and Lilli knew this, so every year for his birthday she would throw him a ball, and make him a new white berret. He looked him self over in the mirror, his blonde hair fell just about half way down his neck, and went around in a smooth straight bob, in fact all of his hair was very manageable save what he called his curl, only a few countries knew about it and they were sworn to secrecy. His green eyes were dull and sad this morning, a bit darker then there usual bright green, he hated his birthday, just hated it! But he loved his little sisters efforts to make it special and different each year, this year it was a ball, with gowns and dancing, he didn't particularly like getting dressed up or dancing, but Lilli loved both and his birthday was one day that she felt she could make him happier than any other day, it was the one day a year that she could devote just to making her older brother happy. He really did feel that she didn't need to spend time making her happy, after all her just being his younger sister was more than enough for him. But she did like to throw parties for him and he useably ended up having a good time so why not?
He went to the end of his bed to open the small, round, purple box, it was the exact color of Lilli's ribbon and she used it every year, because he liked it so much. Indeed it was a new berret! Fresh,white,clean, and smelled of Lilli, for she had spent weeks cleaning, carding, and finishing the wool in order to even be able to start constructing the berret. Vash quickly put on the berret in order to cover his curl and headed down stairs.
