I know that Lotus Aghora and Peacock Shiva hasn't have an official birthday but I decided to give them one ^^ and I hc they share it, but Agora is one year old

This is Agora's side, because last year I did another ffic (Birthday Party... you can find it here in as well) but is more Shiva centered. Anyway, here I showed some hcs about this cinnamon roll. His family, how he sees them and as well the bond he has with Shiva. I think it has some angst but still I hope I could show well how she enjoys and loves his family and a normal life.

The second chapter is Shiva's side, a bit more "ship" thing to be honest, but still about her birthday. There I wanted to show the kind of relationship she has with Deathmask and Shura (lately I had think in them, they are my OT3) and the other two friends that are around them (Aiolos and Aphrodite) Some ideas were thanks to a friend who loves to bother the crab as much as I do :D

Once again, English isn't my first language, and I finish this asap so I couldn't ask help for mistakes.

AGORA

When the sun entered to the windows of the room, the Lotus Saint was still sleeping. Something totally weird on him; Agora was always awake at five in the morning to meditate and train, but this time was different. After all, he wasn't in the Sanctuary. He stood up a bit after nine in the morning to then go out of the room, where he hit his head in the frame of the door. Not so hard to don't keep going, but enough to make two kids laugh.

"What now?" Agora acted with a fake angry. "Are you laughing at me, Aadit?" he quickly held a little boy who didn't stop laughing. "What about you, Isha?" now he hugged a girl that looked younger than the boy.

"Uncle, you hit your head again!" Aadit said smiling widely.

"Oh, well, when I lived here I wasn't that tall. In my other home the doors are way taller than me." he smiled to leave them in the floor. "Anyway, tell to grandpa I will go in few minutes. I need to take a shower."

"Yes, uncle." the girl smiled with those big brown eyes.

The kids run thru the hall to some stairs that went directly to an open garden in the middle of the house. Agora sighed and moved quickly to the bathroom to take said shower, especially with that weather he wanted one with cold water and maybe that would help to woke him up, even if the hit in his head was more than enough. After enough time to wash his hair and then dry it with a towel, Agora decided to fix it in a bun and go directly to the kitchen. Of course, the table was set but the family wasn't around. He sighed and felt bad thinking that, again, took too much time in the shower. It wasn't easy for him, after all it was very small in comparison with the one in the Sanctuary. But while he began to look for his favourite tea, he could hear someone entering.

"Good morning, father." he smiled.

"Good morning, my son." a man came close with the arms open. "Come here, let me give you a hug for today."

Agora didn't wait to receive such warm hug and even left up his own father. After so much time without being at home, the Lotus Saint was indeed happy to be with them in his birthday. He didn't ask anything but that to his master for that special day. Agora thought was fair after celebrating his birthdays only in Greece and not even counting when he was training for his armour.

"Happy Birthday, my boy."

"Thank you, father."

"May the Gods bless you."

The tall man decided to prepare the kettle while his father was looking for that special tea brew that Agora enjoyed so much. He then moved to look for something to eat. Agora didn't want to eat too much because he knew that in the night he would have a big party with lots of food and all his family around. So for an instant he doubted to eat or wait, after all he knew how to spend days without anything but water. In the end he decided that a cup of tea would be enough.

Both men sat down in the table with some hot mugs on their hands. Agora smelled the tea and then smiled widely to give the first sip without even blowing the heat of it. He felt how his nose opened and how the tongue burned a bit but not enough to don't let him enjoy.

"Beta, you should take some of that tea when you go back to Greece."

"That's a good idea, father. This time I should take more than three boxes with me. My sister really likes it as well, especially with honey."

"Your sister?"

A woman voice could be heard from the door and Agora didn't wait to stand up. He arrived there a week ago but didn't have time to go and say hello to his biological sister who was married and lived in another city. She sent Aadit and Isha the day before so her father could take care of them and could enjoy uncle Agora, but now she was there.

The Lotus Saint opened his eyes widely and even his mouth wasn't close seeing his older sister. She was indeed beautiful with long dark hair and those penetrating green eyes. She had some make up and was wearing some modern clothes but still with beautiful Indian patterns. And of course those high heels and jewellery were being noisy enough to make Agora remember his home in Greece.

"Agora!"

"Arshia!"

If the hug with his father was with love, this could be even more. Agora didn't mind in hold his sister in the air to give a strong hug and a kiss in the cheek. He was just so happy to see her, they always had a strong bond and not even the distance could brook it. The Lotus Saint could remember all the letters she sent when he was training, and how hard she worked to use the money to can visit him in Shaka's house there in India or the same Greece.

"My beautiful sister."

"Oh, but I heard you was talking about another sister!" she said. "I will be jealous."

"Arshia, Arshia! You know I love you both." he smiled and then moved to the table, where his father was already pouring some hot water for his daughter. "But in this moment I must admit I'm happy to see you."

The girl just thanked to her father and smell the tea.

"By the way, how is she?"

"Wasn't a boy?" the father asked.

"Madhan is both, father." Agora explained about Shiva, but when she presented herself decided to use his real name with Agora's family. "But she... well, I think she is fine."

"You should call her, brother. Or you did already?" Arshia added to stand up and look for some cookies.

"Why?" the father asked very curious.

Agora could remember that his father was always like that respect Shaka and Shiva. He was always asking over and over, he just wanted to know the life of his son and be sure was with good people.

"Her birthday is today as well. Madhan is one year younger but the same day. Such nice coincidence."

"And why don't you call?"

But Arshia and her father didn't need an answer. Agora turned a bit sad and sighed before keep drinking the tea. He didn't need to answer because in that moment two kids arrived yelling and running. Aadit and Isha were running directly to hug their mother, who just made them sit down with some cookies in hand and kissed them.

"I hope they didn't bother you, father."

"Don't worry! I always have time for my two little crowns."

"Uncle Agora hit his head in the morning again." Isha laughed to then move and sit in Agora's lap. "He said his home in Greece has taller doors."

"Yes, that's true." Agora chuckled.

"Mom, uncle showed us a picture of his family there." Aadit stood up to move around and then sit again in the same spot. "I saw master Shaka once when I was younger, didn't I?"

The mother was impressed that he could remember the time the Saints visit them. She just nodded and moved the cup of hot tea to don't have any accident. Those two kids were full of energy so didn't even wait to finish their cookies when they were already moving around the table to sit close to their uncle.

"Mommy, uncle lives with a pretty girl." Isha said with some cookie in her mouth. "She uses lots of jewellery and high heels like you."

"I know, I know." she smiled. "Hey kids, why don't you go and play with grandpa's dog?"

The kids didn't wait to yell and run outside the kitchen. Agora knew how to hold kids around, how to entertain them and be kind, after all he always acted as a big brother with Shiva who was as noisy and full of energy as those kids. And lamentably those same thoughts where on his mind. He for a moment felt terrible and sad once again, this time the father didn't wait a second to ask why.

"It is nothing." Agora answered.

"Must be something, my son. Look at you."

"It's just... I don't know if I should call Madhan."

"You totally should." Arshia answered almost interrupting him. "No more, you go and call your Greek family."

Agora sighed. He didn't have any option now that her sister was serious about it. He gave some last sips to the tea and even taste a cookie that Isha left in front of him. It was vanilla with coconut and was perfect with his tea. He thought he was free now, after some minutes they three were talking about their father work and how Arshia's husband was in a business trip in the north of India. The Silver Saint smiled for himself but her sister stood up to help with the dishes and remembered him once again that Shiva may be waiting his call. Again, was his sister, he couldn't say no to Arshia.

The young man walked to the living room that had a big door to see the garden. There were the kids playing with some dogs that belong to Agora's father and with such happiness that the Silver Saint needed to chuckled while waiting in the line. For any reason, Shiva didn't answer her cellphone so Agora now was worried and decided to talk his master.

"Hello?!"

Agora needed to remove the phone from his ear when Shaka began to yell.

"Hey, master, you don't need to yell." he said waiting that the Virgo Saint could heard.

"Oh, sorry. I wanted to be sure." Shaka laughed a bit and Agora could imagined him with that serious look but a tiny smile. "I was almost calling you to wish you happy birthday, my son. So... Happy birthday!"

"Thank you so much, master." the Silver Saint really felt something in his chest when the master called him 'son'. Shaka always refer Shiva as his daughter but few times to Agora as his son, and not because he didn't love him, but because when kids Shiva always demanded more ways to show Shaka's love. "You know, it is weird to wake up in other place where I don't need to train and feel hundreds of cosmos."

"Talking about it, how is your little niece?"

"She is fine, I still need to talk with her mother but I honestly don't want her to know about the cosmos and such. Not yet."

"I understand, Agora."

"But I didn't call for that, master. I wanted to know if my sister is ok, I tried to call her but she doesn't answer."

"Oh, Agora. You know Shiva. She is still angry at you and told me she will not answer you."

He couldn't hide it, Agora felt hurt and in the same way he felt bad for what he was doing. He sighed and turned to see the kids playing. The girl was holding one of the dogs to play with him while the boy was running to try to catch the other one; he remembered then those days in training with Shiva and how they lived more things together than Agora and his own blood sister. But still, he loved both as their family.

"Well, master... could you tell Shiva that I love her and I wish her a happy birthday?"

"Yeah, when she comes back. After eating breakfast together, Shiva went with Shaina to see a movie and maybe later will visit Saori and then... I told her she can do anything she wants." Shaka didn't want or needed to know about the schedule of Shiva in the Sanctuary.

"Fine... I will try to call her later."

"Hey, Agora, try to enjoy your family. Don't mind about us, and give Shiva some time, she can be childish."

"Yes, master. Thank you." he chuckled. "Sorry to leave you with such responsibility."

"It is always fun to take care of her." Shaka answered with a little touch of sarcasm but honesty as well. "Enjoy your day, son."

"Thanks."

It wasn't easy, but thanks to his teachings and ideals, plus such nice ambience around, Agora enjoyed the day with his nephew and niece, with his father and sister, and later with the people who was arriving to his party. He didn't remember all the family members but lots of them could remember him and how needed to go to study to Greece, at least that was the lie his parents told to everyone else. After receiving them and before beginning the party, Agora decided to take some time for his own and move to the pray room. He wasn't used to the Gods of his family, he knew about them and even respect them to almost make everyone believe he was into that religion, but this time he didn't want to pray to any God.

"Mother." he smiled seeing a picture of a beautiful woman and slowly removed the blue necklace he always was wearing.

Being young, some days after he won the armour, Agora's mother died and he even escape from his training and duties to go at the funeral. He could remember the flowers, the fire and the water. Everything was in his memory but as well all those beautiful moments at her side. Even remembered the last birthday he had with his family before Shaka found him. She was so excited because baked a small cake only for him and Agora ate it all without doubt, then the family went to the park and the beautiful trip to the house of Agora's grandmother. Yes, he could remember all with a smile on his lips and some tears in his eyes.

He then prayed for not only his happiness and health but as well for Shiva's, the only person who never left his side after the destiny removed the life of his mother. Agora even cleaned more of his tears remembering how his saint sister cried with him all day as it was her pain as well. He could even remember that one day Shiva cried more than him.

"I know you would love to meet her." Agora said to the air, but as if he was talking with his mother. "She still remember all the clothes you sent when we thought she was a girl, well she has always been a girl. Anyway, I hope you are proud of me, mother." Agora said to once again wear that necklace that was a memory from her. "I try to always be good with everyone as you taught me, I always try to be fair and don't hate anyone. Thanks for teaching me all that." he stood up and placed both hand in front of himself. "Thanks for gave me life, mother."

The silver Saint did a small reverence to the picture and, after clean his tears, moved outside the room... hitting his head again.

The music was loud, the food was delicious and the party was great. Agora played with the kids around, being careful to don't awake Isha's cosmos by accident, then he and his sister and some cousins danced without stop big part of the time as they were waiting for a big cake. Indeed, it was a party that Agora never had before and was so happy to feel as a normal human being. Those little details always put happiness in his heart and a big smile on his face, thanks to this he could feel so well that some animals began to appear around the house.

"Hey, hey, bhaee." Arshia came close smiling seeing his brother was dancing in circles and needed to stop hearing his sister. "I think your... ah, how do you call it once again? That thing you use as soul."

"Cosmos, yes, what about it?"

"I think it is too strong. It is late and some birds are coming around."

"Oh!" Agora saw around to indeed see that even his father's dogs were following him. "It always happens when I'm too happy." he laughed. "It is funny, normally master Shaka always have animals around when meditates."

"Does Madhan does the same?"

"Oh, Shiva..."

"Shiva?"

"I mean, Madhan." Agora calmed a bit and then saw around as if he was looking for something. "Hey, Arshia, I need to go to my room for a minute. I will be right back!"

The Silver Saint ran with the phone in his hand to the room, this time being careful with the frame. He closed the door and took a deep breath to begin to dial those numbers. He tried once again to call Shiva, thinking that for sure she will not answer.

"Agora!"

He was a bit surprised to hear Shiva's voice. It wasn't happy or sad, but was a bit loud.

"Shiva? Oh, I'm glad you answered."

"Yes... I'm... why... how are you?"

"I'm fine, Shiva. I was in the party with my family but I decided to call you."

"Good."

Agora smiled but he could hear nothing but Shiva's music in the background. She was in silence, maybe she was with someone else.

"Sister, sorry if I interrupted something. Maybe you are whit your friends... or some boyfriend."

"No, I'm... I'm alone now." Shiva chuckled. "Saori and I already went out but I... I wanted to come back home. Right now I was painting some mandalas for master Shaka's birthday."

The Lotus Saint smiled and waited some seconds.

"Happy Birthday, bahan."

"Happy... Birthday, bhaee."

But even if he wasn't sure to keep going, he really wanted to talk with Shiva. Plus, he could hear something weird in her voice.

"Sister, you can't imagine how much I miss you." he said in the end. "I feel strange waking up and being alone in the room and I must admit I miss to hear your steps around the house." but then he realized something. "Shiva? Are you ok? Shiva?"

"Agora! I miss you too!" she was crying without stop. Not sobbing, but indeed crying. "I miss you, Agora. I'm sorry."

"Sorry?" Agora asked to himself more than for her. "What you mean?"

Shiva was still crying and holding his breath but tried to keep talking.

"Master Shaka... he told me not to... not to tell you. I'm sorry, I'm a bad person." she said with sobs here and there. "I'm very egoist."

"What happens, sister? Try to calm down..."

"Agora, I want you here. It is our birthday."

"I know, sister." Agora was talking soft and calm do try to make Shiva feel rest at least. "But right now I'm with my family and... hey! you know, Arshia's kids said you are a pretty lady and all my family sends you greetings."

"Agora!" Shiva couldn't stop crying. "Agora, why you left me alone? I'm so mad at you!"

"But sister..."

"I know, master Shaka told me I shouldn't be egoist but... but is not fair..." she took a deep breath and tried to calm down even if the tears could stop, after some more words they would go out again. "You are with your family... and my only family is you and dad Shaka." she said to cry again. "You are my family, Agora. I feel so weird and empty in a birthday without you."

Agora sighed and felt a bit of sadness in his chest. He could remember how angry was Shiva when he asked to be with his family and how she didn't even say goodbye as always did. Of course, Shaka didn't tell him that Shiva cried regretting this all the trip back from the airport to the Sanctuary. But how not be like that? All her saint life Shiva only had them, she was used to their presence and Agora was indeed lucky to still have a family.

"Sister?" Agora tried to keep his calm, he knew that Shiva's peace could be reach easily if he was like that. "You are my family too, Shiva. And I love you so much, you can't imagine how much." he chuckled. "Didn't you have a nice time with Shaina and Saori?"

"Yes, I did." she answered trying to calm her tears. "I had lot of fun..."

"Then I'm happy for you, sister. I had lot of fun as well."

"But..."

"Hey, sister. What about this? We enjoy this birthday with our beloved ones, and when I arrive, we make a big party for master Shaka and us."

"He doesn't like parties."

"Bah, I don't care. I want a party with my Saint Family." he could hear Shiva laughed a bit. "We can invite your friends, my friends, even master Shaka's friends. Hey! we can invite your boyfriends!"

"What about your girlfriend?"

"Girlfriend?"

"Fler?"

Agora laughed a bit loud and could hear Shiva was already laughing as well and taking some more air.

"Yeah, even if is just my friend." Agora sighed and smiled thinking in how Shiva would look with a smiley but still sobbing a bit. "So, we will do that, ok? I will go to my party and you can keep yours."

"But my friends are busy..."

"What about master Shaka?"

"He will come back soon, I guess."

"Perfect." Agora stood up from the bed. "Look, take a bowl of popcorns, lot of soft drinks, candies and more. Then tell him to have a marathon with your favourite movies."

"Do you think he may want that?"

"He can't say no to the princess of the temple."

The Peacock Saint laughed and Agora could hear how the music in the background was fading as she was moving to another room. Agora did the same, now letting Shiva hear the music of his party.

"Are you ok now, sister?"

"Yes, Agora." she answered. "Took a lot of pictures, and say hello to your family." Agora was almost talking but Shiva interrupted. "And thanks for all. You are such a nice person, I'm lucky to have you with me."

"I can say the same, sister. The best people born today, right?" Shiva laughed and did a sound that Agora could know she was totally better than some minutes. "I love you, sister."

"I love you, brother."

They had some seconds like that, with the silence of their call till Shiva decided to hang up. Agora smiled holding the phone close and then turned to see the garden in the middle. Everyone was dancing and eating, talking and making jokes, everyone was a big family. But Agora was now thinking in how his small Saint family would be now, Shaka and Shiva in front of the laptop seeing movies and enjoying lot of food. For sure Shaka wouldn't mind his strict diet to enjoy some salty chips he enjoyed in secret.

"Hey, Agora." his sister interrupted. "Come to the party, we are waiting you!"

"Yes, Arshia." he once again showed that burst of happiness and ran to hold her. "Let's go, I want to dance more!"

As the music kept playing and Agora and his sister were dancing till their feet couldn't more, in other country Shiva and Shaka were getting ready to see some movies together. But in both places lot of animals were coming close to feel such happy and calm cosmos.
