Intrusion: Wish upon a star.
It was late at night when a little boy, with browns spiky hair, round Blue innocent eyes, and tan skin, looked out the window of his room. He was suppose to be in bed an hour ago, but was to restless to sleep, and resorted to looking out at the night sky at each star. He lived on a tropical island with his best friend, who was a little older then himself and seemed more mature. He had lived there all his life on the island with his parents. It was quiet, calm, and nothing ever unexpected ever happened besides the storms that would sometime appear.
All in all it was boring.
He didn't count the new cave that he had discovered a few days ago, yes it was exciting but then it also became boring when he found out nothing but a door was in there. A door that couldn't be open for that matter. Currently he was trying to remember each constellation that his friend had shown him as he thought back to earlier this day, when he was walking around the market with his mother and saw a pair of siblings. He watched as as they played and laughed together, he always wondered what having a sibling would be like. Specifically an older one who could show him things, he didn't want a younger one that would bother him. He sighed when he asked his mom why he didn't have a big brother. She never answered him, instead she gave him some munny to buy some ice-cream. He sighed as he decided that he should probably go to bed soon, he was suppose to wake up early tomorrow because his dad said he wanted him to go somewhere with him. And so, he went under the covers and waited to fall asleep as he glanced outside one more time.
"Huh?" he said as he straightened up. There in the sky was a shooting star! "Oh! I gotta make a wish!" he said and scrambled to the window, clasping his hands together and bowing his head with his eyes shut. "I wish I had an older brother!" he mumbled a few times, "...And maybe a new toy sword too please!" he added quickly. He cracked open an eye, wanting to see if it was too late adding that other part, only to gasp in surprise when the star landed, which made the ground shake, on the beach. Without thinking he got up and grabbed his sandal's before jumping out the window-he was so glad that he lived in a one story house-and ran towards where the star had landed. He was so excited to see what a real falling star looked like, 'maybe it would still have some magic seeping out of it? Maybe that's how falling stars granted wishes?!' Oh he was so excited that he had tripped and landed face first on the ground with an 'oomph', but he ignored it and kept running as fast as he could. He could see the beach now as he tumbled down the slight slope, he saw that he scraped his knee and again, ignored it, as he searched by moon light to see where it landed. "hmmmm..." he hummed as he squinted, thinking that would help his vision, while walking. "Where did it go?" he mumbled with a puff of his cheeks. Then a thought crossed his mind. "Oh man! What if it landed in the water instead of the sand?" he said with a saddened expression. He looked longingly out to the sea, he could of cried for not getting the chance to get the star, and was turning to get back home before anyone noticed. Well that was until he heard something.
"hng..." said a voice. He instantly ran towards it and came upon a crater-a big crater-with someone inside of it. He slid down the side of it and reached the person, only to find that it was a kid. He flipped him over, he didn't think that he could be very comfortable with his face full of sand, and widened his eyes. It was a boy, with dark blue-green short hair, the bangs in front stopped just a few centimeters below his eyes and covered the right eye, he also had pointed ears with some earring's that were in the cartilage part. He wore a black muffler that seem big on him, there was a white checker pattern at both ends, but the one in the front had the word 'Haruka' in dark red stitched in the lower left corner, he guess that was his name. A white and gold jacket, the gold lining the edges and inside with the rest of it white, red cargo shorts stopping just below his knees, boots that seemed to have some metal plating on them, he also had a metal shoulder pad that was layered on his left shoulder, it was also white and gold. And finally a black turtle neck with some type of cross sash around his chest with a small metal heart in the middle. The boy started to stir, he could now see that he had the brightest blue eyes ever seen. In fact they seemed to glow in the dark, which honestly he thought was very cool, as they blink a few times then looked around. The bright eyes then landed on him.
"Hi!" he said as the boy sat up and clutched his head with one hand. As he did that, something fell out of his pockets. Both boys looked down to see a trinket of a star made of glass, it was tinted gray with that same metal heart in the middle, each edge looked like the sea-shells that he would find on the beach. So he picked it up and handed it to the boy, who gave a nod of thanks, before crossing his legs and smiling. "My names Sora!" he greeted with his hand out, "Whats your name?" he said with a tilt of his head, he knew it but remembered that good manners to let the other person to introduce themselves first.
"...Haruka..." he said softly while slowly gripping Sora's hand, once he did Sora shook it enthusiastically. That was when Haruka felt something warm go down his cheek, lifting his free hand up he touch it before pulling it away and seeing that it was blood. Sora gasped in horror as he looked at Haruka's hand. Then quickly lifted up his hair and saw that there was a long gash across his right eye. Haruka touched it lightly and winced, no doubt it was probably infected or something if it hurt so much just because he lightly touched it.
"SORA!" a female voice yelled. Sora looked up, tears in his eyes and looked ready to run for help. Haruka looked up in time to see a woman with blue eyes and tan skin, with long dark brown hair, look down into the crater they were in with a flashlight. She pointed it at Sora and let out a breath before looking very angry, "Morgan! I found him!" she called over her shoulder, Haruka could hear other voices and the shines of flashlights as they neared. "SORA! What in the WORLD were you thinking coming out here in the middle of the night?!" she scolded him.
"MOM! MOM!" he said while crying out, shocking the worried woman, while wiping away his tears. That was when a man, who Haruka assumed was Morgan, with spiky light brown hair and tan skin one look and you could tell that he was Sora's father. Sora then started to point at Haruka, getting his parents attention on him, "PLEASE! HARUKA'S HURT!" he wailed and started to cry even more.
Both parents were shocked as they stared at Haruka. He on the other hand observed the other adults that came over and were now shining their lights onto them. Morgan seemed to get to his senses first and slid down the fairly large crater, "Yumi! Here take Sora!" he said while grabbing sora and handing him to his wife, then grabbing Haruka and climbing back out. Everyone rushed to the nearest clinic, seeing as Haruka was loosing blood really fast, and waited.
"Sora," yumi said softly as she tried to get Sora to calm down. "It'll be alright."
"I-Is he going to die?" Sora hiccuped, and absolutely terrified to have the thought that Haruka-his new brother-could die when he just met him! Seeing the panic setting on Sora's face Morgan ruffled his hair.
"He wont die Sora." he said and "you need to calm down, because he'll be fine. The doctor will make sure of that."
"R-Really?" he hiccuped out as he tried to hold back on crying. They both nodded making Sora take a deep breath and wipe at his tears furiously, then had a determined look to not cry. "Haruka's going to b-be fine." he said to himself as he looked at the door where his dad had brought him through.
"Sora, what were you doing out there?" Morgan asked as he sat next to yumi, when they had felt that tremor earlier they were worried and went to go check on him. Only to find his window open and Sora gone. Yumi had started to panic when they searched the house and couldn't find him, then they had rushed outside going from house to house to see if they had seen Sora. Each time they said no their panic grew, then the whole neighborhood went searching for him. Morgan even checked Sora's friend's house to see if he had gone there before checking the beach and found him. "Sora you made us worry so much." he sighed out, he then pat Sora's head when he had bent it in shame.
"W-Well there was a falling star-" he started but was interrupted when a boy, who seemed older then him, with silver hair and turquoise eyes came up and smacked his head. "OW!" Sora yelped and clutched his head before glaring at the boy. "RIKU! What was that for?!"
"That was for being an idiot and worrying everyone!" Riku yelled back and smacked him again. "What were you thinking going out to the beach at night?!" he demanded with his arms crossed.
"Thats what I was saying!" Sora yelled back irritated and huffed, "...where was I?" he mumbled as he tapped his chin.
"You said something about a falling star?" yumi said with a small chuckle.
"Oh! Right!" Sora said then proceeded to tell them on how he couldn't sleep then saw the star at night, making the wish for a big brother-he missed the sad look that crossed his parents faces-then how it landed on the beach, and he went out through the window to find it. Only to find Haruka inside of it instead. He then turned to his parents with a grin, "It granted my wish!" he said happily.
"what do you mean Sora?" yumi asked confused.
"I wished for an older brother and it came true! It gave me Haruka!" he said excitedly before his face fell, "But...Haruka's hurt and h...he-" he hiccuped as his eyes started to water. Riku sighed.
"You dope! If Haruka came from the wish you made then doesn't that mean that he's really tough?" he said trying to cheer Sora up. He smiled when he saw Sora think about it and had a look of hope in his eyes. Then the doctor came out with Haruka next to him, a medical eye-patch on his eye, and without warning Sora scrambled out of his mothers lap running up and hugging him tightly.
This surprised Haruka, he stood there awkwardly for a moment, not knowing what to do he slowly hugged Sora back with confusion. Then an elderly man came up to the two, he had well kept hair, gray and white, a cane in hand and a gentle expression as he knelt in front of them. His mustache wiggled a bit when he sniffed. He turned his tired silver eyes towards Haruka, looked him over as the rest of the residents of the island came closer to hear what he would say.
"Hello there," he said with a smile towards Haruka, "I'm the mayor of this little island. Can you tell me what your name is?"
"...Haruka..." he responded softly as he flickered his gaze across the crowed behind the mayor, before looking back.
The mayor hummed as he nodded his head, "Haruka...What a nice name you have there." he said with a smile. "Tell me, Haruka, how old are you?"
"Six."
"Ah! You're older then me!" Sora said happily, after all he couldn't have a big brother if he wasn't older.
The mayor chuckled, "Haruka, how in the world did you end up with that nasty wound and on the beach?" he asked with a worried expression, after all this was a child that didn't live in the village. He knew because he remembered every child that was born or moved here. And he defiantly would have remembered a child that had eyes that would glow. He saw him shut his eyes-or eye in this case-in thought and chew the inside of his cheek, "Take your time."
he opened his eye back up with a tear going down his cheek. "...unversed..." he mumbled, the mayor looked concerned. Whatever this unversed thing was must have been the thing that attacked Haruka. He saw Sora with tears in his eyes again as he hugged Haruka to make him feel better. Haruka looked at Sora and smiled, "Thank you...I bet Lea would-" he started but stopped as his eye widened in horror. Now the mayor got really concerned.
"Haruka?" Sora questioned as he waved a hand in front of him. He didn't respond as he seemed to be remembering something while looking at the floor. The adults all seemed to sense something was wrong, then he started to sob before falling to his knees crying. Everyone practically panicked as they didn't know why he was crying all of a sudden. Sora was petrified, not having the faintest idea on what to do, Riku went up to Haruka and very awkwardly pat hit head.
"Whats wrong?" Riku asked after a moment when he calmed down. He hiccuped a few more times before wiping his tears away.
"Are you okay Haruka?" Sora asked as he clutched his shirt. Haruka nodded.
"I...I can't go back..." he answered.
"Why not?" Riku asked with a raised brow. He didn't answer as he stared at the floor, "well, its okay if you don't want to talk about it." he suggested, Haruka nodded his head. "I'm Riku by the way."
"...Haruka..." he mumbled as he looked up and smiled slightly.
After that it was apparent that Haruka would stay, he had informed them that his father had died and he never knew his mother, and at the moment they had to figure out where he would stay.
"Haruka's staying with me!" Sora yelled out when he got fed up with the adults ignoring him when he tried to speak to them. They looked at him, the mayor raised a curious brow, "I was the one who made a wish on the star for a big brother! And then Haruka came here! So hes my brother!" he huffed out and hugged Haruka's arm. Now the mayor raised both his eyebrows up in surprise and mild curiosity.
"What do you mean by that, Sora?" he asked him, and again Sora retold on how he wished on the star for a brother. The mayor smiled through his retelling, nodding when Sora would ask if he was still following and when he would get off topic and go back. Sighing with a soft chuckle he ruffled his hair and stood up, going towards his parents to discus something with them.
"...Brother?" Haruka asked after a few moments, he looked down to Sora, who was still hanging on his arm, with furrow brows. Sora looked up and nodded his head with glee, then it faltered into a nervous one as he fidgeted.
"D-Do you want to be my big brother?"
Haruka thought for a moment, then nodded his head once with a smile. Making Sora smile widen ten-folds and hug fully with all his might-which wasn't much-as Riku smirked. "Uhm, Riku..?"
"hm?" he responded with a tilt of his head.
"Have you ever seen a star go out before?" he questioned, Riku looked at him confused but really thought about it. He had, in fact, seen some stars go out when he would look out his window.
"Yeah, its really weird."
"Mom said its because it was their time to go." Sora pipped in, then had a contemplating look. "Wonder where they go tho?" then he seemed to go off in his own world, seeing as he made a goofy face. Riku and Haruka chuckled at that, before Haruka murmured something that Riku barely heard.
"Its because the world's heart's were taken from them..."
Riku heard it none the less, and furrowed his brows. Hearts? Planets didn't have hearts.
"Haruka." yumi said as she and Morgan came over with the mayor beside them. She bent and put her hands on her knees, "We have been talking," she started softly as she gestured to herself, her husband and the mayor, "and we would like for you to become apart of-" she took Sora by the shoulders and put him in between herself and Morgan, who had taken a knee next to her with a smile, to emphasize her next part. "-our family."
Haruka froze for a bit. They wanted him to join their family? But, they just met him. Are these the type of people that his dad told him about? People who's heart's are so kind that their light could withstand the darkness? He stared as they waited with smiles as bright as the sun.
"...Okay..." he said without even realizing it. Sora broke out of his mothers grip and tackled Haruka to the ground. Shocking him as he hugged him back with a confused expression.
"YAY! HARUKAS MY BROTHER! I HAVE A BROTHER! EVEN IF I DIDN'T GET A NEW SWORD I GOT A BROTHER!" he yelled out as he rolled around the floor with Haruka still in his arms. Some of the adults laughed, while others had already left, Riku shook his head with a smile.
"Shouldn't you be careful about his eye, Sora?" he asked with a sigh. Sora stopped instantly at the reminder of Haruka's eye, let go and apologized. Haruka waved it off, the mayor informed them that he would draw up the proper papers for Haruka's adoption in a few days. They left the clinic and headed towards Sora's home. Once there Yumi and Morgan had to try and figure out where he would sleep, Sora immediately said that they could share a room and practically dragged him there. But Haruka didn't mind, he actually found it amusing that Sora was so happy about this whole thing and honestly Haruka was too. He didn't live with his family, he'd be able to go and visit them once in a while when his dad came to the world he lived on and picked him up. So being apart of a family was...nice. Currently both boys were under the covers, Sora had fallen asleep once his head hit the pillow. Their hands were still intertwined, Haruka slowly fell asleep as he thought about what he could do with his new little brother.
