Drabble 1: Best Day Ever
Weeks past after the end finally came to the World, me and my friends sat in Mac Anu. We were talking about random things about our adventures, struggles and personal gains. I wasn't really sharing much, maybe which was why they asked.
"That necklace,-" Pi asked. "-Where did you get it? It isn't on the market inventory list."
"I hope not! This should be the only one that exists. I got an exact copy in the real world. It was my fist birthday present from a friend."
"So hot do the two relate?" Kuhn murmured.
"Elk, do you remember me wearing this in the old World?"
Endrance nodded and replied. "Mia was always complementing the workmanship. I tried to get on for her but it was too expensive."
"Was it? Well Sora did have a knack for stealing dropping items after he PKed them."
Haseo shot up. "Sora gave that to you?"
"Yup! Do you want to hear the story?"
"If you wouldn't mind" Atoli whispered quietly. I barely heard her.
"Always too polite Atoli." I smiled. "You don't have to be so formal. I wouldn't mind." I tilted me head to the left.
"Okay! Can you tell us the story?"
I laughed. "Sure. You see I never told anyone when my birthday was, so only my family came. I liked it that way. Mu family is, um, strange. My fiancé didn't know until three weeks before he proposed. Sora, he knew the first year I babysat him. You see Sora's parents worked a lot. I was over there almost 24/7. They paid me really well so I didn't mind at first. Sora never fussed either, so it was quite easy, I'd help him with his homework, feed him a large meal and then we'd both play the World until his parents came home. One day I told them I couldn't babysit him because of my birthday, so they game me a proposition; bring him to my birthday party. This necklace was the little guy's birthday gift, real diamonds and all. I went on the World after and he gave me this. So when the World crashed I recreated the necklace as a reminder."
I looked down at my pendant. A simple white background that tinted and shined a calming light purple in the light, the diamonds shined pink in every direction, no matter what. But the oddest thing was the shape, a perfect infinity.
I gripped the pendant into cupped hands, moving it in the light. The shine felt like it too was peering into your soul. Open and listening to every whim your heart desires. To represent the infinite possibilities that the world it was created in could give. All with and for eternal beauty that no one barely saw.
A white glove snapped me back to reality.
"You there Kitsune?" Atoli asked.
"Sorry, daydreaming."
"You should rest then." Endrance stated.
"Okay then." I waved goodbye and logged out. I took off my M2D and pushed my short auburn hair out of my face.
I got up and laid in my bed, I let my mind wander and it drifted.
xXx Flashback xXx
It was about twelve years ago. When Ryou was in grade 2, man that boy cute. Ryou loved me. At his house he would always pretended that he didn't know math, that's why he hated it. But I knew the truth; he only wanted the attention, some attention. I knew he deserved that much.
So when his parent opened the door that day, I knew they wouldn't like it.
They never took a day off for him, ever. I wouldn't be surprised if Ryou cried himself to sleep everyday.
I walked out to them that day. I stood my ground against two grownups. "Next week is my birthday. I was wondering if I could get the day off to be with my family."
The two looked at each other and frowned. "We are busy all next week and don't have time to find another sitter. I'm sorry, but we can't."
"What if he comes to my house?"
"I guess that's alright."
"Okay, I'll go tell him and say goodnight."
"Alright. Go on."
I bowed in respect and walked to Ryou's door. I did our secret knock and he opened the door and smiled. His eyes instantly shined and he jumped. "Are you staying?" he asked.
I shook my head. "No, I'm leaving now. Here, this is for you. Good night Ryou, Sora."
"But!" Ryou began.
I knelt down and kissed his head. "Just tell me your answer tomorrow, kay? Well see you afterschool!"
I hugged him and walked out smiling. As I passed by his parents and bowed. "I'm done, thank you."
"Here's your pay. You can leave now." Mrs. Misaki spoke.
A rush of pity fell onto my shoulders. A pity for Ryou's parents for not getting to know there bright child, smart and one of a kind. "Thank you, good night." And I left out through the front door.
The next day I pondered on the note that I gave Ryou. Hopefully it lightened his mood.
I got there and he jumped me. "I never knew you could write such a pretty poem. I love Skeith the Terror of Death! I want Sora to have the title.
"Sora the Terror of Death. I like the ring to it!"
Ryou smiled. "You mean it!"
"Ya. But remember, it's gonna be a hard journey. Maybe even scary!"
"I don't care! I'll defeat everyone in my way!"
I laughed.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing, just remembered another pretty poem."
"Can I hear it?"
"Sure you can!"
By the field broken by the Wave
A shadowed girl whispers
"Surely I will return."
Alas to her unbestknown
Awaiting her at journey's end
Eternal mourning for her land.
For the first time since I saw Ryou I saw true tears fall down his face. Pain shot through those glass eyes. His real self finally crawling through a high brick wall. It was enough to make you cry. Cry tears of joy for a maturing boy not even old enough to really know the difference between right and wrong.
Like a god blessed him with something pure.
Author's Note: I might actually write a drabble of this birthday later. But Im no sure XD Hoppefully. Anywho plz R&R so I know how to continue :)
