As it goes, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei does not belong to me, nor do any of its characters.
I.
"Mikoto, Mikoto, Mikoto, Mikoto, Mikoto, Mikoto, Miko-" Why was Nozomu so damn annoying, and at this early?
"What." The man who was studying to be a doctor looked up, glaring through his glasses.
"Let's go-" Goddamn, and he was jumping like a squirrel on drugs.
"I already told you we're not." He needed to study, he was going to graduate University at 19 and fucking shine.
"To Disneyland-" Nozomu was acting like a four-year-old.
"Kei, tell Nozomu to shut up already." Mikoto hissed, rubbing his temples.
"…I want to go to Disneyland, too, Mikoto." The artist admitted, grinning.
"Then why won't you take him?"
"But Mikotooooooo, it's not the same without you!" Nozomu whined.
"And Rin?" They'd surely take Rin.
"She's at a friend's house for the weekend." Kei said.
"Mikoto, let's go to Disneylaaaand!" Nozomu was clinging to Kei, jumping still, smiling and rambling about what they'd do at Disneyland. "Mikoto, it's Disneyland! We have to go, We have to go-"
"Just shut the fucking shut the fuck up and we'll go, good fucking god."
Mikoto had to smile.
He'd never seen his younger brother look happier.
II.
Mikoto wasn't easily surprised, but this was new.
To see both of his brothers and his nephew in his waiting room, with balloons and presents, a cake put out on the table. The nurse must have let them in before opening, surely. She'd probably run out to get something, like she always did, every year, without fail.
When he walked in, he couldn't help but smile at the cheer they gave him.
Happy birthday, Mikoto.
III.
He had to admit, his brother looked adorable in drag. He pulled it pretty damn well.
Nozomu was red-faced and fidgeting while Kei and Mikoto were stifling their laughter.
"You two," he started through gritted teeth, "You two owe me fifty."
"Oh, sorry about that, Nozomu," Kei started between guffaws.
"We don't have any money on us," Mikoto finished before bursting into full-our laughter.
Nozomu's face was a look of utter horror before yelling out that age-old phrase-
"You've left me in despair!"
