"Heiji, look! 'Despicable Me 3' already air in the theaters. Let's watch it!" Kazuha pulled Heiji's sleeve to caught his attention. Her big doe eyes shone in enthusiasm as she watched the movie poster on the magazine she just read.

"No," The said black skin boy rejected her. Coldly, flatly and immediately.

"Aw, come on Heiji! Besides, tomorrow is my birthday. Let's watch it together after school!".

"I know tomorrow is your birthday. You don't have to remind me every day, all the time. Hell, even every year! And no! I don't want to watch that movie! Remember your age, Kazuha!".

Kazuha gasped.

Indeed she knows Heiji doesn't like to watch cartoons and romance dramas.

But all this time he never protested.

They both always take turns while watching about the genre of the movies in the cinema.

Sometimes they watch action and detective movies, Heiji's favorite, of course.

But there's more time when Kazuha, well, little forced Heiji to accompany her to watch cartoons or romantic dramas. Or even horror movies.

Meanwhile Heiji immediately felt bad and regret when he saw Kazuha's reaction. Actually he didn't mean to say something rude to Kazuha, like 'remember your age'. But, seeing Kazuha's familiarity with Okita lately, a fellow Kendo fighter who is also a formidable opponent of Heiji, a strange uncomfortable feeling filled those black skinned boy.

Somehow, obviously he didn't like to see Kazuha close to Okita.

Hell, he doesn't like to see Kazuha close to any male friends, other than him!

And no! He's not jealous!

He is ... just ... well, protective towards her.

She's his childhood friend. They know each other since they're babies.

She's like his younger sister to him, that he had to protected her from the male friends.

'Predators. All of them!' Heiji's mind completed in annoyance.

Highly annoyance.

"Heiji, am I ... doing something wrong? Are you ... angry with me?". Kazuha is confused. The last two days Heiji is weird. He gets very cold to her. In fact, Kazuha felt she did nothing wrong to him.

Then why ...

Suddenly an idea popped in her mind. The most reasonable reason why Heiji is seems to be mad at her. Though she didn't understand why.

Okita.

Well then, better ask directly to him, right?

"Is this because of Okita?".

At first, Kazuha's pitiful voice made Heiji want to apologize at once. But, when he heard Kazuha mention Okita's name, Heiji spontaneously burning with jealou ... Rage! He's burning with rage!

And Heiji who is burning with anger usually has tendency to said mean words, though he didn't mean it.

"Kazuha!" Heiji's voice was higher than he meant. "You know I don't like watching cartoons! I've been patient enough to endure it this entire time!" He lower his voice, though it's still thick with annoyance, for different reason, actually.

"It's your birthday tomorrow, you should have to grown up! Like I said before, remember your age now, Kazuha! Don't watch cartoons all the time! And more importantly, don't force others to watch movies they don't like, just because you want to be accompanied!". Heiji scolded at her.

Silence for a moment. Both teenagers's eyes widened together.

The girl, did not expect so far she was very selfish, when she herself didn't like if Heiji forced her to do something she did not like.

The boy, now conscious and unbelieving, had just said such rude words to Kazuha.

"Uh, Kazuha. I'm ... I'm sorry," He had to apologize!

Kazuha raised one of her palm, stopping Heiji. "No, Heiji. I'm the one who should apologize! I did not realize that I'd been so selfish. Forgive me".

"But ... But, Kazuha ..."

"It's okay Heiji, I'm not angry. I'm even grateful because you've been honest with me. A bad trait should be changed, right?" Kazuha laughed nervously.

"But I still like watching cartoons," she frowned.

"Ah, don't worry!" Kazuha raised both her palms to Heiji now. "I won't force you to come with me again. I can go by myself, ehehe ..." Again, she forced laugh, which sounded more like choke to Heiji's ears.

Heiji knew that soon she would cry. But, he didn't say anything.

"Well then, Heiji," Kazuha stood now. "See you again".

Then she ran without even waiting for his answer.

Not tomorrow, he realized sadly.

She said see you again. Not see you tomorrow. On her birthday.

He sighed with limp and regret.

"Well done, Hattori!" he mocked himself. "Look what you've just done!".

"Dad, can I ask for your help?".

Heizo Hattori immediately coughed, due to choking with surprise. While Shizuka Hattori's eyes widened in disbelief.

The three of them were having dinner quietly, when suddenly their son, Heiji Hattori, has just asked for help, politely.

Something very unlikely, but it happened.

"What help do you need, son?" Shizuka couldn't help but asked in a teasing tone as she put down her chopstick.

Heiji rolled his eyes. According to her teasing tone she just used, Heiji was sure a hundred percent that somehow his mother already read his mind. But, he ignored it. It's not his priority at this time.

"I know you have connections, Dad. I need two movie tickets for tomorrow, for cartoon movies 'Despicable Me 3'. Seats row right in the upper middle".

"What are you talking abou - Ouch!" Shizuka kicked Heizo's leg because of his clueless answer.

"I thought you don't like cartoons, Heiji! And two tickets? For tomorrow? What's the date tomorrow? July 21st. Do you want to invite someone, Heiji?" Shizuka's smile widened to see her son's reddened face.

"It's for Kazuha," Heiji muttered slowly. But both parents can still hear him clearly.

Hmph! As if his mother didn't know tomorrow is Kazuha's birthday.

Shizuka pretended to gasp. Her acting was great.

"You heard that, Heizo!" Shizuka turned to her husband now.

"Tomorrow Heiji wants to invite Kazuha on a date! You can help your son get the cinema tickets, don't you?".

"Mom, we just want to go to the movies. Not dating!" Heiji protested, but not heard.

Instead, his mother glared at him with dagger eyes, which effectively shut Heiji's mouth.

"Well, Heizo?".

Both males in Hattori family sweat dropped.

Heiji called Kazuha with a satisfied smile on his handsome face.

His left hand holds the receiver, while in his right hand there are two free pass tickets, not only to the cinema, which applicable to all the movies currently playing, but also to the amusement park, for all stands and games.

His father did have powerful connections. And his mother, well, has power upon his father, so ... this two free pass tickets are the results, in just less than an hour!

"Hello?" Heiji's smile widened as Kazuha was still willing to pick up his call, though in a sleepy voice.

Heiji glanced at the clock before answering.

00:01 am.

"Happy birthday, Kazuha! Am I the first who wish a happy birthday to you?".

"Heiji?" Kazuha yawned now. "What's wrong? Why do you call at ... what time is it now?" Sleepily, she glanced at her clock.

"It's 00:02 am, Heiji!".

"Well, I want to be the first to said happy birthday to you! Besides I have a good news! You must like it, Kazuha!".

"Geez. Thanks, Heiji! But, seriously. Can't it wait till tomorrow?" Clearly she's uninterested now.

"I got two free pass tickets, to the cinema and amusement park!". He said in equal amuse tone.

"Congratulations!".

The excitement fades from Heiji. Kazuha's flat reaction was completely unexpected.

"Well, you know what this means, Kazuha? Two free pass right on your birthday!" Heiji tried again with a cheerful and enthusiastic tone.

"Sorry, Heiji, but now I'm so sleepy ... "

"Kazuha," Heiji said patiently. "I will accompany you tomorrow, wherever you want to go. We can go to the cinema or the amusement park. Or even both!". He even emphasized the wherever word.

"Thank you, but no need, Heiji," She yawned again. "I have a date tomorrow! See you at school". Kazuha then hung up the phone, before fainted on her bed, sleeping peacefully.

Meanwhile on the other side of the phone, Heiji Hattori felt like he just struck by lightning.
