Hey everybody! So, tomorrow (July 26) is my birthday and I decided to write a little gift to my readers since it would be very difficult to write gift-fics for everyone and also figure out when everyone's birthday is, so if you are reading this, happy birthday!

As a little gift to me, I would love to see some reviews :D

Also, this may turn into a series of one-shots.

Warnings: Little kid loving of the boyXboy and girlXgirl kind, fluffiness, and Vanitas being a smart-ass

Pairings: Akuroku, Terren, and VanitasXOC with implied (unless I forgot to add it in) CloudXSephiroth, AquaXOC, Soriku, and Ximine (XionXNamine)

Disclaimer: I only own my OCs Kidani and Ember, nothing else.

"Hey Sonickles! I can't breathe with all of this smoke!"

"Sonickles? What the heck Vanitas?"

"His hair looks like Sonic's but it's red, like Knuckles, so he is Sonickles."

"Vanitas, you are crazy."

"And Sonickles is thinking so hard that his brain is overheating. Too much thinking gas in the air! Can't breathe!"

"Shut up Vani, I can't concentrate with you yelling in my ear." Axel pouted as he kept his eyes trained on the subject of his thoughts.

Vanitas smirked and turned to their friend Terra. "You've got to admit though, Sonickles was pretty good."

"Vanitas, you are not punny." Axel's twin Ember said with a shake of her head. She turned to her twin and punched his arm. "Axel! What are you doing?"

Axel sighed and tore his eyes away from the young blond boy he had been staring at. "It's Roxy's birthday this weekend and I need to think of something special to get him."

"It's also Ven and Kidani's birthday remember?" Riku pointed out.

"Yeah, but…"

"We know, we know. Axey and Roxy sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Ember sang.

Aqua shook her head at her girlfriend. "Look, Axel, whatever you get Roxas you know he's going to love it."

"Actually, this over thinking may be warranted." Terra mused.

"Why? Because you want to get something special for Ven too?" Vanitas teased with a smirk as a blush spread across the older boy's cheeks.

"And you need to get something special for Kida." Riku shot back.

Axel drummed his fingers on his folded arms as his eyes returned to Roxas while his friends bickered.

The blond was currently playing with his twin Ven and their new friend Kidani, the other subjects of the dispute. Roxas and Ven were having a birthday party this Saturday, and since their new friend Kidani's birthday was within a day of theirs, they decided to have one huge party.

The current dilemma of course was that Axel had no idea what to get the blond that had become the object of his childhood affection. He simply knew that it had to be something special; something that no one else would get.

The redhead watched as their other friends Sora, Namine, and Xion joined in their game of tag and without warning, an idea came to him. He grinned and pumped his fist. "Oh yeah baby! Axel has had a spark of geniusness!"

Terra, Vanitas, Riku, Ember, and Aqua looked at Axel with incredulous expressions.

"This I've got to hear. If your brain was smoking like a fire this has to be good." Vanitas said.

"Hey, my brain does not smoke when I think!" Axel argued.

"Whatever you say Sonickles!"

"And stop calling me that!"

Terra shook his head. "Oi, you two are so immature."

Saturday came quickly, and thanks to Axel, Vanitas and Terra had also gotten amazing gifts for Ven and Kidani.

"Let me see! I want to know what it is!" Sora whined at the three boys as they stood at the front door, waiting to be invited in by said brunette, who was the twins' older brother.

"Ah, ah, ah, this has to be a surprise for them and everyone else." Axel waggled his finger at the younger boy.

Sora pouted as Riku grabbed his hand and pulled him back towards the backyard, where everyone else had gathered. "Come on Sora, let them in. You'll know soon enough."

They all went out into the backyard, where the others were playing in the above-ground pool as Cloud and Leon, the twins' fathers, and Eraqus, Kidani's father, prepared the food and accepted the three newcomer's gifts to put them with the others.

"Axel!" Roxas shouted excitedly when he noticed that the redhead had arrived. He ran over to hug his best friend as Ven did the same with Terra, only he managed to knock the bigger boy to the ground.

"Geez Ven, you're stronger than you look." Terra laughed.

"Happy birthday Kida." Vanitas said to the third birthday boy.

"Thanks Vani." Kidani hugged the older ravenette.

"Come on guys! Come swimming!" Namine shouted from the water.

"Yeah! It's not cold once you get used to it!" Xion said with a smirk as she splashed water at the six kids who were out of the pool.

"Hey!" Vanitas yelped, eagerly taking off his shirt and going after his younger sister.

"Splashing war!" Axel declared as he and Terra also stripped off their shirts. The redhead grabbed Roxas, who yelped, before he was thrown into the pool by said older boy.

(So many safety violations there that I recently learned in my first aid/CPR course).

"Kids, be careful!" Cloud warned.

"We will be daddy!" Ven said innocently before he pushed Terra into the pool with a smirk. Said brunette screeched before he hit the water and came back up sputtering while everyone laughed at him.

"Canon ball!" Vanitas yelled before he jumped in, soaking everyone in the immediate vicinity.

"Get him!" Aqua said, and the splashing war began.

After the kids were all prunes from spending so much time in the water, they got pizza and birthday cake (chocolate of course) and then it was time for the three birthday boys to open all of their gifts.

Axel, Terra, and Vanitas ensured that their gifts were last, but Axel insisted on going first after everyone else since it had been his idea.

He carried a box and a portable DVD player over to Roxas. "Happy birthday Roxy!"

The blond looked confused at the DVD player and set the box down with it on top, turning it on and letting the disk play as everyone else gathered around to watch. A filmed movie began to play on the screen.

"Hey Roxy, it's Axel!" The redhead waved to the camera before he began walking through what the others recognized as the mall. "It took me a long time to figure out what to get you as a gift, and let it be known that this was my idea, not Vanitas' or Terra's. You deserve something special, so as corny as it sounds, what's in the box you have is filled with love. Quite literally."

The blond blushed heavily as Axel snickered and everyone else watched transfixed as Axel finally entered a store, and the camera zoomed in on the store's name: Build-A-Bear Workshop.

"Aw!" Namine and Aqua cooed.

"Corny is right." Xion remarked.

Sora hushed her, watching with approval as Vanitas and Terra came on camera as well, showing off the three 'bears' they had chosen to build.

"I'm getting you a Heartless Build-A-Bear because I know how much you love collecting these little guys." Axel told the camera.

"I'm getting you a Pikachu Ven, since you love Pokemon so much." Terra announced.

"And Kida, you get a lion since The Lion King is your favourite movie." Vanitas added.

The three boys walked over to the stuffing station, and Axel was first to fill his bear. Meanwhile, Vanitas sneakily grabbed some of the stuffing and dropped it onto an oblivious Terra's head, snickering.

Everyone else laughed as they watched him sneak over to Axel and pull on his shirt enough to get more stuffing down his back, making Axel giggle like a little girl and wiggle to get the stuffing out, all while the man at the stuffing station watched them as though they were insane.

Once the boys were done at the stuffing station, they chose clothes for the bears and did the certificates, giving their bears the same names as their to-be owners.

"Well, I hope you enjoyed our little building adventure. I figured I'd film this so it would be like you're here doing this with us. Happy birthday again Rox! Love you!" Axel waved to the camera and made the little Heartless wave as well before the tape stopped.

Everyone clapped and Roxas jumped Axel, hugging him tightly. "Thank you Axey! That's the sweetest gift ever!" The blond said ecstatically.

"You haven't even opened it yet." The older boy reminded him.

With that, Roxas grabbed the box and tore off the wrapping paper, opening it and finding the exact same bear from the video. "Thank you so much!" He said, hugging the Heartless and Axel.

Next up was Terra, who handed a similar box to Ven. "Since Axel did something extra and demanded that we not 'steal anymore of his ideas', I did something else too." The brunette told him, pulling out a piece of paper and clearing his throat. "Roses are red, violets are blue. I'm not a poet, but let me tell you. Love is hard to write for, words are difficult to choose. But I can write for you Ven, since you are my muse."

Everyone cooed again at the sweet words and Ven's face turned bright pink as he wiped away happy tears before they fell. "Thank you Terra." He hugged the older boy and kissed him on the cheek before he opened his gift and pulled out the Pikachu Build-A-Bear.

Last, but not least, was Vanitas. "I got you something extra too, but since you already know what's in the box, I'll let you open it first." He said to the younger ravenette.

Kidani opened his gift and hugged Vanitas. "Thanks Vani!"

The older boy knelt down and grabbed another smaller box out of his pocket, opening it to reveal a multi-coloured ring pop. Kida eyed the candy hungrily as Vanitas slid the ring onto his finger, and only then did the older, more knowledgable kids realize what Vanitas had done.

"Vanitas!" Axel, Terra, Riku, Ember, and Aqua exclaimed with mortification as Kidani simply licked at the ring.

"Thank you. It tastes great!" The young ravenette beamed.

Vanitas smirked as Xion, understanding what he had done, face palmed. "Vanitas you idiot, you can't just propose to Kidani."

"He doesn't mind. He accepted it after all." Vanitas said.

Everyone laughed, except Kida, who was still fully-focussed on eating his ring pop.

Axel walked over to Roxas and wrapped an arm around his shoulders. "Happy birthday Rox."

The blond nuzzled his head into the older boy's chest. "Thank you Axel. This has been the best birthday ever."

Awww! Don't you just love a happy ending? Speaking of happy, I would be very happy if people reviewed. It only takes a few seconds and it would really make my birthday :D
