Word Prompt: Hidden (prompt given by xxXX1trueloveXXxx)


Looking around the huge crowd that made up Sebastos Parthenopaeus's first birthday party, Jaden absently nodded in acknowledgement and returned the happy greetings.

He couldn't help the pangs of longing as he looked around at all of the smiling faces, and he couldn't help wishing that he could open up to all of the people who counted him as a friend.

Jaden held his drink (fruit punch, since it was a kid's party) loosely in his hand, standing apart from the crowd yet wishing with all his might to be able to join in the merriment.

If wishes were horses even beggars would ride.

Still, he imagined that when the day came that he would no longer have to keep anything hidden from his friends, he would be a very, very happy man.

As he went to watch the first cutting of the birthday cake, he hoped that that day would come soon.


Author's Note: This is my first attempt at writing Jaden, so I hope that you all enjoyed this drabble! For those of you who don't know, Sebastos (aka Sebastian) is Ash and Tory's son. :) Please review and tell me what you think!
