Hello~ Guess what? This chapter is filled with so much stuff that doesn't even really push the story along at all. But after this chapter I will be focusing primarily back on Takane and Haruka so yay, can't wait for that. Until then enjoy my Hibiya Birthday Fluff!

Oh and if your wondering about all the Pokémon stuff, that was mainly for my co-author~ He is pretty much the one that made up most of the ideas, I just do all the work and write them down mainly. There really is no point to this at all.

~The 56th day~

Hibiya didn't remember falling asleep in class, but before he knew it, class was over and he stirred to someone furiously shaking his shoulder.

"Hibiya. Hibiya, wake up!"

Hibiya opened his tired brown eyes and lifted his head up from the desk. When he did the hand left his shoulder. He scrubbed his eyes with the heels of his palms to get the sleep out and then stared at the figure in front of him.

"Hiyori?" he mumbled unintelligently when his vision came into focus. The raven haired girl stood there with her hands on her hips looking at him expectantly. Her hair was in a ponytail today, he couldn't help but notice.

"If you're done napping, can we go eat now? I'm starving." she said.

"Uh yeah." Hibiya got up a bit too quickly and ended up bumping his knee on his desk. He winced, but ignored the pain.

"Are you okay?" Hiyori asked in concern when she noticed him wince.

"Yeah. I'm fine." he assured her, though it probably didn't sound at all convincing.

"Oh." she said, "Um, Hibiya? You have a little something… Here." Hiyori tapped on the right corner of her mouth, but was referring to him.

Hibiya frowned and felt where Hiyori had pointed to. Immediately he turned away, his face flushing with embarrassment as he wiped the drool running from his mouth to his chin. When he turned back Hiyori had an amused look on her face.

"Shall we go then?" she asked and he could tell by her voice she was trying not to laugh. He just nodded and grabbed his bag as Hiyori already started out the door. The day was only half over and he already felt like a big idiot. And on his birthday too.

As soon as Hibiya and Hiyori walked into the cafeteria they were formally greeted by Kano. Hibiya couldn't help, but think that the cat-eyed boy had been waiting for him the whole time; he wouldn't put it past him. Kano wrapped an arm around each of their shoulders, ultimately pushing them apart and inserting himself in the middle.

"Ah, Hibiya-kun~ where have you been? We've all been looking for you." Kano asked laughing.

"Please don't embarrass me, please don't embarrass me,"

Hibiya begged silently in his head, but it always seemed like a hopeless prayer whenever Kano was involved.

"He fell asleep in class." Hiyori answered. At least she wasn't nervous around Kano.

Kano laughed again. "Yeah that's just like him." he said and Hibiya frowned at both of them, but mainly Kano. "So Hibiya, has anyone said 'Happy Birthday' to you, or will I be the first?"

Hibiya sighed. "No, you would be the second. My mom was the first."

"Darn, have to try harder next time I guess." he said.

"What? It's your birthday?" Hiyori looked past Kano to Hibiya.

Kano gave a scandalized look at Hibiya. "You didn't tell her it was your birthday?" He brought his arm from around Hibiya to cover his mouth in mock surprised. "And I thought you told her everything."

Hibiya just rolled his eyes. There were good reasons why he didn't tell Hiyori. Maybe the first was that he didn't think she'd really care. Why she even hung around him after the incident with the door was a mystery to him. He also didn't want to tell her because if he did and she couldn't give him anything for his Birthday, he didn't want her to feel bad about it because then he'd feel bad about making her feel bad.

"Maybe I just didn't feel it was important." he said. He watched as Kano looked at him then at Hiyori, but he didn't say anything.

Hibiya barely managed a sigh of relief when Kano said, "Well everybody's waiting for you, so come on. Oh, and your girlfriend can come too, if she wants." He smiled innocently.

And just when Hibiya thought it couldn't get any worse, it got worse.

"Why didn't you tell me it was your Birthday?" As soon as he sat down Hiyori bombarded him with the question and shoved him.

Hibiya's back hit against Shintaro's shoulder. "I-I don't know…" She crossed her arms over her chest, giving him a look.

"Um, is everything okay?" Ayano asked with a nervous smile as she noticed the tension between the two.

Shintaro whispered over to her, "I think Hibiya's having girl problems."

Hibiya, of course being right next to him, heard him. "I am not!" he insisted.

After that, the whole table seemed to erupt into chaos. Hibiya started to attempt at explaining himself to Hiyori. Some how Takane got in a fight with Shintaro at some point with Haruka and Ayano attempting to be peace makers and holding the two back from each other. Seto and Mary had been the quiet ones at the end of the table. But when Seto leaned over to kiss Mary's forehead Kano had instantly popped up between them.

"No public displays of affection, children." he said with a laugh. Both Seto and Mary blushed in embarrassment, obviously thinking no one was paying attention. He went onto tease them until Kido had had enough and yanked his ear for him to stop.

Everything went on like that for eleven minutes.

"HEY!" Everyone stopped as Momo yelled and slammed both her palms on the table. When everyone had stopped in their actions, the orange blonde smiled sweetly. "Good~ oh Happy Birthday Hibiya." she said looking over at him, "And you say I never care."

"I've never said that before." Hibiya said confused.

"Yeah, well you can't say it now." she pointed out. Hibiya just rolled his eyes.

"Hey, are we going to give him his presents or not?" Hannah asked, peaking out from behind Momo with her hands behind her back.

"Yeah, go ahead." Momo said and waved her and the other two behind her on.

"Wait! Can I give Hibiya his present?" Kano asked.

Momo shrugged and handed him plastic bag that it was contained inside. "Knock yourself out." she said. Without anyone really knowing Kido mumbled under her breath, "Literally."

Hannah still held her hands behind her back. "Hey Hibiya." she said.

Hibiya half smiled back. "Hi Hannah."

"Well this is from me, Javier, and Jalin, though mainly me and Javier." she said. Then she pulled her hands from behind her back and pulled the present over Hibiya's head.

"Surprise, Squirtle hat!" she said in an over exaggerated way. "Sorry if you hate it. It was either that or a Jiggly puff one."

"Yeah and y'know, we have to save that one for Jalin's birthday." Javier said.

Jalin frowned at both of them, "So mean."

"Uh thanks guys." Hibiya said. He glanced over to where Hiyori was looking at him and felt somewhat self conscience.

"Okay, my turn." Kano said and stepped closer to Hibiya. "Happy Birthday Hibi-chan~!" he said stretching out the plastic bag toward him.

"Please don't call me that ever again." Hibiya groaned as he heard Hiyori and a few others trying and failing to contain their laughter.

"This is from, pretty much everyone else, and Hiyori-chan can be included in that too."

Inside the bag was a Mudkip back pack. That was two Pokemon presents in one day. Usually Hibiya would be ecstatic by that, but with Hiyori around he felt embarrassed. Hopefully the whole day wouldn't be like this.

"You are all a bunch of nerds." Kido said bluntly.

"Kido that hurts," Kano said as he looked up from his DS, "We're just trying to have fun. You should join us."

Kido glanced around at the six other souls residing on the facing benches besides herself. Hibiya, Hiyori, and Jalin sat on one and Kano, Javier and Hannah. Apparently, from what she knew, they were all supposed to have some Pokemon battle thing right now. She'd thought that maybe the infatuation of those little cartoon creatures was just some disease most of the guys in her life had caught, but judging from Javier, Jalin, and apparently Hannah too, it was universal. What amazed her most was that she was even here.

"I think I'll pass on that." Kido said and leaned against the wall of one of the school buildings.

"Kido, if you don't want to play, why are you here?" Kano asked.

Kido sighed. "Seto and Mary were nowhere to be found after school, Ayano-nee walked home with Shintaro and-"

"Aw, and Kido didn't want to feel like a burden." Kano looked at her sympathetically, but Kido could tell he was suppressing a smile.

"Yeah, sure, something like that. And Ayano was totally against me walking home by myself, and since Momo is at practice that means I'm stuck here with all of you." She looked at Kano to see if he had any further questions, but he didn't.

"Dammit! Javier I hate you, I hate you so much!" Hannah slammed the DS shut and gave it back to its rightful owner, which was Jalin.

"Ha ha! I told you, I'm the Pokemon master." Javier said laughing, "And you know you don't hate me." Hannah just huffed indignantly and continued to childishly pout. "I bet none of you could beat me."

Kano turned his attention away from Kido to face Javier. "Is that a challenge?" the blonde asked.

"It's more like a promise."

And after that all Kido did was endlessly shake her head. She watched as Jalin, Kano, and Hibiya all tried to defeat Javier. Both Hiyori and Hannah, feeling they had no place among them, came to stand by Kido and watch.

Kido watched with a mixture of complete and utter fascination at their stupidity and slight amusement. It didn't even take thirty minutes before Javier had both Jalin and Kano beat. It almost made her laugh in the way Kano just collapsed in utter defeat on the floor, and Hannah couldn't stop laughing at Jalin's reaction. Though there were some things shouldn't be described

Finally it all came down to Hibiya. Kido could tell he was nervous due to the sweat she saw beaded on his forehead. She rolled her eyes. They were all idiots.

"I'm sorry Hibiya." Javier said, "I'm going to have to crush you, even if it is your birthday." And with that it was over. Kido didn't think she'd ever seen Hibiya cry before, but he looked pretty close to it after that.

When all was said and done, Kido nudged Kano with her foot. "Hey, if you're done being all dramatic, can we go home now?"
