"Andddd here we Go. Yukino's special Birthday pancakes with all the ingredients my fiancé loves! Exclusive for a person named Hikigaya Hachiman! Enjoy" Yukino said while giving me a kiss on the head.
I give her a small smile and thank her. I stopped correcting her on her fiancé part Ever since a person said "You guys are too young to be engaged". We were banned from the reastraunt that day... Anyway! Today is my birthday, one of my days where I usually just say in and just talk with Komachi. But with Yukino, she wants to spend her day with me. It really is cute for some odd reason.
"And for Komachi! Eggs." She said handing Komachi a Plate of eggs.
"Wow. Thanks Yukino." Komachi said with sarcasm.
"You're welcome" She said while ruffling her hair.
I can tell Komachi is struggling to keep in her annoyance. Don't worry Komachi, she only acts like this when there are surprises involved.
"So Hachiman! Is there anything you wanna do for your birthday!" She said while smiling. Too Cute!
"Nothing really. I just usually stay inside and play games with Komachi. Then the day ends with cake and a song" I said.
I could Go without the song. Just sitting there while everyone is halfass singing to you doesn't Help make your special day more special. Some People say its sad. I call it revolutionary.
"Is... Is that it?" She whispered.
"Yeah." I said
Yukino looks at me sadly.
"Is there something wrong Yukino?" Komachi asks
"Well. In your previous birthdays. Did you guys do anything else." Yukino asks.
Komachi gives me a troubled look as I remember my childhood. Previous... Birthdays.
Hikigaya Hachiman Age 10
"S-S-So Do you think you wanna go to my birthday!" I ask a girl I liked.
"...Who are you?"
"IM Hikigaya Hachiman! R-Remember. From your class" I said.
"Sorry. You seem... Weird." She said before walking away.
I sigh as I throw away another invitation card. Invited 23 People. 23 People rejected. Not even one person.
*Crash*
I turn and See my teacher throwing away her lunch away in the trashcan...Maybe. Screw it I would take anyone.
"Would you-"
"Sorry kid. I have a life" She said before quickly walking away.
I with and throw away another card. Make that 24 people.
Age 12
"Okay class. Today. Is a special day for a certain person!" The teacher said.
Special day? Person? Today! NO
"Let's quickly welcome Hikigaya Hachiman's Mom and his little sister."
The whole class clapped while some were confused. Oh god no.
"Now! Let's give a round of applause for Hikigaya Hachiman!"
No one clapped. They just looked at me silently. I walk up there trying to hide my Face as I Go up to my mom and give her a look that says 'Why today'. She then gives me a reassuring smile.
"Sorry for interrupting. Were just here to pick up Hachiman Early so he can celebrate his birthday!" My mom said.
Oh thank god. I was about to smile but then my birthday trap card came into play. My sister Komachi.
"Hey everyone! Let's sing Happy birthday to my Brother!" She yelled.
No Komachi. Please.
"Come on! 3 2 1!"
Dammit.
"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday Dear Hachiman! Happy birthday to you!"
".."
".."
".."
No one but her and my mom sang. Now thinking it i realized not even my teacher sang. But that's okay! I just wanna Go home.
"Hey you Big meanies! Why didn't you sing" Komachi yelled. One kid decided to respond to her.
"Well. He looks creepy."
*Splash*
"AHHHHH!" The kid yelled while covering his eyes.
Komachi threw the teachers hot coffee.
"Okay Mom! Let's leave!" I quickly said while picking up Komachi and running outside the classroom.
"Yeah you better run!" Komachi yelled while being carried by me.
God dammit Komachi.
I switched classes the next day.
Present
I swear a depressing cloud just took over me. I see Komachi Out of the corner of my eye Go to Hug me but then I Heard a push and felt Yukino Hug me. I freeze Out of be overwhelmed by her cuteness. Sometimes even this can overtake a Loner like me!
"You looked sad so I thought you could use a Hug." Yukino said.
"Wonder where you got that idea from." Komachi grunted.
"What do you mean Komachi?" Yukino replied sarcastically
Komachi stood and gave Yukino a glare.
Ah shit. The Two most stubborn People are glaring at each other. Well, nothing I can do now. Actually I can do something but I don't wanna die on my birthday.
"Be quiet you... Cat obsessed Iron board!" Komachi yelled. I see Yukino's eye twitch. Actually maybe I should have interupted.
"At least I don't have a Brother complex!" Yukino refuted.
"I do Not have one! Why does everyone say that!" Komachi yelled.
I Start to rub my eyes and Start to squint and I notice something else.
"Grrrrr" Komachi growled.
"Hissss" Yukino hissed.
Did... Did i just see a dog and a cat threaten each other? I look take a look at Komachi's and Yukino's and see imaginary fire blazing in them. It seems like I'll have to use my Yukino Paralyzing technique.
"Hey Yukino." I called her. She immediately Changes she demeanor and turns to me.
"Ye-Mhh!" I Cut her off by kissing her. While Yes doing this act makes me want to hide myself Out of embarrassment. To Yukino however...
"Uh...uh... um...what..uh..." Yukino has stopped working.
"Don't worry. This should only last about 5-10 minutes. The first time we kissed I stood frozen for about 1 minute while she kept stuttering for 10." I said while sitting down.
"Yeah Yeah." Komachi said sitting down as well.
We Go back to eating as I finish up my pancakes and she finished up her bland eggs. We Start talking for a couple of minutes before we hear a squeak.
"Ah! Sorry! How long did I-"
"8 minutes give or take" Komachi interrupted her.
"I apologize. It's just that doing this... act makes me remember when Hachiman and I shared our first kiss with each other." Yukino said.
You make it sound like it was the most romantic thing in the world. In reality, we both stared at each other awkwardly for about 2 minutes before kissing for 1 second then froze right after.
"Actually! Onii-chan shared his first kiss with me when we played House together as kids." Komachi revealed.
"Don't remind me. I still think it's a bit weird" I said. Seriously, I played way more House than a regular boy should play. Why did I even play so much with Komachi... Oh yeah no friends... I'm getting sad again.
"Come on! Don't be like that! I think it's kind of sweet knowing we shared our first kiss with each other." Komachi said.
"Yeah yeah. Whatever you say. Just Help me wash the dishes." I said.
We both sit up and collect our plates and put it in the sink. I turn on the water and hear only the water. No Yukino. Dang, that means death is coming soon to me.
"Komachi" Yukino said.
YES. IT'S NOT ME! Sorry Komachi but it's my birthday today and I value my life... am I a good Brother?
"Hm? Yeah what's the problem?" Komachi asks.
"Can we talk in Hachiman's room? Alone." Yukino asks.
"Uhhhhh. Sure, I guess" Komachi said confused.
She looks at me for a second but I kept eye-contact on the plates. If I don't notice problem then there is no problem. It's like when someone drops their stuff on the ground. I look away and Not notice it until someone helps or he/she is done picking up their stuff. I don't want it to be like last time.
Age 13
"Ahh!" A girl yelled before dropping all her stuff she was carrying.
I immediately come over to her and Help her.
"Wow. Thanks for helping me..." She says trying to make me say my name.
"H-H-Hachiman" I stuttered while giving her stuff back to her.
"Thanks Hakimen! Bye!" She said while running away.
Hakimen!? Is that a New nickname for me! Does she like me. She probably does! She said thanks and even waved bye to me! I have to confront her tomorrow!
Present
I'll spare you the details. She called me Hatimon and then left. Why am I having a lot of flashbacks today!
"We're back Hachiman!"
I turn and see Komachi annoyed and Yukino with an imaginary tick on her head.
"Sorry if it took a while! We just had to discuss... How being persistent toward... Something is unhealthy." Yukino said.
"We also discussed about how it is perfectly normal and Not creepy at all to care for...something!" Komachi emphasized.
I'm confused on what's happening.
"Let's just celebrate Today okay!" Komachi Said.
Celebrations. I remember celebrations at School...
Ag-
*Slap*
"No! No more flashbacks. I know when it's happening now and stop it!" Komachi scolded.
"Alright fine. Geez, no need to be harsh about it." I complained.
"No need to keep remembering the sad memories you Hachiman!" Komachi insulted.
"That's Not an insult I Said.
" Hachma-Ahhh!" Komachi said.
I started to rub and Pat her head to make her stop. 50% was to make her stop and the other 50% was just because she looked cute. I laugh at her trying to wave her arms at me.
"Stopp ittt!" She said.
In the midst of all of this, I see Yukino look away sadly and I decide to Pat her head. She jumps a bit.
"H-Hey!" She says.
"Sorry." I said smiling a bit.
Yukino quickly looks at her watch and gasps.
"A-Anyway. Can you Come with me outside. I want to show you something." Yukino asked.
"Uhhh." Oh no, a surprise.
"Let's Go Onii-chan. Let's both see what Yukino is gonna surprise us with!" Komachi said. Welp, can't fight little siblings. I sigh and walk outside with Yukino and Komachi and after a minute, Yukino points to the sky.
"Look! Over there!" She yells. Please don't be a billboard saying it's my birthday.
I look up and see Two planes flying towards each other. They both turn and curve a little to then make a heart from their smoke. I hear Komachi gasp and see Yukino look on with pride. I'll have to admit that's really sweet
"Wow! That's really cool Yukino!" Komachi yells.
"What do you expect? I'm really good at surprises after all!" Yukino says with pride.
I give Yukino a Hug as she smiles. "I guess Today your surprise was actually pleasant." I Said.
We look at the he-
*BOOM*
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Uh... Ah..." I stutter as my eye twitches.
"Umm, Yukino. Did those planes just crash into each other?" Komachi asks.
"I-I-I-Its part of the act?!" Yukino reassures
"There jumping Out and it looks like there panicking. Anddd they just pulled their parachute." Komachi points Out.
"N-N-No. It's all part of the act!" Yukino said.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
".."
*Slam*
"Happy Birthday Son!" My mom and day yell coming into the House. They quickly spot us in the backyard and run towards us. They Go to Hug me but then see my horrified face with Yukino hiding behind me, covering herself with my shirt.
"What's wrong?" My mom asks.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Komachi decides to break the silence.
"Well, Happy birthday Onii-chan."
"H-Happy birthday Hachiman!" Yukino Said.
At least I wasn't embarrassed.
