Dri opened his emerald green eyes to see Ari grinning at him. Dri blinked slowly, but then snuggled into his brother, intent on going back to sleep.

"Oh no you don't! Dri, you'd better wake up fully, or I'll have to do something drastic!" Ari said, still grinning at his twin. Dri groaned slightly and hugged Ari a bit tighter, burying his head in Ari's chest. Ari chuckled a bit a poked Dri in the side. "C'mon, Dri! Get up! Up, up, up!"

Dri sighed dramatically and looked up at Ari, emerald eyes sparkling in amusement. Ari's grin widened and he sat both of them upright.

"Now, what do I owe this special occasion on being woken up early?" Dri drawled, the sparkle still in his eyes. Ari leaned in and kissed Dri softly on the cheek.

"Today's the day we get ourselves some early birthday presents. Remember? Aunt Petunia said she was taking Dudley to the zoo with Uncle Vernon. So we can get done with our chores, get our presents, and get back here before they even realize we've gone!" Ari continued to grin, even as Dri gave a kiss on Ari's cheek in return.

"Well then, love, we'd better get started then, huh?" Ari rolled his eyes, still grinning, and rubbed Dri's hair affectionately.

"Of course, little brother! The earlier, the better!" Ari dragged Dri out of their too small bed and silently opened the cupboard door. They both walked into the kitchen, hand in hand, and silently started breakfast. Once they finished, they put it on the table and went back to their cupboard as everyone else started to wake up.

They spent the next few hours in their cupboard as the Dursleys began their busy day. When the Dursleys were about to leave, Aunt Petunia called them out into the hall to remind them to complete their chores before the family got back. Ari and Dri muttered affirmatives and the Dursleys left without another word.

Dri sighed slightly, starting his set of chores. Ari laughed beside him and set about his chores also, happily doing everything without complaining. In just two hours, Ari and Dri completed every chore they had to do that day.

They retreated back to their cupboard, Ari's grin still plastered to his face as he pulled Dri into his lap when he sat down on the bed. Dri rolled his eyes slightly, humoring his brother by staying in his lap, then reached down under the mattress only to pull out a roll of dollar bills.

Over the years, ever since they could do a chore properly, Ari and Dri have been collecting the money that they've found around the house. On good days, they find around 20 dollars altogether. On a bad day, they just find 4; and even that was a good amount of money. Then, of course, there was the 'forgetting' to give change back to Aunt Petunia during errands, the occasional stealing dollars from Dudley's allowance, and the oh-so-important 20s from the cookie jar Uncle Vernon kept on top of the fridge. So in total, throughout all the years they've been collecting, they have well over 8,000 dollars. Ari's grin widened considerably at the wad of cash in his face.

"Shall we go get our presents now? I know we're about a month early, but we'll never get another chance…" Ari glanced down at Dri nervously, his grin slightly fading. That is, until Dri grinned up at him.

"Don't worry Ari. I don't mind us getting them early. It's now, or never, right?" Ari's grin was back with a vengeance as he nodded. Ari lifted Dri up easily, only to set him on his feet a second later.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Dri grinned at Ari and led him outside of the cupboard and out of the house. They walked for awhile before they passed the park. Ari looked around for the 50th time. "Are you sure this is the right direction? I mean, I didn't even know there was a tattoo parlor in town…"

Dri sighed and glared half-heartedly over his shoulder at Ari. Ari just didn't know when to keep his mouth shut. Turning the corner, Dri stopped short and smirked over at his gaping brother.

"See? I told you it was here." Dri said in a smug voice. Ari nodded dumbly as he stared at the tattoo parlor. The words "Magical Black Dragon" flashed in dark neon colors on the top of the store. In the window, was a big picture of a black Chinese or Japanese dragon staring out at them. Dri tugged on Ari's hand, pulling him out of his stupor.

The bell chimed as they opened the door and walked inside the parlor. A fairly young lady with brown hair in several braids and a silver trench coat on over her black tank top and jeans came from behind the curtain in the back, rubbing her hands on a cloth. She froze when she saw Ari and Dri, but then started barking out in laughter.

"You've gotta be kidding me! It's a couple of kids!" She chuckled for a moment more then walked toward Ari and Dri. Dri held Ari's hand tightly as he stood in front of his older brother. The lady smiled softly and squatted down in front of them. "What can I do for you two?"

"U-um… W-well…" Dri took a shaky breath. "We would like to get a tattoo, miss, if you can…"

The lady looked bewildered for a moment before she burst into another round of laughter. Dri frowned and Ari stepped in front of Dri, eyes glistening slightly. Ari sniffled slightly, catching the attention of the lady, who had stopped laughing for a moment. Ari straightened up and looked the lady in the eyes.

"Please miss… It's all we can have for our birthday…" The lady's eyes softened slightly and she sighed.

"It's not that easy little one… For one, do you know how much a tattoo costs?" Ari and Dri both nodded. Dri pulled out the wad of bills and the lady's eyes widened slightly. She chuckled lightly and shook her head. "What are your names, little ones? My name is Izumi." (A/N: Think Izumi Curtis from Full Metal Alchemist)

Ari thrust his hand out with an adorable grin on his face.

"My name's Harrison Potter. This is my brother, Hadrian Potter." Izumi's eyes widened a bit and she coughed slightly.

"Um… This might sound weird, but do you have a scar on your forehead?" Ari just grinned and lifted up his bangs, Dri copying his movements. Izumi nodded slightly, a thoughtful look on her face. She stood up and looked to the curtain that led to the back room. "Sig! Come in here! We got some costumers!"

Dri's and Ari's eyes lit up and they grinned up at Izumi. She looked back at them and smiled softly. A very large man came through the curtains and looked at Izumi. She motioned for the boys to come up to the counter.

"Now boys, what tattoos would you like?" Izumi leaned on the counter while Ari and Dri discussed what they wanted. The man, Sig, raised an eyebrow, but didn't question anything. Ari and Dri looked back up at Izumi.

"I'd like a stag!" Ari said, looking at Dri.

"And I'd like a dog!" Dri said, likewise looking at Ari. Izumi chuckled softly.

"And where would you like them?"

"On our lower backs!" Ari and Dri said in unison. Izumi smiled and nodded.

"Ok, well, that would come up to $300 for each of you. Is that alright?" Dri nodded, handing Izumi the correct amount of money. Sig raised both his eyebrows as the boys looked at him. Izumi looked over at him and grinned. "Well both you Harrys, why don't you go on in back. Sig will be there in a minute."

Both boys nodded and slipped through the curtain. Sig turned to Izumi, question on his face. Izumi grinned.

"That was Harrison and Hadrian Potter." Izumi's grin widened at Sig's surprised expression. "Yes, Potter. Now, I'd like you to add a few things to their tats, alright? We'll make it so that they can be closer than ever before."

Sig nodded mutely and listened to Izumi's ideas. After she was done, Sig nodded again and went through the curtain to find one of the twins with his shirt off, already sitting on the tattoo chair. The twin in the chair grinned.

"I'd like the stag, please." Sig had a ghost of a smile on his face as he directed Ari to lie on his stomach…

*~Back At The Dursley's House~*

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


Ari and Dri couldn't stop grinning as they lie on their bed in their tiny cupboard. They've been lying there for over an hour, and the Dursley's were due back in another hour. Dri snuggled into his brother's chest and sighed contently.

'I wish I don't have to move…' Dri thought to himself. Ari smiled down at him and stroked Dri's hair.

"We've got at least another half-hour. You don't have to move anywhere." Dri froze in confusion. He looked up at Ari and blinked.

'Wha?' Dri thought to himself. Ari blinked and furrowed his brow.

"Whaddya mean 'wha'? We've got half an hour, so you don't have to move." Ari said sternly. Dri felt chills go up and down his spin.

"Ari? I just thought that… You can read my mind?" Ari blinked, and then looked at Dri in surprise.

'Whoa… I read his mind?' Ari thought, very startled. Dri frowned.

"Yes, you read my mind… Was I not clear the first-" Dri stopped mid-sentence as he realized that Ari hadn't said that out loud. "Oh… Wow…"

"Yeah… Wow's right…" Ari said, absorbing this new information. The Ari grinned.

'Well, at least now we can talk to each other easier!' Dri snorted and rolled his eyes.

'Only you could think this was cool, Ari… Only you…' Ari snickered and shrugged his shoulders.

'At least now we won't be bored as easily!' Dri laughed and shook his head, standing up.

"C'mon, we'd better start dinner…" Ari sighed and stood up, too.

"Alright, alright… You know, you're such a fun-sucker…" Dri just grinned at his brother as they both walked into the kitchen to start dinner.
