Neah- Black Hearts does not own -Man.

Neah's P.O.V

As they headed back to home Neah noticed Allen was scratching something off of the present that they got Mana," What are you doing Allen?" Neah walked over to the red head and looked over his shoulder.

Said red head shrugged him off as he replied," I'm scratching off the price tag, so that way that worry wort Mana, doesn't know how much we payed for the kit...you know how he can be a scrooge about that kinda stuff."

Neah nodded his head in agreement," Smart idea...should we also wrap it for him? Or just keep it like it is so that it is easier for him?''

Allen shrugged," Just keep it like it is. Ain't like it's his birthday or anything special. Right?" Neah nodded in agreement as they reached the house. Once they got inside the two boys ran off to Mana's room ,where they had to, 'patiently' wait for the doctor to finish his exam on Mana before they were allowed to enter. After about what felt like an eternity to the two young boys - which was only ten minutes - the doctor finally came out along with Neah's parents, who both ruffled each boys hair affectionately as they passed by. After the adults were out of sight, Allen and Neah ran into Mana's room happy that they found him there and awake. The two boys ran up to his bedside as Mana slowly sat up, and smiled at his younger brother and their friend. Out of all three of them was the ever impatient Allen," Hey Mana...Neah and I got you something today..ya know to help you not be so bored while your in bed resting all day." Allen looked at Neah expectantly since during the course of their wait outside Neah had taken the face painting kit from Allen.

Neah handed Mana the kit with a huge grin on his and Allen's face as Mana stared wide-eyed at the gift,"...A face painting kit...for clowns?'' The older boy frowned which caused the two younger ones smiles to fade.

Neah looked at Mana," Do you not like it?'' He started to twist his hands about, not thinking about what would happen if Mana didn't like the gift they had got for him.

Mana looked down at the kit in his hands and back at the two boys," No..in fact I don't like it..." a small sly smile appeared on his face as excitement filled the older boys eyes," I'm love it! We can put on circus acts for mom and dad in the backyard and I could be the Ring Master, Allen could be the animal tamer and Neah can be the one who puts together and plays the awesome music and the one who juggles bowling pins!" Mana exclaimed excitedly. Allen and Neah's smiles returned as they quickly nodded their heads and then hugged their future ring master. Mana laughed as he hugged the two boys back.

However they were cut of shortly when Neah's and Mana's father and the doctor entered the room," I'm sorry to have to break you guys up right now boys, but Mana needs to get his rest so that way he can recover faster and start training for that circus of yours." Their dad chuckled having heard most of the conversation. The younger boys nodded, hugged Mana and then left the room.

Allen's P.O.V

He walked out of the room with Neah and headed back outside, where they climbed the tree to their favorite branch. Allen was watching the setting sun when he felt Neah poke him. Allen turned towards Neah." What is it?''

Neah looked at Allen with tears in his eyes," Do you think Mana will ever get better? I heard people whispering in town that what Mana has is not easy to recover form and most people die from it..."

Allen hugged Neah, being sure to be careful as to keep his balance so he didn't fall off the tree. He stroked Neah's hair to try and calm him down," Don't worry Neah...Mana will be okay" Allen let go of Neah so they wouldn't fall and looked towards the sunset," ...Just don't worry...Mana's strong. He will be alright." He turned back towards Neah and smiled at him, and tried his best to hold back his own tears that threatened to spill over," And don't forget when Mana gets better he's going to be the ring master of our circus." Neah smiled, having been comforted by his friends words as they watched the sun finally disappear from the sky as Neah's mom called them inside.
