Seven Exchanges

::Al was asleep on the couch. Unaware to him, it was his birthday today. He was now eleven years old. However, he was exhausted after reading through the pile of books next to him. Hopefully, someone would wake him up and greet him joyously.::

[ walks up to you, curious about why a boy is sleeping on the couch. Kanon notices the pile of books and picks one up to look at it, but accidentally knocks over the stack in the process ]

Aah! Oh no...

::Opens his eyes, rubbing them a bit:: Huh?

[firinmahtasers]

I'm so sorry! I just was curious, so I picked up a book, and...

S-sorry...

[gentle_alchemy]

::Gets up, picking up some of the books:: That's okay.

I needed to wake up anyway.

::Walking up to Al, almost as if being sneaky, he sets down a small bag next to the boy::

Happy Birthday, Al.

[gentle_alchemy]

Brother..?

[prodigal_hands]

Yeah, it's me.

Heh... sorry if it's a bad time.

[gentle_alchemy]

::Brightens at seeing his brother:: No! I've been wanting to see you!

I didn't even know it was my birthday today.
