(Arata)
"Happy birthday, my little annoying brother." I handed him his present which he took with wide eyes and excitement dripping from his face.
Accepting it, he rattled my small gift between his index finger and thumb, trying to figure out what it was.
It was a silver-plated chrome-finished limited edition model of his favourite car. I knew it would be a teaser but also a great addition to his model car collection.
"Thank you!" He graciously said. "What is it?" He wriggled his brows at me.
"Patience, little one." I pulled his earlobe and he let out a small. "Ouch!"
Others laughed, seeing our sibling affections.
We were all gathered around the table on which rested a gigantic birthday cake shaped like a blue car. The finishing and perfection with which it had been baked made it seem like a real car—Zaylen's dream car.
The table was brimming with gifts everyone had gotten him and I could bet quite a few were just car keys for the new ones he had received.
