They three are sitting in the seats near the wall. It's a long comfy seat.
They are playing an online game.
"Brownie, you are too quick. Slow down." Kei said.
He never had a smartphone before. Playing games on his phone, only the legendary snake.
He tries playing on PC but it takes time to load the game and he never had much free time with his grandma's strict lifestyle.
The two young brats teach him how to download games and now they are in a party.
"Wait….Ah….How you use the power up again?"
Suddenly an angry old man shouted at him.
'Ehhhhh? What is this old man saying?'
He keeps pressing the hit button.
"Oh… I won!"
He grins and shows it to the old man.
Kei is not sure how they end up playing with the old man.
"Hit! Not there idiot!"
"Grampa, Kei is a beginner. Don't bully him!" Asher pouts.
Kei continues looking at his phone playing.
"Hmp! Beginner. What kind of stupid thing to say as an excuse? If you can't even do this simple thing just play dress up games or coloring games." The old man said, disdaining Kei.
Jack pouts.
"Isn't that too mean to say."
"Oh? I got a new item." Kei said and showed it to the team.
"It says Rare item. Cool." He said.
Sonny looks at Kei who went back to his phone again.
"Well…...Aren't you lucky to get a level 5 rare item?" Sonny smirks sarcastically.
Kei smiles.
"It's so much fun. Smartphones are amazing. Whoever invented this thing? Is it engineers?" Kei gasps.
"I'm pretty sure they are smartphone developers." Asher wryly said.
Their family's business is an electronic company, smartphone and other electronic developings is their expertise."
"Ehh...So cool." Kei said.
"My grandma refused to buy me a smartphone. She said I don't need it and it's expensive." He keeps tapping.
"I wonder if she is vomiting in hell now."
"........Kei, please decide if you are getting sad or making us sad." Asher said.
Kei looks up.
"Eh? Making you sad?"
Jack sniffs and wipes his eyes.
"My dog died too. It's so sad."
"......that is the level you are putting my Grandma? Want me to hit you, brat?" Kei sighs.
He closed his eyes and grins
"My grandma is a very eccentric person. It's not like I don't miss her but I know that being sad won't make her live again so instead I'll live happily for her sake too. Since she brought me up and cared for me. It's just right for me to be happy."
Kei yawns and scratches his head.
"How long will this party be? I'm getting sleepy."
Sonny sighs.
"You got me interested."
"Eh? What? Huh? Sorry Old man, find someone with your own age. I am not saying being gay is bad but aren't the age gap too huge?"
Kei was hit by a cane. It hurts his head.
He remembered his Grandma so badly wanting to hit back but can't.
Sonny sighs again.
"You do deserve to be happy."
Kei hugs his body.
"Old man, not here. The kids will hear. Don't taint their ears."
He was hit again.
Then Sonny walks slowly away.
***
"I think…..Grandpa likes you." Asher said.
Kei hugs him.
"Please bring back this child's innocence."
Asher escapes his grip.
"I am serious!"
Kei laughs.
"So? Your Grandpa likes me. Are you jealous? Tell him to give me something on my birthday, christmas and new year. Money is also good. The more the merrier."
Asher angrily frowns.
"Idiot. Say that after you think of giving me a bag of candy?"
"Being ungrateful makes you less cute." Kei snorts.
Asher pouts.
Jack sits very close to Kei.
Kei looks at him.
"My birthday is next month."
"........so?"
Jack looks heart broken.
Asher sighs.
"It means you should give him a gift "
Kei nods.
"Gift sure. But Never invite me to a party. I will never come."
Jack tears up.
Asher looks sad too.
"It's so hard to like adult….then this adult despises us." Asher said.
Kei looks away.
"You won't get me with your tears. I hate crying babies the most."
Gasp***
The two boys glare at Kei.
***
Jack and Asher run to the Settir and Roseburn table.
"Brother! Invite Kei to my birthday party." Jack said, pulling Oliver's suit.
"What?" Oliver frowns
"Please?" Jack said,tearing up.
"Just invite him. Once the invitation is made. We will send him."
Jack shakes his head.
"Older brother Kei said He will never come. Please invite him. You are so cool with adults. You can force him!" Jack said aggressively.
Ericson almost spits his drink.
"Eh?"
In the Settir's table.
"Brother! Kei likes you. Tell him to come to Jack's birthday party!" Asher said, shaking Jeremy.
"Eh? What happened?" Jeremy asks.
Sonny looks at them.
"Kei said he won't come. EVER!"
Jeremy laughs.
"Did you perhaps upset him?"
Asher pouts.
"Can I upset him? He is so hard to please. I even told him I will introduce him to Father. Adult people like to be introduced to Father but he said why would he want to be introduced to an old man! Brother, help me."
Jeric smiles vanished.
It seems he is that old that young men disdain him.
His wife Ashley pats his shoulder.
"I still think you are the coolest."
The husband and wife snuggles.
Jeremy smiles.
"Why do you want him to go to Jack's birthday?"
"Cause Jack is my friend and Kei is my friend."
"Hm...Did you tell him that?"
Asher nods.
"What did he say?" Jeremy smiles interestedly.
Asher pouts.
"He said…..Friends are friends wherever they are. That idiot."
Jeremy laughs.
"Well….He is not wrong...pfftttt."
Sonny smiles.
"You should tell him that he will have lots of connections if he goes."
"Grandpa…..You really don't get it? Kei will never care about that. Something more…..Something you can lure him….." Asher is thinking hard.
Jeremy stood up and looked at Kei yawning in the side. He asks a server to call him.
Kei walks to their table.
People look shocked when Kei just walks to their table.
"Brother Jeremy, good evening." Kei said politely.
"Good evening. Enjoying the party?" Jeremy asks.
Kei looks at him with a face who looks like he wants to leave so much.
"Well….It's a good party." He said lying so obviously.
Jeremy laughs.
"Well, you meet my grandfather, Sonny. And this is my father, Jeric and my mother Ashley."
Jeric extends his hand and Kei grabs it to shake.
Instead, Jeric tightly grasps his hand.
"You don't want to meet me?" Jeric asks.
"Misunderstanding….I am so glad to meet you Sir. Can you let go of my hand? I feel like some bones are cracking….."
"Don't bully Kei!" Asher angrily crosses his arms.
Kei looks at Asher.
"It is thanks to you tattling on me, though."
Asher gasps and pouts.
"Kid, are you dissatisfied with me or something? Huh?" Jeric keeps intimidating Kei.
Kei frowns.
"You want to hear?"
"Sure." Jeric crosses his arms.
Kei sighs.
"This party…….Is for eight years old? I don't know but I do not think I will be enjoying this kind of event if I am 8 years old. Rather, this is so boring. And why are there wine? Do rich kids drink wine from infant to toddler? Why's the need for people to come inside your home in a car? Is this discrimination the poor? Why is there a dress code to attend a children's party? It's already evening, children should go home and sleep but nobody is leaving. I want to go home."
Kei said as softly as he can.
Jeric stares at him.
"That last one is not my fault."
Kei looks away.
Asher laughs.
"It's fine. I already celebrate my birthday. We only celebrate it with the family. I can't invite you since it is only us."
Kei nods.
"So that's why. So this it's a post-children's party. I see. I think I get it. Mature is the opposite of childish…..Hmmm..Make no sense but whatever."
Jeric smiles.
"You are a good kid."
Kei tilts his head.
"Where did that came from?"
A/N:
Ohhhh...
1:14am....
I knew it....
I should sleep -_-
Hahahahhahaha
