Hayato comes to spend Kisumiās birthday with him. Then he wakes up to a surprise.
Kisumi Day 2016.
When Hayato had said he wanted to come and stay with Kisumi for the weekend of his birthday, Kisumi had been more than excited. Sousuke would be busy for the weekend, unfortunately, something about getting roped into taking the shifts a co-worker had guilt-tripped Sousuke into taking. Rin had said there was some matters at his university he needed to attend to, and left it at that. A tiny pang of sadness that gone through him at the thought of not getting to see Rinās face on Skype or feel Sousukeās gentle but nervous fingers running on the inside of his wrists as he mumbled happy birthday as they wished Rin was with them. He could count on Makoto (and Haru by extension) to text him, but really, he was prepared to spend a birthday alone this year.
Then his little brother had called on the phone and asked if he wouldnāt mind him coming, with the promise of his Zootopia dvd for them to watch. He wasnāt about to deny his baby brother in the least and had arranged with his mother to take the train down to Sano and ride up with his brother on the Friday.
Hayato kicked his legs against the seat, beaming up at Kisumi as he cradled the chubby body of his Judy Hopps tsumtsum. Kisumi affectionately patted his head.
āWhat do you think, Hayato? Should we get some snacks while we watch or maybe some pizza?ā Kisumi asked.
Kisumi didnāt bother to hide his smile as Hayatoās eyes widened, his toy nestling up under his chin.
āPizza!ā Hayato cheered.
āPizza it is. Weāll make sure to leave a little for Sousuke, too, right? Heās going to be hungry when he comes home from work,ā Kisumi added.
āSou-nii isnāt going to watch with us?ā Hayato said, a little crestfallen. He always was fond of Sousuke.
āNot this time. But he was really looking forward to it. He thinks Chief Bogo is cool,ā Kisumi joked.
āIāll take him to the Disney Store then!ā Hayato said. āWe can pick one out for Rin-nii, too.ā
Kisumi leaned his chin into his hand, elbow digging into the back of his train seat with a grin; āRin would definitely love that, Hayato.ā
He pulled his little brother up under his arm and told him to lay his head on his lap and nap for a bit, since they still had two hours to go.
-
āHere we are, Hayato! Home sweet home,ā Kisumi said, dropping his little brother to his feet as they crossed through the doorway. āWhat do you think?ā
Hayato kicked off his shoes, hands still gripping his kiddie bag straps as he took in his surroundings.
āItās not as nice as your room at home, Brother,ā Hayato admitted. Children were always so unfiltered, it could sometimes be really adorable. āThereās not a lot of things.ā
Kisumi laughed; āThatās because Sousuke and I donāt have Mom and Dad to help us furnish it. But hopefully the next time you come, itāll be a bit nicer.ā
Hayato seemed placated with that, following after Kisumi down the hall and into his room. They paused a moment to peek into Sousukeās dark little cave of a room. It was less messy than Kisumi had imagined. Rinās influence on his friend had been apparent. Then they dumped Hayatoās stuff on Kisumiās bed and hurried back to the living room to boot up the Zootopia DVD as Kisumi dialed for a few boxes of pizza. Hayato wouldnāt eat more than two at best, but Sousuke could probably eat a whole box on his own. It was best to prepare.
Hayato scrambled up onto their old couch, his bunny resting on the tops of his knees as he dutifully watched through the previews. He recited the dialogue almost word for word as he joined in. By the end of the second or third preview, he had gotten Kisumi to promise at least three different movie outings with him.
Kisumi borrowed the blue polka dot patterned blanket Sousuke had brought from his parentsā home from the hall closet and draped it around Hayatoās shoulders, clicked off the lights, and settled down with his little brother as Mickeyās familiar whistling came on screen.
-
Kisumi vaguely registered that he was being moved. His eyelids were too heavy and all he could do was lazily paw at the air half-heartedly to try and grab the back of Hayatoās shirt. A hand instead grabbed his, lacing their fingers together. The soft feel of lips on his fingers made Kisumi snuggle into the shoulder his cheek was lying against.
Kisumi was laid down on his bed, shifting almost immediately onto his side. He cracked his eyes open long enough to see a pair of arms laying Hayato down next to him, still draped in the blue polka dot blanket. Another pair of hands gently brushed at the little boyās bangs before drawing up the blanket under his chin. What looked like ears poked out from under the sheets.
A pair of lips pressed against Kisumiās forehead. He hummed softly, slinging an arm over his baby brother as his eyes drifted shut. Another kissed was pressed to the underside of his jaw before Kisumi was out like a light.
-
Kisumi heard faint angry muttering before anything else as he was waking up. He groaned, reaching across his bed to try and rouse Hayato from where he was supposed to be also sleeping if last night wasnāt a complete dream. The only one strong enough to carry him would be Sousuke, Kisumi figured, but that couldnāt be right. Kisumi patted the empty space and hurriedly shot up, looking around. Hayatoās Judy Hopps tsumtsum was the only thing staring back at him from underneath Sousukeās polka dot blanket where his little brother should have been.
āHayato?ā Kisumi softed called.
āShi - Shoot!ā Someone hissed down the hall. It sounded suspiciously like Rin if he was straining his ears right. But that couldnāt be?
āDonāt cuss around the kid,ā Sousuke whispered back. āAnd donāt be so loud. Youāll wake Kisumi.ā
āCan I try some?ā Hayatoās voice piped in. There was some shuffling before Sousukeās deep voice softly said something like āhereā.
Kisumi blinked. He threw off his sheets and hurried out of his room towards the kitchen. More faint but indiscernible cursing, notably in English was heard alongside the click of Sousukeās tongue. Kisumiās feet hit the creak just before the kitchen on the laminated floor, making everyone in the kitchen turn towards him.
Kisumiās eyes widened; āRin. What are you doing here?ā Kisumi breathed around a surprised laugh. āSousuke, youāre up before noon. Donāt you have work by one?ā
Rin looked at him a bit sheepishly from where his hands were covered in batter and botched looking cookies were being laid out on a cookie tray. Beside him was Sousuke looking deliberately grumpy at Kisumiās jab. Another mix of batter was in his hands. Between them, standing on a chair was Hayato, peeking around Rinās arm.
āGood morning, Brother,ā Hayato greeted. āHappy Birthday.ā
Rin motioned down at Hayato with his chin; āWhat he said. Happy Birthday. I couldnāt miss another one of your birthdays right? Sousuke and I have been planning this for a month.ā
Kisumiās eyes flew towards Sousuke. āBut you had that other shift?ā
āLied, sorta,ā Sousuke mumbled. āI did do an overtime shift last night and the night before so I could have the weekend free. My co-worker actually switched with me.ā
Sousuke nudged Hayato, who nodded. Sousuke picked Hayato up from underneath his arms and gently placed him on the ground. Then he put a plate stacked high with pancakes in his hands, and walked behind him, hands hovering behind his little shoulders, as they made their way past Kisumi and towards the dining table. Taking his eyes off of Hayato for a split second, Sousuke bent to peck him quickly at the corner of his mouth with a quiet, āHappy Birthdayā. Kisumi balked a bit; Sousuke was usually so embarrassed to be so intimate with others around, especially with Hayato just a few feet away. He deliberately didnāt look at Kisumiās loving grin as he turned bcak to Hayato, ears pink. Sousuke took the plate from the little boy to put on the table before high-fiving him.
A nudge at the back of his leg made Kisumi turn towards Rinās sly grin.Rin stepped into his space, lips parted invitingly as Kisumi grinned a little coyly back at him. Rin motioned him down, a slightly longer kiss on his lips as Rin murmured a āHappy Birthdayā into his mouth before turning back to making a mess out of the batter.
Kisumi rubbed the back of his neck. He yelped as Sousuke hauled him out of the kitchen to walk past him to Rinās otherside. āGo sit with Hayato,ā Sousuke instructed. āWeāll join you in a minute.ā
Kisumi glanced back in time to see another two plates of food in Sousukeās hands, and Sousuke teasingly drawing away from Rin each time he tried to nip at his bottom Ā lip. Kisumi sat down next to Hayato, putting some of the smaller pancakes on Hayatoās plate. After the table had been filled, and the cookies haphazardly put into the oven, and Rinās hands finally free of his mess, they all sat down to eat.
Ten minutes later, Rin was jumping up at the ding of their timer and taking out his tray of ugly but surprisingly tasty sugar cookies. They piled the cookies up, taking out a tube of pink icing to write a messy, āHappy Birthday Kisumiā across them and serenaded him.
āNow for presents! I saved up just to get it for you!ā Hayato said. āWait here, brother.ā
Hayato slid off his chair and ran down the hall into Kisumiās room. Rin beamed after the little boy.
āHeās actually the one who got me and Sousuke up this morning, you know?ā Rin said. āI got in late last night, and took a cab in time to get Sousuke from work and come back here.ā
āHe almost made us promise that we couldnāt leave without watching his movie with him,ā Sousuke added. āSo I hope youāre ready for a rerun.ā
Kisumi waved a hand; āI really wanted to watch it again anyway. Doesnāt bother me. But...Rin might cry.ā
āShut up!ā
āRin,ā Kisumi joked. āIām just warning you before hand.ā
āI believe it,ā Sousuke said, snickering. āHeās been dying to see it. He missed watching it in Australia.ā
āYou didnāt even bother watching it at all,ā Rin accused.
āI had Hayato to rely on for that,ā Sousuke piped in.
āThat just means youāre lazy, Sousuke,ā Kisumi said. Rin pinched Sousukeās cheek when he frowned.
The sound of Hayatoās feet on the laminate floor, they all turned to watch Hayato leaping into Kisumiās lap. He pushed something soft into Kisumiās face, eyes wide with excitment. Kisumi cradled his brother in the crook of his arm as he looked over at it. āDo you like it?ā Hayatoās small voice said. Ā A Nick Wilde tsumtsum to mirror his brotherās Judy one, how could he not?. Kisumi squeezed his brother against him, pressing kisses all over his face. Somewhere to the side Rin was sniffling.
āThank you, Hayato! I love it,ā Kisumi said between kisses. āHeāll never leave my bed. And heāll come with me when I visit. Howās that?ā
āThatās good,ā Hayato said, trying to turn away from his brother. He slid a little out of his grasp before Kisumi was hauling him back up and tickling him. āWait, wait! I just ate!ā
āYeah, give the kid a break, you havenāt even gotten our gift yet!ā Rin piped.
Kisumi paused. He resettled Hayato on his lap with Nick on Hayatoās. Rin stood up, fishing out a little box from his pockets. Sousuke nervously tapped his hands on the table top.
āProposing?ā Kisumi gasped. āRin, Iām not ready yet!ā
āShut up!ā Rin barked, face turning red as Kisumiās grin grew wider. āWhy donāt you open it, huh?ā
Hayato accepted the box for him, holding it in his hands as Kisumi took the lid off. Kisumi blinked. A single key sat in the middle of a wad of cotton, with a small keyring attached. Kisumi took it out, twisting it in his hands.
āA keyā¦.to your heart, Rin?ā Kisumi joked.
āNo, a key to our new home,ā Sousuke piped in. āThree bedroom, two bathrooms. A pretty decent backyard for a kid or a dog.ā he cleared his throat. āIf you like that sort of thing.ā
āThree bedrooms?ā Kisumi inquired, with a quirk of his lips. āHayato gets his own room?ā
āMaybe,ā Rin added in hastily. āIf everything goes right, maybe Hayato will have...two rooms?ā
Kisumi felt his cheeks burning before he had even realized it. He looked back at the key again, a wobbly smile on his lips. Hayato looked between them, confused. He laid a hand to his brotherās in questioning. Kisumi petted his head.
āI think things will go pretty okay,ā Kisumi admitted. āMore than okay.ā
Sousuke and Rinās shoulders sagged, and Kisumi bent to bury his face in Hayatoās curls. He peeked up in time to see Sousuke reaching for Hayato who gladly wove his arms around the other manās neck, sitting on his forearm easily. Rin came around his other side, pulling Kisumi to his feet, hand decidedly tangled in his with no option to let go. Sousuke sat in the middle with Hayato in his lap, and Kisumi and Rin on either side. Hayato pulled a handkerchief from his pockets and handed it to Rin.
āHere you go, Rin-nii,ā Hayato said. āI remembered to bring one for you just in case.ā
Rin didnāt even have the heart to be upset. He only kissed the little boy on his forehead and settled down against Sousukeās shoulder as Kisumi did the same. He turned on the DVD player and they buckled down for the movie.

AN: (Late!!) Kisumi Day entry. Kisumiās birthday isnāt on the weekend obviously, but for the purpose of letting Hayato stay with him to avoid him missing school, I changed it, yeah? I imagine he ended up going to Tokyo as well, sharing an apartment with Sousuke. So please excuse that little tidbit if you will!
I may or may not also want a Nick Wilde tsumtsum, shhhh. Though, I think Hayato would really like Judy the most. So, the Nick one goes to his big brother.
Google says 3 hours by train from Tokyo to Iwami? So, thatās what I was going with.
