Most Dreaded Day of The Year

Most Dreaded Day of the Year


By Mija


Disclaimer~Nope do NOT own Naruto and Company. Yes I have bad spelling and grammer and punctuation problems, I am working on that. One shot. Short and pretty depressing. Self absorbed and just plain ranting, in fic form. Huggles Mija.

~~~Iruka looked at the clock at his nightstand and sighed. He couldn't sleep. It was always like this this time of the year. The most dreaded day of the year in Iruka's opinion. He had been pretty grumpy and pissy for the last two weeks, and would most likely be so for the following two weeks. It was like this every year. It was sort of like a ritual now. Something that occured almost flawlessly. Come morning it was Iruka's birthday and God how he hated that day with everything in his being. Not for what most people would think, not because he was getting older and all that, cause he could handle that pretty well. It was what the day represented. It was his BIRTHDAY. HIS. It should be a day of happiness, a day filled with the company of family and friends and something special, or at least something diffrent from the everyday things he always did. It was supposed to be HIS day. The one day out of the year he should be happy and greeted warmly. But like every year it was the same thing over and over again. Those that knew it was his birthday, usually forgot it was his birthday and usually called him at twelve midnight, after his birthday was over mind you, to tell them they were sorry but Happy Birthday! Oh joy.

~~~The people who did remember on occasion, like Naruto. Would invite him out to eat ramen, like they did EVERYDAY, and Iruka was the one who usually paid since the boy was still a genin and low on funds. Iruka sighed. It wasn't Naruto's fault. It really wasn't anyone's fault. But he always got depressed when his birthday rolled around. He couldn't help it. He had no family save Naruto. He had lots of aquaintances, but few true friends. And he always did his best to make others birthdays special for that person, cause he thought it should be, it was THIER day and it should be special for them. Just once though, he wished that others thought about him that way. Not that he did what he did for payback, because he didn't. For him it bought him joy. He liked doing for others. He liked watching the surprise on thier faces, the happiness and smiles. It made him happy, and on this day, it made him ache. For once he wanted to be the one smiling. The one surprised. The one who was happy and full of joy. But for some reason, it was like fate had decreed, that it was to be like this every year, without fail. Come rain or shine, it was the same thing only differing on occasion.

~~~Like sometimes Naruto didn't ask him out to ramen. Sometimes he was out on a mission, or so busy with training he forgot. His students, who had known it was his birthday the day before, usually forgot as some new sort of gossip or drama or prank sprunk up. And Iruka would NOT resort to telling them or reminding him it was his birthday. That was just pathetic. But mostly, it hurt the most when the people who were the closest to him, forgot to at least say happy birthday. Iruka's parents were good parents, they doted on Iruka like crazy. But they were ninja's as well, and alot of the time, which was usually, they were out on a mission or to busy with reports and other ninja stuff, that sometimes THEY even forgot till they were putting him to bed. Yes they swore they would make it up to him, that they would go out and do something special with him come morning and Iruka would nod and smile, but inside he was crying that it wasn't the same. Tomorrow wasn't his birthday. Today was, and celebrating it on another day, was just not the same.

~~~Yes Iruka was probably selfish. He knew this. And he hated himself for it. But he couldn't change how he felt, even when he tried. He swore every year that he wouldn't let this get to him. To not think of this day any diffrent as any other day. But inside he knew and it grated and ate at him like crazy. He always sword, that he would not expect nothing, he would not think of it as anything special so that when nothing happened he wouldn't be hurt. Of course, a part of him always hoped this year would be diffrent. That someone would remember. Someone would do something nice for him, or tell him happy birthday while it was still daylight and his actual birthday. He would be happy just to spend the day with those he cared about. But now a days, they were always so busy. He didn't have a boyfriend the year before, but he did this year, so he had hoped something would happen, a nice candlelit dinner, some hot sex afterwards. But Kakashi was on a two week mission, starting yesterday. So he was gone and not here which made Iruka want to yell to the sky and growl out his frustrations. It was all pathetic really and for once he wished that this day never existed. He looked at the clock again. It was one after midnight and technically his birthday. He sighed sadly.

~~~Iruka rolled around and covered himself in his blankets, facing away from the clock. He had class and really should go to sleep. It was going to be a long day tomorrow. And if he didn't get anysleep, then he was going to be more bitchy than usual. As he drifted off to sleep, a tune could be heard lightly in the room. "Happy Birthday, to me...Happy Birthday to me...Happy Birthday to me." As Iruka drifted off to sleep.

A/N~Ok so I suck, I needed to vent ok. Today is my birthday and that is pretty much what I go threw every year. And yes I actually sighed to myself and sang to myself last night. And this morning my son woke up, went to work and didn't even remember to say Happy Birthday. ya ya Im whining and being silly, but I really HATE my birthday. So what better way to vent than write about it huh? lol, dont hate me too much people. Im usually a happy person all year round, but I truelly do get pissy two weeks before and two weeks after my birthday. Cant help it. Im a very sad sad person lol. But other than that hope you guys liked it, sort of. lol, huggles and smiles Mija...:-)
