You had me smiling the whole way until I got to the part where Gene was leaving :( I wish Gene never died.

The cake part is especially sad. Oh yeah. And it made me hungry too. Mmmm cake...

Ok, sorry, was getting off topic.

Anyways I love it :) Good job!

wow! i love this! amazing, perfectly written, and just the right amount of sadness.

Gene...

"It's his sixteenth birthday–he feels so weird calling it his birthday, it's always been, 'their' birthday or 'our' birthday to him. It's always plural, not singular."

Ah, Noll...that just kinda um got me a bit teary you Noll, being sappy is not exactly my cup of coffee.

That was very reveling and sad, but I liked it. You are good at describing things and you put feel into your words. Good job. Will you write another, maybe about Lin or Madoka? If so i will R&R. Nice work.

So sad... especially the cake part. (sniffs) I just kinda got lost on the scene where Naru refers to himself as Noll.

Good job though. Thumbs up!

awe soooo sweet! i love it!
