[attr="class","skullbody"]Five years being away from home, away from family, away from any memories of his old life, and yet there was one thing Isaac refused to let go of.[break][break] It was El's birthday, and Isaac wouldn't miss it for the world.[break][break] Okay, sure. It wasn't like Isaac ever attended those birthdays. He knew his presence would just derail the whole thing into chaos. However, like some kind of cryptid version of Santa Claus, he always found a way to sneak into their old home and drop off some gifts for his little sibling.[break][break] He never really had much to give in the past. They were little more than simple tokens and mementos of his adventures, signs that El was always going to be on his mind. However, now he had so many more resources at his disposal. Between Rocket jobs, his steady work at the Howling, and any lingering royalties from his contest performances, Isaac could actually whip up some proper gifts.[break][break] El's situation had changed, too. Apparently they weren't at home anymore. Instead, they were staying over in Fortree City in a Secret Base of their own invention. Isaac wished they weren't stuck struggling by and living off the land, but if he had a problem with it he'd be a hypocrite.[break][break] He also wouldn't be directly saying anything about it. Before, he refused to show up because he was a disgrace to the family and would throw the day into chaos. Now, he refused to show up half because he was terrified to answer for the past few years and half because he was an active danger to everyone around him. El had already been thrown into the mess more than he'd cared to admit, but he wasn't going to be making it worse. Never, ever.[break][break] Maybe the fact that he wore the mask didn't help. But what was easier? Explaining that he, a Rocket grunt, was attempting a crime and would now flee into the night? Or sitting down and having an honest conversation with his little sibling?[break][break] . . . Oh, don't look at him like that.[break][break] Regardless! Sneak in. Leave gifts. Sneak out. It was a nice, simple plan, and one that Isaac was immaculately practiced by now. He knew that, by the stroke of midnight, he'd be helping set up his little sibling's best birthday yet.
