[hoasen]

[She steps aside to let him in, quickly pushing back a strand of stubborn hair behind her ear before she sees how he's handing her the items. She does hold her hands at first, before he changes his mind to put them down.

She brushes her hands again, and clears her throat.]

T-thank you Samatoki! You really didn't have to...it's already nice enough to spend time with you. [AHHHHH WHAT ARE WORDS.] I mean, the flowers are already beautiful! [She picks them up, holds them close.] I'll put them in water!

[coasts]

You're the star for today.

[ He says it calmly now that he's put down her gifts. He'll let her do what she wants with the flowers and the cake. ]

Tell me what you want me to do, and I'll do it for you.

[hoasen]

[Why is he so cute? She's deeply moved even if she was wondering if she should be lowkey today. And then he goes ahead and says this.]

I want to spend time with you. Um.

[She clutches onto the flowers.]

S-shall we share the gift?! [There are a great many things she wants to do with him, and suddenly she's overwhelmed she doesn't know what to say. Samatoki is just so good?]

[coasts]

I'm gonna.

[ They're!! Not!! Dating!! But he likes her a lot. He wants to spend time with her and make her feel special. ]

Oh, yeah, sure. [ he has no idea what flavour it is though gasdlkgshd help him....... ] I hope you like... fruits.

[hoasen]

Then...I'm really glad.

[They're not "Dating" but she sure feels like she's being spoilt! Right now, her heart swells.

Surprise cake flavour time. She shuffles on the spot and nods.]

I do like fruits. That's the cake, no? I think I have a single candle in the kitchen, somewhere...should we light it up?

[Do they do this properly?!]

[coasts]

Yeah, sure. Go get it.

[ He'll light it up with his lighter!! ]

I'll sing for you.

[ And he'll also record her blowing the candle and making a wish! ]

[hoasen]

[Cute...CUTE. What a nice idea! Also, since he's a rapper and she already likes his voice, him singing is already something she's eager for.]

I'll be back!

[And she quickly makes her way to the kitchen to grab a candle, a knife, and some places and forks. Might as well get them all, just in case. She returns shortly after, and places them all on the table, ready to set up the cake.]

[coasts]

[ He has his comms device ready to record by the time she comes back, but he puts it down first to light the candle. ]

Ready?

[ Because he's started recording and also singing! Stay cute for the camera, Sen! ]

[hoasen]

[He's going to record this! Normally she'd be too shy for this but...he's going to sing and he's lit up the candle! It's a memory she would love a momento of, so she lets it happen.

And she can't even help but smile as he sings, that she has to hold her cheeks. Samatoki!]

[coasts]

[ He doesn't stop recording even after he's done singing. ]

Ah. Go and make a wish now.

[hoasen]

[She's deeply moved, but also maybe she's swooning a little at how nice he sings. He's already good at rap, but what is this? It's wonderful.

She clasps her hands before she makes a wish (a secret) and leans forward to blow the candle.]

[coasts]

[ He manages to capture a photo just before the candle gets blown out. It's a really great picture. With that done, he keeps his phone in his pocket and approaches her to give her a headpat. ]

What'd you wish for?

[hoasen]

[She wants to see! But she's also afraid. Hmm.]

Should I really tell you?

[She doesn't mind at all, actually, as she preens when he pats her head. She's just playing a little since she's in such a good mood.]

[coasts]

[ His eyes narrow as he looks at her, a little suspicious. ]

Why's it feel like I shouldn't ask anymore?

[hoasen]

[She quickly shakes her head.]

It's not that. It's just that I wonder if I should tell you my wish at all, since it's a wish.

[Which is probably extra cheesy.]

[coasts]

There some kinda sayin' like that?

[ ARE YOU NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT WISHES ]

[hoasen]

Some customs says we are not allowed to say. I'm not sure if all of them!

[That's what she keeps seeing on TV!]

[coasts]

Ah, well. You don't gotta say it, then.

[ He doesn't... really care now. He's fine with what she believes in. ]

[hoasen]

Mmm, now I wish I can say a little.

[Hmm...]

Alright, I will show you instead.

[And she leans over to give him a kiss on the corner of his mouth. And pulls back and pretends she never did that.]

[coasts]

[ YOU'RE KILLING HIM HERE, SEN...

He's red when she pulls away, and he's definitely grumbling when she does. ]

I thought about kissin' you when I got here... wasn't sure if it was something you'd like an' all.

[ It's her birthday! Of course he wants to kiss her. . . but they're not dating, so it's not like he's in any position to kiss her casually. ]

[hoasen]

[NO YOU'RE KILLING HER?

She's growing redder now with his admission and then she sits more directly towards him.]

If it's from you, I'd like it.

[SCREAMS INTERNALLY FOR SAYING IT LIKE THAT.]

[coasts]

[ Ah.. she's really got it bad for him. But his heart skips a beat when she says that. Does he have it bad for her, too? Shit. ]

... you sure?

[hoasen]

[Can't believe he's still thinking that when--oh hey. What do you know. That's right, Samatoki. THAT'S RIGHT.

Meanwhile, she gives a small nod, reaching out to take his hands.]

I'm sure.

[coasts]

[ . . . STAY COOL, SAMATOKI. (Wait. You were never cool??) ]

Close your eyes, then.

[ He has to give her a proper one now. ]

[hoasen]

[It's happening. IT'S HAPPENING.

But she closes her eyes as he requested.]
