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.]

[coasts]

[ This is the first time he's kissing her without the influence of the moon, huh? It's... a real kiss. IT'S A REAL KISS!!! He's not even thinking about it though, more focused on leaning forward, closing his eyes when he's close enough, licking his lips just before he presses them against hers.

He probably tastes like nicotine. He was smoking before coming here. Some people don't like that, but that's not even something Samatoki considers. They've kissed before. She knows what he tastes like, but a kiss like this, without the aggressiveness and possessiveness of Sanguis is genuine and caring and soft on its own. He. . . really does like Sen. ]

[hoasen]

[It's strange how she's a little more nervous about this considering it's their first real kiss, one not empowered by certain moon cycles. It's strange because she's used to that taste, how he looks when he leans in close, and yet it's all so new.

He's so gentle, that it has her heart fluttering more than it would had they been affected. She returns that kiss just as softly, hand lifted to touch his cheek. Maybe she does have it bad for him. Will she ever tell him? Or does it already show by how she kisses him?]

[coasts]

[ For a normal person, it shows. Samatoki's not thinking too much about things having underlying meanings, though. But he also believes Vietnam has a crush on him??? Except his basis for that is something else entirely. . .

There's a moment of silence even after he pulls away, as if savouring the feeling and the atmosphere. Eventually, ]

I wanted to do that.
