[ It is strange to wake up alone, especially today. It's the first birthday of his entire life that he's spent surrounded by anyone more than just his parents and Ame, and for weeks he's wondered on and off what it will be like. He doesn't want a big party, and he doesn't need any gifts. It would be enough just to be close to the people he loves... well, and if they wanted to wear sailor uniforms for a day, that wouldn't be so bad either...
But as soon as the sound of someone bustling about the kitchen reaches his ears, the strangeness takes on a new meaning, and Haruaki's springing out of bed. There's no grogginess to be seen, as ever. He's bright and bouncy as he makes his way out to see the full spread on the table, both hands coming up to slap over his cheeks, eyes huge and round and sparkling as he gasps and grins. ]
Akira-kuuuun! Good morning, good morning– is this really all for me!?
[ He doesn't care that the food isn't perfect!!!! The gestures is so touching, he could cry!!!!!! He will cry in just a few seconds, in fact!!!! ]
Aaaaaall for you! [ Thankfully his hands aren't too busy with cleaning, so he can raise them for proper emphasis when he says, ]
Happy Birthday, Haruaki!!
[ Hana, who'd been loitering in the kitchen, seems to pick up on the energy and gives a whuff as she zooms to Haruaki's side, tail all a-waggin'. We're very happy about papa! ]
Instantly, fat tears begin to well up in Haruaki's eyes and his chin trembles. He should reach down to give Hana her good morning pets, but all he can do his wind his hands in front of his chest in a futile attempt at keeping himself together. He's very audibly holding back a veritable geyser of tears. ]
Th-thank you, Akira-kun, it's... it's the nicest thing a-anyone's ever done for meeeee...
[ Ope, time to immediately leave the sink. His hands might still be a little damp, but that's not gonna stop him from wrapping them around Haruaki without hesitation. ]
It's the very least I could do for you. Were we back home, with all the resources at my disposal, I'd be doing even more and it wouldn't even come close to evening out everything you've done for me.
