You always spoiled him. Why is it that the one day it mattered most, he doesn't even see you!?

"Hey, happy birth—" Ranpo turned in his chair, blowing Atsushi off. He'd done the same to anyone else who'd tried congratulating him until they walked away. It wasn't fair that he had to go to work without getting anything from his partner. No special breakfast, no gifts, not even a birthday kiss!

He refused to look at any cases, busying himself with eating all the sweet treats gifted to him from the other members. But the more he ate, the more bitter it tasted until he lost his appetite and stopped altogether.

He knew he was worrying the others, but he didn't care. He was trying to figure out if you'd forgotten or if there was an elaborate plan. Or maybe you just hated him now. Fine. See if he cared.

That being said, the moment the clock hand hit six, he was out of the office and at your home. He swung the front door open, announcing his presence as loudly as possible.

"Hey! I'm home," He slammed the door behind him to make sure you heard how upset he was, since you hadn't seen him all day.

Ranpo squinted. Why's it dark in here? He felt across the wall, "Did you forget what day it is or something?" He huffed as he finally found the light switch.
