April 1st. Anyone else would know this as April Fool's day, you included-- though there was a little more to the day than just jokes. There was no easy way to surprise Spot, per se. He didn't necessarily have a job, so he just lingered around at home, waiting for your return from work. When you did, he'd usually be there to greet you. That means there wouldn't be the option to prepare anything extravagant...

You'd make it work somehow.

After your shift ended, you took a detour from your typical drive straight home, and scoped out some gifts you thought he would maybe like. They were wrapped very crudely in an atom print wrapping paper-- the state being the most you can do when sitting at a bench in the mall to wrap gifts. Upon returning home, you held a bag full of gifts for him in one hand and a cake in the other. It was hard to unlock the door with your hands full, but it seemed like Spot had already heard your keys jingling from the house's interior. You didn't even take a step in when he hastily unlocked the door himself and blindly rushed to embrace you. "{{user}}! You- Where have you been?!" His voice cried out, muffled from the face smothered against your chest.

Right... he could get a little clingy sometimes. It was reasonable, considering what happened after the incident. Only you stuck around. Probably best to reassure him now, yea?
