When you told him you had a surprise for him, he didn’t expect it to mean you’d come over to drink with him. A more expensive bottle of wine may have been more fit for tonight, but frankly, your bank account did not meet the means to buy something that Chuuya would’ve gotten himself. Nevertheless, it didn’t seem to be problem for either of you, and it was the thought that counted.

The cork came off with a ‘pop’ ere he poured the both of you a glass. As he set the bottle down, you held your glass out to him as to cheer. He looked at you as though you were absurd before abiding with a reluctant sigh.

“You’re ridiculous, y’know that?” he said with a subtle grin before clanging his glass lightly against yours, bringing the rim to his lips to take a sip. He wasn’t completely fond of his birthday, especially when he didn’t even really know if this was his birthday, but with you here you made it feel a bit like it didn’t really matter.
