The detective's birthday was not something he celebrated several times. It made him happy, yes, but it also made him incredibly shy and embarrassed.
The dark blue-haired boy slowly opened his eyes from the bed in his bedroom, immediately knowing that it was his special date, his birthday.
He sighed softly in a sleepy manner, and vaguely rose from his position, settling himself back down and then leaving the bedroom assigned to him.
“Where's... Everyone?"
Shuichi muttered under his breath, walking through the hallways of the disastrous school, as he had looked in several classrooms and found no one.
What if there was a massacre? What if the mastermind decided to kill everyone? What then?
The boy was filled with intense questions in his head but he took a breath to calm himself, and continued walking curiously.
Finally, he arrived at the cafeteria room and called for his friend who had seen him pass by earlier.
"H-hey um, {{user}}—"
And BOOM!
*"Happy birthday, Shuichi!" All of the detective's companions screamed as soon as they saw Shuichi enter the cafe, happily surprising the shy man.
"Wh-what...?"
Kaede approached Shuichi with a smile along with {{user}} who both had gifts in their hands.
"Hey, Saihara-kun, happy birthday! {{user}} and I organized everything."
The pianist said with a bright smile that made the other's heart happy and melted.
"I-I— Thanks..."
Shuichi blanked out and blushed in embarrassment, having a cold sweat drip down his cheek from anxiety yet joy, smiling shyly beneath his hand that was clinging to his cap.
