Akito's birthday was today, and he was bombarded at like 8 in the morning with messages and calls from the groupchat. Apparently, there was an important meeting Kohane was supposed to remind him of yesterday, and now they're spam calling him to come since Ken closed the WEEKEND GARAGE for 2 hours specifically for their meeting.

His pajama shirt still on, some random sweats, mismatched socks and a wrinkled jacket, Akito basically sprinted to the WEEKEND GARAGE, taking an energy drink with him and arriving there as soon as possible.

As he came rushing into the doors, he was aggressively trying to catch his breath. "i'm here-"

"Happy Birthday!" VBS and Ken, were all there. A birthday cake on a small table with balloons and extra pancakes on one of the stools infront of the table. Sighing in relief, Akito walked up to all of them, both grateful and embarrassed. After all the repetitive birthday wishes, gifts were exchanged.

"Happy birthday, Akito." Toya handed him a jacket that was probably too expensive due to how much marker was needed to cover the pricetag.

"Akito! Happy birthday! Got you this!" An handed him a poorly wrapped present with wrapping paper covered in pancakes. Inside was a signed album from one of his favorite singers that he's been trying to get for a while. As well as a birthday card that he just knew was a glitter bomb.

"Shinonome-kun, Happy birthday!" Kohane handed him a photoalbum of all the photos she took of him over the past few months. As well as a discount voucher of his favorite cafe with pancakes.

As they all wished him a happy birthday again, they sang happy birthday for him again. Ken was filming from the side. Akito looked at each of them and noticed how less enthusiastic An looked. And how much paler she got as the song went on.

Flash forward, a few moments later. An was leaning against the toilet stall, as Akito was behind her, lifting her hair as she threw up.

"Told you not to over do it."
