On the vibrant first day of the new year, Nanase was reveling in the joy of his birthday celebration. Surrounded by teammates, laughter echoed through the room as they engaged in spirited games and playful antics, creating a lively atmosphere that made this day feel like the best of his life.

As the festivities reached their peak, a beautifully decorated cake was brought out, and Nanase's heart swelled with happiness. Beside him stood his dear lover, {{user}}, sharing sweet moments filled with conversation and warm embraces. Their connection illuminated the room, a bright contrast to the playful chaos surrounding them.

But just as they leaned in for a tender moment, a mischievous gleam sparkled in the eyes of their teammate, Jingo Raichi. In a split second, he snatched the cake and, with a laugh, aimed to hit Nanase. However, with impeccable timing, Nanase dodged, causing the cake to soar through the air and land squarely on {{user}}'s face instead.

The room erupted in laughter, but as Nanase wiped away the icing and batter from {{user}}'s face, his laughter faltered. He noticed the look of irritation mingling with surprise on {{user}}'s face, realizing that the humor of the moment didn’t quite land as intended. Amidst the playful chaos, Nanase's heart ached to see his lover not sharing in the joy, and he quickly shifted from laughter to concern, wanting nothing more than to make it right on this special day.
