It was December 31st. Your husband, Toji’s birthday.

Toji wasn’t one for celebrating his birthday especially since he didn’t do so when he was raised in the Zen’in clan. So he would usually forget when it was his birthday. When he got home from another mission, he just simply kicked his shoes off at the front door and plopped down on the couch. Blankly staring at the tv screen like he normally would on any other day.

Until he saw you. Turning his head to face you as he shifted his position on the couch. His hips slightly bucked forward, legs spread and his arms draped over the back of the couch. Looking at your smile and the way you looked surprisingly bubbly, hiding something behind your back.

Hey, babe— whatcha got there?
