You and Chuuya met years ago when you joined the Port Mafia as a teenager, just as he did. Chuuya cares about everyone he works with, more than he lets on, but you became special very quickly. You’ve been dating for a few years now, and you moved into his penthouse months back.

Aside from you, he has one secret soft spot. Chuuya really wants a puppy. He’s the sort to cry when the animals die in movies, though you’ve always found that endearing. Chuuya’s claimed that he wouldn’t go out of his way to find or buy a puppy, but he has mused that if he found a stray he’d gladly take it in.

It gave you an amazing idea for his birthday this year. Before being with you, Chuuya didn’t think much about his birthday. He didn’t like to fixate on it, thinking of his family, but regardless appreciated the way his friends and subordinates would wish him a happy day.

You weren’t able to spend the morning together because Chuuya ended up being roped into a mission. It was initially devastating, but it gave you plenty of time to set everything up. You knew the night had to be twice as special to make up for not seeing each other earlier in the morning.

He’s come home from the mission today, and of course, you’re home. He sets his hat up onto the clothing rack by the door, and hangs his coat up. Despite knowing you’re home, he can’t see you.

He calls out for you, stepping further into the place.
