[...huh. suguru feels an entire emotion; suguru seeks to bury it immediately, stepping away from his family thrown bday bash. there's a cake, which the girls assure him came from some internet-famous bakery; he's touched, but...
...well. as he looks at his teeny, tiny emoji:]
Is this the best cake you can make? One candle is better than twenty.
[or more? and also: because she can't bake, hahaha, how hilarious!!! but, like, a minute later:]
I didn't think you'd remember.
she doesn't want him to think she was waiting or anything gosh
[ he's more annoying than usual on his birthday. figures. ]
I have something akin to a candle in my mouth right now that I can share with you, except it probably wouldn't pair well with a cake. Actually, maybe it would taste fine with tiramisu?
[ that she can't MAKE. no need to rub it in; it's not like she's too torn up about it. baking is such a hassle. cooking, too. surviving in general. ]
My phone was yelling at me to greet you.
[ she put it in her calendar, just in case; she remembers the date of his birthday just fine. february 3rd. it's just that every day seems to blur together? most of the time she doesn't know what day of the week it is, so she set a reminder like, months ago.
she wouldn't be able to handle his 🥺 face anyway!! ]
40 minutes... this restraint
