A new year mightâve arrived, but he was no closer to figuring out how to get out of this city.
However! This was not what was on his mind today! What was on his mind instead, was the fact that he was a day late. He hadnât forgotten, he swears- but the thing he was looking for was nowhere to be found, and to show up empty-handed was in extremely poor taste. As he couldnât find anything to give yesterday, he figured it would be best to arrive a day late with something instead.
Thankfully, today he was able to find what heâd been looking for, so with the gift neatly wrapped in a decorative cloth, he knocked on the door in front of him until it opened.
â⊠Iâm a day late, but, happy birthday, Hinata,â he held out the gift heâd been trying so hard to find, a box of, hopefully, good quality kusamochi, âyou probably get this a lot so sorry for the uncreativity, but I hope itâs good anyways.â
âI swear I hadnât forgotten, by the way! But it was impossible to find this yesterday, which is fucking ridiculous! And showing up without anything just looks pathetic, right?!â
Itâs no custom made cake, though to be fair, he doubted his ability to make something like that himself- he didnât eat anything with lactose in it, anyways, and teaching himself how to make lactose-free variants hadnât crossed his mind basically ever, so he hoped that just giving Hajimeâs favourite kind of mochi would be considered thoughtful enough.
Hajime blinked at Kuzuryuu and the (belated) birthday gift that was offered to him. The arguably dumb look on his face was soon replaced by a huge grin when a familiar scent reached his nose.Â
âCan I open this?â Hajime asked just to be polite. Not that he needed to open his gift to know what Kuzuryuu had given him. This kusamochi smelled really good.Â
At Kuzuryuuâs outburst, Hajime changed his attitude as well. He channelled his inner drama queen before giving the performance of his life.
âI have been so lonely without you. In my every waking moment I was thinking of you, waiting for you. My dearest... My dearest friend. You were in my thoughts the whole time, and yet you didnât come. How I wished to see you.â
As if a switch had been flipped, Hajime suddenly changed back to his ânormalâ self.
âNah, itâs fine. I saw your text. You were welcome to come visit me without a gift, though. I had some datemaki, the good ones.â
