love picks her up and carries her a few feet before dumping her on top of a cake the size of her body. "happy birthday, hiyori." he laughs.
"Ehh?! LOVE!" She's yelping at the unexpected little pick-up. Large, strong hands wrapping around her little shoulders and lifting her up as if she weighs next to nothing. The back she's on is familiar- it's not the first time he's yeeted her up into the air, but this time it's a little gentler than usual. She's still squawking though, until he plops her right on top... of a birthday cake?!
Hiyori's huge eyes are staring (still upwards) at Love and notes that he's laughing warmly at her. It's lucky that the cake has a dummy layer at the side where she can perch on, instead of ruining the creation. She's picking at a strawberry, covered in generous helpings of cream and stuffs it into her mouth. The sugar and milky combination is delicious. As usual, any fuss made for her on her birthday is welcome.
"Ha! Was this what you were working on? This cake is yummy! Thanks, Love!" She's touched and amused at the same time. "Don't tell me Shinji's gonna jump outta this cake too? He did so one year and set himself on fire."
Her eyes are fondly amused as she recalls this memory.
"It's nice that yer celebratin' with me this year." She really does think that the gift is just being able to care about her well-being for so long. She's not the easiest person to get along with, but Love never hesitates to want to include her in things.
