Usually I post fics on Fridays but today is a special day! It's my best friend @niku0704 birthday!!!!!! Happy birthday Niku!!!! You are an amazing friend, a talented artist and one of the best people I have ever met!!! This is for you. I hope you have an amazing birthday today!!!
Seungmin had everything planned out months in advance. He was gonna give you the perfect date. Currently, he stood at your door rehearsing what he was gonna say to you. It wasn’t an act. He genuinely loved you more than anything. He just had a bad habit of forgetting his words and being a little bit awkward around you.
“Hi,” he stuttered, handing you a box of candy, “happy…birthday. You look…pretty. Do you wanna…head out?”
You nodded as you grabbed your purse and headed out to whatever Seungmin had planned for you.
There was nothing better than a good burger and fries. Not the type that was gourmet and had eight hundred ingredients on it that were hard to pronounce. But the good old classic. You were so nervous about eating it. It was so big, and you didn’t want to get anything on your face and look sloppy. You watched Seungmin as he looked at you in confusion. “What’s wrong?” he asked as he took a fry and bit it, “Is it not good?”
“No,” you insisted as you set down the burger, looking down ashamed, “I just don’t wanna be messy in front of you.”
You didn’t look up at him, but you heard him laugh, “I don’t care if you get it all over your face. As long as you're happy, you could look like you just rolled out of bed and spilled cereal all over yourself. In my eyes, you’re the most beautiful girl in the world.” You took a big bite of your burger, which was amazing by the way. Seungmin always knew
As you were getting your plates taken away, the waitress came up with a giant Biscoff milkshake. “Um, excuse me,” you shyly said, “we didn’t…”
“I did,” Seungmin interrupted, pushing it towards you, “what birthday isn’t complete without a sweet treat?” The milkshake might have been sweet, but the sweetest thing at the table was definitely Seungmin.
Seungmin thought he’d impress you with his skills. Felix, himself and Jeongin had spent months trying to improve his bowling skills. And in all honesty, he wasn’t that bad. But you weren’t impressed by his bowling proficiency. You were impressed that he remembered that you liked this place. It was a little arcade with a bowling alley. It was one of the first places you and all the boys hung out. You always wanted to go back, but with a busy schedule, you never had time to. So remembering that was the best thing he could have done.
After the game was said and done, he won by a landslide. But in your mind, you were the real winner.
After bowling, you headed over to the arcade side. Unlike the bowling alley, this place was even louder with the sound of kids running around and different games making noises. You couldn’t help but contemplate what to play first. There was skiball, but that was just like bowling. A racing game could be fun. But then you saw it, the claw machines. Not just any claw machine, though, one with plushies.
“Look, Seungmin,” you exclaimed, rushing over to the claw machine, “they’re all so cute.” You two placed your faces close to the glass. There was a plethora of plushies. Snoopy, Chopper, Pompompurin, Momonga. But one particular one caught your eye. It was a Miffy plushie in a little yellow raincoat and hat. Seungmin could see the twinkle in your eye as he saw you look at it.
“Is that the one you like?” he asked, motioning to the Miffy. “I can try to win it for you. No guarantees.”
“You don’t have…”
“I want to.
Seungmin grabbed onto the controller and focused. He wasn’t good at these games. He didn’t know anyone who was good at these. But he was determined to do it for you. He moved the claw until it was right where Miffy was. He slowly lowered it and grabbed Miffy by the head. That was good. But he still had to get it over to the opening. You were on the edge of your seat waiting. As he got closer and closer, you started to get more and more hopeful. And then he did it. He made it. He won you the plushie. “You did it,” you cheered, jumping up and down, “Thank you, Seungmin!”
He grabbed your Miffy plushie and held it out to you. You held it close. You were so happy. One of your fantasies was to have a cute boy (in this case, your lovely date) win you a plushie. With your new plushie in hand, you and Seungmin continued your day of gaming.
You and Seungmin stood outside your door. “I had a lot of fun, Seungmin,” you said, hugging your Miffy plushie to your chest.
“I did too,” Seungmin said with a smile. Before you went into your home, you turned around and gave Seungmin a quick kiss on the cheek before entering and closing the door. You thought it was the best birthday ever. Seungmin, on the other hand, had no opinion at the moment because his mind had stopped the moment your lips touched his cheek.
