Happy Birthday from Suga-Pie!
In honor of the birth of the lovely @setter-crush-central here is a fluffy, romantic birthday scenario with Sugawara Koshi!
The ringing of your cell phone wakes you from a lovely slumber, a groan pulling from your lips when you notice it’s still slightly dark outside. Who in the world would call you this early? Picking up the phone, it’s light so blinding you’re unable to see who’s calling, you answer groggily, “Hello?”
“Rise and shine beautiful,” Koshi’s way too chipper voice says from the other end.
“Koshi, do you know what time it is?” you moan, rolling onto your back.
“Yep, it’s time for you to get up! You have exactly one hour to get ready before I’m at your house to steal you away, no matter your state of dress. So I suggest you get moving!”
“You’re such a brat,” you grumble but your tone is laced with endearment, a smile on your face he can hear in your voice.
“Yes, but you love me anyway,” he quips back. “Now hurry up, I’ll see you in an hour.” He hangs up and you snort; he can be such a pest sometimes but he isn’t lying. You love him anyway.
Rolling out of bed, you stumble to the bathroom. As you dry off from your shower, you realize you forgot to ask what you should be wearing so you shoot a text to your boyfriend before turning on the hair dryer. A few seconds later you receive a reply: Something comfortable, most likely would be best to wear layers. T-minus thirty minutes!
Rolling your eyes, you shoot an emoji of the same expression receiving one with its tongue stuck out in return that makes you laugh.
Hair dried, you pick out dark denim jeans, tennis shoes and your favorite shirt, throwing over it a sweatshirt you stolen from Suga when you first started dating. When you finish applying your makeup, you send another text asking if you should eat breakfast before he arrives.
Of course not! What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn’t make sure you were well nourished?
You shake your head, making your way to the kitchen to wait for him. At preciously one hour since the time he called you there is a knock at the door. Opening it you find your pretty (he hates that you call him that but you do anyway because it’s true) boyfriend standing on your porch with a bouquet of your favorite flowers and a backpack on his back.
Smiling, you take them, planting a kiss on his cheek. “Thanks,” you say before turning away to put them in a vase with water. That done, you turn back to him. “So, where to first?”
“First, food,” he answers, taking your hand and tugging you towards the door.
“Wait, I have to leave a note for my parents,” you say but he shakes his head.
“I already told them our plans to make sure it was ok that I stole you for the whole day,” he says and you smile; he’s so considerate. Following him out, you lock the door and the two of you make your way down the quiet, lamp lit streets. Soon enough you’ve arrived at a little café the two of you have dubbed “your place” as it is the location of your first ever official date. You’ve been coming here consistently throughout the length of your relationship, their breakfasts one of the best in town.
“I thought about taking you somewhere new, you know, because it’s your birthday and all, but I figured it would be better to take you where I know you love the food,” Suga says as he pulls out your chair. You sit down, not even needing to look at the menu.
You both order your favorite breakfasts, then looking across the table smile at each other.
“So far so good,” you say playfully tapping the top of his hand.
It doesn’t take long for your food to arrive since you’re the first customers of the day. You actually had no idea this place opened so early. As your piping hot breakfast is set before you, your mouth waters. Giving thanks for the food, you both dig in, chatting idly about everything and nothing as you often do.
Once the meal is over and Suga has paid, he takes your hand again. You love that he always holds your hand no matter where you are. At school, on the train, watching a movie, his hand consistently seeks yours, threading your fingers together and maintaining a firm grip.
Your second stop is atop of hill where Koshi pulls out a blanket from his bag. Setting it down, he sits, motioning for you to follow. Once you are seated, he scoots right up next to you, wrapping his arm around your shoulders.
“And, here we go, in three…two…one,” he says lowly. As he ends, the sky begins to shift in color from light indigo to faded violet, then pink, then orange. The sun crests the horizon, gold flashing across the buildings of Torono Town, your vantage giving you a perfect view. You don’t realize you’ve been holding your breath until your chest burns prompting you to exhale. It’s been so long since you saw a proper sunrise.
“You light up my life,” Koshi says and you turn to look at him, “even in my darkest times you’ve lit up my world with colors and beauty.”
“You’re so cheesy,” you whisper but you’re blushing.
Nuzzling your nose, he murmurs back, “You know you love it.”
The two of you turn your attention back to the scene before you, Koshi with his arm still around you and your head on his shoulder. After a few more minutes, he shifts and you look at him again.
“Ready for the next surprise?” he asks and you nod.
Standing up, he extends his hand and helps you to your feet. Packing up the blanket, he slings the bag onto his back before taking your hand.
You walk together to the train station. After a couple hours, you arrive in the Yamanashi Prefecture.
Koshi hurries you along, clearly excited to spring his surprise. Rounding a corner, you see a bus.
“What are we doing?” you ask as you board, Koshi showing tickets to the host.
“Fruit picking and lunch at Kiyogato Kogen Hotel,” he responds grinning.
You smile widely; this is something you’ve never done before and you’re thrilled he picked an activity that will give you the whole day together experiencing something new.
The rest of the day is spent window shopping, fruit picking and eating some of the most delicious food you’ve ever tasted while meeting new and fun people who are on the tour as well. Koshi is smiling his beautiful smile the whole time, it getting bigger whenever he sees you really enjoying yourself.
By the time you return to the train to go home, you’re full, sleepy and happy. As you approach your door, you turn to face Koshi.
“Thank you for a wonderful birthday,” you say and kiss him lightly.
“It’s not over yet,” he whispers then throws open the front door.
“SURPRISE!!!”
Inside are all of Karasuno’s volleyball team, including Coach Ukai and Takeda-sensei along with your parents and a handful of your other friends from school.
Looking at Koshi, your eyes wide, you splutter out, “How…when…you…”
“What? Did you think you’d get away with just celebrating with him?” Noya-san asks loudly.
“Yeah, since when do we pass up an opportunity for fun and food?” Tanaka pipes in with a laugh.
You grin wider, moving forward to greet each friend with a large hug. Soon the party is in full swing, talking, laughing and more eating taking place. You’re surprised you have room for any more food, but your mom made your favorites so you can’t pass them up.
After all the presents are opened and the guests properly seen on their way, you hug Koshi tightly, kissing him a bit longer. “This has been the best birthday ever,” you sigh.
“One last thing,” he says reaching in his back pocket. Moving his hand forward, he presents a long, thin box, wrapped with a red bow. Opening it, you find a necklace with your birth stone hanging on it.
“Oh Koshi, it’s beautiful,” you breathe out. He takes it from your hand, turning you around so he can put it on you.
When you look back at him, he smiles. “Now it’s beautiful,” he replies. Leaning forward he kisses you once more before saying, “Sleep well my love, I’ll see you at school on Monday. I love you.”
As you lay your head on your pillow, you fall asleep with a smile on your face. You’re so happy to be loved by so many people but you feel luckiest to be loved by Koshi.
Like I said, fluff!!!! I hope you enjoyed it and that you have a super awesome birthday!! Also, I got the idea of the date when looking for romantic things to do in Japan. Here is the link to the site I found with a description of the outing.
