โ here, โ the bag is thrown ( kindly ) into sakuraโs lap. Sugishita knows he shouldnโt even bother giving this bastard any form of giftโ that only makes things more complicated than it should be. The gift was rather bigger than normal โ inside was a pair of high-tech sneakers, the ones that he caught sakura staring at through the window during one of their patrols. Sakura needed those, that recent pair is falling apart slowly but surely. Phone case, a bag of assorted chocolates, and last but not least Sugishita had prepared an enormous amount of omurice that was sealed into a container, piping hot. No, he wasnโt just going to bring the damn plate to him. Theyโve had their differences ( kind of ) also their relationship had improved far more better than worse ( Umemiya-sanโs words not Sugishitaโs), but the thing isโ heโs doing this on his own โ not because of their friend group was talking among themselves on what to give Sakura for his birthday. He just happened to listen in. Accidentally.
โ Donโt ask anything else from me, โ he says flatly, reaching over with one hand โ in faux patting that dual colored hair โ he instead flicked the younger male on his nose. A non-verbal way of saying happy birthday, haruka.
Birthdays. They come and they go --- most people mark the day as a day for celebration. A day to spend with friends and family, celebrating YOU and YOUR existence. Sakura had never celebrated his own birthday before, and neither had anyone else for that matter. It was just another day to him, one where he just happens to get a year older. Big deal.
Sakura wasn't doing much of anything by the time Sugishita met up with him, just sitting on a bench outside of Pothos enjoying the nice weather while waiting. Suo and Nirei were both really eager to meet up with him here --- so what the hell was taking them so long? Did they get held up somewhere? A few questions drawled in his mind until he was met with a bag being tossed into his lap. It made him jerk out of his thoughts, blinking a few times as he looked down. A grocery bag, a BIG one, was sitting in his lap. He could tell a box or two were stacked in it, making his hands cradle the object on his legs with a bout of confusion. Mismatched eyes shot a look up at the other, quirking a brow.
" --- Why're you throwin' things at me? " A half jest. Sakura finally opened the bag and peered inside, curiosity killing the cat. Clearly it was for him, right? First, he was met with a box of assorted chocolates, as well as a box containing a phone case. Fingers plucked the box out, just to see what the case had on it and --- is that an omurice cat? Oh how the heat could be felt against his cheeks. But, that wasn't all! Setting things aside to get a better look, Sakura dug out the biggest box from the bag and saw exactly what it was. A shoe box ; and on the box was a picture of the sneakers he'd had his eye on for a bit. Since when the hell did Sugishita know he even wanted these shoes? And how the hell did he know his shoe size!? Did he seriously look at his shoes at some point!? Did he smell them!? The heat in Sakura's face dialed up higher as his thoughts raced. That still wasn't all --- because last in the bag was a piping hot container of omurice. It was currently warming up his lap, meaning it'd JUST been made... by Sugishita?
All this... For him. From Kyotaro. This couldn't be for---
Don't ask anything else from him? What the hell did that even mean? Sakura's face grew even more red, to the point where steam would be seen rolling from his ears. He was almost as hot as the omurice warming his lap. It didn't help when Sugishita flicked him on the nose. He flinched a bit, and then hissed at the other in a flustered tantrum.
" I didn't ask for any of this, you big bastard! " He barked, frowning despite the flush practically overtaking his body. What was his deal? Sakura huffed loudly, though he kept the bag and it's contents close to himself. He'd really gone all out for him... Ugh! " --- Y-you didn't have to get me anything, anyway, stupid... " His voice trailed off as he looked away with pouty cheeks. But not before muttering a tiny thanks under his breath.
