#[AAAAHHHH SEIJI AND TOHRU MY BELOVEDS]

“If you thought you could get by this year without me noticing your birthday, you’re way too late for that!” Ever since he found out, Seiji always made sure to try and do something nice for Tohru every year. If his parents wouldn’t do so much as celebrate their kid’s birthday, then it was up to the friend to do something.

And he wanted to do something nice for the first best friend he ever had.

“You know that sushi restaurant in Ginza? Well, that’s where we’re going tonight!” If not for his background as a Shirogane, he wouldn’t have dreamed of stepping foot into Ginza, but Dad had approved. Besides, he’d seen high schoolers waltz up to this restaurant numerous times. Helped that this one was one of the more affordable, if a bit pricier ones. “We only live once, so don’t hold back. Pick whatever you want to eat!”

"I try to make you forget, but you're too dedicated to make sure I'm not a wet blanket that you'll take any excuse to make me do fun stuff."

Typical of Tohru's dry sense of humor, but the smile that he gives when Seiji eagerly invites him out betrays any sense of regret he might be pretending to have. Tohru's opened up a lot since befriending the young detective, even he had to admit it. If himself a year or two ago had seen him now, he would have been appalled, but he had to admit, it was nice getting to enjoy his youth instead of spending it all studying.

His gift being a dinner at a nice sushi restaurant in Ginza makes the teenager's eyes widen. His family wasn't lacking in funds, but they all never went out to eat in a restaurant together, and he really only had with Seiji. And since he wasn't used to it, every time it had surprised him.

He wants to protest, say it was too much money, but he knows Seiji would push it until they did it.

"I guess some eel roll does sound pretty good..." he concedes, a little shyly, but then smiles again and elbows his best friend. "It's still sappy of you to do it for me, you know. But if you're gonna be nice to me on my birthday... we should go see a movie afterward! There's a new spy flick out, and I'm sure it counts as future Shirogane detective training."
