#fatui kuni bonus: never leaves your side at night. choosing to pass on his wishes and selfish desires through holding you close.

eccentric squad hcs: birthdays.

kabukimono isn't too familiar with the concept. truthfully, he has heard about it, but never has he bore witness to the custom of celebrating the day. one thing the puppet has picked from you is to follow what he feels and believes to be right, and in this case; he's ensuring your smile stays radiant all the while he cooks your favorite meal. it's a simple gesture as he doesn't really have anything grand to offer, but the moment you are greeted with what he cooked for you with the help of katsuragi who gave him advice on making your favorite dessert on your humble dinner table alongside some tea, the smile that adorned his face couldn't possibly get any brighter.

kuronushi never really paid any mind to "such a thing" as he considers it. he rarely — actually never — celebrates his own birthday because the concept to him feels stale and not as intriguing. he prefers his solitude. but when you came into his mundane life; it was as if a million doors, each filled with many possibilities and new experiences have been opened for him. what was once such a stale thing was now held dear to him, never has ever thought of never providing you the joy you provide him. and so, as your birthday drew near, he ensures the best possible atmosphere in his favorite spot on kannazuka island; scrolls and ink brush in hand as he draws a portrait of you alongside writing a haiku for you. by the time you're home, you're immediately dragged to sit on his lap as he muses all about you.

kunikuzushi ( the balladeer ) quite frankly doesn't care. similar to kuronushi, he finds it stale but to the benevolent sixth harbinger; it is something he finds completely unnecessary. and again, similar to kuronushi, a lot of things have been opened once you stepped into his life — you make him happy in a way that feels sickening to him, the mere thought of you makes a foreign warmth envelope his chest and... honestly, those feelings you bestowed upon him are a hassle to deal with. yet here he is, taking you out on an unexpected "get-together" as he perceives it in your favorite café in snezhnaya. allowing you to order whatever you desire with it all on him; as he watches you treat yourself like you deserve all with a small smile hidden behind a cup of coffee. spoiling you despite your protests was indeed the best way he could go on about celebrating it for the time being.

the wanderer is a simple individual. while birthdays, just like his previous incarnations, is something he doesn't celebrate a lot if not at all — for you, he's willing to make both an exception and an effort. sewing has been something he returned to doing recently, and similar to how he done with a little fledgling he used to nurture; he sews a doll for you. two actually — one that looks a lot more like him that he insists you keep on your person while the other looks like you, which he keeps with his other companion residing under his hat. teasing him about how long it took will earn you a scoff out of him as he replies with a less than vague answer. but apart from that simple yet meaningful gift, he does it all while you're in his safe space, somewhere in the rainforest in which only the wind is witness to his immense love for you.
