Birthdays

An incredibly human tradition not typically practiced by the Na’vi. Jake gave up a lot of human traditions, but birthdays would not be one of them. The man insisted that his family celebrated each others birthdays, and so it became a tradition in the Sully household.

Neteyam would never admit it in fear of being teased, but the boy absolutely adored birthdays. He loved everything about them. In fact, he enjoyed celebrating others birthdays just as much as his own. The idea of celebrating the day someone came into the world was so fascinating to him. The humans got one thing right.

Jake was the type of father that went all out for birthdays so naturally Neteyam followed suit. He had been counting down the days to your birthday planning a big surprise for you. After all, you were his whole world. You deserved an entire day devoted to you (though Neteyam felt strongly that you should be celebrated every day).

Neteyam had everything planned down to the T. He tried his best to make you a traditional human cake, he had loads of handmade gifts ready for you, and he even arranged a feast in your honor. To say he was pleased with himself was an understatement.

“Happy Birthday Ma’Y/N!” Neteyam screamed causing you to jolt awake. You surveyed the area for danger, but all you saw was your mate with the cutest half smile ever, looking like a little puppy. Laying back you placed a hand over your chest recovering from what felt like a heart attack.

“Neteyam.” You breathed heavily still trying to calm your heart. “What are you doing?”

“It’s your birthday remember?” He said like it was the most obvious answer ever.

Growing up, you remembered talk of these ‘birthdays’, but you had never celebrated one yourself. It wasn’t a typical Na’vi tradition so you weren’t bothered by them. Neteyam however had different plans.

This was the first birthday you had since you became mates. He was determined to make up for lost time and give you the best birthday ever.

Your mate pulled you into his chest hugging you tightly. Kisses were scattered along your cheeks and your forehead. Softly giggling at the affection you looked up at him.

“What’s gotten into you?” You asked. “Not that I mind.”

Neteyam gave you an unimpressed look. “It is your birthday.” He said again as if that was a crystal clear answer. “We must celebrate you.” He smiled.

Smiling up at him you nodded letting him ramble on about the importance of birthdays. You still weren’t bothered by it, but seeing him so excited melted your heart.

“Oh, I almost forgot!” He said before placing a quick peck to your lips and running out of your shared home.

He quickly returned with a round looking object on a plate. A stick was stabbed into the middle of it, the end of it aflame.

“Neteyam.” You said with wide eyes. “That thing is on fire Neteyam!” You said panicked not sure why he was unfazed.

“Hush, you’re ruining the moment!” He scolded.

You sat there completely lost as to what was going on. Then it got even stranger. Neteyam started singing.

“Happy birthday to you.” He sang. “Happy birthday dear Y/N. Happy birthday to you.” He was practically beaming as he placed the object in front of you.

Staring from the plate then back to him you were dumbfounded. “Are you trying to set something on fire?” You asked concerned pointing back to the stick on fire.

He threw his head back in laughter at your words. “No. You blow it out.” He explained. “But make a wish first. That’s very important.” He smiled.

Raising a brow you looked at him confused. “But I have everything I wish for.” You said as if it was obvious. “Why do I need more?”

Neteyam smiled at you gently placing his hand on your cheek. “It can be anything my love. Even something small. But you have to wish for something, it’s apart of the tradition.”

You nodded at his words. You didn’t fully understand the importance of it, but you knew it was important to him so you’d play along.

“I wish for-“

“No!” He said panicked. “You can’t say it aloud.”

Eyeing him cautiously you continued. “Alright then.” Making a silent wish to yourself you blew out the flame.

You didn’t think it was possible for Neteyam to be smiling anymore than he was. He was thrilled to be celebrating your first official birthday with you. Pulling you into his chest he snuggled his head into your neck.

“Happy birthday Ma’Y/N.” He smiled.

Snuggling in closer to him you sighed in content. You appreciate all the effort he put into this for you.

“Thank you Ma’Teyam.” You blushed.

“I have so much planned for you today.” He happily explained. “Wait until you see all your gifts.” He proudly said.

“Gifts?” You question still unsure of how the whole birthday thing worked.

“Oh just you wait yawne.” He kissed the top of your head. “I have a whole day of celebrating planned.” He grinned ready to give you a day you’d never forget.

Request: Hajime, Nagito, Shuichi and Kaede giving gifts to GN S/O

I accidentally posted the draft one and lost the ask!!! I'm so sorry TvT but here it is anyways!:)

Hajime

- Bro is in panic mode while thinking of what he should get you.

- Because he thinks that his gift should be a perfect one just like you.

- He'll go with a cake but he thinks its too common. (But will still get it too anyways.)

- Orange juice boy literally goes to Chiaki and asks her what could be a perfect gift for you since you and Chiaki are close so he thinks that Chiaki will know the perfect gift just for you.

- But he still need to see if it fits his "perfect" gift standard.

- He will then find one but it'll take him hours to find it.

- He invites the class 77-b and will ask them to help him decorate and prepare a surprise for u.

- Ibuki will be the one who'll distract you if you ever wake up.

- Once they're done, Ibuki will lead you downstairs and there you will hear a "surprise"!

- You were in shock though.

- And there you will also see Hajime walking up to you with cake on his hands.

- He'll tell you Happy Birthday and ask you to make a wish and blow the cake.

- He will get his gift right after you make a wish and blow the cake.

- He'll give it to you wrapped nicely and with a flushed face.

- (He totally didn't begged for Chiaki to wrap it up for him cuz he doesn't know how to.)

- He'll tell you to open it when he's not around tho because he'll be super embarrassed if you opened it infront of him. (Because he also placed a love letter inside.)

- He noticed your suprised face and you ask him why he gave you a gift.

- He says "Because you're important to me." with a genuine smile as an answer.

- You appreciate it and told him that you're not used with someone celebrating your bday.

- His face will sadden and he'll be shocked too because how can they not give a care about your birthday??

- Hajime will give you a hug and say sorry and will promise you that this will be the best day in your whole life.

- Actually screw that, he'll make all of your days the best.

- You definitely had the best day in your life.

Nagito

- He found a perfect shop who sells perfect gifts he could think about.

- (He totally didn't used his ultimate luck talent to immediately find a perfect shop.)

- (Cuz he found one immediately just right after he got in the mall.)

- When you wake up, you'll see him preparing foods and you just tilt your head in confusion and ask what is the occasion.

- He'll be shocked at your comment and will tell you that it's your birthday and it should be perfect!!

- He invited all of his friends in Hope's Peak to celebrate.

- But he won't forget to give you your gift first.

- You will just look at him dumbfounded for a few seconds before telling him that he shouldn't have.

- He insist of course and will want you to open it already.

- You're still shocked before hugging him and telling him Thank you's repeatedly.

- You're not used to this so you're really shocked but still grateful because there's finally someone who appreciates you and is willing to celebrate your birthday in the bestest way.

- You had fun with all your friends and with Nagito too ofc!!

Shuichi

- Bro is in panic mode too on what to get you, but he's more calmer than Hajime.

- Will look around the mall while looking for the best gift to give you.

- He will immediately find one.

- The next day, you'll find him and his classmate in the living room , holding balloons and a "Happy Birthday" balloon letters.

- They'll go "Happy Birthday!" Once you go downstairs.

- Your reaction will be "What?".

- You'll ask Shuichi why is everyone here.

- And Shuichi will be like "I also don't know, i only invited Kaede , Maki , K1-B0 , Kaito and Kirumi."

- Turns out, Kokichi invited himself and invited everyone too.

- Shuichi mentally face palmed in which you only chuckled and thanked everyone.

- Shuichi walked up to you and gave you his gift.

- Your eyes widened as tears of joy fell from your eyes.

- Shuichi panicked and asked if you're alright but you only hugged him and thanked him for the gift and the surprise.

- Shuichi hugged you back.

- (Tenko was totally not about to attack Shuichi when she saw you crying.)

- You had the best day ever!!!

Kaede

- She already had a gift for you even before your birthday.

- She couldn't wait to buy a gift so she bought it one month ago.

- She was the one who prepared all the decorations and foods.

- She invited everyone to celebrate your birthday.

- Kaede was the one who woke you up and led you downstairs.

- There you saw a large table filled with food on top of it.

- Kaede held your hand with hers as she walks with you towarcs the crowd.

- Kaede gets the cake from the table and brings it close to you before saying "Happy Birthday".

- You made a wish and everyone clapped their hands and wished you a happy birthday.

- Kaede then gives you a gift from her and told you to open it.

- You gave her a thank you and told her that you were shocked when you saw everyone here.

- You also told her that you weren't used in celebrating your own birthday.

- And she swears that this will be the most perfect birthday out of all birthdays!

AND ADVANCE HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU ANON! GIVING LOTS OF LOVES!! </33

Quick upload of a fic I did for my man's bday 🧍🏾‍♀️

It was just a normal day in contell, just as normal as the one before it, and the other one that came before the one that came before it. The point is, it was as normal as can be.. or was it? Yeah sure to some outsiders with would seem so but not to Luna, today was Spica's birthday. Though, the poor girl was struggling to find a gift for the guy, just sitting down and doing nothing was not an option

"Its gotta be something great, something special but also useful to him.." She thought as she paced the committee room.

Suddenly the door opened, the clearly recognizable tall, formal, blonde haired, green eyed man walked in. Luna froze, though she was confident and independent in front of others, this man, this infuriating, annoying but unnecessarily hot idiot made her feel like a dummie to everything. Luna hated how these feelings, thoughts and emotions clouded her head as soon as she saw him.

Transporting back to real time, she was frozen in front of him. "Luna..? What are you doing here?" The way her name rolled off his tongue mad her feel something deep. "I.. uh.. I was just.. relaxing! Yeah relaxing!-"

He raised an eyebrow but didn't question further. He passed by her, his scent briefly filling her nose as he sat down.

That's it! Luna figured out what she should gift him, in fact numerous ideas flooded her mind but the first gift would be.. "Spica. You're not gonna fill out those papers today." The man watched her in confusion and astonishment.

"I beg your pardon?" Luna's face had a bright smile, "We're going out! Out to just have some fun!"

She didn't know why the idea made her so giddy, spending an entire day with Spica. He was just a colleague. A friend at the most, she was happy to be with him. "But.." He started off but gave up, "Sure.. let's go out."

Luna cheered and grabbed him out of the navy blue chair and stated, "We have to change into relaxing clothes first. This uniform won't do. You and I will go change and meet up at the front of the school." Maybe she imagined it but she saw him chuckle in amusement. "Alright."

And so, the two separated ways.

Luna sped up to her room and found some spunky, cute village wear. Libra and Sag (Sagittarius) took her on a shopping trip to town, being the good friends they were, so she had more than enough clothes to choose from.

She skipped down the steps, waving to a few of the students. It was good that today was a slow one, mostly during school time, the students of Contell Academy of Magic (the full name is what Spica used any time he could) or CAM, would flood around her asking for everything and anything about her past life and other details.

Once Luna reached the front of the school, she found Spica patiently waiting on her. The man's widened, to her this was quite an odd expression since he wasn't surprised often. "You look... nice.." Luna felt that he wanted to say something else but didn't push it, "Thanks!" Of course, Spica was wearing that signature black and grey suit of his, still nevertheless, he looked handsome.

"Sorry if I took long but let's not waste anymore time and go!" Luna held out her hand for him to hold it by instinct, then instantly pulled it back after realizing what she has done. Now, she couldn't face Spica after that. Suddenly the feeling of someone interlocking their hand into hers made her slightly jump, "No worries. I don't mind holding your hand." He said with a genuine smile, her face was red enough to be deemed a tomato. "Oh- Okay..!" She responded in a shaky voice.

They both went out into the bustling town, holding each other's hands. Spica's hand felt oddly nice. No, not oddly, satisfyingly nice. Luna was happy, giddy and excited all at the same time, though she had a completely neutral expression on her face. "So... where shall we go now on this spontaneous adventure of yours, Luna?" He turned to her as he spoke. "Well.. wherever you wanna go!" Luna looked at him as he thought about the statement. "How about.. the movies..?" He asked, seemly not sure of his own answer. "Yes! I wonder if any new ones came out..Oh well! To the movies!" She grabbed his arm, more confidently now, and they both ran off to the movies.

After buying tickets (and Luna's begging) the two settled for a romance movie that just came out. As they sat down, Spica announced, "I've never seen a romance movie.. but judging from how eager you were to watch this, I suppose they're good?" She nodded in excitement, "Yup! They can be so cute, bittersweet, horrific, tragic but enjoyable all at the same time!" Spica gave her a confused look but didn't argue.

During the movie, the two, unknowingly, got cozy with each other, Luna either held on to his arm or rested her head on his shoulder. Spica didn't seem to mind at all. At the end of the movie, she chatted on and on about how cute it was and He commented on how for the first time watching one, it was quite enjoyable.

All through out the day, the two went around shops, parks and centers buying food, clothes, souvenirs and more. In the end, it was quite the productive day.

When they arrived back to the committee room, Spica was surprised with the millions of confetti and balloons everywhere with all of the guide sorcerers and all five of Luna's friends yelling "Happy Birthday Spica!!" at him. He looked shocked for a moment then exploded with laughter.

Almost everyone in the room looked like they'd seen a ghost, not once has anyone ever seen Spica laugh that much before, not even Alpheratz. Though, the shock didn't last long, everyone laughed along with him, soon, he sobered up, "Now just how long did it take you to plan all of this?" Pisces piped up, "Long enough, Luna sent a message to us around the time you left. I still don't understand why it took her the very day to decide what to do for your birthday!" Luna eyed Pisces for giving her plan away which was only greeted with a sly smile, "I just felt like doing something nice.. that's all!" She said in defiance. Spica gave a small smile at her, "Regardless, I still appreciate it." She could only smile and turn away for her face was getting red again.

Soon, after singing the birthday song and cutting cake, it was present time. Everyone got him a gift, even Alpheratz, maybe the two were just frienemies with all that arguing they do. Luna decided to give her gifts last.

"So.. I know this might sound weird but us going out and relaxing and having fun was one of your gifts.." Everyone was stunned a bit but then they laughed, with Alpheratz speaking up, "Honestly that was genius idea, the guy never takes a break!" That got a few more giggles and chuckles with Spica only eyeing him in amusement.

"Thank you Luna, it really did feel nice to get break. I was quite confused when you suggested to go out but it makes sense now." Luna only nodded before presenting her second gift, a brooch the color of his eyes with a gold finish to it. Spica looked at the gift in awe. "Please don't tell me you spent all your money on this just for me.. and when did you get it..?" Luna gave a quick reply "Today, but while you were distracted with buying us lunch. Also, I saved for it since last year, don't worry, there was even a sale too!" Satisfied with the answer, he thanked her with gratitude for the gift.

The last gift, Luna placed the box directly in his hand, but when Spica opened it, it was empty. "Is this a prank gift? Very funny, Luna." She shook her head as she laughed, "No Spica, the gift can't go into the box but I'll give it to you right now.." She grabbed a stool from what seemed like nowhere, stood on it and gave him a small kiss on the cheek. His eyes widened and his face went red as he stared at her. Everyone had now been stunned yet again.

"Luna... wha.. I.." Spica didn't seem like he could form words so she went on to explain. "I gave you that because I felt like.. its not suppose to be romantic, just as a friendship kiss.." Her explanation sucked because pretty much everyone but Spica knew that she liked him but didn't wanna admit it.

"Oh.. uh.. well... thank.. you." He seemed to calm down a bit but his face was still red, Luna herself was red too. "That's right Luna, shoot your shot!!" Gemini yelled out, cheering. Her other friends joined in as she buried her face in her hands. Spica could only smile wearily as he was still quite shocked. The rest of the party went on pretty well.

At the end, everyone wished Spica 'Happy Birthday' as they left. It was only Luna and him, now. "Hey.. thanks again for the party.. that was probably the most fun I've had in a while." He said as he turned to her with a small smile, "Also I think I know what I can give back to you as a thank you gift." Luna looked at him in a confused manner, thank you gift? He was in the committee room the whole time, when did he sneak out and get a gift?? He stepped forward, grabbed her face gently, leaned down and gave her a kiss on the lips.

Luna froze. That was her first kiss he was taking but she didn't mind one bit. Her face had turned a few darker shades of red, her eyes were wide as he pulled away. "Though, from my kiss, you could tell there was no friendship tagged to it." He said as he gazed at her bewildered face lovingly. Luna was stuttering, getting redder and overall, very flustered. He could only chuckle at her cute behavior, "Goodnight Luna." Spica gave her head a pat and walked off to his room, she stood in the hallway, completely still before squealing and skipping away to her own room.

It seems like this was the best birthday ever, for both of them.

how do your ocs feel about birthdays? could be their own, could be others, could be in general, i dont really know them but i think its a fun question

Very interesting question! I can probably guess that this post will get long real fast so imma put it under a readmore

(all ocs used are from kenikari, i won't get into stuff like parents or siblings that don't appear or friends or whatnot. just The Gang)

Lare likes birthdays! it's a good excuse to show to your friends how much you care about them and make them happy, and the parties are fun. when it comes to celebrating her own bday, at first she just hanged out with her only real friend. with her parents inviting them over to eat cake and have fun, but after Stuff happened, it was just her and her parents going out to do stuff like bowling or laser tag

Uzomi loves to celebrate her friend's birthdays!! she loves hanging out with them and giving them presents and playing and all the fanfare. she especially loves celebrating her brother's birthday :D every year she always tries her best to make sure it's better than the last, giving him tons of presents and planning whole days of fun stuff to do. this year, though she's been planning to finally buy him one singular bday gift she had been saving up for for a long time

We don't talk about Uzomi's own birthday

Murasaki is indifferent/negative on bdays. he thinks they're annoying wastes of time that are just loud and disruptive and stupid. who cares that you're older? no one. he hasn't gone to any birthday parties of any classmates/friends and he hasn't had a party himself since he was very very young. he'd probably short-circuit if anyone remembered when his bday was, let alone buying him something. he hasnt received a single gift in a long time

Detah doesn't fully understand the concept, but it's cool, i guess. he doesn't even know when his bday is. he's 100% convinced he just spawned in the world

Bee doesnt remember what birthdays are lol. but if she ever got told she'd think it's cool. just an excuse to celebrate something and be happy and give stuff to ur friends :D. she doesnt remember when her bday is so. yeah

Mako hasn't been to a birthday party in a long time. She kinda remembers going to one or two with some classmates and having fun and watching kids open gifts, but that's about it. she does celebrate her own bday with her mom tho, and even though they've never been able to afford a grand party, she always feels like the specialest and most loved girl in the world

Alex hasn't been to those typical crowded parties with a bunch of kids, so he'd probably have anxiety through the roof if he ever got invited to one of those. His first few years his moms didnt really bother celebrating anything, but after they begun to be slightly more okay with his existence, they started to do some little things. the maid of the house has always told him "happy birthday" when the date came though

Chuyo has had the more typical parties throughout his life, both to himself and his friends. his mom never gave him anything, but at least his dad always bought him a little something, like a keychain or a bouncy ball. it's the thought that counts, he's always told himself. as he's been growing up, though, the parties got less and less grand, with him getting less gifts and being invited to less parties

Mastermind fucking loves birthdays because it's the perfect excuse to hang out with friends. she stays inside a lot. she's always preferred the ones with smaller groups of people, too, and she loves celebrating her own bday and getting gifts

#ask #s0lar-ch3ri #thanks for asking! :D #kenikari #maintag i guess lol #nathan's notes

Hi! It's so great that you're feeling better. Aww did you not even know what was wrong? Or was it just multiple symptoms? I hope it wasn't Covid and you get good results. Those are also my favorites on Red! I know it's long..honestly sometimes usually I just play the newer verses..but it was really awesome live! I totally get loving a song cuz it's your surprise song. That's me with Castles Crumbling..I liked it of course cuz of Taylor and Hayley but now I love it even more. My favorites on Speak Now are probably I Can See You and Timeless but they switch all the time. Like Timeless is such a classic Taylor song so I love it..and Foolish One is so relatable to me lol but maybe that makes it harder to listen to all the time. But I also love Electric touch and Emma Falls in Love! I think I told you I am a huge Emma Stone fan so to have that song makes me so happy..along with Hayley on Castles Crumbling. They are my two favorite friendships of Taylor and I was a fan of all of them around that time. My favorite Fearless songs are probably Don't You and Mr. Perfectly Fine but I also like them all. I won't be trading but I am excited to have more people enjoying the show in the theater this time compared to the Twenty One Pilots livestream show. I think we are planning for a late show like 11PM so it might not be as many people though. What time are you going? I'm so excited! My bday is June 14th..cuz we are Gemini twins and I love that. It's also Flag Day on the calendar haha. But otherwise I'm not really like what people usually think of a Gemini cuz I'm shy. Your birthday is so close to Taylor's. Do you also love the holidays or have Sagittarius energy like she does?

Haha I don't know if I loved it but I do enjoy Dr Seuss stuff so I did like it. Wow..now it makes sense how you've seen so many shows! I think that's super cool that Ooh I've never seen Phantom but I wanted to go to the tour a few years ago and sadly missed it. I think it would be cool with dropping the chandelier. Oh I noticed the Waitress playbills and had no idea her mom wrote the musical. That's so cool! Haha ya I told my parents to watch it eventually..I showed them the trailer and they said it looked funny so maybe they will. I told them they might not understand the jokes though.

Oh haha..no wonder you were excited or skeptical for the musical..especially if it means a lot to you or you know it really well. I might read it eventually by the time the musical is on Broadway or both musicals are. Maybe he will..I hope. I'm happy he has the role but I wonder if someone else would be a better choice..or who it could be in the Florence one. Or is there anyone you think could be a better fit? What did you think of the music overall? Cuz ya..it wasn't like 20s really but after watching the videos a few times..it was a little better. I think the performances are next week so we will find out if the full musical is any better and eventually how the Florence version is. By the way, kinda off topic, but I remembered the Little Women ask I sent a while ago and was wondering if you were ever gonna reply since it came up talking with my sister. No pressure obviously but it was funny to me.

Oh good..I'm glad I let you know then. I've never been to Seattle but I'm excited to read it so I can learn more about it. I will definitely read it by the time the sequel is out. Aww that's special and sweet to have that connection..and ya that's sometimes why I still enjoy reading YA cuz it makes me nostalgic or remind me that everyone has similar experiences. For a while, I confused the title with Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow from your poll actually..but then realized they were two different books haha. But maybe I can read that one with you too since that one is also on my long list and I heard it was good! Yay okay I will and I know I was a slow reading partner..but I finally finished some Mistakes were made so you can finally share your thoughts. I thought it was okay. I think the conflict wasn't that developed or dramatic..but I guess it seemed realistic and the characters choices made sense at least. The ending was a little rushed but at least it was a happy ending I guess. I would probably rate it a 3..I just don't have strong feelings about it but I also wasn't like bored reading it or anything. I couldve read it sooner but there were just some days I would forget about reading. I wonder if reading it in a day made you feel differently or not. Well I don't know if I will read Enchanted to Meet You but if I do..I will tell you how it is. I read the princess diaries before but can barely remember it. Oh I am familiar with Emma Lord and Sophie Gonzalez books. I've read Tweet Cute and was in the middle of Perfect on Paper at some point.. I usually enjoy more serious YA but I still enjoy their writing. Begin Again is on my list. There was more than I thought actually and probably even more. I guess it's kinda cool but it's like using a title that doesn't have to really do with the book..but the point is so more people will wanna read it. I guess it kinda works though since that's what made me interested in Enchanted to Meet you, and having a catchy title is important nowadays and I imagine coming up with a title is pretty hard. but I feel like popular authors usually have pretty good titles..like Emily Henry. Actually one of my favorite books..which is If He Had Been With Me I read based just on the title without reading anything else. But The Stepping Off Place..which is my other favorite, I always wanted a better title but I don't know what else I would name it either. Sorry I know I talked about these before, but I just realized this right now while typing, and these are always like a pair in my mind. So sorry if that seems random. Anyway I know this is long now so I hope you have a good rest of your week and enjoy the movie if I don't reply by then!!! Even if I don't, I'll probably send you another ask at least saying to have fun and a good time! 🩷

hi hi!! so the thing is is that i had a bad bout of bronchitis which set off my asthma, but i've also just been trying to get some other things diagnosed for ... forever, including my migraines! i'm feeling a lot better now from bronchitis-y things, but am unsure where the diagnosis for other general health things is going!

also i really do love castles crumbling! what's your favorite taylor collab? i think mine is either nothing new, the last time, or castles crumbling, but i also really love cowboy like me, exile… okay, i'm just listening every collab now. 11pm is so late!! especially since it's a 3 hour movie — get home safe!! i'm going to a 6:00 pm showing on friday, and then an afternoon showing on sunday! so i'll be seeing it twice this weekend! i'm very excited! are you going to be dressing up for it? i think i'm going to dress up a bit more (not like DRESS up though, just wearing a sweater + skirt) for the first showing since it's opening night but i think i'll wear very comfy clothes (probably just my eras quarter zip) on sunday!

june 14th is really close to one of my close friend's birthdays! i think it's so fun that you're a gemini and you and your sister are twins!! i believe taylor is also a cancer moon, which is what i am! i'm a sag sun, cancer moon and a capricorn rising, if that means anything to you — and i am very much like all of those things. i do love the holidays, but i am also very nostalgic about them! it makes me think of hong kong/home, and i get a bit sad. do you have a favorite holiday?

i also was very, very lucky, and seattle has a really good program for teenagers where you can see shows for $5 — it's called teentix (they also do museum passes, and other art stuff!), which is really how i got to see a lot of shows! and then once i was no longer a teen, i did student rush a lot! phantom is SO cool with the chandelier; i saw it in london (my first west end show!) when i went to london with some family earlier ths year, and i forgot how much i really like it.

if you want to read gatsby, we can always do a buddy read! i have no idea who i'd want for the florence one, but i'm hopeful it'll be someone good! and you're fine about the little women ask — i meant to save it for a time where i could reread little women, but then i got buried in other books and then i never got around to rereading little women (hence why it is still unanswered)! i see it every time i open up my drafts though 😂

and yes, definitely down to read tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow if you want to start that soon! i think i'm going to try to start that next week, but it depends on how busy i am!!! i have not read ... much ... this week ... (aka: i have not even picked up a book this week) and probably won't get the chance to until next week). i'm glad you thought that the book was okay — i wasn't particularly like, impressed, or disappointed with the book, i also just felt like it was fine! i think it was also really predictable, and i think there were some storylines that felt a bit rushed/that could've been handled with more care. i saw if he had been with me at the bookstore on saturday and thought of you, but already had way too many books in my hands! i'm always really curious about book titles too, like how many books stay with the original title vs. publishing/marketing suggests something else!

i hope you're having a good day/week! enjoy the movie! i can't wait to hear your thoughts after (even though we've both seen the tour hehe) 🤍 xx

Cake Day — Jean Kirschtein

prequel to French Wine

summary: Your friends take on the task of planning Connie’s birthday party, only there are a few challenges along the way. Keeping your eyes from staring at Jean happens to be one of them.

warnings: no pronouns mentioned, reader does have hair, cursing, connie is going through a dark time (dont worry, he’s gonna be okay), kissing ;)

genre: fluff, crack

word count: 5.5k bc I am crazy

a/n: no bc i always come back, connie’s bday was a long time ago but this is what i have, literally all of the 104th cadets are mentioned/make an appearance, this is a prequel to French Wine by meeee, hope u enjoy <3

"Please tell me this isn't actually happening right now."

"Sasha, it's alright." you say, walking over to where she stands in her Auntie Anne's work uniform with wide eyes. "We can find a new place to host the party, and if not, we can reschedule."

"No, we can't." Armin admits from his seat on your apartment's brown couch. Everyone winces at the sight of the old thing. "It has to be tomorrow. I already asked everyone to RSVP for tomorrow. We can't just cancel on everyone like that."

"Why can't we just have it here?" Mikasa suggests calmly, long fingers messing with the hem of her sweater. "We can just put up some birthday decorations and ask Reiner to bring everything else here."

"No, that won't work. We're always here, and this has to be special. It's Connie's first birthday since..." Sasha loses her words for a moment as she begin spacing around your shared living room. "It's gotta be the best party we've ever thrown. Our apartment has too many bad memories for him.”

Her words bring silence upon the group. She's right. Every single one of you has seen Connie at his worst, and being there for him on his birthday is the only thing any of you can gift him.

The plan was to throw him a surprise birthday party at some club downtown, but that proved to be worthless when the owner called a few minutes ago to inform Sasha that there was a leak that managed to mess up the electrics of the building. The owner promised your money back, but it left you without a venue.

"Whose stupid idea was it to even ask Mina for connections to that place?" Eren demands, walking out of the kitchen with furrowed brows. "Why did we even trust her? Especially after what she did last year."

"It was yours, genius. And don't tell me you're still upset over her not inviting you to her sorority party." Jean scoffs from beside you. "What about mine and Marco's place?"

"It's too small and smells like dog all the time." Eren responds easily, to which you raise your brow in amusement. "Sorry, but Marco's mutt is the messiest animal in the world."

"Jean Paul Marco is a chihuahua, and he is not messy." Jean argues and crosses his arms over his chest. "Sorry, not all of us have renowned doctors as fathers that can pay for maids every other week."

Eren rolls his eyes and takes a seat beside Armin. A wince is heard from everybody once again. "I'm sorry, aren't you pre-law?"

"I have an idea." you announce before the two idiots start bickering over meaningless shit. "Why don't we ask Historia to host it? Her apartment is big enough for everybody to fit in, and you know she loves hosting events. There's no way she'll say no."

"That might work." Armin says after a few moments of thinking, turning over to where Sasha stands. "I'll talk to her about the details. Ymir and Annie won't mind either."

"And Reiner and Bertholdt can bring the rest of the booze over to their place." Mikasa explains with an assuring nod that seems to quell everyone's nerves. "Eren and I will spread the word about the change in location."

"And the rest of us can take care of the party decorations and cake." Jean finishes off with a grin, glancing at you meaningfully. "We’ve got this, guys.”

The brunette lets out a relieved laugh. "Alright, this might actually work." she breathes with a smile. "All I gotta do is keep him distracted."

"Keep who distracted?"

Everyone's eyes shoot to where a freshly-showered Connie stands in the hallway, clad in plaid pajama pants and a red DC Comics shirt.

"I'm helping Sasha get the neighbor's number." you lie quickly, walking over to put your hands on the woman's shoulders. "I told her if she wore that one shirt with the lace, he would totally get distracted."

"Ah, the cheetah print one?" Connie questions with an approving nod. He walks past Armin's flushed state and into the kitchen in search of dinner. "Yeah, but isn't he a chef or something?"

You exchange a glance with Jean, who offers you a shrug.

"What does him being a chef have to do with anything?" Mikasa asks, glancing over to where Sasha stands with a red face.

"Nothing. I'm just saying that he's a chef."

"Then why'd you say ‘but?’" Eren questions with a confused face.

Connie peaks his head out of the refrigerator, mirroring Eren’s expression. "Because he's a chef?"

"That isn't correct grammar." Armin sputters out, turning to where Connie is. "It would be better to say ‘and he's a chef’."

"Yet you understood what I was trying to say, didn't you?"

"Yes, but—"

"And what's the problem then?"

"So," Mikasa says with a bored expression on her pale face. "You would say, ‘so what's the problem then?’"

Connie lets out a scoff as he makes himself a bowl of cereal. Him and Eren start talking about some soccer game that aired last night, and the topic of his surprise birthday party is long forgotten.

"Would you stop freaking out?" Jean orders, golden eyes wide at you. He's holding the end of the orange balloon in a tight grip, tying it to keep the air from gushing out. "You're making me freak out."

"Sorry. I'm just nervous." you apologize, frowning as you tie your own white balloon. "And on the verge of passing out. Tell me why we got stuck with blowing the balloons again?"

Jean grabs another balloon to fill up. "I know. Why didn't we just buy one of those air tanks for this? I would've brought one if I knew we still had to make more of these shits."

A snicker echoes from the hallway.

"I thought you guys were good with your mouths? Isn't that what you always say?" Reiner chuckles, walking through the living room with a white box in his beefy arms.

You scowl and grab another balloon to... blow. The thought of tossing a balloon at him crosses your mind quickly, but you know it would only waste your time. Plus, it looks as if he is carrying the cake.

"You've been carrying platters of food the entire time we've been here like some busboy while we've been giving our all, including our oxygen, to make this party come to life."

Reiner lets out a hearty laugh, ignoring Jean's chatter. "Historia only sent the two of you here to get you to shut up for once." he confesses, but you know it's a lie.

The guy next to you makes a faux scowl, watching as the blond disappears into the kitchen where the cake would be kept for the time being along with the other plates of food.

Your eyes scan over Historia's apartment. There are white and orange balloons and confetti scattered over the counter and her rosy coffee table. Earlier, Mikasa set up an extra table where all the beverages (mostly booze) sit. And Marco claimed to know someone who made the best cakes in town.

"I mean, not to be that person, but is this the best idea?" you question softly, throwing a raised brow at Jean. He purses his lips, giving you a knowing look. "I just wonder if Connie's in the mood for surprises."

He nods, eyes scanning to make sure Reiner is still occupied in the kitchen. "Sasha says it'll be good for him, but you know how over the top Historia gets when it comes to birthday parties." he mumbles back.

"You can say that again. I mean, haven't we learned enough from surprising our friends?" you ask as the the two of you recall when Historia threw Mikasa a surprise birthday party two years ago. That event only led you to learn two things: Mikasa hates surprises, and her right hook is amazing. "We're lucky it was Eren who took the hit."

Jean nods knowingly. "I think this will either result in everyone having a nice time and getting shit-faced, or we all might have a crying session after this."

You snort, raising a brow. "Let's just hope it's the former, then."

"What do you think about it?" Jean asks, glancing at you before starting to fill his balloon. "I mean, Connie's been living with you and Sasha for — what? — 6 months? You guys probably know how he'll react."

It's a tough question to answer. Hell, everything about the situation is tough. Is Connie in the right headspace to be thrown a birthday party? His first birthday after all that he's gone through in the past year?

"I don't know. I've never seen someone like him go through something like this." you reply in between breaths as you fill your balloon. "I think celebrating his birthday with friends will do him good, but a surprise party?"

Jean nods in agreement. "Yeah. Didn't he say he wanted to keep his birthday small?"

"Yeah, but Sasha thinks it's a lie." you reply.

"That's what Marco said."

"And when has Marco ever been wrong?"

"He has his moments." he states with a shrug and slight grin playing on his lips. "But there's no point in questioning what's already been scheduled. If Connie hates it, which I hope isn't the case, at least we'll know we tried."

You nod, tying your balloon. "On another note, I heard Mina's bringing some guy from her nursing class."

Jean raises a brow, as if this is the first time he's hearing such a thing. "She's coming? And Eren's not losing his shit?"

You laugh. "Armin said that Historia insisted that we invited Mina — to show it's all water under the bridge and all." you answer, looking for another balloon to fill. "But it was Ymir who told me she was bringing Thomas."

"Hmm," he hums. "At least someone's getting laid tonight."

"Have you seen Armin and Annie?" you ask with an incredulous laugh. "There's no way they aren't going out."

"Annie? With Armin? Please." Jean asks, surprised. "She looks like she could tear his head off. Shit, I'm even afraid of being alone in the same room as her."

You laugh at his exaggeration, and he joins in. The two of you know Annie's the definition of someone who could and would kill you, but you all know very well how much of a softie she's become for the group.

This is what you like about Jean. He's the only person you can manage to have an intellectual conversation with (if discussing your friends' business is considered intellectual). It's not hard to bounce off ideas with him, as well as laugh with each other.

Eren likes to poke fun at you and say you like spending time with Jean so much because he's got a nice face, but that's not true. Jean's handsome face has nothing to do with how much you enjoy his company.

Totally.

"What about you?" he asks suddenly.

You sigh, lightheaded from blowing into balloons and laughing. "What about me?"

"Who are you bringing tonight?"

"I think I should be the one asking you that question." you reply with instead of answering. "Last time I checked, you were dating that chick from your study group."

"She was just a friend." Jean says easily, watching you. "And that was a long time ago. Haven't talked to her in a few weeks."

"What about that chick from Marco's study group?"

"Also a friend."

"And from Armin's study group?" you hum, avoiding his golden gaze. "Or was she a friend too?"

"If I'd known you were so interested in my love life, I would've made more of a show out of it." Jean scoffs, joking, and you smack him. "But, yes, they were all friends. At least they are now."

You nod, hiding your grin. "Oh, so that means you've got your sight set on someone new?"

"It means I'm currently unattached." he explains with a sense of finality. The smirk on his face grows because he's an idiot. "Why? Who's asking?"

"If this is your way of asking if I have any single friends, you're sorely mistaken because there is no way I am letting you or your dick near them."

Jean laughs, but that doesn't stop his next words to lack in seriousness. "I don't want to know if your friends are single."

"Good." you say, an immense feeling of relief washing over you like an icy bucket of water on a hot day. "'Cause I can assure none of them want to date you."

"Good, because I don't want to date them either."

You smile, but it falls quickly. "Should I be offended you don't want to date my friends?"

"No, you should feel sorry for them." he answers, looking down at his balloon before bouncing against the top of your head. "They'll never get never have a chance to blow balloons with me, let alone date me."

"Right," You swat his hands away from your body as the orange balloon bounces somewhere on the floor. "Because the pipeline from blowing balloons with you to dating you is totally possible."

"Do you want it to be?"

You snap your head to look at him. A fire spreads across your body.

You can't say this is something you were expecting, especially not when you're wearing one of Connie's cartoon shirts. You're about to come back with something that you hope will have him burning, but Historia bursts out of the kitchen with two triangles of concealer under her eyes and hot pink rollers in her blonde hair.

"What the hell are the two of you still doing here?" she cries, blue eyes widened at your flushed face. "Go home and get ready before Sasha and Connie arrive!"

You're shocked to see her in such a panic. "Hisu, we still have enough time to finish up and get ready. It's only 6pm right now."

"It's 6pm?!" Jean cries in a panicked state, searching his pockets for his phone frantically. "Holy shit, why didn't you say anything sooner?! Where's Marco?"

"Everyone's gone, Jean. They left through the back door to not mess up the decorations in front." Historia says, grabbing the both of you by your wrists and dragging you to her backyard. "See, this is exactly why I told Armin we shouldn't put the two of you together without supervision. You guys always get carried away!"

Your cheeks burn at her words as you drive home, hands gripping the wheel so tight your knuckles turn white.

"It was entirely your fault." is the first thing Jean says as the two of you race to Historia's back door.

"My fault? I had no idea Connie and Sasha would show up at 7pm! Eren said they wouldn't arrive until 8pm!" you hiss back, hands reaching to unlock the wooden door that led to the backyard. "If anything, it's your fault. You knew exactly what time they would come, and you still got carried away."

"Why would you listen to Eren? The guy can barely differentiate left from right." Jean throws back with ease, swatting your hands away from the door handle. He unlocks it without any difficulty, which you scowl at him for. "And I couldn't pay attention to the time with you distracting me!"

"Oh, I'm sorry watching me blow balloons in Connie's Super Mario Bros. shirt is distracting." you scoff as the two of you rush into Historia's brightly-lit backyard.

You have to admit that your friends have truly outdone themselves. When you suggested Historia's, Ymir's, and Annie's shared apartment as the location for Connie's birthday party, you weren't expecting them to turn the place into such an amazing event.

The backyard is decorated in lightbulb strings hanging across the thick trees to illuminate the round tables draped in white coverings to give a sense of class to the event. It carries the same weight as an actual event thrown by a professional party planner.

It has Historia written all over it.

"Where have the two of you been?" Annie demands as she opens the sliding glass door for the two of you. She's wearing a baby blue dress that brings out the color of her eyes. "Don't look at me like that."

Your eyes jump to hers as you step in. "What?"

"I can hear your thoughts." she hisses, cheeks burning bright red. "I don't own anything that isn't a neutral color. Historia said I should wear this. End of story."

"You look nice." Jean grins, nodding at her dress. "I've never seen you put this much effort into your appearance. Hah, you're even wearing eyeliner."

Annie's narrows her eyes at him before turning around and waking back into the kitchen to hide from any more comments about her appearance. You don't miss the embarrassed flush of her cheeks.

"Jean," you whine, smacking his shoulder.

His brows furrow as the two of you walk around to inspect the apartment. "What did I do now?"

"You shouldn't have made such a big deal about the dress."

"I didn't say anything about the dress. That was you, actually." Jean corrects as the two of you stop by the table of beverages. "I only commented on the eyeliner she was wearing."

You scowl but pour a drink for each of you.

"She should get used to compliments if she wants to date Armin. He's always got something sweet to say." he adds. A grin grazes his lips when you hand him his cup. "Besides, there's nothing wrong with spending time to look nice."

You take a sip of your drink, letting the liquid burn your throat. "Of course you would say that. You spend a ridiculous amount of time doing your hair."

"But it looks nice, doesn't it?"

You hate it because he's right. His light brown hair resembles that of the caramels of the the earthy hues, and it looks best under the light of the apartment's lighting.

Lying is a wrong, so you turn away.

Jean leans against table. His gaze creates fire across your skin. You can barely process anything with the subtle aroma of his cologne blinding your ability to think. You suddenly feel more exposed to him than you've ever felt in the past years you've known him. Why is he staring longer than usual? Why now?

"Oh my gosh," you breathe, suddenly very horrified. "Do I have something on my face?"

"No!" he laughs loudly, reaching a hand out to calm you down. "No, you have nothing on your face."

That grants you little relief. "Then why are you staring? It's scaring me."

He shakes his head, smiling like you've created the sun with just your hands. "You're perfect."

A breath gets caught in your throat. You weren't expecting him to say something along the lines of You're perfect, especially not with so much conviction. His words replay in your head, looping through your mind as the two of you gape at each other with a slight tension in the air it makes it difficult to breathe.

There's a distorted beep from outside the apartment, which causes everyone in the area to stiffen. You all know that noise to belong to Sasha's old sedan the same color as shit-brown. In a flurry of freckles, Marco appears out of thin air and tugs you and Jean by your wrists to get close enough to the front door without being seen.

Everyone's shuffling around as quickly and quietly as they can. You bump into Mina and Thomas with so much force, the air in your lungs dissipates, and you think it's Eren who mutters out a string of apologies for stepping on your foot.

Once everyone is in their places, Ymir orders shut your mouths, or I'll scream. Maybe it's because you're squished between Reiner's arm that leaves room for no air at all and Jean's intoxicating cologne, or maybe you just manage to get an unflattering angle of the freckled woman, but you find everything in the moment hilarious.

You left out the most silent chuckle you can muster, but it's still too loud from the way Ymir gives you the side eye. Her expression only make you want to laugh even more.

A hand comes from behind you and clasps itself over your mouth. You'd be alarmed if you didn't know the only thing separating you from the wall is Jean.

"Be quiet," he murmurs into your ear. His voice sends a multitude of shivers down your spine. You find no humor in how quickly you wish to obey. "Or she'll slap the shit out of you, and I'll laugh."

You elbow his stomach, but there's little power to it.

Once your fit of laughter has disappeared and shows no signs of coming back, his hand leaves your mouth, but he remains close to you, hand finding purchase on your shoulder, close to the nape of your neck. Like clockwork, the fire he brings along with him ignites across your body. You hate that he does this to you without thinking of the consequences.

Doesn't he realize how much he affects you?

You don't have time to think much of Jean intentions, for the front door which was left unlocked is slowly pushed open. Everyone holds their breaths, waiting for the right moment.

But it never comes. You hear voice whispering on the other side of the door.

"Oh my gosh," Connie's voice comes out in a terrified tone. "Sasha, the door is unlocked. What the fuck? What if they got robbed? What if—"

"Then we oughta check on them!" she replies back quickly. "Connie, just open the door!"

"What? No! Why me?!" he says immediately. "We should call them to make sure they're alright."

"Constantine, if you don't—"

"That's not my name!"

Jean stifles a laugh from behind you. It sends goosebumps across your body. He takes note of them, so runs his hand down your arm as if to soothe you. His touch leaves you scorched.

You hear a groan from Sasha before quick stomps come close to the door once again. There's enough light from the moon for you to see her stand in the entrance of the living room, but not enough for her to see you.

The light remains off. "Look," she orders, holding her hand out to the dark, yet safe, emptiness of the apartment. "No one is here."

"Fine, you win." Connie sighs and walks into the apartment, closing the door behind him. "But if some crazy guy jumps out and starts robbing us, you're giving him your earrings."

Sasha grins, walking past the threshold to get the light and send the signal. "Just hurry up, so I can change my shoes."

"I thought you said you wanted to change your shirt."

The brunette reaches the light switch and flicks it before he can ask any further questions.

"Surprise!"

Much to your delight (and surprise), the party ends up successful as ever. Everyone owes an apology for doubting Sasha. She knew a surprise party was just what Connie needed, and you have to give credit where's it's due.

You just wish she would shut up about it.

"And I was just trying to getcha to stop freaking out and come inside," Sasha guffaws as she retells the story, as if everyone wasn't there. Her face is red from amusement and the alcohol in her system. "I was shitting myself!"

Connie's laughter is amplified at her words, nearly doubling over from his laughter. "I- I thought we were going to get kidnapped, and all you could talk about was your shoes!"

Their version of the story is hilarious, and just hearing their laughter brings smiles on everyone's face, but it's the 16th rendition they've told in the past hour.

And it's getting old.

So after listening to the wheezing laughter and slurred jokes from Connie and Sasha, you decide to find refuge in the kitchen.

It's a mess when you walk in — plates of half-eaten cake, bottles and bottles and more bottles of alcohol, and even more napkins are littered across the kitchen counter.

You pour yourself a glass of Annie's most treasured wine (because you know she won't mind, not if it's you) and begin cleaning as best you can.

Most of the items are paper plates and plastics utensils and cups, but the rest go into the kitchen sink. Decidedly, you choose not to go near the dirty dishes if your life depended on it. Instead, you settle on letting them soak with a few dollops of dish soap.

"There you are."

Jean finds you sitting atop the counter beside the kitchen sink, sipping away at your wine. He's got a boyish grin on his pink face as he walks toward you; you blame the alcohol. "I was looking for you." he says.

"Were you?" you hum, curious. "I've been here."

"Cleaning?" he questions, golden eyes gazing around the kitchen. It's much better than before, but the stacked dishes in the sink lessen the shine.

Of course, his eyes stay on them.

"I was going to get to that later," you say, the sudden need to explain rising out of your throat. He walks over to them, watching the bubbles fizz. "I just hate doing dishes."

Jean doesn't care. He turns the faucet on and submerges his hands into the sink.

"You don't have to—"

"Oh, I don't mind." he informs you with a light shrug as he begins washing the many, many plates and bowls and forks. "Marco does the restrooms, and I do dishes."

An image of Jean doing dishes after breakfast, still in his pajama bottoms (because you know he doesn't wear a shirt to bed), with a serious case of bed head and a sleepy face pops into your head.

You just nod, letting silence fill the room aside from the sound of running water. The silence gives you enough time to observe Jean as he works.

His jaw appears even sharper without the stubble he had earlier. He must've shaved when he got home. You can't help but notice the curl of his lashes and the perfect nose he seems to have. His hair, as always, is styled to your definition of perfection. You twitch with the sudden urge to run your hands through his hair.

He's beautiful, you think. He always has been. There's never been a moment in your day that you've thought otherwise. You couldn't deny such a fact the day Eren introduced the two of you during freshman year, and you can't deny it now.

"You know," Jean begins, grinning as he looks to where you sit. "I'd tell you to take a picture, but I like the way you stare at me."

You roll your eyes, doing little to hide your embarrassment at getting caught. "Get over yourself. I was not staring at you. I was just wondering how disgusting you must be to like doing the dishes."

"Have you never washed dishes before?" he asks with a laugh.

"Of course I've washed dishes, Jean. Doesn’t mean I like it."

"So? Doing them doesn't mean you like it." he replies as he washes what you assume is the last fork. "But I had to get away from whatever the hell Sasha was doing on the dance floor." He shuts the sink off and uses a rag to dry his hands. The left over bubbles begin to fizz out on their own.

"Last I checked, she was retelling a story we were all there for." you reply, amused.

He laughs, and suddenly he's so much closer to you than before. "Connie and Historia dragged Sasha to the dance floor, and you know how disoriented she gets when she drinks."

You raise your brows, setting your plastic cup of Annie's wine beside you. "Oh no," you breathe, holding back your laughter. "Don't tell me she took her pants off."

"She took her pants off." Jean confirms with a nod.

"Oh my gosh," you groan, heat rushing to your face at the thought of your roommate dancing like a headless chicken with no pants. "Did someone stop her?"

Jean nods, grinning at the memory. "Mikasa took her into Historia's room before anyone who isn't us could get a peak."

You make note of his subconscious groupings: you, him, your close-knit circle of friends, and then everyone else. You like it. You've never had friends like you do now, and you probably will never get the chance again. To him, you don't exaggerate over his word choice. You act natural, as if his words don't phase you at all.

But to you, it means the world.

"Sasha's happiest when she's being nurtured, and Mikasa's happiest when nurturing." you say instead, nodding. "I'm glad everyone is enjoying themselves."

"Me too," Jean agrees, grinning at you. It's dazzling, as always, and spurs a grin of your own to paint itself on your face. If anyone were to walk into the kitchen right now, they would find two idiots staring at each other with big smiles on their faces. You don't think you would mind, not if it's with him.

"You shouldn't tell the others, but you're my favorite." he admits, setting his hand on your knee. The weight of his words (and his hand) make your cheeks burn. "Don't let it get to your head, though.” he warns, reaching up to brush your stray hairs away from your face. “It’s already huge enough."

"My head is not huge." you correct quickly, swatting his hand from your face. You choose to ignore the one on your knee and leave it there. "Your head is huge, and I know it is because you've got all that hair covering it up." You bring your hands to his hair and reveal his perfectly normal forehead. "See? Look at your big ass forehead!"

Jean scoffs at your antics and takes this opportunity to poke at your sides, coaxing a laugh out of you. He does it again and again, your laughter spilling out of your mouth and filling the kitchen with the sound. You manage tickle him back, and his laughter joins yours in the kitchen.

Before you know it, a truce has been declared and you can barely breathe with how close he is. You don't know when his hand managed to move from your knee to up your mid-thigh.

You place your hand over his. "Jean," you whisper softly, moving his hand higher, closer. You act without thinking. "You're my favorite, too."

This is as far as you'll go. You won't risk your friendship for your selfishness and stupidity. If he doesn't get the hint now, he never will.

You know your mind isn't playing tricks on your when he starts inching even closer. Your heart races agaisnt your chest as you watch his eyes flutter shut, and you know it's coming.

It feels like everything around you has slowed into a quiet hum. The only thing you can focus on is Jean, Jean, Jean. His eyes, his hands, his lips. You've fantasized about a time where you actually had a shot with him, but you weren't expecting this. You weren't expecting him to actually want you back.

His lips brush your tentatively, slowly, giving you enough time to pull away and stop this at any given moment. When you don't, when you open your mouth and allow him further access, when you show him you want him just as much, his hand leaves your hip and travels in search of yours. He brings your palm to his chest, right where his heart is. You don't notice it at first, but suddenly you feel it.

The plundering of his racing heart against his chest. It makes your hands curl into his hair so deliciously that he lets out a groan. Something has changed. His kisses grow deeper, desperate. It's intense and intimate and something you've never felt before.

You hear a door open and stumbling footsteps come closer. Like clockwork, Jean pulls away from you and switches on the kitchen faucet, submerging his hands into the leftover bubbles. You bring your almost-forgotten cup of wine back to your lips, attempting to hide the smile on your face.

"Ah! It's you guys!" Connie giggles, stumbling into the kitchen. His cheeks are tinted a rosy color from the alcohol and the spring heat. Jean shuts the water off and dries his hands with a dishcloth. "I'm having so much fun, you guys. I've had way too much to drink."

He shuffles over to where you and Jean are, putting his hand on the man's shoulder. "I'm just having a really nice time, and I'm, like, so blessed right now. I mean, you guys know what I'm saying, right?" the drunk man continues. Tears begin falling from his eyes. "There is so much pain in the world, but not in this room."

He begins full-on sobbing against Jean's body. "And I never thought we would be here, you know? But, like, it's just so hot outside, and I figured it would be nice to stretch my legs out, you know?" Connie sobs, gasping for breath as he wipes his tears and snot on Jean's dress shirt. "You know, everyone, like, they have a person who fits them, that's made for them, you know? And, like, it's so beautiful."

Jean chuckles at his friend, wrapping a consoling arm around him. "Yeah, man," He exchanges a glance with you. His cheeks are still tinted pink and his smile hasn't left left his face since your lips did. "It is."

He denies you every time

A few days later, he got annoyed, so he taught to to bake tiny deserts, like cupcakes and brownies

Malewife will be proud of anything you do!

Even if its just one tiny desert!

He literally loves anything you do

Since its the season of fall and nearing through winter..

winter bonus; he knits sweaters for you OKAY BACK TO THE BAKING TOPICS

Loves to cuddle you just after making smol cupcakes

Kiss on head for all the cupcakes you make

1 cupcake = 1 kiss

"Love, Just wanted you to know your doing great~" then he kisses you

nsfw bbbbbonus: he'd let you eat the cream in his matcha cake if you know what i mean ehehehhehehe, but fr, he'd give you love marks everywhere and like makeout harshly with you afterwards

He'd clean up everything for both of you guys instead, would he really let his beautiful/handsome partner stress after just getting the most pleasure, just to clean up again? No.

Anyways, during november, you both love to prepare fall themed food, like pumpkin pies, chocolate chip cookies, and maple themed/flavored cupcakes!

You'd give them to friends, like Itto, Ayaka and Ayato, Gorou, and all those other people you both know! ♡ Itto ♡

Doesn't know how tf to bake, really messy

He loves it when you bake him something, and he'd gobble everything up just after you baked them, he'd totally beg you for more

He tries to bake once, he broke your bowl/s:(

When he properly made a cupcake, you were so proud of him

He's just in amazement how he made a nice cupcake for once

He gobbles it up right after though

winter bonus; He loves watching you cook in the sweater he bought you

Itto is your cupcake tester honestly

He gets home early just to eat some nice deserts

I think he'd personally be better at cooking, rather than baking-

Your sibling's bday was coming up, and this time, they didn't want just cake..

They wanted a lot of food, so you needed some help!

Itto cooks, you bake, It's literally perfect!

Your sibling thinks of Itto as a cool older brother honestly

So, lets say your sibling likes dumplings, and Itto knows how to cook,

Your sibling would straight up shove 5 dumplings in their mouth, yes they did almost choke

When they're gonna eat their 6th dumpling, "Oi. What do you say to Itto?" you looked viciously at the child, "Thank you!" your sibling said with a full mouth running away with the bowl of dumplings.

You gave Itto a kiss before helping your sibling out with opening their gifts and stuff

"I love you too.." Itto told you after kissing him :)

Your NSFW Bonus little simp!; Rough sex after their birthday.

No you couldn't walk for a week, so uh- ♡ Jean [and Klee!] ♡

You and Jean love spending time with eachother! What other better way than spending time together than a clean session in the kitchen, hm?

Jean would love to open her own bakery with you, but her duties as the one and only, grand acting master, she cannot do such..

You'd always bake Klee a snack if she wants! Brownies? No big deal! Cupcakes? Sure!

You and Jean bake Klee's snacks for school together!!

Klee loves the snacks you prepare for her because,, you guys decorate it so cutely! Like little flowers here, little buttons there, little bombs here, you both just love to decorate all her snacks in her favorite things!

Jean loves to just kiss your eyelids!

She asks you to close your eyes, then kiss both your eyelids..

"Hey.. Do.. you mind closing your eyes real quick, sweetheart?" Jean asked turning slightly blushing, "Sure! But what for~?" You asked as she kissed your eyes..

THIS WOMAN IS JUST A WHOLE BLESSING

It's Klee's Birthday!! What cake shall we do- Ahh! Strawberry!!

Jean spends so much adding tiny bombs all over the strawberry cake you beautifully decorated

Klee is outside playing that piñata game with all her friends!

You blindfold Klee, while Jean carries the beautiful cake out :D

Klee would be sooo happy over her cake, she absolutey loves the tiny decorations Jean put out, while she loves the taste you made the cake!

"Thank you Y/N, and Thank you Jean! Klee loves you both sooo much!!" Klee told you while hugging your leg, Jean bends down to collect Klee's cheek kiss!

Your NSFW Bonus!; You dom her in bed // Klee would love a sibling, wouldn't she hm? ehe ♡ Venti ♡

He loves to bother you while you bake shit for him

Just him, being the airhead he is <33

Venti likes to just, take your ingredients away, so that he can make you beg for them, what a weirdo..

So one day, you just took his nintendo [i think he would own one, by stealing it from some spoiled kid, maybe scaramouche, but yeah]

Venti begged you all day just for you to not give it back

"BABEEEEEEEEEE JUST GIVE IT BACK PLEASE I NEED TO FINISH MY OUTFIT ON ANIMAL CROSSING" He whined, "No. I'm playing Pokèmon." You told him, while you intensely played Pokèmon. This bitch shouldn't have taken your ingredients away, huh?

Then one week later, he wanted to learn how tf to bake

Why? He's hungry 24/7. Of course. I guess.

You start teaching him, and he makes a mess </3

You'd both be a mess

Super messy + he makes you clean it up

He does cuddle you while giving you chocolates he got for you as an apology [he stole them from spoiled scaramouche <33]

"Uh, babe? Where did you get all of this? I don't think you work or anything-"

"I stole it. Why baby?" He told you gleefully while feeding you the chocolates,

"WHAT?"

He went on the couch to sleep tonight, a punishment just for him<3

After teaching him the next morning, he bakes you cupcakes as snacks :0

He also says, sorry for.. for stealing..

Sibling's bday party, no, he doesn't help prepare, but play with the kids at the party, you ask Xiao for help instead, he's kind of good at baking y'know!

I don't know why, but Venti would get happy when the cake arrived with the kid, a platonic match made in heaven.. Gosh..

So, NSFW Hc; You dom him, as a punishment for not helping you with the cake :((

He's a great sub though <33

Happy Birthday, My liege..

note : I've been working for this fanfic for few days now, I'm in hurry posting this bcs I have exam this week. But STILL HAPPY BDAY TO OUR COMMANDER CALE!!! Warning : angst ig?, also bad grammar maybe

Today might look the same as ever, but somehow it feels so special. I wonder why is that? Oh, when thinking of it, it is already the day... Well, I guess I should call Raon to accompany me, I bet he won't refuse this time.. right? I went to the Forest of Darkness, after all that place is Raon's favorite place after 'He' gone. "Raon! Are you there?" I yelled to empty spaces of the Forest of Darkness. I saw a large black aura in the air, I let out a chuckle. How big he has become, he is still a baby in my eyes.

Perhaps, 'He' also thinks that if 'He' was here.

"Choi Han, Are we going to visit him?!" Raon exclaims happily to me. "Yes, but before that we must buy some presents, It's 'his' special day"

"Oh, Okay! Where are we going first?!" Raon tilting his head to my way. I didn't say anything, instead showing Raon ways of the places I wanted to go. Firstly, I go to a flower shop. I heard the flowers this year have grown beautifully, so I thought I should buy a flower. I was deep in thought, without my knowing a woman had shown up in front of the shop. "Most people choose flower carnation for this month, especially pink carnation," she explained.

She added more "In flower language, pink carnation means 'I'll never forget you'. I know what's the reason you're here. You want to buy a flower for him, right?" We make eye contact, with her words, I gave a little bit of thought. Then, I opened my lips. "I'll be buying daffodil flowers", hearing my words she widened her eyes. "Oh, may I ask why you choose daffodil instead?" she asked. I changed my view to yellow flowers in another vase. "What I feel for him is respect for what he has done until his last breath" I answered her without any hesitation.

The woman only closed her eyes and goes back in to shop. Then, came out with a bouquet full of daffodils. She smiled at me and said "Please give my regards to him later", I only nodded and I then left the shop after I paid her.

After that, I went to Duke Henituse Estate. Heh...I still remember how I first met him that time. If I am not mistaken, there should be a cookie shop opposite side of the bread shop... Ah, found it! I walked towards the greenish house-like shop. I heard that they sell a cookie different yet same as Alberu's cookies. I thought I should buy them since 'He' likes Alberu's cookies the best after all. Remembering those memories back then makes me chuckle alone in the crowds.

Then, our final location is Super Rock Villa where 'He' is supposed to be and the place that we are supposed to visit today. In the backyard, there's a large tree with red leaves. It's red as sunset yet deep like blood. Beside the tree, I saw a crafted stone with a name, the stone glued to land as if it was made for it.

"Cale-nim"

"Human!!"

We stared at the stone while calling for it. "Human, we buy flowers and your favorite cookies for your presents!!" said Raon happily. I kneeled towards the grave, still locking my eyes to it. "Many things happen while you're gone, and if you don't mind, would you listen to my story 'again'?" I stopped to puts the bouquet of daffodils above the grave.

"I bought it for you, at least I can show you my respect to you" I explained. I closed my eyes then opened it again. "Before I start my story..."

"Happy Birthday, my liege,"

-End-

You and Me II || Harry Potter

Pairing: Draco Malfoy x Slytherin/Reader

Summary: After years at Hogwarts, your life would really begin and nothing could be better than to start this new phase with your official birthday party, but the next day does not turn out quite as expected.

Warnings: For those who haven't read the first part yet, Tom Riddle is not Voldemort in this fic. The first wizard war was against another wizard but its consequences are still valid! Just pure fluff and an implied bit of smut.

Word Count: 3,0k

A/N: This is obviously the part two of You and Me, but it’s not necessarily related, so you can just read this one as a one shot but the first part gives you a lot of context for this, ok? ok then. (Happy really early Birthday Katie! I'd like to post this on your bday but I was too anxious for this. Hope you like it!)

Part I

04/27/1997

"You're really not well, how can a person be in this state when their birthday is so close? I've tried to understand and still can't", the brunette's bored voice made itself present in the room for the 4th time in the day and as I prepared my answer, she held up her hand and delivered her own hypothesis first. "You can't be sad that we're finishing seventh year, I swear for Merlin's sake, if that's the case, I'll...", the words slipped slowly from her mouth, as did the calmness remaining in her.

"Even though anything you have to say sounds like a lot of fun, it's not the case. I really want to start my own life, have my own job and all that. I'm just thinking a lot lately, too many things have happened, we've all changed so much", I didn't bother to look at her, still focused on the ceiling painted like a blue summer sky and she didn't mind asking permission to lie next to me on the bed.

"We had to grow up eventually, although some took too long, in fact, I can point out for sure that half the boys still act like kids", we both laughed until our bellies ached.

"Well, good for us then because Draco and Blaise are not on that list and don't even dare look at me like that, you know he's changed a lot", I heard her amused giggles and already imagined what was coming.

"I wasn't even going to say anything this time, it's really impressive how you just stick up for him, I hope it's the same with me", I frowned and looked at her as if she was out of her mind, and there were chances she really was. "Since when do you need protection from someone?".

"I never said I needed it, but it's nice to know I have it", she shrugged without looking me in the eye and I decided it would be better to change the subject, because nothing good ever comes out of a Pansy, who is unseasy in any sense.

"So, about your...," she started. "Pansy, what do you…”, I said at the same time, but I just smiled and waited in silence for what she had to say.

"I was going to ask about your parents, you're going to have to live with them in a month, so how are you feeling about that?", she just glanced at me.

"That's been going through my mind, I have no idea what it's going to be like but it's going to be better than anything that's happened in the past, that's enough for now", I sighed.

"You know you can come to my house, right? You can hide there", I agreed with a smile and we continued in a comfortable silence.

04/29/1997

7:30 A.M.

On the morning of my birthday, I woke up in the best possible way. The warmth emanating from Draco's body and the thick blanket kept me unfazed by the freezing wind coming in through the window. I didn't want to move and I didn't need to.

I sighed satisfied with the position I was in, curled up under the blanket hugging the blond's bare torso, with no responsibility or obligation other than to enjoy my day.

"Morning, love", his arms pressed me tighter against him, I could feel his calm breathing and somehow, I felt calmer too.

I left a few kisses on his bare skin and the goosebumps they caused on him made me break out into a little smile. "Good morning, love", I whispered leaning back against him.

"Come here, let me give you a proper happy birthday", he gave my hair a quick pat and lifted my chin to look at him.

As soon as I crawled closer to him, his arms entwined around my waist and pulled me even closer.

"Happy birthday my love", he left several little kisses on my face and neck before moving to my lips, but our moment was interrupted by a noise on the window.

A gray owl incessantly beat its beak on the window pane, we looked at each other, neither of us wanted to get up, but it would be too cruel to leave the poor thing waiting there.

"It's my birthday, I have the right to ask you to go", I gave a brief kiss on his lips before letting him go to the war field.

I stayed warm while he opened the window further so that the owl could get through, as well as the icy wind.

He rushed back to my side in time to see me tear the seal off the letter I received.

"It's from my parents, they are really working hard this year. I have to admit that", I told him as I scanned the paper.

"At least they realized what a great daughter they have, she's a little mean but still great", I was too busy reading the letter to notice his cunning and more icy than usual hands pass around me.

I jumped out of bed as I felt the shock of our skin contact and he had the audacity to laugh, I had to control myself too much not to grab my wand.

"Draco Lucius Malfoy, you are dead now", I climbed into bed with my pillow, ready to fight.

20:00 P.M.

A few hours later, I was getting ready for the party in the Slytherin common room, everyone was invited since after this stressful year, a party would be nice and I couldn't physically kick anyone out.

I was barely concentrating in my makeup, Nala was running back and forth between my feet wanting attention and I couldn't give it to her or for the next few hours, no matter how much it broke my heart.

"For Merlin's sake... Nala! Sit!", it saddened me to see that she obeyed but still wanted to come running to me, that deserved a good reward.

I fed her one of her favorite cookies and petted her shiny fur before going back in front of the mirror. I checked several times to make sure I was ready.

"See you later my love, mma will be back soon", I waved to her and went downstairs before I gave in.

There were already a lot of people when I arrived, the new song by The Weird Sisters was so loud that Pansy didn't hear me, even though I called out 2 times as she passed by on the other side of the room.

As I made my way through, many friends stopped to congratulate me and also to chat a bit, by the time I realized what I was supposed to do, more than 10 minutes had passed.

"Have you guys seen Pansy? I was looking for her", I said before turning my own glass of buttered beer over and leaving it in Tom's hand. "See you guys later", my eyes were glued on the blond guy standing in the corner and in less than a second, I was walking towards him.

"What the hell am I supposed to do with that?!", I heard his indignant voice but ignored it along with all the other people, who tried to talk to me on my way to him.

"You know, the delay is only elegant because it doesn't last more than 5 minutes", he was smiling even though he hated tardiness.

"Maybe for most people, a queen is never late love, the others were too early. Especially when it's her birthday", I stopped in front of him. "You haven't given me my present yet, I'm waiting", I pointed to my own lips.

He chuckled and looked at me for a few seconds before he said something, even with the lights flashing I could still see the twinkle in his eyes, which still reflected mine equally.

"Are you asking this as a gift around too?", his smile widened as did mine, he took a step closer.

"Does that mean you're not going to give it to me? I had high expectations for this one in particular", something in his gaze changed, I could clearly tell but it was gone as quickly as it appeared.

"That particular one can wait, right now, I have my main gift", he took his hands off his back and in them was a green velvet median box with silver details.

I was almost breathless just admiring the package once it was in my hands. To top it off, a green silk bow and I had the impression that he had made it himself.

When I opened it, my jaw dropped. A silver necklace with an emerald heart carefully displayed in the box.

"Draco, you really didn't have to give me something expensive", he didn't answer me, instead took the necklace and helped me put it on.

"It seemed like an appropriate gift, now that we will no longer be living by Slytherin rules, it’s a nice way to say goodbye", I didn't think twice before I kissed him.

"I love you, I'll never get tired of saying that", I whispered between kisses. "You won't forget that, right?", I sighed as he brushed his lips across the skin of my neck.

"I have no reason to forget love, I...", we were interrupted by a forced cough behind me.

"Why don't you two just go into a room? No one has to see this scene", Blaise's unmistakable voice sounded and I felt my boyfriend giggle, not moving out of position.

"You can go after your girlfriend instead of getting in our way, wouldn't that be a brilliant idea?", I didn't see what happened, but a nice answer wouldn't be."So where were we honey?", he raised his eyes to meet mine.

"We better save that for the end of the party love, wasn't that your idea?", I pulled away from him and took his hand. "You have a whole party to enjoy."

"I already regret that decision, thanks for reminding me", he mumbled that and a few other things I couldn't hear.

07/01/1997

7:00 A.M.

"I still can't believe this is our last breakfast at Hogwarts", Astoria commented amidst the silence that had formed at our table.

"I still can't believe it's really over, it seems like any minute now I'm going to wake up and be back in third year", Pansy added.

"Well, I hope you'll make better decisions if you go back there tonight. No one forgot the hair Pan", my remark made everyone laugh for the first time in the day, a bit of pride grew inside me.

"Just because Hogwarts is over doesn't mean we're going to split up. None of you have any right to be this down today", Theo said and I was forced to smile as was everyone else.

"I was glad to be rid of you, at no point I was sad," Blaise muttered but we could all hear him and we all laughed once again.

8:00 A.M.

"What are you thinking?" he was with his eyes closed leaning against the train window, but I knew he wasn't asleep.

"How familiar everything here is, the worn leather of the seat, the smell of candy in the hallway and of trees coming in through the window. Other things will be familiar 7 years from now, it's just weird to think about it," he continued in the same position but held out his hand to me.

"That's true but I feel better knowing that we will continue to be each other's constant," I intertwined our fingers and we continued like that until we arrived.

11:00 A.M.

"It's time for the gifts, we prefer to give you personally. I believe you will like it", my mother said as soon as we sat down on the couch in our living room.

I smiled not knowing how to respond, since I usually got the same thing every year, money or more paint, and I was pretty sure they didn't choose in person.

"Go ahead, open it. We decided to give two separate presents this year, the pink wrapping is mine and the purple one is your father's", the two boxes were right next to me on the couch, so why was I hesitating so much to pick them up?

A lot was going on in my head, they have changed a lot in the last year but why? I could be dreaming of the ideal day, but no dream was as vivid as this one.

I took a deep breath and opened the pink first, I expected to find anything but my stuffed bunny, he was washed and clean, different from how I remembered, but still the same.

"I thought I lost or tore it a long time ago", I managed to say as I hugged him like one who finds an old friend, but he was beyond that.

"He was really in a rough state, but I was able to fix him. It was in one of the boxes in the basement, remember how you got it?", I agreed again, a wave of memories washed over me.

My parents had just arrived home from a business trip, it was the first time I had been alone at home without them.

"Mommy, Daddy!", I ran down the stairs as fast as my little legs would allow and threw myself into my father's arms, not caring about his wet coat, which soon became even wetter. "You promi-promised that you would be back soon”.

"Oh my love, something unexpected has happened. We were never going to leave you alone for so long," her hands wiped away my tears and took me in her lap. "So, for you never have to be alone again, we brought a little friend, he will always keep you company when we have to leave."

That wasn't enough to calm me down but it made me curious enough to stop crying, I didn't have any friends before that.

I hurried to open the other package but there was only an empty picture frame with no photo inside.

Before I could open my mouth to ask for an explanation, shapes began to appear from the black background.

I recognized the picture, me still a baby in my mother's arms and my father behind her, hugging us both but as soon as I blinked, it was gone.

Another picture formed in its place, I was older, about two or three years old, this one I had never seen. I was on my mother's lap holding a drawing that I had made and possibly looked terrible.

More pictures appeared and disappeared but I didn't wait to see them all at that moment.

"I loved these gifts...thank you Mom and Dad," I made a great effort to hold back the tears as I hugged them both. "They are the best presents I have ever gotten."

23:00 P.M.

"What are you two doing out there at this time of night?! Draco, have you been drinking now?", Narcisa gave us another stern look before opening the door and shoving us inside.

We walked in almost tripping over the living room rug, laughing at each other, to the point where tears formed in our eyes.

"Shhhhhh, my dad must be working... uhhhhhh, he's not going to like this, u-um," his hand covered my mouth.

I pushed his hand away from my face. “Me?Shut up? You're practically screaming you idiot!".

"You two, I don't want another peep out of you. Come up quietly. Your father doesn't like to be interrupted," she whispered, but it was enough for us to agree without hesitation.

"Yes, Captain, I mean, ma'am," he pulled me up the stairs before her patience ran out.

07/02/1997

14:00 P.M.

"What do you mean, you don't remember what happened?", the blond was clearly trying hard not to laugh and I sighed, still under the blanket.

"I don't remember Draco, did your mother really not hate me? I can't believe we came here...", even though no one was watching me, I started to blush, or was it just the fever? There's no way to be sure now.

"That could never happen, she made sure to request your favorite tea. Now get out of there before it gets cold", he tried to pull on my blanket but I used all the rest of my strength not to let him.

"Noooo, out there that's too cold. Come here, it's too cold for you too", I took one of my hands from the comfortable warmth to pull him to me. "You didn't have to get up so early to get this", I whispered but soon after started coughing.

"There must be a potion to help you, I'll just get it and then...", he was ready to get up from the bed but I didn't let go of his arm.

"I just want you, please stay here? The elf will bring it anyway", before he could protest, I covered him with the blanket. "You're not well either, let's just lay down for now".

He opened his mouth to deny it again but all that came out was a sneeze, after this he just gave up and lied down too. We were both screwed but at least we were together, right? I tried to think positive.
