Kaito and Kyoko had planned. They'd plotted. They'd formed a pact! They'd perfected recipes and toiled away preparing feasts and gifts in secret, and now the promised hour of the promised day had arrived.

It was time to put this kidnapping into motion.

Even as she put the last carrot flowers into place, Kyoko was on high alert for the sounds of a certain birthday boy approaching--like those footsteps falling softly out in the hall. Glancing urgently over at her partner in crime, she hissed, "Kaito! The target! Intercept!!"

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

If they looked happy, it might just possibly be because they were! in fact! quite happy! Excellent job not totally rejecting their attempts to give you a good time, Shinji, you are rewarded with smiles.

Smiles, and at least one eager set of eyes on him as he made a tentative move to start the feast. Kyoko went ahead and took a croquette for herself, but she didn't eat it right away, awaiting the birthday boy's first bite.

Just imagine. All three of them? Happy with this arrangement? Absolutely wild.

If they were all helping themselves to something fried, Kai went ahead and helped himself to one of those tasty looking shrimps. "She went all out," Kai said with a pleased note as he hefted that shrimp up, "you're in for a real good time."

He can already see that an astounding amount of effort was made here! It would be a real shame to let any of it go to waste, even without all of the votes of confidence flying around.

"It all looks really delicious." Might as well prove that assumption right sooner rather than later. With a soft, "Thank you for the food," he takes a bite of that tasty, tasty looking chicken. It only takes a moment of actually tasting it before his eyes light up, "Mmmh!" It's good! Really good!!

"You went all out," Kyoko chided, sending Kaito a small Look. He'd made a lot of things! And worked very hard! And done a good job!! "And this was all your idea from the start anyway." She had merely added embellishments!

But oh look, fried chicken success was happening over there in Shinji's mouth, reflected on his face. Kyoko wouldn't comment on it, but she was certainly glowing with an extra bit of pride as she took a bite of her croquette. "M-mmh~!" Look Kai, proof of how good a job you did!

He wasn't going to look at that Look because it was still just way easier to hoist all the credit on other parties. Please give all the praise and adoration to the people that frankly did way more! Sure maybe in the long run that would make it seem like he did nothing in this trio but whatever, he didn't think that was a problem.

How dare you call him out like this. So he was just going to shove this shrimp in his mouth and ignore how pink his cheeks had flared up. As anticipated, the shrimp was a Delight. "Mhmm."

Clearly Kyoko didn't pull off this whole thing by herself - Shinji wasn't about to believe as much for a moment. Not that he'd put it past her do throw herself into making an impressive spread like this, but even if she had done the bulk of the work and organizing, was she just going to leave Kai out of the preparations? Doubtful.

The color lighting up Kai's cheeks were enough of a giveaway to the truth of Kyoko's rebuttal, regardless. The two of them! Had done so much! It's enough to tug a small smile out of him, aimed right at Kai alongside a gentle nudge with his elbow. A silent 'good job' gesture for one hardworking boy.

He swallows that bite, a definite sense of warmth overtaking him as he really, truly takes in the scene surrounding him. These two... are far too good to him. Making this feast, dragging him out here, assuring him that they don't mind a quiet day out for his sake... "Thank you," he says, gratitude overflowing from his thoughts. "This - all of this - is incredible."

Look away all you want, you would never win this battle, Kaito. Kyoko was willing to call you out every day for the rest of your life. Contributions from good boys would be recognized.

Even if that contribution was the simple act of being in their lives. Watching Shinji, that other extremely good boy, Kyoko had to smile some of that warmth right back at him. "We're the ones who wanted to say 'thank you,' though. That's what birthday parties are for, right?"

Kai puffed a little at that nudge, but all it resulted in was another smile turned Shinji's way. Yeah, okay. Fine. Maybe he did a little more than he said for this very good boy beside him.

"That's what I've been led to believe," Kai agreed. "A day for thank you for all the days we've got to have with you."

They never had to put this much effort into it, though! It's enough for Shinji to just let him stay happily by their sides, but he knows that arguing that would be a losing battle, today especially.

It fills his heart with an overwhelmingly warm, fluttery feeling, the very notion that those days would be worth all of this. That him having a nice birthday would be worth it. It really does toe the line of too much to handle, but those warm assurances keep him firmly on the side of simply wanting to appreciate it, hold these efforts close to his heart. They're so good to him... gosh. Gosh!

That nudge from earlier to Kai's arm is upgraded to a very gentle, brief lean from Shinji. "I'm definitely going to come out of today spoiled." Spoiled by good food and good people - let's straighten up and take another serious look at the offerings. "Ah... are these apple rabbits?"

Jeez Shinji, already talking about being spoiled after eating one (1) piece of fried chicken. What's gonna happen when you open your presents? Will you simply expire when you see the cake?

But they can worry about all that when the time comes. Now is the time to beam proudly again. "Yes!! Kaito did a really good job on them, right? They really jump out at you!"

Don't worry Shinji. If it was feeling too much, surely all you had to do was look at your boyfriend who was already flustering again. All of his secrets! Were being revealed! So suddenly! It just kept happening.

"Wanfedemfobecute," was something vaguely resembling words as Kai shoved more shrimp in his mouth.

Yes, he is going to perish. He will die, and my mistake was doing any threads that take place after today because he will be Dead. Oops.

But until then, he can at least admire the cute little fruits and the work put into making them exceptionally charming. One of those bunnies is plucked right out of its compartment so that Shinji can get a closer look at it.

"You did, they're really cute." Who knew Kai was hiding a talent like this? It's not a total surprise, but it's still very much worth admiring.

RIP in pepperonis Shinji, at least you won't have to suffer now.

And Kaito might as well die with him. How fitting, lovers dying together. "Right, right~" Kyoko was nodding a lot, absolutely glowing with obnoxious pride. "You should have seen his intent face when he was making them! The cuteness would definitely knock you out!"

Who could have imagined the fastest way to murder Kaito was to reveal the faces he made while carefully crafting small animals out of fruit. He jabbed an accusing finger in Kyoko's direction.

"Y'just wait and see what she's got in store for you."

"Ah?"

Is it some kind of competition now? Who can be the cutest while... making things? Or does he just mean that she has something exceptionally cute in store to murder him with? He looks between Kai and Kyoko, partially curious about how this will unfold, but also a bit worried about how much the knowledge of this Extra Effort and the cute people doing it might end his life.

For now, though, he will sit back and let this war over who makes cuter faces and/or things unfold without his input. Just gonna nibble that apple bunny. Yum.

Whoa, hey there. What was that about? Kyoko genuinely wasn't sure, actually, but she drew herself up indignantly all the same.

"I didn't make anything as cute as apple bunnies. I didn't even decorate the cake that much!"

It was already well established that birthdays were also just to die. He would help prove this thoroughly in a month.

Kai waggled his finger a bit. "But you made really cute faces while you made it. And the other things!" The things he wouldn't spoil! "They're really cute too!" They didn't even touch on all those cute carrot flowers and orange stars, but possibly because those were a team effort.

Oh wait. Hold on. "Oh. Spoilers, Shinji, there's a cake."

"I... had a feeling." He can pretend to be shocked if you need him to, but getting out of a birthday without a cake seems unlikely.

"I'm sure both of you were very cute," he says evenly, like it isn't a very silly thing to be arguing about in the first place.

Kyoko huffed. "Of course there would be a cake. See, even Shinji, who we were able to surprise despite everything, knows there'll be a cake! It's the natural way of things."

Please do not look at how pink her cheeks just got though. Do not observe her right now. "But I didn't make faces when I was making it!"

Hey just because he wasn't hip on your cake culture, geez.

But oh. Oh she was being observed. Kai leaned in against Shinji, whispering dramatically. "It was like that one, but happy about it."

If Kai got a cake, and Kyoko got ~~two~~ a cake, then Shinji would be a fool to not expect the tradition to continue on his birthday. He'd even gotten a slice on his birthday last year! It's just destined to happen, honestly.

He leans back in return, to catch those very, very secretive whispers better. "Ohhh, I can see it," he nods in agreement. Sorry, Kyoko, you are being Perceived. "Yes, that would be very cute."

They should have given him three cakes to really keep the pattern going. What fools.

But hey. Hey! Hey!! Stop that! "You can't see anything!! There's nothing to see! I'm just peacefully eating a croquette!"

"Uh-huh." Cutely. "Glad you're enjoying it."

"The point is--" Wait was there a point, Kai where were you going with that-- "maybe some cute things happened cuz we were thinking about the cutest person here."

Kyoko's reaction manages to successfully pull out a very small laugh from Shinji, one that would probably last a bit longer if it weren't for Kai's comment. Instead, he ends up nearly choking on one of those laughs. Well done, well done.

"N-no... no, I'm sure it's just because that's how you two are."

Cute people doing cute things. A much more reasonable conclusion to come to, rather than trying to suddenly and incorrectly claim that he's the cutest one here.

Kyoko had taken a big bite right after that remark, squirrel cheeks complementing her pout, but fortunately the fluster faded soon as Kaito went back to teasing the correct person. Yes, thank you, good job.

Swallowing, she shook her head. "As the motivation for all of this, you have to take responsibility. Accept it!"
