I am SO sorry for the much delayed update. I had a week full of exams T-T

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, Corpse, happy birthday to you." Sykkuno sings.

Corpse claps himself since there is no one else to, acting embarrassing but truthfully he's just endeared. Sykkuno places the little muffin on the pillow on Corpse's lap and settles on the bed besides him. Corpse bites into the muffin and his face lights up. His phone starts pinging with all the midnight happy birthday texts from his friends. It's hard for him to think about a time when his own father wouldn't wish him and now he's got so many people. He pushes the thoughts away.

"This is delicious." He says with a mouthful of cake, lips covered in icing.

"Thank you." Sykkuno beams and leans forward to kiss him, licking the icing in process.

They share the muffin and then Corpse grabs his phone to thank everyone. Sykkuno disappears somewhere to get Corpse's gifts.

"Gifts, multiple?" Corpse had asked.

"Yes, multiple."

Sykkuno is still procrastinating over that one gift but he tells his mind to shut up. He walks back to the room.

"Okay, so here's the first one." He places a huge box on the bed.

Corpse rubs his hands together in what he thinks is a vicious manner, but it just looks adorable. Sykkuno bought everything on Corpse's Amazon wishlist including and not limited to his studio equipment which he had been whining about getting for the longest time.

"Sykkuno! This must have costed so much!" Corpse yells, looking up.

Sykkuno waves a hand. "Nothing much, I had a lot of savings."

"That's even worse!"

"Just say thank you and move on!" Sykkuno says back and laughs.

Corpse pouts but moves to hug him. Sykkuno takes advantage of this and plants himself in Corpse's lap, legs either side of his hips.

"Next gift," he whispers, hyper aware of their close proximity.

"What's it?" Corpse smiles.

Sykkuno takes out a small box from his pocket and hold it in his hands in front of Corpse. He gestures him to open it. There's two keychains and a small note sitting inside. Corpse opens the note to discover some kind of website link.

"Grab your phone." Sykkuno instructs.

Corpse copies the whole thing to his Google Chrome and gasps when the site opens. It shows pictures of a beautiful flat. He scrolls through the pictures showing the different parts of the flat. He's particularly admiring the kitchen photo when Sykkuno speaks up.

"20 minutes away from here, close to campus though. Fits in our budget. Looks really cute. What do you think?"

"It's fucking beautiful."

Sykkuno laughs. "Really? I know we've been struggling very much with finding a flat we both like."

"Really. This is everything we both want. It's perfect." Corpse nods, voice sounding choked up.

"Well, that's great then. We can go look at it later this week?"

"Absolutely." He kisses him.

"And now the third gift!"

"What could be better than this?" He shakes his head.

"Hmm, let me think. ME!" Sykkuno says and connects their lips together.
