Missing Piece V - Special ♡︎

Shirabu's POV
I woke up due to the fact I heard an annoying alarm sound from Semi's phone to notice that I still had my arms wrapped around my boyfriend. He was sleeping so soundly that I couldn't take my eyes off him. I've always seen him as a fierce or irritating person, even when I liked him.

But now that we're in a relationship, I get to see another side of him that I had never expected. It's like I've just unlocked a key that I never thought I could unlock. He's truly amazing and sweet. I placed one of my hands on his cheek, caressed it for a while, and gave him a small peck. I couldn't let go of him since I would wake him up if I took back my arms.

Guess he woke up regardless.
"Mmm~" Semi mumbled, turning around towards me, creating a noise by the rattling of bedsheets.
I might have accidentally woken him up. But it's fine.

I retracted my arms. Semi opened his eyes and immediately took his phone. Is he waiting for a message? From who? Or was he checking the time? But when he looked at his phone, he instantly smiled.
"Happy birthday baby," my boyfriend said as he chuckled and gave me a light kiss.

Birthday? Huh? I don't remember it being my birthday. Wait when's my birthday, again? Oh yea. 4th of May. Wait. 4th of May?!?! It's today..

"It's my birthday?"
"Really? Even I, your boyfriend for only 3 days, remember it's your birthday."
"Oh yeah, it's May 4," I said, taking my phone and checking the date, making sure it really was my birthday and Semi wasn't just teasing me. "I forgot, I kinda never cared about my birthday."

"Why?" he asked, "You should cherish it since it only comes once a year."
"Just like ever other day."
"But it's the day your age changes. Like-"

"Yeah I get what you mean, but it's never really been special. My birthday's just the date I was born but years later. Why does it matter? It's not like I get born again every time it's May 4."
"You have a point. But instead of thinking about it, let's make your birthday special, shall we? I know you want to feel special."

I thought for a while. "What if I don't?"
"We both know you do. I have a short plan for today but I can't guarantee you'll love it." He chuckled.
I looked down to the bedsheets and grabbed it tightly. I don't deserve him, do I?
"What do you want for breakfast?"
"Hm, I'm fine with anything."
"Alright, that's what I thought. My original plan was to wake up extra early and bring you breakfast in bed, but it failed."

"But how would you make sure you would wake up earlier than me?"
"Well, I set up an alarm but it didn't ring."
I giggled. "Stupid, the alarm rang and it woke me up, but it didn't wake you up."

His face widened in the sudden realization. "OH MY GOSH I FORGOT THAT IF I SLEPT WITH YOU, YOU WOULD HEAR THE ALARM TOO OH GOSH I'M SO STUPID I'M SORRY-" Semi said, covering his mouth in surprise.
"Nah, it's alright," I assured him, removing his hand off his mouth.

We finished our breakfast really quick like someone or something important was waiting for us. But really, we weren't thinking of anything, or at least that's what I thought. Semi might be planning something for us.

"Cinema?" He suddenly asked when we were sitting right next to each other on the bed, my head on his shoulder, both of us on our phones.

"Sure," I responded. So it's settled. A date. We're going to the cinema. My birthday. Not that exciting, but I love him and I truly appreciate the effort, so I'll do it. And it's not that bad anyway.

The both of us got ready and Semi drove us to the mall.
"What movie do you want to watch?"
"You decide! It's your birthday."
"I don't know though. You can decide-"
"Really? I'll choose a horror one then-"
"NEVERMIND WE'LL JUST GO WITH THIS ONE!" I shouted immediately, pointing to a movie on the posters, after knowing that my boyfriend would pick a horror movie, of course.
