     December 31st. It's the end of the year. For four years Nagito and Izuru have been friends. Four years had passed already, well technically three, the boys are now teenagers. Isn't being a teenager exciting?

      No, no it's not. Puberty exists and it sucks, mainly for Nagito since he goes through both. Izuru has been more busy, which isn't surprising. Him being busy just leaves Nagito lonely for the most part.

      Sure he has more friends now, but he just feels like a burden to them. He's not, a part of him knows that but he can't help but to think otherwise. Not having your bestfriend around is very hard to deal with, it always feels like he doesn't have any other friends.

     Unlike Izuru who truly only had Nagito and his brother. Tomorrow is his and his brother's birthday, he couldn't celebrate it, he has work to do. Though Nagito is not letting him work on his birthday and he will stand by that. No one should be working on their birthday. 

💚🍀💚

      "Knock, knock". "Sugar". "Izzy or should I say Izuru?". He instantly looks up at his best friend who is scowling at him, "What did I do?". "You seriously plan on working on your own birthday?" Nagito asks, disappointed.

      "I have to get this done". "It's your fucking birthday!". "It hasn't hurt midnight yet so no it's not" Izuru tells him. Nagito walks over to him and snatches all of the papers off the desk. Izuru glares at him, "What the fuck?!".

       "You're not working". "Sugar give me the papers". "No". Izuru glares more intensely, "Give them back brat". Nagito smirks and backs up near the balcony, "Come and catch me before I burn them". Izuru chuckles darkly, "You're going to regret bothering me". He quickly lunges at him and Nagito jumps off the balcony, landing softly.

     Izuru can still see him smirking from down below and he snarls at him. He then proceeds to jump off the balcony as well, Nagito instanely running away as he's jumping. If you listen closely you can hear a bunny giggling. Izuru was not expecting a workout at this time of night.

💚🍀💚

       Nagito quickly runs inside their treehouse, slamming the door on Izuru's face. Ouch, I know that hurts. Izuru quickly opens the door, grabbing Nagito's wrists and pinning him down. "Sugar, I'm being nice. Give me the papers back". "Pfft no way, it's close to midnight and you have to spend that time with me".

       Izuru scoffs, "Such a selfish thing to say". "I'm selfish for wanting to spend time with my best friend?! Have you gone back to your old ways of being cold?". "You're pushing my buttons". "Somebody has too so you can stay on earth". Izuru scowls as Nagito's face was smug as ever.

      "You're doing a terrible job then". "Please, I do my job correctly. You're out of your cage for one". "My room isn't a cage". "Might as well be". Izuru glares at him, "You're pissing me off". "Really? Kind of hard to tell with your stone cold face" Nagito replies sarcastically. Izuru doesn't respond.

     "Aha. You're silent now", Nagito caresses Izuru's cheek, "Will you hangout with me then?". "I hate you". "I'm taking that as a yes". Izuru sighs and let's him go, standing up. Nagito giggles, sitting up, "I told you that you couldn't resist me". "Shut up before I cut your tongue".

      "Oooo, you're threatening me Izzy? That's so mean". "What time is it?". "11:48". Izuru groans, "You're such a spoiled bunny". "Oi! I didn't do anything". "Get off the damn floor and fix me something to eat". Nagito scoffs, "I am not your maid". "You dragged me here, fix me some food".

    "Keep up with that attitude and you won't get anything for your birthday". Izuru frowns, "That's not-". "Hmm?". He pouts, "You can't do that". "You're acting like a spoiled brat, sit down and behave. I'll be back". "Wait, where are you going?". "I'll be back just sit at the bar". Izuru pouts even more, making Nagito chuckle.

      "I'm just going up stairs alright? Did you take your pills Izzy?". ".....No". "Those are supposed to help". "I was going to take them but I assumed you were coming and I was right". Nagito sighed, "For someone who's always busy but still wants me around, how the hell did you get separation anxiety?".

      "I got used to you being near me and you're the only person I really talk to". "You should hang out with your brother more", Nagito suggests. "I know". "Now, I will be back but I won't be gone for long alright?". Izuru nods, "A verbal response please". "I got it". "Good now behave or no cake and you only can open one present". "Whatever". "Should I take the cake away?". "No! I got it".

Nagito smiles, "Good".

🖤🥀🖤

       Though it hadn't been that long, it felt like an eternity for Izuru. He knows Nagito is only upstairs and that it's been five minutes, well he didn't know five minutes had passed. Having separation anxiety sucks, he felt needy and incapable of doing things.

       After spending Christmas with Nagito, he then realized he had separation anxiety the day after. What a horrible experience that was. His body was trembling that whole day and he even almost cried! The great Izuru Kamukura does not cry or he won't let you.

      "Izzy? Izzy I'm back". The boy jumped a little at the voice, he looked down where Nagito was squatting. "You're shaking again, come with me" Nagito tells him, extending his hand out. Izuru takes his hand and follows the fluffy boy.

      "What were you doing?", "Running you a bath, you stink". "Wow, insulting me after almost having a breakdown?". Nagito rolls his eyes, "It's not an insult if it's true". "Still hurts my feelings". "I'm looking out for you just like how you tell me to take care of myself you need to do the same" Nagito scolds lightly.

      "I try but I get caught up in work and I also have a distraction". "That's why you need to take more- wait are you calling me a distraction?!". Izuru chuckles, "Yes, yes I am". "Too bad you're a teenager you're supposed to be enjoying life not working". "I'm royalty, I don't get that luxury". "Not if you get kidnapped".

    "Sugar no". "How will they ever know?". Izuru laughs, "I appreciate the thought but don't kidnap me". "I can give all the love you deserve and feed you all the kusamochi you'd like!". "This is a very tempting offer". "Don't worry I already kidnapped you" Nagito states, smiling. "Wait wut",

    Nagito does an evil laugh, or tries before coughing, "I have kidnapped my best friend!". Izuru's eyes sparked? He looks sort of excited, "This is kind of a boring way to get kidnapped but it's by my favorite person so I'll take it". "Favorite person? And you're not supposed to be happy, get your butt in the nice bubble bath I made for you".

    "You didn't say it was a bubble bath", Izuru mumbled. "Go on, I'll bring you some clothes and be waiting down stairs". Izuru grabs his wrists and looks down, "Just down stairs right?". Nagito nods, "I'll be down stairs the whole time ok?". Silence. "Izzy?". "I got it, just down stairs". Nagito smiles and kisses him on the cheek, "The faster you get done the faster you can see me and hang out". He nods and enters the bathroom. 

🖤🥀🖤

     Izuru slowly walks down the stairs, rubbing his eyes sleepily. "Surprise! Happy Birthday and New Year!" Nagito yells with a bright smile, holding what can be assumed is Izuru's cake. "Happy New Year Sugar". Nagito puts down the cake and drags Izuru over, "Are you sleepy?". He nods, leaning on Nagito.

     "Aww, I had things planned for today but I can always change them". Izuru hums as a response. "I'll just baby you the whole time". "Nooo, I'm not a baby". "Shush, I'm taking care of you today! No complaints either". Izuru whines at that, "Go sit on the couch for me and I shall bring you cake so you can sleep".

     Izuru nods and complies to the order as he is sleepy. Nagito giggles and cuts a slice of cake for his best friend. Though he may not get another chance to hangout any soon but at least he could celebrate today.
