GuP : Sweet Smiles And Cakes (Male Reader x Marie)

happy birthday?

"he's still not answering...." Marie got more worried as Arthur, haven't been answering or online at all, he always chats with her, ruka and rena since they're all so close with eachother yet arthur has been a little silent for awhile, "I should visit him...." she mutters to herself

"What..? To take care of him?~" ruka said jokingly to marie, she instantly blushed and covered her face in embarrassment, "n-no..." she said.

"I-i just w-want to make s-sure that h-he's doing f-fine! What if... S-something happened to him..?" Marie said while stuttering.

"Well anyways... Happy birthday~" Ruka told marie

"Thanks..." Marie replies

"I shouldn't be telling you this but..."

Ruka whispers to marie's ear and made her eyes widened,
"r-really? That's..." marie instantly got flustered from learning that arthur was making a little birthday party for her, shortly after rena arrives and greets them both.

"Hi everyone~ and oh yeah, happy birthday marie! I got you a gift~"
rena says as she hands marie a small chocolate bar.

"thanks rena!~" marie thanked her.

"Looks like Ruka didn't got you anything" rena chuckled smugly

"Im GONNA get her something, later.."
Ruka said, frustrated at rena

it was just three of then with a couple of mechanics or crews that greeted them as they pass by, a nice sunny day and the wind was is great and in the hangar, it was calm

The sat and chatted with eachother as time passes by, usually arthur woulf be there with the three and chat away too, maybe while eating the salted biscuits of his MREs he usually brings or while doing maintenance on his own tank,

"Dont you feel lonely without him?~" rena randomly muttered

"W-what..?" Marie stutters and blushed

"Everytime we mention him you get flustered for some reasons and you're usually together all the time!" Ruka added, marie fidgets with her fingers and bit her lips, "perhaps..."

"Perhaps yes..."

Ruka and rena giggles as they've discovered that their commander marie, has some little feelings for Arthur, "s-stop okay?" Marie said while blushing, red as an apple.

Then, marie sighs and pulls out a slice of cake out of nowhere,

"(How did she-)"

(W-where did? Wha-)"

Rena and ruka thought to themselves as marie begans to slowly eats the slice of cake, "hmm?~ wants some?" Marie asks the two girls

"No thanks, i have to go..." Rena sighs

"Same here, see you later~" ruka said as she walks out of the hangar,

Marie waved goodbye as she finished her little dessert and sighs, "I should go too, dont worry arthur~" she muttered to herself as she stood up from her seat and left to visit arthur in his dorns

"Im really doing this aren't i~" she shyly smiles to herself as she started to walk away,

"This is gonna be.... Ehm.."

Arthur's POV

Arthur lazily checked his phone to see dozens of notifications on his phone, his face becomes mortified as he saw rhe ammount of missed calls from marie and the others "

"Oh crap... *cough* what do i say to then now? They'll definitely *cough* be mad at me.... But.. should i, *cough* tell them something..?ACHOO!" he said to himself as he
coughed and sneezed,
