Originally, the entirety of the birthday was going to be in this one chapter, but I get nervous when chapters are too long and I might lose them. I also kinda promised to some readers on AO3 and on wattpad that the chapter would be out tomorrow and I'm no where near done because I only started today so it's not finished.I have decided to split the chapter, but the second half (the main drama) will be out by the weekend. I really struggled with writers block and I felt like if I kept going it would not have the same effect.This was 2222, my chapters are usually only 1000 soo, it was getting too long for me.

He fumbled with his keys, despite the Summer morning heat he was shivering due to the lack of meat on his bones. He finally got the right key to the door and pushed it in, only to find that the door was already unlocked. He cursed silently for one, going through all the trouble for nothing, and two, someone potentially could have broken into his beloved bakery. He turned around even though he knew Chifuyu had already driven off, well he had no one to accompany him into his potentially robbed bakery.

"Good morning Takemichi!" Takemichi jumped in his spot, slowly turning around to see Ran and Rindou standing behind him.

"Ah-a morning, both of you."

"Why are you just standing there? Did you forget your key or something?" Ran asked, peering down at him.

"No, I'm just a bit worried. The door was already unlocked when I got here so..." He trailed off, hoping they got his message.

"Well stand back and wait out here Takemichi, we will go in and check it out," Rindou assured. Yep, it was successful.

"Thank you so much." He didn't really want to get murdered on his birthday. And Ran and Rindou, they could most definitely defend themselves, right? Yeah.

He stood awkwardly at the front door and decided to check his messages, countless birthday wishes that would usually make him feel all warm inside but rather an overwhelming sense of guilt sent involuntary shivers down his spine.
