Ink pov:
I hurried with my work so I could make it home on time. Didn't help people who saw were wishing me happy birthday.

But I did it. I made it on time. Now, just going to hide in my room for the rest of the day.

Ink, I'm here! Toby dang it. Hey Dream, why are you here? To celebrate your birthday. I know you said you didn't want to, but how could I not give you one.

Before I could try to reason with him, he already got the decorations up. I didn't do too many since it's just us.

Thanks, but I really don't think we need all this. How about we- and he's gone.

Dream came back with a rainbow cake and a single present. There, now, are you ready?

Dream, we don't have to do this, how about I do this on my own. Nonsense, you shouldn't be alone on your birthday.

Dream started dragging me to the set up. I started to try to pry him off. Dream, I said no, not right now. But Ink, it's just your birthday, it won't hurt you. Yes it will. We started fighting each other, him trying to get me to it with me refusing.

Ink, what is so bad about your birthday?! It's the day I lost everything!

.......Ink? P-please...just l-leave. I could feel the tears run down my face. I didn't even bother to stop them.

But I felt Dream wrap his arms around me. I just kept crying into him.

I'm sorry...I...I didn't mean for this. We stayed like that for awhile. I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that to you. It's just, my birthday isn't when I was made.

Huh? Dream, my Au was never finished. Nothing there, not even time. One day I snapped and I ended up here.

But...at the cost of my soul and Au. And that day...was this day. I just put my head down.

Ink, I'm so sorry. I just...didn't want you to suffer on your birthday like me. What do you mean?

Well, my birthday was the day the villagers snapped and Night...you know. Oh, but, you still celebrate it?

Why wouldn't I, yes, it was the day I lost my brother. But it was also the day I became free from the villagers and started to meet everyone else.

I froze with Dream's reasoning. He lost everything, yet, he found a reason to celebrate still.

I...I understand I'd you don't want to celebrate. No....your right. I lost everything, but, I had nothing to began.

Besides, I got to meet you from it as well. Heh, well in that case. Congratulations. For finally finding your Au.

We headed over to the set up. This time more excited for it. Hey Dream, thank you. Can we do this next year.

Sure, and maybe we can get the others involved as well? Sounds perfect.
