After eating the breakfast Mr. Terushima made, he said he had a place in mind he wanted to show me. I hesitantly agreed, I was still paranoid of what he did when I was in the shower, but if his words were true, he wouldn't hurt me... right?

Once lunchtime rolled around, he said it was time to go. He said he didn't trust me to be walking alone without some kind of supervision. Holding his hand out waiting for me to grab it, he slid the glass back door open.

"Where is this place at?"

"Just wait, it was my favorite place as a kid." He smiled sadly.

There was a strange look in his expression, as if I was looking at something made out of glass, so beautiful but just so fragile. It was hard to tell what it'd take to push him to his breaking point. If he did reach it, would he shatter entirely all at once? Or would he crack, piece by piece, slowly until he could no longer hold back? The idea kind of frightened me.

I let him lead me through the overgrown bushes and trees. We walked past them, Mr. Terushima had a basket in his hand to which I assumed we were to have a picnic or something of the sorts.

A few silent moments passed by, the sky not shining so harshly down upon us.

One thing that really bothered me about Mr. Terushima was that he expects me to act like what he does wrong never happened. Guess I have got to play my part if I don't want to get hurt.

Walking away to a hill near the back, it was quite a bit high up. Reaching the top, he sat down on a nice green area. Watching him, he turned his head up to look at me, patting the ground beside him.

"Come on, take a seat Y/n."

Sitting down, I curled my legs up to my chest, wrapping my arms around them. He smiled, setting down the basket he had brought.

"What are we going to do, Mr. Terushima?" I wondered.

"We're going to have lunch here!" He explained, handing me a plate with a slice of cake.

"Why cake though?" I pondered.

"You haven't celebrated your birthday." He simply replied.

How would he know? My mother neglected me from her attention, saying birthdays were unnecessary.

"You're probably wondering why I'm bothering with this. It's just... I kind of had the same kind of childhood you had growing up." He admitted.

Turning his frame so we were face to face he grinned, lighter in hand he set the candle on my cake aflame. "Happy birthday Y/n!"

I didn't know what this feeling was, was it pity? Sorrow? Loneliness? Years of hard feelings bottled up finally set free?

It was nice to have that weight removed, even if the person who was doing this wasn't as innocent as he appeared to be.

I try not to crack myself, as if years of putting on a hard act was starting to snap, my heart turning softer and weaker. A soft gasp left my lips as I returned a happy smile of my own. Blowing the candle out I made my wish:

'I hope Mr. Terushima receives a happy future, and don't let me fall for his actions... please'

As he smiled, he handed me a fork, he was about to take a bite of his own piece before I stopped him.

"Wait!"

Looking at me in wonder, he lifted an eyebrow, "What is it?"

I silently asked for the lighter, he seemed a bit stiff but handed it over to me.

Taking the candle off my cake, I place it on his slice, turning on the lighter to set the little light.

"I want to wish you a happy birthday too, Mr. Terushima..." I smiled, I knew it was wrong, but I couldn't help but sympathize with him. I might not know his birthday, but I wanted to return the sentiment. I could feel his actions were genuine.

He seemed shocked, eyes wide as his eyes began to glisten at my sudden action. Handing him the lighter back, he smiled, "Thank you, Y/n. I'll truly cherish these memories with you." He said, blowing out his candle.

We had a few more snacks, along with my favorite drink. Just relaxing on the fresh green grass. It smelled nice, like the smell after the rain. Yet I ended up falling asleep, it was comforting and it was the first time I fell asleep so nice where I didn't struggle to let myself sleep.

Even though I wasn't conscious, I felt who I assumed to be Mr. Terushima picking me back up, taking me back inside.

"Sleep well Y/n."
