"Happy birthday!"

Amaya ran towards the shorter yet older girl and hugged her tightly. "Now you're almost half fifty!" Amaya said, earning a smack on her arm by Saemi. "I'm only 24!" she said as Amaya laughed.

"I can't wait until it's your birthday, you're almost 23 in two..three weeks!" Saemi pinched Amaya's cheeks. "Okay..? What does your birthday have to do with me?" she glanced at her friend. "I miss when we first met!" Amaya said, earning a look from Saemi.

"Me and Seiko were freshman and you were our beloved sophomore!" Amaya chuckled. "You and Seiko were so..annoying! You guys followed me everywhere!" Saemi said while Amaya gasped at her words. "Wow..did you think that while you were dating him?!"

"Obviously no! I thought it was cute for him, but you?!" Saemi was obviously joking and Amaya could see right through it, laughing as she threw her arm around Saemi's shoulders. "Is Seiko coming?" Saemi asked. "Mhm, he's just getting something first."

"I swear if you guys planned a surprise party for me, i'm breaking up with the both of you."

"We're not even together Emi!"

"I will be friend breaking up with you then."

"So hateful.." Amaya faked a glare to her friend while Saemi was being half serious. "We're not! He really is just getting something first!" Amaya laughed at her facial expressions. They were going to Amaya's apartment because that was where everything was set up. Seiko was actually inside making sure everything was done and ready.

While they were getting out of the elevator, Seiko had texted Amaya saying that he had just finished which made her smile at the perfect timing. "Wait so like be honest, you and you know who aren't dating?" Saemi said, nudging Amaya's arm. "Yes we aren't dating."

"So you two can just post matching pictures and act like I won't notice? Okay.."

"I'm being serious!" Amaya said while opening the door to her apartment, letting Saemi walk in first and following after her. "I still think you two are secretly dating." Saemi glanced back at her before meeting eyes with Seiko who was holding Snow in his arms and Sakusa petting the bunny.

"There's too many s's in the room." Saemi said as Amaya poked her head out, her jaw dropping at the sight of her neighbor sitting next to Seiko. "I want to know why he's here Seiko." Amaya let the words out of her mouth, Sakusa clearly showing an offended expression on his face while Seiko patted his shoulder.

"I saw him and invited him because I wasn't done decorating! I'm sorry!" Seiko said, only looking at Saemi while she laughed. "It's fine, I don't really care. It's pretty!" she ran over to her boyfriend and hugged him as Sakusa caught the soft look on Amaya's face.

He went over to her, smiling at her expression as she turned to him. "I really didn't expect you here, mind making me some of your lemonade?" Amaya joked, making Sakusa laugh while shaking his head. "I might have to start making you pay."

"Too bad we're not dating, I totally would've gotten it for free."

"Too bad I don't like relationships." Sakusa chuckled, staring at her eyes while she rolled them. "I'll make you love me." she said while Seiko and Saemi were in their own world. "I have to get going, i'll text you later. Kay?" Sakusa told her, watching Amaya's face slowly drop.

"Mkay, don't miss me too much." Amaya walked with him to the door as he laughed once more. "I won't." Sakusa said before leaving. She turned around and loudly sighed.

"Now to wait.."

———

"Oh you two definitely have something going on."

It was hours later and Saemi and Seiko were still at Amaya's place. The cake was already gone in five minutes, most of it being aten Saemi. Seiko was laying his head on Saemi's lap while she was holding Snow who was sleeping. Amaya was spread out across her couch while holding her Caprisun in her hands.

"The more you say that the more i'll think it's true Saemi!" Amaya cried out, Saemi laughed at the younger's worry. "Literally the minute you walked in, he saw you first. Tell me he doesn't like you a bit." Seiko said, glancing at his friend as she was burying her head in her pillow.

"He literally told me he doesn't like relationships."

"Maybe something happened with his ex that he feels that way?"

"Maybe."

Amaya looked at her phone and noticed a message pop up, Saemi noticed the corners of Amaya's lips turn upwards and tapping Seiko's shoulder as they both watched her excitedly text whoever it was.

Amaya went up from the couch and to the kitchen, Seiko automatically knew what she was going to get, laughing as Saemi looked at him. "Am I missing something?" she whispered to him as he nodded his head, explaining what Amaya was going to the kitchen for.

Amaya opened the fridge door and gasped at the sight. Even though it was a simple cup of strawberry lemonade, Sakusa wrapped it up in a pastel pink bow. Her favorite color. Which she didn't know he knew. She widely smiled, even the smallest things can make her heart race.

Amaya made her way out of the kitchen to her front door, leaving it slightly open and knocking on his door. Saemi and Seiko both fought to the edge of the couch that reached the front door, both wanting to see what was going to happen.

Sakusa opened the door, not expecting her to actually come to him. "And here I thought you hated me." Amaya said, looking up at him while he shook his head. "I do, you just don't see it." he leaned against the door frame and keeping his gaze on her.

"Because it's not there! Now goodnight!"

"Goodnight Amaya."
