I woke up, sadly. My eyelids still feel heavy and my hair feels like a mess.
"Happy birthday Makoto-chan," my mother said, sounding drowsily, "here. Spend it with your friends." She placed 5,000 yen, maybe?
"Thanks," I smile slightly, it's not fun when your mom is sleeping or drunk half of the time. Maybe if she didn't get married or have kids, she wouldn't end up like this.
I swing open the door, it seemed it was raining and now it's really sunny. On my way to school, I see the first year hall monitor.
Agh.. I'm really tired, I don't wanna talk to-
"Fukuda-senpai?" a masculine voice chimes behind me that made me jump. "Oh, Akito-kun" I sigh in relief, "You startled me."
"U-um," he stammers, fiddling with the opening of his bag. I smile, waiting for him to say something.
"..Here" he avoids my eyes and passes a small bag with a card, "Happy birthday."
I smile softly at him and say, "Thanks Akito-kun." then pat his ginger (😈) hair.

I sit down and slouch in my chair, though it's not comfortable at all. "Class rep!" a voice yells.
The class gathers around my desk and places a big gift on my desk, "Open it later at home!" one says. I smile at them softly, "Alright then."
The morning goes by swiftly, a few hellos and happy birthdays come but it feels like a normal day.
Rui didn't give me a gift, I didn't really expect him to give me one. Kinda.
I got to meet Akito's friend Toya Aoyagi. He seems very prestigious to me but he's very kind!
At the end of the day, I open my phone to see a text message from Emu saying happy birthday and a lot of wonderhoys. I don't really understand it but it's cute.
Before I leave, Rui taps my shoulder. I jump in shock, "Is it your thing to talk to me right before I leave?" I yelled at him. I cover my mouth quickly, "Uh, sorry-"
"Fufu, it's okay." Rui chuckles, he passes me a wrapped box. "You can open it now."
I unwrap it to reveal, a wooden box with a heart in the middle?.. I open the top of it, it has a sort of screen.
It looks impressive though I'm not sure how to work it, but it looks cool.
Rui giggles, "You look confused." I look at him, "I am."
"You'll see." he say, smiling brightly.

At home, I didn't get a cake or hear the song happy birthday from anyone. I heard bottles clanking and alcohol filling the air but nothing.
I didn't expect anything from her anyways. I don't need anything from her anyways.
The box sits in the corner of my desk, laying and basking in the dark while I study and finish my homework.
Suddenly the heart on the front of the box shakes, I open the top to see a message.
"Happy birthday, Makoto-chan :)" it says.
I smile stupidly, "It's cute.." I mumble quietly. Grinning ear to ear, not being able to focus on my work.
"Such a weirdo.." I giggle quietly and fiddle with my pen, swinging my feet.

I had such a struggle for some reason finding out wtf this was called for some reason. It's called a "Lovebox" and it looks like this.
