This chapter does affect the plot.
I had planned to publish this chapter on his birthday but I couldn't finish it on time😭

It was as if you could hear the hands of a clock ticking away while you were sitting straight up on the edge of your bed inside your room in total darkness.
You were fixated on your window and waited while you held something in your hand. It was a paper bag. Though, there was also something bigger wrapped in present paper right next to you on the bed. Unlike the one in your hands, this one's shape was kinda unstable.

Just the other day, you had gone out and walked through the city to search and look at specific things and after some contemplating, you had bought them along with wrapping paper. And after wrapping all the things, you had hidden them under your bed until now.

Truth be told, you were kind of unsure if he were to like your present. But it was too late either way, so you prayed that it would make your boyfriend happy.

A silhouette appeared, blocking the moonlight and throwing a shadow onto the floor. You immediately sprang up and tiptoed to the window, letting Shota inside. The cold wind hit on your skin the moment you opened the window, sending a slight shiver through your whole body.
"Hey" he greeted as he quickly pulled you into a hug which you hugged back. While he did that, he used one arm to close the window, so the cold air would cease coming in.

You then pulled him to your bed and held up the smaller present before his face with a bright smile. Shota appeared surprised when he saw it.
Immediately after showing it to him, you whisper-shouted, "Happy Birthday Shota!" His eyes were slightly widened and even though it was dark, you thought that there was a glimmer in his eyes.

When Shota took the presents, you stood on your toes with your head on your neck and first pecked him on his cheek, then on the lips.
Shota was grinning softly when you pulled away. Then he held up one finger in the air and said, "One more kiss." You flinched slightly. Somehow, now that he was asking for it, you felt embarrassed. Though, you also wanted to do it. "But only one more kiss." you said. Shota's grin got wider when you said that and he immediately leaned in on your face and connected his lips with yours. When he pulled away, you bet that he could see your strongly blushing face.

But you thought to yourself that this wasn't the time to be embarrassed now because it was Shota's birthday after all. And so you urged him to open his present.

A pillow, a ballpen with changeable ink, a black scarf, a pair of black gloves where he could still easily move his fingers since they were thin but still kept his hands warm, and a small hand-made black cat head with a yellow eye and a red eye needle felting keychain.

Those were all the things that showed when he unpacked the presents. Full of excitement, you observed his face for his reaction.

After having looked at his presents for a while, he turned his gaze towards you and before you knew it, he had pulled you into his embrace.
You felt something on your forehead and realized that it was his lips. "Thank you, love." he whispered in such a soft voice that you thought you would melt from it.
You chuckled and mumbled, "I wish we could just sneak out and have a date right now. But it's late and tomorrow is class..." Shota agreed and let out a soft sigh. "But just you thinking of me is enough for me." He then lifted you off the floor and threw you into your bed, cuddling you and using you like a pillow. "It's time to sleep. Good night love."
You couldn't help but chuckle and struggled to turn around to face him. Once done, you stared at his sleeping face. Even though you couldn't see all the details, you could still make out some of his features. Then you gave him one last kiss before following him into dreamland.

~ A Few Days Afterwards ~
~ 3rd POV ~

It was currently lunch break for the students. As for the teachers, most of them had gone to the teacher's office. The same went for Shota as he was now sitting at his desk.

Hizashi suddenly appeared by his side and with a raised eyebrow, he stated, "You sure are using this pen a lot. Is this your favorite? You're even carrying it around you all the time.", as he pointed at the mentioned ball pen in Shota's hand as he was currently writing with it while taking some notes on a notebook.
Shots just replied with a, "You make it sound like I never use a pen to write." He then put away the pen by stuffing it into his pocket. Of course, after making sure to click back the tip of the ball pen point first. Then, he organized the papers on his desk, collected them, and stood up. He had finished his work and therefore wanted to return to the classroom since lunch break was to end any minute now.

Since Shota had been in such a rush, Hizashi had failed to notice the small smile that had crept onto Shota's face for a split second when he had mentioned the pen.
