"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" My mother burst through the door, and I sat up immediately, breathing rapidly. I look at the clock.. it's the middle of the night?! "My baby's growing up so fast!!" She runs up to me and hugs me, but my heart is still racing. What the hell?! I mean--

"Oh! Sorry, I couldn't wait until you woke up.." She giggles, and I smile. I hug her back, but she lets go and tucks me back in bed. "Go back to sleep, I'll be sure to make you breakfast! Oh, and An said happy birthday, too!" She shows me her text with a dancing cat wearing a party hat. I look at my phone, scared. Should I be glad I put it on silent tonight..?

I haven't been this scared since.. Tsukasa surprised me on his own birthday. And Saki's.

He surprised us instead. I had various heart attacks.

-*-*-

When I wake up, I check it, seeing millions of notifications. They're mostly from Tsukasa, Saki, An and.. my mother. Oh my god.. I'll just.. leave it on my desk.

I walk out of the room, and see my mother sleeping on the kitchen counter. Running up to her, I shake her to see if she's awake. Is she okay?!

"Huh..? Oh, good morning, Toya! Happy birthday again!" She smiles, and I see An sleeping on the floor.

..??

When she woke up, she threw me on the floor, hugging me tightly.

"Morning, sleepy head! Oh shoot, I forgot the decor- I mean toilet paper. I forgot the toilet paper at my house." She said with a blank face, running out of the house. Toilet.. paper..? Then there was a knock at the door, and I opened it, seeing Kamishiro, Tsukasa, Azusawa and Honami. Tsukasa!!

He hugged me tightly, and began singing before Kamishiro put his palm over his mouth. Kamishiro has glasses now? Oh, I see Honami and Azusawa are matching. Kind of.

"Happy birthday, Aoyagi! I brought my camera if that's okay!" Azusawa giggled nervously, and I looked at her, unsure. "I-I won't use it for taking pictures of you, I swear!"

"Happy birthday, Toya." Kamishiro pat my head, smiling. I nodded, returning the smile.

"Happy birthday! For your birthday, we're going to make you a home made--" Honami got interrupted by Tsukasa dropping everything on the counter.

"It's a surprise!" My mother whispered, and Honami's face flushed. She began panicking, saying she was just lying and I should go to my room for now.

I listened, confused, but went to my room and closed the door. Maybe I should use this time to brush the cats.

-*-*-

They couldn't put up a fight for some reason, but smudge is always cranky after it. I apologized, and let him sleep on my bed. I had to go get them one of their toys outside, which they didn't notice me. Before I could get it, I thought I could smell smoke, and so I got behind them to check on it. It's almost going to burn.. I can do them a favor and get it out.

I took a glove, opening the oven quietly and took it out. Immediately, smoke and fire was coming out of the oven, my eyes widened as I saw the apple pie begin moving, freezing. What the..

Azusawa and Honami shrieked, turning around, as Tsukasa tried to come and get me. Kamishiro continued recording for Tsukasa, softly chuckling. My mother screamed, grabbing the fire extinguisher, and Tsukasa made me drop the moving pie and pulled me away.

"Are you okay?!" Tsukasa panicked, checking if I was alright. I nodded, confused. Why was it moving?! Azusawa looked at it in horror, and turning to me.

"Uh.. Aoyagi.."

-*-*-

They kicked me out. I sigh, sitting on the steps while staring at the ground. Then I see someone approaching, my head immediately shoots up, and I see Akito. He gives me a friendly smile, tilting his head slightly as he looks down at me.
