27th March, Sunday 7:04am

"Good morning, birthday boy!"

(Y/N) was woken up by a loud, energetic voice, making him hate the world before even opening his eyes. The night had been too long, too many drinks, and waking up had not been on his schedule for another...day or so. But Misa thought differently.

"Morning..." a grumble left (Y/N)'s mouth as he finally turned around to face the woman.

"Aww, look at you, looking just like 15." Misa, who stood next to the bed with a tray of food in her hands, looked down in awe as she saw the still half-asleep man. His hair was a mess, eyes struggling to find a point to fixate on, and his pajamas consisting of some boxers and the next best shirt he found on the floor the last night, which was navy blue with the convers logo on it.

"Now, hush hush, lemme get on the bed," spotting the tray, (Y/N) managed to get the blanket out of the way, allow Misa to sit down with it. And he smiled, brightly. Suddenly being awake at the sight of his favorite breakfast attire and an extra cup of coffee for his slight hangover.

"You are the best," voice still raspy," Remembering everything, ain't cha?" He looked up through some strands of hair, one arm pulling the other in a short hug. "Of course, baby, never would I forget your breakfast order." Misaki let a hand run through the other's hair, making it somehow bearable to see with.

Who needed a boyfriend when you had best friends like that?


9:20am

"Happy birthday, (Y/N)!!"

The man stopped in his tracks as he entered the café through the back door, immediately being greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Uzumaki. "Oh wow," he looked around the shop, spotting the colorful festoons adorning the windows.

"Some little birdy told us that you enjoy celebrating your birthday. We did a bit of work yesterday, hopping you would like it," Mr. Uzumaki put his hand on the smaller's shoulder, his eyes trailing alongside the slight decoration.

A birdy? (Y/N) took a moment to think about it. Dazai was the only possibility, right? Yet, nobody knew, and nobody was supposed to know that they were more than simple server and guest... Perhaps Kai or Misa called? Or perhaps it was still on their mind from reading his resume? Either way! "This is super sweet of you guys," (Y/N) turned to give them each a hug," Thank you very much."


12:56pm

As much as he would have loved the day to stop for a moment, allowing him to read all the 'happy birdthay' messages and checking in with some of his friends and family, (Y/N) did not get a break this Saturday. The café was busy since the moment they opened. And that was not excluding a certain group of detectives. Including a certain young man.

Barely even a minute past 1pm. And the group had settled down in their usual spot. From the coffee machine, (Y/N) had the perfect spot to take in their reactions to the colourful attire, it made him chuckle to see half of them awing, stars almost sparking from their eyes, while the other half was simple raising an eyebrow in question, not used to nor needing such things in their life apparently. And every time a new, it seemed to surprise the younger man as to how Dazai reacted differently in this new life, being part of the first half with wide eyes.

"Hello detectives!" (Y/N) listened in as Mrs. Uzumaki greeted them in a friendly chatter, but soon concentrated on not letting any cups nor glasses fall off the tray when heading to a few tables. When serving the one next to the big group, it was obvious that someone had asked the question which everybody needed to know: Why was the café decorated today?

"It's (Y/N)'s birthday today, we wanted to celebrate it a little," with a friendly gesture the woman turned towards the young man who's attention was caught by mentioning his name. He waved shortly over before lifting another glass off the tray.

"Oh really?" Dazai was the first to speak up, his voice having this usual playful tone to it which made (Y/N) roll his eyes on the inside but in reality, only turn towards him. "Happy birthday." He added in the same tone. Although his eyes seemed to soften in a way which let himself shine through, for only a moment. A moment in which they had locked their eyes. Yet too short to notice from the outside.

"Thank you," (Y/N) said with a slight grin, turning away to get the used dishes in the kitchen. His face showing the tinest of smiles.

Or even a big one.

Ah. That was indeed a tiny birthday gift.
