July 15.
Today didn't seem all that special. Ichigo woke up and did his regular routine. Then he opened and cleaned up the clinic for work. He stared at the black glasses on his desk for a few minutes before putting it on. He did need it to look at those really tiny words that some people used to write their files for diagnostics. He quietly played with his hair as he absentmindedly sipped his coffee. He was still trying to remember what was supposed to happen today. His eyes widened once he heard the doorbell chime.
He wasn't expecting anyone today and it was a bit of a pain trying to figure out what exactly was happening today. He couldn't remember until he opened the front door and met the gazes of his friends.
"Happy birthday, Ichigo!..." Chad, Renji, Mizuiro and Keigo chorused. Apparently Uryu was silently adjusting his glasses behind the tall dark skinned man.
Oh!.... that's what today was about....
I can't believe I forgot....
He forgot his own birthday. If anything, the only birthdays that came to mind were Orihime's in September and that of his sisters. He barely ever celebrated his birthday since he'd travelled so it was a bit new to him, seeing his friends huddled up on his porch. He let them in and they politely took off their shoes. He hadn't told any of them that he and Orihime were dating yet. He didn't know how to actually. It was a new experience for him. Finally being with the one he loved.
Chad wasn't even supposed to be back untill August and Uryu was well... Uryu and Keigo said something about having a month long event in July so he wondered how exactly they got here. He was flattered that they all came to wish him a happy birthday but he didn't have any plans for the day. Renji had a wedding to plan for fuck's sake.
"That's it!... we're going out!... we could finally get ourselves some dates!" Keigo pumped his fist in the air and Renji cleared his throat.
"Eh... hemm...I'm getting married in October...." Keigo still tried to salvage the situation,
"Then we'll get the birthday boy a girlfriend!..." the brunette yelled. Ichigo shook his head. It was time to let the cat out of the bag,
"Actually... I have a girlfriend..." everyone blanched once what he'd said registered.
"You what?!!!" They each chorused in clear surprise. Ichigo sighed and explained that he and Orihime were going out now and he didn't need them creeping her out. Keigo had comically fainted due to his plan going sideways and Mizuiro didn't make an effort to catch him at all. Ichigo was surprised when Renji suddenly said,
