The soft rays of the morning sun penetrated through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room . Macau laid peacefully on the bed, The morning light caressed his face, highlighting the dried up tears on his cheeks and the flutter of his eyelashes as he dream.

As the gentle warmth of the sun caressed his skin, he stirred, his eyelids fluttering open slowly. Rubbing his eyes, he yawned and stretched, feeling stiffness of sleep slowly melting away. 

With a soft groan, he sat up in the bed, blinking against the brightness of the morning light. He ran a hand through his tousled hair .He swung his legs over the side, trying to stand up, but lost his balance, making his fall back on the bed

"Ouch!" Macau groaned in the hoarse voice . He sat back down, holding his heavy head, letting his brain flood back with all the memories of the night. Holding his head in his hand, he stared blankly on the floor

" Shit shit shit shit!!!!! I messed up fuck ,i messed up real bad what the fuck was i thinking" Macau started panicking "Oh! god how can i be this stupid, shit what did i do oh god! please make sure i don't need to face him at least till i calm down please" he said slightly pulling his cheek

"Macau are you up?" A voice came from the other side of the door.

"Yeah" He cleared his voice trying to compose himself "yeah I'm up" he said once again.

The boy turned to see Pete and Vegas entering his room ,a smile playing on their lips. In Pete's hands , he carried a small, beautifully decorated birthday cake, its candles already lit. The boy's eyes widened in surprise and delight at the sight of the cake, his heart filling with joy.

 "Happy birthday, my dear!" Pete exclaimed, placing the cake on the table next to his bed. The boy could hardly contain his excitement as he admired the cake, adorned with colorful frosting and sprinkles .

 Pete  leaned in close and whispered, "Make a wish, and blow out the candles. May all your dreams come true on this special day." The boy closed his eyes, his heart full of hope and anticipation, as he made a silent wish. He then took a deep breath, and blew them in one go. The sound of applause as they clapped and cheered filled in.

"So what did you wish for?" Vegas asked cutting in a small slice for himself

"At least wish him first" Pete slapped his hand making him stop his action , at which Macau chuckled.

"Okayy! you don't need to overreact  happy birthday kiddo" he slightly ruffles his untamed hair "Now can i have a piece" he says looking at Pete , he just stares back

"Thank you! guys this was awesome i totally forgot about this" Macau said in one breath his excitement clearly seen , he smiled genuinely after such a long time.

"Here" Pete cut a piece of cake for Macau.

"It's ok P'Pete you can give this to Hia i haven't brushed my teeth yet" He said smiling 

Vegas took Pete's hand in which he held the piece of the cake lifting it towards his face to eat it , He smirked 

"Oh god! disgusting , right in front of my cake" Macau rolled his eyes.

Pete pulled his hand back, pushing Vegas back with his other hand , his ears turned red at Vegas's actions.

"You're brother needs to learn some manners," Pete side eyed Vegas, who was still smiling. "OH! by the way, who's that lucky guy? " Pete asked out of the blue

"Who?" both of them asked together

"The one who you were trying to woo," Pete said, excited to know what all he had missed in the past days
