My Best Friend is a Hitman

Special Chapter: Happy Birthday, Reborn!

It's almost Reborn's birthday!

How do I know you say? I was rudely awakened this morning by a phone call from *cough* 'Reborn' *cough*.

His reasoning was and I quote, "Chaos, Aiko. You probably didn't know about my birthday on October 13th but now that you do, I expect an amazing present."~Reborn

Urgh... That espresso-addict! He just makes me want to... Graah!

Sigh... I guess I have no choice now...

I reluctantly get up from my position on my bed and grab my purse on my way out of the apartment.

Really what does he expect me to get on such short notice.

Espresso coffee beans? No, he probably has tons of those.

A new fedora? Hmm... To expensive and he probably has a lot of those too.

Maybe something for his chameleon. What was it's name again? Leon? Yeah, Leon! Maybe a food bowl...? Oh right, this is Reborn's birthday...

Ugh! This is so difficult! Why did he have to tell me now!?

After stopping to think at a bench, I was struck with a brilliant idea!

I knew exactly what to get Reborn!

Later at Reborn's birthday party...

I arrived at Reborn's place, only to see it packed to the brim with people I've never met before.

After managing to get through his front door, I was grabbed by the man of the hour, himself. "Urk! Buon compleanno, Reborn."

Reborn was wearing a white dress shirt, black pants and 'no' fedora giving him a casual but sexy look. Not to mention Leon wrapped around his shoulder, he made quite an impression.

He looked pleased with my presence which is saying something. Especially, when I've pretty much only seen his amused face for the time that I've known him.

He smirked while looking me up and down. "Grazie. You sure know how to dress up nicely, Aiko. If I didn't know any better I'd believe you were my present."

I was wearing a black dress with gold trim complete with black heels and a golden bow to tie up my hair. The golden bow apparently giving off the present look. "Not to bad yourself, Reborn. And of course I'm not your present that would defeat the purpose of me getting you a gift in the first place."

Saying that I push my gift into his hands.

He looks down startled by my sudden action. "Oh, should I open this now?"

Huffing a bit, I tell him,"Go ahead."

He proceeded with dragging me past the other party guests into his bedroom for some privacy from any inquiring eyes.

Putting Leon on his bedstand for safe keeping, Reborn rips open the wrapping paper with deft fingers and carefully opens the box.

He looks shocked and the next thing I know I'm being hugged into a solid chest.

Voice a little muffled from the position our heads were in, he said,"Thank you, Aiko. I'll treasure it always."

"Your welcome, Reborn. I'm glad you like it."

We stayed like that for a long time.
