Happy Birthday, Nagisa

"Mm." Nagisa's eyes fluttered open to a soft, melodic tone.

His gaze, drunk with sleep, went to his phone that sat on his bedside table. "Hello?" He answered, falling back into his collection of pillows.

"Happy birthday, Nagisa!" Gou's cheery voice resonated out of the phone.

A lazy smile curled at Nagisa's lips. "Thanks, Gou-chan."

"Did I wake you?" She asked, a sizzling sound appearing in the background. "Oh well. You need to be up and about, it is your 21st birthday."

He sat up, rubbing at his bedhead. "Do you have something planned already?"

"What do you mean 'already'?" Her voice had a hint of puzzlement. "I've been planning this party since July."

Nagisa slipped out of bed. "July? How have I not noticed?" He looked at the brightly colored calendar that was posted on his closet door. Yup, it was August first.

"Shush. Get here by five, alright?" She informed him.

He yawned. "At your house? Who's all gonna be there?"

"I'll tell you later. Bye Nagisa!"

"Bye bye, Gou-chan." He clicked the phone off, strolling toward the bathroom to take a shower.

Gou ended the call, scrolling through her contacts to find Makoto. "Gou!" A cheery voice exclaimed from behind her.

She turned halfway, her eyebrows raised. "What is it, Seijuro?" She looked to the disheveled looking man. "Have a nice sleep?"

He ran his fingers through his red hair, planting a kiss on her lips. "Today is the party, right?" He sat down at the kitchen table.

Gou nodded, her thumb hovering over the call button on Makoto's contact. "Yeah, I'm giving everyone a wake up call."

"Who's coming?" He rubbed at one of his golden eyes.

A scheming smile slipped onto her features.

Haru stared blankly at the ceiling of his room. "Is today August first?" He murmured to the lazy form beside him.

Rin's face rested on Haru's collarbone. "Mhm. Gou should be calling any minute. Waking us up." He nodded. "Gou has been stressing over this party and who's going."

"Do you think he's going to make it?" Haru sat up, bringing Rin up with him.

Rin pursed his lips. "If Gou was successful, than yes." His voice was blunt, like he was over it. "I'm taking a shower. I don't want an angry Gou looming over my shoulder if we're late." He paused to wink at Haru. "Want to join me?"

A smile danced over Haru's features as he slid out of bed. "Of course."

Nagisa stared at the wall. My birthday. He truly didn't want to go to a party, but he could already tell that Gou worked hard to make it amazing. But...

He sighed, tangling his fingers in his damp hair. His Crimson eyes scanned the calendar once more. It was August first, even he had forgotten his birthday.

Sighing, he tugged a soft pink shirt over his head. As he rummaged through his drawers, trying to find a nice pair of jeans, he couldn't help but think back to his last birthday.

He was alone on that birthday, everyone had been too consumed with their own lives to celebrate Nagisa's.

Maybe that's why Gou worked so hard this year? He yanked on blue jeans and blue sneakers.

He looked at his phone, a type of sadness lingering in his gaze. "Party time." He said rather blandly.

"I'm here!" Fake happiness coated Nagisa's words as he opened the door to Gou's home. He poked his head around the wall to look in the kitchen.

Confusion tugged at his features when he noticed a small note on top of a birthday cake. "Gou-chan?" He hesitantly walked toward the cake, taking the note off of it.

It read: Look behind you.

Paranoia strangled Nagisa. "W-Wha..." He turned and suddenly everything was better.

Two Years Ago

"What do you mean?" Nagisa stared up at his friend with tear filled eyes.

Rei nibbled on his bottom lip. "I got a job in America." He ran his fingers through his dark blue hair, his lips pressed together.

Distress rained down on the tiny boy as he stared up at the much taller Rei. Why would he leave me? Was the only thought in Nagisa's mind.

"I'm sorry."

Present

Nagisa was trembling despite the warm, happy feeling that was in the pit of his stomach.

Rei strode toward him, a small smile on his face. All Nagisa could do was stare as his old friend grew closer.

Cupping his face, Rei pressed his lips to Nagisa's. "Happy birthday, Nagisa."
