Soramafu ONESHOTS (#2!!) [COMPLETED]

23. Happy Birthday, My Angel

            Soraru chewed on his bottom lip, deep in thinking. He eyes are trained on the television, his thumbs occasionally typing a slow text on his phone, but he just deleted the text again. "What should I do.." The raven-haired male ruffled his already messy hair, and he groaned again.
               His boyfriend was out with his friends, hanging out, while he sat there, in his house, laptop on his lap, gaming consoles around him, thinking -and failing- about what he should get Mafu. "Mafu.." Soraru closed his eyes, and his brain instantly conjured up an image of the albino with big red eyes.
            Usually he would think of getting a cat, but Mafu is allergic. Maybe headphones? Nah, Mafu had gotten enough of that. He could have make love to the albino as a present, but he doubt that Mafu would like that. He searched for 'ideal presents for lovers' on his laptop, but he couldn't find anything.
            Wait a minute. He eyed the magazine that the albino had brought back yesterday, staring that he loved everything in it. Snatching it up, he flipped through the pages and found something that he thinks Mafu would like. He picked up his phone and called Lon.
             "Soraru-san?" He heard the familiar high-pitched utaite and smiled. "Ah, Lon? I need your help." "Ah yes, everything is fine, since I'm free right now!" He then proceeded to tell Lon the meeting place.

*°*

           "Ah, Soraru-san!" The blonde waved her hands happily and Soraru laughed. "Lon." "So, what's the occasion?" "Mafu." "Mafumafu-san's.....birthday?" "Hearing the dreaded word, Soraru let out a sigh and nodded. "I don't know what to get him..." "How about a ring?" "No!" Soraru turned red. "Why not?" "It feels like a proposal.." Soraru facepalmed, as he watched the realization sink in Lon's brain and she blushed as well.
            "Well, then, a necklace? Since your anniversary is tomorrow too, right?" She asked. Soraru's eyes widened. "Oh right! I forgot about that..." He grinned sheepishly at Lon as she shook her head at him. "This is why..." she sighed. "This is why you need someone to remind you." "What should I do?" "Get flowers." "Flowers..?" "It's your anniversary, right? Get flowers, it's the most cliche thing you will ever see." "I don't really want cliche.." Soraru grimaced.
            "Then, balloons? You know..." she leaned in and whispered into Soraru's ears. When he heard her suggestion, he smiled. "Yeah, that would work." They proceeded to go find for the 'present' they planned to buy.

Meanwhile....

           
               "Hey, Mafu, isn't that Soraru and Lon?" Amatsuki asked the albino, and instantly, Mafu turned his head towards the direction the brunette is pointing at. Sure enough, the raven-haired is seen with the blonde, talking animatedly and happily. Mafu frowned. He had not heard that Soraru is going to go out today with Lon. To be honest, he was a little sad since Soraru had not told him about this.
               But he just shrugged and grinned at his friends. "Yeah, maybe they are just hanging out!" Amatsuki did not look convinced, but nodded anyway. "Okay."

               At night, when Mafu is getting ready to go to bed, he recieved a phone call from his boyfriend. "Hello?!" He chirped happily. "Mafu. I am not coming home today." "EHH? But why?!!" "I'm just not coming home today. So go and get ready for bed. I won't be back till tomorrow." Mafu bit his lip in confusion. "But- " "No buts, Mafu. I have to go. See you tomorrow. Love you." He hung up and Mafu whined a little, tears forming in his eyes.
             

            After Soraru hung up, he felt extra bad but clenched his teeth. In order to finish his task, he had to do this. He stared at the balloons that he had inflated, then at the bunch of paper he still have to write, and finally at the origami he is currently working on, and let out a tired sigh.
           Whatever. If it's for Mafu.... He sighed again and rubbed his aching fingers. I have to do whatever it takes to make him happy. He continued to fold the origami, his eyes focused on the paper in order to not ruin it.
              When he decided to take a break, it was already late at night. He took out his phone to check his social media, only to see that it was just midnight, 12 am on the dot. Even though he wasn't with Mafu... He sighed and typed out a birthday wish to Mafu. After tweeting that, he checked again and saw that Mafu was having a twitcast. He can't sleep? Hmm...
           He frowned but decided not to push the matter, exiting Twitter and typing out a message reminding Mafu to sleep earlier.
