30-day OTP challenge: NaguSuzu

#11: Drawing each other

Midorikawa shifted as he heard a sharp bzzz. Stirring in bed, he cracked his eyes open, to see his phone lighting up beside his bed. Reaching out as quietly as possible as to not disturb his boyfriend who was fast asleep while spooning him, the greenette clicked on the answer button.

"Hello?"

"Midorikawa? Oh my god. You won't believe just what I did. I can hardly believe it myself! I honestly have no idea how it even happened!" A rapid-fire of jumbled words made Midorikawa even more confused. "I forgot! I forgot when even you guys remembered! Oh god, how could I be so dumb?"

"What... wait, wait a second..." Midorikawa sat up on the bed, rubbing his eyes in the hopes of clearing his groggy mind a little. "What happened? Who's this?"

"Who's what? It's me! Nagumo!" The voice hissed rather angrily. Midorikawa grumbled:

"My apologies your Highness, for not being awake enough to attend to your business at 6 AM! What do you want?"

A long sigh could be heard.

"You know what yesterday was?"

"Uh... May 8th?" The greenette guessed.

"Yes! No! Ughh..." Nagumo seemed to be in great agony. "It was Suzuno's birthday!"

"Oh yeah." The memories resurfaced in Midorikawa's brain. "What about it?"

"I forgot!" Nagumo was borderline shrieking. "Mids, I f*cking forgot. I didn't get him anything! Not even a happy birthday text, nothing! I was just so busy, and I didn't set a reminder or anything either... it just completely slipped my mind!"

Midorikawa felt a shift on his side, and Hiroto let out a low moan as he wrapped his sleepy arms around the greenette's waist, obviously trying to get his source of warmth to lie back down. Ruffling the redhead's hair, Midorikawa replied:

"Well... that sucks..."

"'Sucks'? No... It's more than that! It's a disaster! A catastrophe! How could I have possibly forgotten my boyfriend's birthday? He must think I'm horrible now... What if he doesn't let me sleep with him anymore? What if he doesn't want to see my face again? What if he breaks up with me?"

"Wow, hey, Nagumo. Calm down." Midorikawa cut his friend off. "I think you're overreacting. Suzuno's not that kind of person. He's not gonna hate you just because you didn't give him a birthday present."

"But he surely thinks I'm an ignorant, careless, cold-hearted asshole now!"

"No, he doesn't!" Midorikawa hissed. "Relax!"

"But..."

"If you're so worried, why don't you just ask him?"

"Are you kidding? I can't! I just... can't!"

"Well then your next best option is to listen to me." Midorikawa ordered. "You want to atone for your mistakes, right? Why don't you just give him a late birthday present?"

"Like what?" Nagumo said desperately. Midorikawa bit his lip, before a tired voice rose beside him:

"Doesn't Suzuno like popsicles?"

The greenette bent down to place a soft kiss on his boyfriend's head, while talking into the phone:

"Hey, why don't you get him some popsicles?"

"What kind of loser gives his boyfriend popsicles for his birthday?" Nagumo groaned, before seemingly perking up. "Oh, how about an ice-cream cake? That's both cold and birthday-related, right?"
