I was going to have some fucking bonus art of Ann for y'all but wattpad kept flagging LITERALLY EVERY PHOTO OF HER I PUT UP AND I TRIED 6 DIFFERENT PHOTOS so wattpad can fucking suck it and now y'all not getting any

Daily Question: When is your birthday?

ENJOY!

Setting: Haru's Place

"Oh man, Haru you didn't have to do all of this for me." Ann seemed flustered as she looked at all the sweets set on the large table before the group. Haru knew how much Ann loved sweets, and decided to go all out for her birthday present.

"Please, it's the least I could do. This is all for you!" Haru smiled sweetly at the blonde, Ryuji staring in awe at the giant cake that was Ann's birthday cake.

"Wow, I knew you loved sweets Ann, but this is a lot even for you." He sighed as he looked over at the birthday girl, "At this rate, you're gonna get fat you know."

Ann scowled as she turned to Ryuji, "Stop saying stuff like that! You're so rude to women!"

Akira looked examined the cake that had multiple candle fireworks surrounding the middle piece of chocolate that read Happy Birthday Ann! in white cursive. He was truly amazed that to Haru, this was the equivalent of spending $50. The table was loaded with all kinds of high class delicacies from Japan, all freshly baked by Haru's team.

Yusuke grabbed a chocolate bon bon, only to have his hand hit by Haru who was holding a Sakura fan, "Now Yusuke, are you the birthday girl?"

"No."

"So don't touch until Ann blows out her candles."

Ann stood up and looked at the cake, wondering how this might turn out by blowing the candles. Futaba began to laugh, "She would have better luck blowing out those candles if she had a fire extinguisher."

"Stop it Futaba, this was very erm.. Thoughtful of Haru." Makoto grinned nervously, everyone waiting for Ann to give the okay to start singing. Once she gave a thumbs up, Ryuji quickly started the Happy Birthday song.

The group sang for the birthday girl, Ann smiling widely as she listened to how tone deaf her friends were as they sang. As the song came to an end, she tapped her chin as she thought about she wanted to wish for, looking around at her friends who were staring at her in anticipation.

She grinned, finally deciding on her wish. I wish.. That things will always be the same between The Phantom Thieves.

She blew out the candles, everyone cheering and clapping as the flames went out, Ann feeling pure joy as she watched the sparks go out.

"Alright, let's dig in!" Futaba yelled as she immediately grabbed a brownie off the table and stuffing it down Yusuke's throat. Yusuke coughed as Ann giggled, Ryuji rolling his eyes as he sat back.
