When Maekawa awoke on September 20th, she did the same routine but a little quicker than usual.

At around eight, Maekawa left her house and rushed across the street to the house that belonged to her crush. Lifting an arm, she grabbed the handle and opened it up, entering quietly.

Kyouya was at on the couch with a cup of coffee in his hands. His dark yellow eyes flickered to Maekawa who showed him the small box she held in her hands. "Morning, Chinatsu. He's still asleep."

Keeping quiet, she tip-toed up the stairs and slowly crept into Bokuto's room. He was fast asleep with his blankets barely covering his body. His arm hung off the side of the bed as he laid on his back, sleeping peacefully.

Bending down beside his bed, she giggled as he shifted slightly. Reaching out, she booped his nose gently before retracting her hand.

A small gust of wind blew in open window behind Maekawa, making her hair slightly blow.

Bokuto's body shifted slightly, recognizing the familiar apricot scent that filled his nose. Peeling his eyes open halfway, he blinked tiredly at Maekawa who smiled sheepishly.

"Mae," Bokuto sleepily snaked his hands around her neck, using minimal strength to pull her into his chest, cuddling her softly. Her eyes went wide as she laid flush against his body, slightly stuck in an uncomfortable position. W-What the heck is going on?!?

"Bokuto? What're you doing?" Maekawa asked reluctantly, feeling Bokuto's grip on her loosen as his eyes opened up wider.

As if he only realized what he did now, he let go of her and sat up from his spot. Maekawa slid off the bed, dropping on her knees on the floor with a small 'ouch.'

"Sorry, are you okay?" Bokuto asked worriedly, reaching out for her hand to pull her off the floor. Once Maekawa was sat on the bed, he ran a hand through his messy hair and chuckled sheepishly. "I thought that was dream. Sorry about that."

Dream? Her heart jumped at his words, wondering what that meant. He dreams about me?

"It's okay! Anyway," She places the box in his hands, grinning brightly at the male who lit up at the sight of it. "Happy birthday, Bokuto!"

Bokuto accepted the small cake that was in the box, staring at the cute little dessert. It had words written on it in frosting with a little smiley face on the bottom.

Today was September 20th, Bokuto's birthday. Today was the day that he was turning 18. Maekawa wouldn't be far behind him since her birthday was ironically September 21st.

Usually, the group would spend the birthday together since it was both Bokuto and Maekawa's birthday right after another, but this year was different.

Akaashi was forced to miss out on this celebration since a family member of his had gotten ill, and he was forced to fly out and visit them. Bokuto and Maekawa understood since it was family matters.

After many, many, many, many months of planning, Kyouya and Hikari were finally set to go out for drinks. Both of them were looking forward to the little drinking date that they hadn't realized that it was their sibling's birthday that day.
