I stared dejectedly at my wrapped present for Ranmaru, feeling a little frustrated at myself for not getting something better for my boyfriend. Tomorrow is his birthday and I went out shopping for his present the other day. I looked in every rock-‘n-roll novelty store and finally settled on a spiked wrist cuff… Which I’m sure Ranmaru has dozens of by now. I had gone home yesterday feeling discontent about my gift.

            And now I was worrying about how to give it to him, since this also counts as our anniversary present. It was tomorrow, too, and I’m so anxious. My mind kept wrapping and unwrapping itself around ways on how to give Ranmaru my present.

            The phone suddenly rang and I jumped, the shrill ring tone of the phone cutting me loose from my thoughts. I glanced at it, thinking that if it was Ranmaru I wouldn’t know what to say. I would be so nervous that I’d spill out all of my half-thought up plans to him.

            I picked up the phone anyway and accepted the call.

            “Hello?” I said.

            “Hey, ____-chan!” Reiji’s voice boomed from the other line.

            “Rei-chan! What is it?” I asked, trying to find out if my eardrum was still intact; yeah, that’s how loud he yelled.

            “Ran-Ran told me to call you.” I froze. “He said he wanted to--!”

            “You idiot!”  I heard from the background. “I told you not to tell her that it was me who wanted you to call her!” I was pretty sure that was Ranmaru’s voice. But why did he want Reiji to call me? Could it be about tomorrow?

            “Hey, Reiji?” I called.

            “Yeah?”

            “Can you give Ranmaru the phone, please?” Man, I was so nervous my palms were sweating.

            “Oh, sure!” I heard some shuffling from the other line and heard Reiji tell Ranmaru, “You two lovebirds talk this out” and a “Shut the hell up” from Ranmaru. I couldn’t help myself from smiling at their silliness.

            “____? You there?” Ranmaru’s voice called. My face flushed immediately from hearing his voice.

            “Y-Yeah, I’m here.” God, why did I stutter? Even though we’ve been dating for a year tomorrow, I still couldn’t get used to him saying my name with that tone—sweet and yet rough against my ears.

            “So what did you want to talk about?”

            “It-… It’s about tomorrow.” I felt my face heat up.

            “O-Oh. That. Huh. So it’ll be a year tomorrow, huh?”

            “Yup. Look, I wanted to ask you about the plan for tomorrow night. I was thinking we could just stay at yours or my place, have dinner, and/or watch a movie. Or play Guitar Hero if you want.” I smiled at the last part.

            Ranmaru was quiet at the other end. I wondered if he was thinking of declining the quiet night home to go out and have a night in the town.

            “Sounds like a plan,” he suddenly announced; I jumped again.

            “Really? So whose place?”
