As familiar hands covered my eyes

I was being led somewhere

I didn't know where

And to be honest

That was a little worrying.

But

I guess sometimes surprises are nice.

"We're here!"

As the soft hands

Uncovered my eyes

An extravagant garden

Stood before me.

"What... is this?"

"It's for your birthday dear! I know you probably don't remember, but I surely do"

Oh

Right

It's my birthday.

Nobody else remembered it.

Not my family

Not even me.

But he did.

Just like he remembered everything.

I always wondered why

But I guess I shouldn't ponder

On such silly thoughts.

"Why... did you prepare this?"

"I just told you, because it's your birthday! It's my gift~"

Gift?

Why would he make me a gift?

Is that normal?

It's just my birthday.

-

What am I supposed to say?

Thank you?

Return the favor?

Am I in debt now?

Do I owe hi-

"Dear, what's wrong?"

"I just don't get why you did this"

"Because, friends give each other birthday gifts!"

"We are not friends."

"Well, I still care about you"

Silence.
