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.
