Yeah. Is it okay if I come over now?

[It's officially one minute to midnight, and before waiting for a response, Sougo hurriedly finishes up the last of his preparations - lighting the candles on the cake he carefully picks up - and moves to stand in front of Tamaki's door. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

And right as midnight hits, he knocks modestly and speaks up in a voice that's just a hint more nervous than he anticipated.]


Tamaki-kun? It's me. Would you mind... [Too formal. This is Tamaki, after all.] Could you open the door?

[Admittedly, working to prepare all of this behind Tamaki's back had been more than a mild challenge, especially when both of them had been home for these last few hours.

Sougo had been sure to bake the cake when he knew Tamaki was away, texting him to check that he wouldn't be home anytime soon. And really, thank goodness that he still has several of Mitsuki's recipes on his phone from home... and that he didn't try to draw anything more than words on the cake, which actually turned out quite beautiful for being homemade by someone who isn't partial to sweets. The decorations may not be extravagant, but in true Sougo fashion, they're all set up perfectly - he'd at least managed to spangle the living room with light blue streamers and balloons while he was sure Tamaki was busy playing games. The song, however...

No, that can wait. Tamaki's bewildered expression is exactly what he was hoping for, and with a modest laugh, Sougo can't help but smile fondly as he holds up the cake.]


Happy birthday, Tamaki-kun. I... wanted to be the first one to tell you.

I would hope so. It's only a few seconds after midnight, after all.

[If someone else had managed to beat him to the punch, he'd be awfully surprised. And really... For all of their communication troubles, Sougo feels that he's finally gotten a clear enough read on Tamaki to pick up on his excitement through his eyes alone.]

Does it look alright? I thought it would mean more if it was homemade. [He's certainly no Mitsuki, but cooking is one of the few things he has a bit of confidence in!] I tried my best to make it look as perfect as I could. I wasn't sure how to incorporate pudding, but if shortcake is okay...

Of course. And whenever you're ready!

[Candle wax melting all over the cake he worked so hard on is decidedly unappealing, but rushing Tamaki to think of a wish isn't ideal either... They can go to the kitchen afterwards, so it's probably best to blow the candles out right here. Which means...

Hold on, give him just a moment to take a deep breath and sing with a little less modesty then he's been displaying up until now. Tamaki deserves it.]


Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you~ ♪

[Oh no... Oh no. All of the signs may have pointed to this happening, but it still manages to catch Sougo surprisingly off guard - though it's only clear from his suddenly panicked expression as he reaches out to hurriedly take the cake, singing smoothly up until the last note.

As much as he'd like to reach up and brush those sudden tears away, there's nowhere to set the cake down, so he simply holds it up to allow Tamaki to blow the candles out.]

[How very like Tamaki to wish for pudding... Sougo is hard-pressed to mention that saying his wish out loud means that it won't come true (not to mention that receiving a lifetime supply at once would present an endless list of problems. But then Tamaki continues on, blindingly sincere as always, and Sougo's expression softens considerably.]

Well, I can only grant one of those wishes... But it's easy to do. I forgive you.

[Spelling it out clearly is the best way to ensure that his words aren't misconstrued!]

It's your birthday, so isn't it fine to wish for something a little more selfish? But hurry - blow out the candles before they burn out on their own.

[Just as always, the first of the month brings Sanguis along with it, so the fluffy ears poking out from Tamaki's hair don't come as a surprise. Sougo's awfully tempted to reach up and brush his hair down - it's sticking up everywhere, but since he's holding the cake, he couldn't even if he wanted to.

Now that the candles are out, he turns to lead them to the kitchen, setting the cake down on the kitchen table alongside the plates, silverware, and glasses that he'd placed there earlier.]


Of course not. I wouldn't put spice in a cake for you.

[But the fact that he's cutting and serving two slices makes it clear that he's going to eat some too... even if Tamaki's slice is much larger.]

I tasted it along the way, but be honest and tell me what you think. I followed the recipe to the letter, but I haven't made a cake like this before.

[personal profile] koboreta 2020-04-01 12:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I did what I could. I was worried that you'd come out of your room and spoil the surprise.

[Sougo may not thrive on praise the same way that Tamaki does, but hearing Tamaki's opinion truly is vital to him. It's hard to not take compliments to heart when the person giving them doesn't know how to be anything but completely and utterly genuine.

Also, he's going to let Tamaki off the hook with his manners... At least for today.]


Fufu. I'm glad to hear it. The strawberries are delicious, aren't they? I made it pretty sweet, so I may not be able to finish my entire slice, but you can have as much as you want.

[personal profile] koboreta 2020-04-01 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I tried to keep to myself so you wouldn't suspect anything...

[Maybe, just maybe, he's been a little more busy this month working on a certain present for a certain someone. It's probably best not to get into it, though... Anything that could create tension is better off avoided when they're supposed to be celebrating.

But just as he glances down to take a forkful of cake, Tamaki's hand settles on his head, and a fond smile rises to Sougo's lips.]


You're welcome. It may not be that exciting to celebrate with just the two of us, but today should be about you from start to finish.
koboreta: (pic#11480428)

[personal profile] koboreta 2020-04-01 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
["Just the two of us is perfect already"... How honest. How genuine. How... embarrassingly wonderful to hear.

Sougo's pale skin doesn't do him any favours when it comes to the faint flush that colours his cheeks, but it's simply not worth it to hide his gratitude.]


When you say things like that, I feel like I'm the one being celebrated. [Shouldn't he be the one saying things to make Tamaki smile?] I'm happy you're here with me too. I don't know what I'd do without you.

[Grinning, he takes one of the strawberries from his slice of cake and offers the fork out to Tamaki, gesturing toward his plate.]

Here. The strawberries are perfect, so it would be a waste not to eat them all.

[Coming up with a better surprise than this alone wouldn't be terribly difficult, but Sougo isn't about to reveal that this isn't the end of what he has planned. Instead, he only smiles and hums thoughtfully at the statement...

But than Tamaki just has to take things one step further than Sougo expected (which, really, he should have seen coming from a mile away), and he only falters briefly before leaning in just a little and trying to shove down any signs of embarrassment.]


Even without any cameras rolling?

[After all, it's not like they haven't done this before - feeding one another for fanservice is a staple in the idol industry, and even though they're far from Re:vale's level, MEZZO" has had their fair share of "say ahhhh~n" moments to make their fans melt into the floor.

Tamaki may enjoy being spoiled, but it's immediately clear that he's hoping to fluster Sougo, and birthday or not, he'd rather not appear that vulnerable when he's already feeling awfully nervous about what's to come. So it's time to take some inspiration from a certain pair of senior idols... and scoot in a little closer with a slightly coy smile.]


Tamaki-kun... "Ahhh~n."

[Spoiling Tamaki is one thing, and teasing him just this little bit is another. If Sougo had more time to think this through instead of making a split second decision, he surely would have been able to pull off the act a little better. If all goes well, it should be enough to fluster Tamaki at least a little... but the exaggerated reaction he's waiting for doesn't come.

Instead he's met with this shyness - this sweet, soft, genuine shyness that instantly makes his heart skip a beat, and once again, he's fallen victim to something that Tamaki definitely didn't intend.

Swallowing thickly, he struggles to maintain his expression for a few more seconds, knowing that the heat slowly rising to his cheeks isn't working in his favour. Still, Tamaki's own embarrassment allows him a bit of leeway, and he forcibly shoves down as much of his true feelings as possible as he reaches out to gingerly put the strawberry in Tamaki's mouth.]
