Hey, so, I don't know my birthday.

(If you want to know why, click here for all the bg info you need)

How do you pick one?

Comments

[unhappy]

It's a deal then.

..But that's a long way's off, so can I come over tonight? I'm right next to a hoagie shop.

[glorifies]

Will you stay over? I'll have to buy milk.

[ He ran out... ]

[unhappy]

Sure. I'll get milk on my way, I'm sure there's a convenience store on the way from here. Do you care what kind of hoagie I get?

[ They're splitting it, they're huge.. ]

[glorifies]

I don't know what a hoagie is.

[ But he's willing to try it if she likes it! ]

Surprise me?

[unhappy]

Oh. They're good. Do you need anything besides milk?

[ She'll get one with italian meats!! Whatever the translation of that to Remnant-ese then to Prismatican is. ]

[glorifies]

Yes. The person who'll be delivering the milk.

[ He's actually being gross on purpose right now. ]

[unhappy]

Gods you're so embarrassing. Love you.

[ SHE HANGS UP ON HIM!! ]

[glorifies]

[ Akashi is in a good mood when the call finishes. Since Emerald's on her way, he just waits, and when Emerald arrives, she's gonna get welcomed with a kiss. It's as if he's been waiting for her by the door like a dog...

Hope she enjoys being dipped, too. ]

[unhappy]

[ The kiss is fine.

The dip is met with comical screaming. ]

Drinks! Spilling drinks!

[glorifies]

We'll clean it up.

[ He just wants to kiss her and be close right now!! If they eat upside down sandwiches, he definitely wouldn't mind either. ]

[unhappy]

Not off the sandwich we won't.

[ She is standing up straight and giving him a kiss on the cheek, then pushing him away so she can hurry over to the counter to start taking stuff out. Oh good, only a little dribble inside the bag... The gallon of milk in the other bag is fine too. ]

[glorifies]

[ He doesn't look at all disappointed that she's gone past him, but he does trail after her to place a hand on her waist and hug her from behind. ]

Is the food okay?

[unhappy]

[ She'll allow it!! In fact she leans back against him. ]

Looks okay, just wet paper.

[ In fact, what she places on the counter before then is a monster 2 foot long, 6 inch tall hoagie once she takes the paper off. ]

[glorifies]

Good.

[ Akashi glances at the sandwich - it's big. He'll definitely have to ask how it's eaten later on, but for now... ]

Kiss me properly, then.

[unhappy]

[ He hasn't been patient so she really shouldn't reward him. But Emerald never any good at not spoiling him so once she's completely unloaded the food and groceries, as he requested, she turns around and rather suddenly jumps onto him. Hands on his shoulders, legs around his waste, lips against his. How's that for a proper kiss, you impatient dope!? ]

[glorifies]

[ It's a proper kiss. It has Akashi's seal of approval.

And his hands are on her ass when he catches her. He has to make sure she doesn't fall! He's not horny or anything— at least, not at this moment, but he does want to kiss her and taste her because even just a day of not seeing her makes him miss her a lot. Not to mention, he feels really excited that she's here to visit, even if they made plans for the next week just an hour or so ago. ]

[unhappy]

[ She isn't thinking he's horny or anything. She isn't either, she just wanted to blow him away with an overdramatic kiss the same way he tried to. She has to make up for it, you know? she kisses him for a good few seconds before pulling back, but not hopping down yet. She'll stay here until he moves his hands so she can get down. ]

I picked a birthdate, by the way.

[glorifies]

[ He's actually going to sit her down on the counter while he places his arms on either side of her. They can talk like this. It's fine, and it's not like they're doing anything messy in the kitchen. ]

When is it?

[unhappy]

[ She shifts so she's comfortable on the counter, looking him dead in the eyes. ]

April 23rd.

[ Ask her why!! She's pretty sure it's the best thing she's ever thought of, and it shows on her face that she's absolutely certain of this date. ]

[glorifies]

Why is that?

[ There's a lot more things he can ask, but it looks like Emerald wants him to ask her why. He'll give her what she wants. ]

[unhappy]

[ Brace yourself for this. ]

It's 4 and 2+3 is a hidden 5.

[ Akashi and Mayu's Jersey numbers!!!!! ]

You'll both always be a part of me now.

[glorifies]

[ That's. The funniest thing he's ever heard, and he lets go of her to cover his mouth as he laughs. It's not him mocking her—far from it—but even with her birthday that she chose, she was still thinking of him and Mayuzumi. At least, he seems to get her reasoning for choosing her birthday, anyway.

He rests his forehead on hers once he's done. It's not like he had a laughing fit, anyway. ]

I look forward to celebrating your birthday next year and the upcoming years to come.

[unhappy]

[ She blushes at him laughing. She thought it was really clever okay!! But with his forehead against hers, it's a mild, happy embarrassment. Out of all the reasons to choose a birthday, it made the most sense to her. It's the two people who make her feel most alive, most real, most herself, most happy. Something that represents them.. of course she would choose that once she figured out it was an option.

She smiles after he speaks again, quiet for only a moment before adding: ]

I love you, Sei.

[glorifies]

[ He moves his face so he can rest his chin on her shoulder when he holds her close to him, his arms wrapping around her back as he does. ]

I love you, Emerald. I'm really glad we met.

[ Even with all the bad memories in Empatheias, he's gone through so much with Emerald, and he's thankful to have her here with him now. He thinks, sometimes, that he would be as devoted to her as he is now even if they hadn't started dating. Emerald became that important to him. ]

[unhappy]

[ She wraps her arms around him as well, holding onto him tight and thinking quietly for a moment, then whispering: ]

I wish I'd marked down the day we met, so I could've chosen the day my life changed into something worth being happy about.
