i know you do~. ( holding out a gift bag. inside there’s a date night outfit avan designed and made for blaze. )

have you tried therapy.

well, i suggest to keep trying. you know, for your own sake.

how the..

just use my room, silly. you’ve been there plenty of times.

checks out, actually.

way too late for that advice. ( drinks. a lot. )

you know you can always just greet them, right? they actually like you, unlike . . my other one. 5 minutes starting now!

i don’t need a lecture right now.

oh, shut up.. go! ( giving him a little push. )

happy birthday.

ugh, i know. i can’t help it that i’m so busy with classes, work, and just being popular in general. but, even someone as popular and booked as me can make time for his friend on her birthday.

i was just simply stating my reasons. of course, i brought you a little something, too.

well, i did bring some beer. but that’s not the gift.

right. we can get you some cider, too. it’s your birthday, hello? it’d be so rude not to.

just take the gift. ( spinning his car keys around his finger. ) should we go buy some now?

no problem, i’m sure you’ll love it. ready to head out?

( the gift is a nice jacket he made for her. he’s a fashion designer after all. ✨ standing there proudly of his gift. )

i’m glad to hear. ..yes, you can.
