[ Getting the right ingredients and the right kitchenware takes a little bit of trading and bargaining but in the end Nanami manages to create a close approximation of zaru soba paired with two pieces of ebi tempura. Next to the bamboo tray is a small bag of the biscuits he made with Yuji the other day, attached is a small card.

To the prettiest princess the happiest of birthdays. --7

😭😭😭

[gorb]

( If Nanami didn't expect an acknowledgement then he should have played his hand a little better, because after Geto gets over the horrifying ordeal of being known -. )

Princess?

[tokakujuho]

[ As if it's a secret that the defected senpai has ever been anything but a pretty, pretty princess. ]

I don't really have the face or hair or waist to pull that off.

[gorb]

Nanami-san, I don't think you're supposed to be thinking about famed curse user's waists, no matter how snatched. But thank you, I put a lot of work into it.

(u‿ฺu✿ฺ)

( Is he ... the worst person you know? Probably. )

[tokakujuho]

[ The reunited senpais do take turns in being The Worst. ]

How many hours of hula hoop do go into that, one wonders.

[gorb]

I'll have you know I'm quite skilled. Mimi said it was very majestic.

[tokakujuho]

[ Twirling robes and flying hair... Would it look like a bird of paradise's mating dance? ]

Daughters truly are the better children.
Did she teach you?

[gorb]

Very patiently.

She taught me a whole routine. It involved a song about rainbows, I think.

[tokakujuho]

Cute.
You should show us sometime.
Or teach the boys. I'm sure they'd love it.

[gorb]

Ha. What about my reputation?

[tokakujuho]

What about it?
It can't get worse, can it?

[gorb]

Well, I do need a new hobby.

Did you make this by the way?

[tokakujuho]

I did. I hope you ate the tempura before it got soggy.

[gorb]

You didn't have to do anything, but it was very nice. So thank you.

( Hard to both show and also handle sincerity. He could possibly get a little wet around the eyes, don't look. But he's also not going to not acknowledge the kindness, so. )

[tokakujuho]

Don't say that.
I owed you one.
The last time you had a birthday in school I was [...] distracted.

[ And don't think he hasn't noticed the mother-henning. ]

[gorb]

( What mother-henning? He just doesn't want to be the only one responsible for Gojo. )

I was going to ignore it. It feels silly marking it now. ( Because RIP. ) And also I don't have any terrible news to deliver via icing.

[tokakujuho]

On the contrary, you should go all out now more than ever.

Wait, are we the same age now that you've skipped a year?

[gorb]

...

Ugh. Does it count? Satoru wants me to call him senpai.

[tokakujuho]

If he's so keen on being an elder, you should call him 'ji-san'.

[ Nanami, no... ]

[gorb]

( Watch this space!!! )

If he didn't have infinity on or he ever slept I'd glue a beard on him in the dead of night.

[tokakujuho]

If anyone can, it's you.
Is it on around you?

[gorb]

( It wasn't when Geto kissed him, but he doesn't know if that means anything. And it's not like he can mention that, so. Emotional vulnerability of a different kind it is. )

I don't check.

( He just assumes it would be. Why wouldn't it? He lost the privilege. )

[tokakujuho]

Should have thrown the cake at him to check.

[gorb]

Oh, I thought about it. But I'm trying not to cause scenes these days. Even if they're well deserving.

[tokakujuho]

That's very considerate of you.
I'm sure others will want to monopolise your time today as well.
Have a happy birthday, senpai.
