‘Right, here,’ Inukai says, handing Yuya a tupperware with sandwiches in it.
‘What?’ Yuya says, understandably confused. He accepts it anyway.
‘Those are tuna sandwiches, by the way.’ Inukai says unhelpfully. He stands then, with his arms crossed in front of his chest.
‘Uhm, thanks I guess.’
Inukai nods, ‘I’m not good in the kitchen so- I hope you don’t mind mayonnaise too much.’ He pauses and falters, ‘Uhm, I think I’ll be heading off now.’ He shuffles away, his head down and mumbling to himself.
ii.
With being left confused that morning, Yuya heads over to Inukai’s. He may as well return the tupperware, he thinks.
He doesn’t bother knocking, just turns the knob and opens the door and walks inside.
What he sees is Inukai standing on a stool, stretching to hang up pieces of paper on his walls.
‘Do you need help?’ Yuya asks, and surprises Inukai.
Inukai falls off with a screech and Yuya winces for him. ‘You,’ Inukai’s voice is shaking, ‘aren’t supposed to be here.’
Yuya approaches Inukai and helps him up. ‘I’ll just leave then?’
Inukai sighs, pulls Yuya with him, leads him to his bedroom, and pushes Yuya down on his bed. ‘You might as well stay here.’
iii.
Yuya watches Inukai walk out, he shrugs and lies down.
Fifteen minutes pass and Yuya wonders what Inukai’s doing. (He thinks he’s making fresh juice again, he has an obsession with doing that these days.) He counts up until ten in his head when he decides to sit up and help Inukai whatever it is.
But before he’s even up, the door creaks open and Inukai walks in.
‘Oh my god, are you naked?!’ Yuya screeches.
Inukai blanches, ‘What, no, I have underwear under this, geez.’
‘Are you doing that whole- oh my god-’ Yuya backs away until he sits on the bed, ‘Just cause it’s my birthday- are you telling me- what?!’
‘I’m not giving you my body as a present!’
‘But-’
‘I was making fresh orange juice and I accidentally spilled the whole pitcher on me.’
‘That doesn’t explain why you’re only in your bathrobe.’
‘No clean clothes, got lazy to do the laundry, et cetera, et cetera.’
iv.
Inukai raises an eyebrow, he walks towards his nightstand, pulls open the drawer and pulls out a little kigurumi.
‘Here,’ Inukai says, giving it to Yuya. ‘I completely failed at making you birthday food, and I was supposed to give this after the surprised party but, well.’
‘Ah, so you were hanging streamers awhile ago?’
‘Yeah,’ Inukai smiles, a little shy all of a sudden. ‘I’m not really good with giving birthday presents.’ He stands straighter, breathes deep and says, ‘Happy birthday.’
