Ohno Satoshi strolled slowly into the kitchen and switched on the coffee-maker on the countertop. He looked at the calendar just a short distance away and smiled.
It was the 30th of August- his boyfriend's birthday. And God blessed his soul, for it was on a Saturday and they have the whole day free.
Ohno chuckled lightly to himself as he ran through in his mind the things he would do for his birthday date, making sure he would not forget a thing-- cook breakfast for him, take him for a light-hearted stroll around the mall, watch a movie, and midway through it disappear off halfway to run down to the cake store to pick up a cake he had ordered, and then celebrate his birthday with a dinner at a hotel he had specially reserved, and then take out his present...
His present ...
Ohno stopped in his train of thoughts, realising the one thing that he had forgotten in their flurry of a week- a present for his boyfriend.
"Oh dear,"he thought with a slow dread, "I'll need to rethink my plans for the day.." Just then, he was jolted out of his thoughts when he heard a slow shuffling of feet. He turned to see Jun approaching him. Jun rubbed his eyes sleepily and stretched out his arms for a hug.
"Good morning, Satoshi,"Jun murmured, giving his boyfriend an affectionate hug and a gentle peck on the cheek. Ohno grinned and gave him a light kiss on the lips in response.
"Good morning, birthday boy. Happy birthday,"Ohno greeted and nuzzled his nose into the crook of his neck, and Jun patted his bum affectionately before sauntering to the kitchen.
"What do you want for breakfast? I'll cook," Jun said. Ohno chuckled.
"But it's your birthday! Shouldn't I be doing the cooking?" Ohno asked as he put on his apron, but Jun was already looking in the fridge and taking out the eggs from the fridge and looked in the cabinet for baking soda and sugar.
"Well, let's cook together then. I'll do up the pancakes and you can cook... the eggs and bacon,"Jun replied, handing him a couple of eggs.
"We're going to be real full, aren't we?" Ohno said as he turned away to prepare the eggs, his hand reaching for his phone and sending a quick text to his best friend.

Nino rolled in his bed, snuggling into the warmth of his blanket. The door to his room opened and a man with sloping shoulders sighed and shook his head with a fond smile as he watched him sleep. He clutched Nino's phone in his hand and scooted over to him, leaning down to drop a soft kiss on his forehead.
"Kazu, wake up.. Leader left a text for you and it seems urgent," he said. Nino made an annoyed noise and flipped over to face him and tug him down onto the sheets.
"Sho, let's ignore him and just cuddle," Nino grumbled, taking the phone from Sho's hand and setting his phone aside. Sho laughed and took the phone again.
"I think we can cuddle while you reply," Sho said as he pressed his lips to Nino's collarbone and rested his head against his shoulders.
Nino sighed, wrapping an arm around Sho's waist while the other tapped on his phone to read Ohno's message.
"Nino! I forgot Jun's present and I need ideas! What should I get him?! Please, you must help me with this!" it read.
Nino raised an unamused eyebrow at the phone.
"It seems that Riida forgot Jun-kun's birthday present and is sending us an SOS now. What shall we do?" Nino asked as he looked at Sho, pouting lightly. Sho hummed thoughtfully as he thought through possible gift ideas for Jun.
"Well I got him a tie and cufflinks set, so he can't get those," Sho said, "and you got him a bluetooth headset, so that's out too..." Sho said.
"And Aiba is getting him a leopard print vest for him to match his own," Nino continued, "so... something else that Jun will use and Ohno can buy sneakily..."
"Food won't suffice, ne?" Sho said. Nino laughed and whacked him softly on his hair.
"No. I think you wouldn't be satisfied if I gave you food for your birthday present," Nino said.
"Hey, I may not mind if it's good stuff like Kobe beef," Sho replied. Nino giggled and tangled his fingers in Sho's hair as he continued thinking.
"I think a brand new watch would be good," Sho said, "it's small and handy, so he can sneak it discreetly in his clothes or something."
"True. I think with Jun-kun, one can't have too many watches, ne?" Nino said.
"Or rings," Sho added with a grin as he watched Nino type his reply and press "send". He then tossed his phone lightly onto the bed, just some distance away from them.
"Now," Nino whispered, "where were we?"
"Let me remind you," Sho said as he kissed Nino's collarbone and pulled the blankets above them.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Ahhh~ I'm full~" Ohno said as he laid back on his chair, feeling the phone vibrate in his pocket. Jun smiled affectionately at him and proceeded to clear some plates off the table, ferrying them to the kitchen. Just then, Ohno hurriedly took out his phone and looked at Nino's reply.
"A watch? That's a great idea! I'll get him a fashionable-looking one and I know he will love it!" he thought excitedly to himself as he placed the phone back in his pocket.
"Satoshi? What's with that grin on your face?" Jun asked as he came back, looking at him curiously. Ohno simply grinned wider at him and helped to carry some dishes to the kitchen.
"Say, where shall we go today? I want to take you somewhere to celebrate your birthday," Ohno said. Jun shrugged as he thought.
"I'm fine with any place... shall we go to a museum or an art gallery then?" Jun suggested. Ohno tried not to gulp as he nodded, seeing the plans for the day take a slightly different turn.
"This might not end well," he thought, "I'll need Aiba-chan's help later, if he's available."
It so turned out that Aiba Masaki was indeed available that afternoon- there he was, shopping at a mall for a new set of t-shirts. He heard his phone ring and picked up the call.
"Hello, Leader?" he said.
"Ah, Aiba-chan? I might need your help with something," Ohno said, covering his phone as he spoke in the washroom of the art gallery he was in, "I need you to help me get something for Jun, and I'm nowhere near a shopping mall for this."
Aiba looked around in surprise, "oh! Leader! I'm in a mall now! What do you need me to get him?"
"A watch. Black. Fashionable for men," Ohno said.
"I'll try. Later I will mail you the pictures and you'll just pick one when you can, ne?" Aiba suggested, "but please tell me where you are so I can give you your watch and get back my money- I need to buy some clothes..."
"Okay," Ohno said," thanks, Aiba-kun. You really saved me this time."
"I'm not called a 'Miracle Boy' for nothing!" Aiba said cheekily as he hung up and hurried to find suitable watches for Jun.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ohno ran from the toilet towards his boyfriend, who presently cast him a concerned look.
"Are you okay, Satoshi? You took a while," Jun asked.
"Oh, I'm fine. Just... th..the queue, you see," Ohno said nervously as he tugged Jun slowly away and moved around the exhibition hall.
Jun raised an elegant brow at Ohno's shifty actions and shrugged as he followed him along.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Aiba wandered around the mall and finally managed to take a few pictures of several watches from Tag Heuer. He quickly sent them to Ohno while picking up a drink. Just then, he caught two familiar figures strolling past him.
"Ah! Sho-chan! Nino-chan!" Aiba called, waving cheerily at them.
"Ah, Aiba-chan! What are you doing here?" Nino asked.
"I was tasked by Leader to get Jun-kun a watch for his birthday..." Aiba said. Nino sighed.
"As expected, Leader is hopeless, ne?" he said.
"Well, which one do you think suits Jun-kun?" Aiba asked, showing them the photos.
"I think this one is not bad," Sho said while pointing to one of them, "look at the gold setting around it."
"I assume Oh-chan asked you to pick something black... I agree with Sho-chan, this one looks a lot better," Nino said.
"Well, I hope he picks it too," Aiba said, "but as to where to meet him.."
"Ah right, we need to give them to Leader, ne?" Sho said.
"...He just beeped me back! He said that our choice is fine. Let's hurry!" Aiba said, and the three men dashed back to the shop.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hmm... this movie seems good..." Jun said as they settled down in the theatre later on with some popcorn. Ohno slid beside him and hurriedly checked his phone, and suddenly remembered that he has to collect the birthday cake he had ordered for him as well.
"Erm... I'll use the toilet again..." Ohno said as he handed Jun his popcorn. Jun looked at him questioningly.
"Satoshi? Was it the breakfast? I'm perfectly fine though," Jun asked, concerned.
"Well, I don't want to miss the show halfway by going to the toilet, so..." Ohno replied and quickly dashed out. Jun frowned as he looked at the screen.
"He's a bit jumpy today," Jun mentally noted as he ate.
"Leader! Where are you?!" Aiba asked as he jogged in the mall, holding the wrapped watch in one hand. Sho and Nino followed on his heels as they looked around for their leader.
"I'm trying to go grab a cake from the patisserie here," Ohno said as he dashed past the cinema gates and hurried down the escalators.
"Oh, okay! We will meet you there! Sho-chan and Nino-chan are following me here!" Aiba said and hung up. Ohno's eyes widened in surprise as he took in the fact that his fellow bandmates were doing all they can to help make Jun's birthday a pleasant one.
He reached the cake shop 10 minutes into the movie and gave his name, and his bandmates arrived soon after, helping him carry the cake back up the cinema.
"Oh-chan, is it alright for you to leave the cinema like that?" Nino asked.
"It should be fine if he has his ticket stump to show that he was watching the movie," Sho said as they finally reached the cinema.
"I'm really...really.. thankful for this," Ohno said breathlessly as he took the cake from Nino and the watch from Aiba.
"No problem, but you owe me and Sho-chan one for disturbing our lovey-dovey date," Nino said, sticking out his tongue before hiding behind Sho. Ohno grinned and reached into his pockets.
...
He could not find his ticket stump.
"Come on, not now!" Ohno thought frantically as he reached into his pockets, only to find that he had left his ticket stump back in the cinema.
"Oh no, what are we going to do?!" Aiba asked as he held Jun's gifts and let Ohno turn his pockets inside out.
"I guess we will have to wait," Nino said resignedly as he linked arms with Sho. Ohno sighed as he squatted down on the floor.
"I really am quite hopeless, huh?" Ohno mumbled with a pout on his face.
"EH?! What are you guys doing here?!" a familiar voice called behind them. They turned to see Jun standing behind them, and were shocked as well.
"What are YOU doing here? Aren't you supposed to be watching the movie?" Sho asked, confused.
"I got worried that Satoshi-kun isn't coming back 20 minutes into the show, so I hurried to the toilet, only to find that he wasn't there. I figured something must have happened, so I ran out..." Jun explained as he walked towards them, his eyes catching a glimpse of the gift-wrapped box and the cake box.
"... what's this about?" Jun asked. Sho sighed.
"We've all had a busy week and Leader forgot to buy you your present. He had been texting me and Nino for ideas this morning and Aiba this afternoon to task him to buy his present for you." Sho said.
"We happened to pass by here when we met Aiba-chan and decided to help Leader get your present and cake," Nino added.
Jun had no idea what to do. He was torn between many things- whack his boyfriend on the head for being such an adorable idiot, hug Aiba for doing the best he could for his birthday, hug Sho and Nino for taking the time of their own date to help him celebrate, kiss his boyfriend for doing the best he could for him...
He decided that he couldn't choose and gave them all a fierce hug anyway.
"Thank you, guys," he breathed shakily, overwhelmed with happiness "thank you so much."
"Happy birthday, Jun," Ohno replied, and kissed him on the cheek.
"Get a room, you two!" Nino groaned and tugged Sho away from the pair.
"Well," Ohno said thoughtfully, "we do have one." Jun looked at him in surprise.
"We do?!" Jun asked. Ohno nodded and leaned over to whisper in Jun's ear. It did not take Jun twenty seconds before he blushed profusely to his toes and the other three band members discreetly sneaked away to leave them to a romantic evening together.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Well, I thought we had to tell him that OUR surprise party for him is on Monday.Thank goodness THAT plan isn't ruined," Sho said.
"Yeah, hopefully everything goes smoothly- the party should be nothing less than perfect for our princess." Nino gave his usual snarky remark, at which the other two members laughed.
"I don't think he needs it to be perfect," Sho said, "because so long as Leader is there, it's the same thing."
"Yeah, he wouldn't need us around, really.. like tonight..." Aiba joked.
"Now that you mentioned it," Nino said with a mischievous smile, "see you on Monday, Aiba-chan~" with that, Nino dragged his boyfriend away, and Aiba was left on his own. It was then he realised...
"Oi! Leader! I need my shopping money!" he yelled. With that, he ran back into the mall.
Omake:
The rest of the evening went as smooth as Ohno had planned, except that somehow when they entered the room, the hotel got their ordered-in-advance room service wrong and gave them a basket of champagne instead of a chocolate fondue set.
"And it's for a pair of newlyweds too!" Ohno complained with a pout.
"It's okay," Jun said, popping the cork off," I have one way of using this." With that, he poured some into one of the glasses provided and drank a little.
"Oooh, this is good! I'll let you try," Jun said, pulling Ohno close and kissed him passionately, and Ohno had to admit that he had never tasted anything sweeter and more delicious than Jun's champagne-drenched lips.
"Happy Birthday, Jun..." he whispered completely breathless from their intoxicating kisses. Jun grinned and shoved his boyfriend on the bed.
"I think the champagne will taste nicer here..." he drawled sexily as he dribbled a little bit of the drink onto Ohno's neck and started devouring it. Jun smiled happily as he proceeded to remove the rest of Ohno's clothes, as if unwrapping a present so perfect for him.
A/N: So so sorry for being late. ><
