Birthday times with dontcallmeerky.

She'd had it marked on her calendar, the only solid date she could guarantee being solid when it came to her relationship--('I still can't believe I'm in one.')--out of how many "what ifs" were involved. They couldn't be sure about the date they met, nor the precise date of when they got together--Kyonko wasn't one for anniversaries anyway--but

For once, Erk managed to wake up quickly upon being disturbed - mostly, anyway. He had absolutely no idea what day it was; after so long having so much more to worry about, especially in Econtra, he wasn't really in the habit of remembering his birthdays anymore.

There was a brief moment of panic as he registered the emptiness beside him until he registered just who the soft voice on the other side of the door was. "Yes, I'm awake," he called back just as softly, wondering what in the world she'd gotten up so early for.

Kyonko had honestly felt guilty about leaving their bed that morning. Between them getting shifted between worlds in their sleep so much, Kyonko had made it a habit of waiting until Erk was awake to get out of bed. He tended to panic when she was gone, just like she did if she ever woke up without him beside her.

She opened the door with one hand and entered, an almost apologetic smile on her face as she approached him.

"I'd sing for you, but I'd probably break a few windows trying: happy birthday."

Erk flushed a little, smiling. "L-love... you didn't have to get up so early just for this." Not that he wasn't flattered.

That was when he took a better look at her and saw it, and felt like his heart would burst; she'd left her hair down. He always felt like it was something special when he remembered, even though she always did.

She took a seat on the edge of the bed beside him and set the tray down.

"I know, but I wanted to," she said with a shrug and intentionally flicked some of her hair over her shoulder, "I mean, you're a nice guy. You deserve to get spoiled every once in a while and if you're girlfriend can't do it, then who can?"

She leaned over to kiss him softly.

"So, for today, anything you want, you just have to ask for. We'll do whatever you like, whenever you like, wherever you like. And you are not going to argue your way out of it, deal?"
