"Happy Birthday, Kokichi... you doing alright?" He knew this was also a hard day for Kokichi, so he hoped he'll be able to cheer him up. Giving him a soft hug, Shuichi presents him a gift box, along with a container of birthday cupcakes he made for him. "I made these for you, and got you some gifts: I hope they're nice... ! ... And that you still have a nice day." Inside were a couple of video games he knew Kokichi's been wanting, and a Panta t-shirt.
“...’s good as I can be, really.”
It was a weird mix of happiness at it being his birthday, and...some sort of negative emotion at it being Father’s Day. He couldn’t really describe it.
Kokichi quietly returned the hug with one arm, before taking and opening up the gift box.
He definitely recognized the games in there, and the shirt got a little snort out of him. Plus, the cupcakes were very welcome. Not even weird negative emotions could suppress his sweet tooth.
“Thanks to this, I’m sure I will.”
...
“Thanks, Shuichi.”
