rei had heard from tyson and max about kai's birthday, confused as to how they managed to find that information out. but he'd just get kai a snack he enjoys, a full bag of it. not something big and he wouldn't say much when he gives it to his friend, before a knowing smile appeared on his face. "enjoy kai." he walked off to practice, hope the gift was enough. he's sure making a big deal out of the day would make the other uncomfortable. inside the bag, a brand new shooter in a separate bag.
He wanted to AVOID this day like the plague. Nothing good came out of it. A PLETHORA of bad memories were the only things he could think of when this DREADED day waltzed its way around. Kai had made it his MISSION to keep this day to himself; to not let ANYONE know about it. He didn’t want anyone to know. He didn’t want ANYONE making a huge fuss over a day he’d rather treat like an ordinary, BORING day. His birthday meant nothing; it was worth NOTHING & he rather it STAY NOTHING.
However, that didn’t seem to be the case with everyone else. This was the THIRD KNOCK TODAY & Kai was ten seconds away from running himself up a wall. In a bit of a huff, the Russian blader stomped himself to the door & jerked the handle open.
But–he spoke to NO ONE. Was he going crazy? He did hear a KNOCK, right? Maybe this day did drive him up that proverbial wall. But no. As wine colored eyes turned themselves DOWN, before him was what looked to be a bag. Fingers laced around it & picked up the mystery bag; shutting the door behind him. It wasn’t hard to figure out JUST WHO dropped this off. Both TYSON & MAX had already came by & barraded him with the happy birthday melody. KENNY came by after & instead of singing that GOD AWFUL song, returned to him Dranzer, new & improved for his special day. It really didn’t take a GENIUS to figure out who this came from.
Kai opened the bag & the AROMA of Lemon cakes invaded his nose. Smart cat that one was. One hand went inside & pulled out one of the sugary treats; taking a bite without a SECOND THOUGHT. They were freshly baked today–nice touch. The shooter was seen next & Kai took the time to EXAMINE the make. VERY PRISTINE. To think someone actually went out & spent money on HIM? Kai wasn’t sure if that was THOUGHTFUL or PATHETIC.
But, his light S M I L E told a different tale. His thanks will be given, once he too went to practice. Gotta test the NEW SHOOTER somehow, right? But, not before he took the time DIVE INTO these delicious cakes.
❛ Hm. Not bad for a BIRTHDAY. ❜
