Interesting How One's Life Can Crumble in a Moment

@unborderedreflection || Birthday Wishes For Nii-san

It feels as if it's been forever since Julius sat at this old apartment's kitchen table, waiting for his little brother (and his new date) to present him with his birthday desserts. Often times while he still worked at Spirius, he'd come home late to a cake and pasta margherita on the table to greet him. A birthday where he just sat down, no worries looming over his head... if one existed, he can't remember it.

For all that they lost on that pier, he's gained something he'd never replace. Julius Will Kresnik will live and die a rather selfish man.

When he hears footsteps coming closer, Julius sheds off all his unnecessary thoughts to focus on the delicious meals about to come his way. His first server is Ms. Maxwell (although one day she'll be Mrs. Kresnik) with her latest creation: a perfect chocolate recreation of Rollo standing proud. But the real fun is waiting inside-- Milla loaded his treat with tomatoes so there's incentive to not just admire the piece until it melts.

And he wouldn't be Julius if he let any tomato go bad in his presence.

"You certainly know how to exploit my weaknesses. Ludger's been giving you private lessons, hasn't he?" Julius teases with a slight knowing smirk. "At least let me take a photo before I devour this work of art. Then I'll verify personally if those tomatoes were worth the destruction."

They would be--tomatoes are always worth it--but a big brother must always play coy. Though he does actually reach into his coat pocket for his GHS to take the chocolate Rollo's picture.

Perhaps this picture'll be the first thing Julius ever hangs up in his near barren bedroom. A reminder that his birthdays are not the clock's hands ticking closer to his time of death anymore. He can enjoy them as celebrations for the life Ludger fought to keep with everything he had.

"Thank you for the birthday present, Milla. And also for making my little brother very happy."

She folded her arms at his assumption. "It's not like you're that hard to read and I've been here long enough to not need Ludger's help knowing what you like." Though he had made the suggestion to just go with regular tomatoes rather than candied tomatoes like her initial plan.

Still, it was gratifying to have a picture taken of her work, since she had been practicing this many times over the past while and finally--finally--it seemed to be a perfect rendition of the king of cats himself.

"Of course," she told him at his thanks with a wave of her hand, but then paused and blushed a bit. "Hmph, he needs someone to look out for him anyway, that's all I'm doing!"

It was after a long pause that she realized she'd forgotten something important.
