(For magician!Adachi) Somehow, more had happened during the course of this year than it had during his other life's. Never would Yu have expected to be making Adachi of all people a birthday cake. But here he was, lighting the candles and the sparklers spraying off their golden glow. They illuminated the orange fox decorated on the cake's surface. "If you don't like it, I'll force it down your throat." The smile on his face was sickeningly sweet. "Happy birthday!"

Adachi's Birthday - Accepting!

Some things hadn't changed over the course of the crazy-ass year he'd spent in the tiny backwater town of Inaba. The town was still somehow both weird and boring. And Adachi still has the feeling that Narukami Yu is going to kill him someday.

Granted, they were a hell of a lot closer now, now that the Magician actually understood why the kid had held such an animosity for him from when they'd met to the time that Adachi had slapped him for being a prick all the time. And he had to admit, Narukami-kun's more of a saint than he would be. Adachi didn't think he'd ever be able to forgive even a different version of a murderer who tried to kill Nanako-chan.

But the fact that their bond had become strong as iron didn't mean that Adachi didn't still have the ability to annoy the kid whenever possible... nor did it make the kid any less weird.

Still, the birthday cake... was a really nice thing to do. It was homemade, too, decorated just for him. Why else would there be a fox there? He could already feel Chironnupu's burst of pride at seeing Adachi's birthday symbolize that aspect of himself.

He hadn't realized he'd just been staring at the cake, not saying anything, until Yu made the poisioned-sugar comment about shoving the cake down his throat if he didn't like it, and he snapped back to attention.

"Chill, alright? I'm just looking! This is my first birthday cake, give me a little bit to savor the moment!

...Still. You're an absolute oddball, Hero, but... thanks. Means a lot."
