“Look at you like what? You’re not even looking at me.”

It’s blatant from the whine in his voice how exactly he’s looking at her. He scratches the side of his face whilst making back-and-forth glances between the vending machine and Maki. At the bottom of the machine are all sorts of snacks—and he is this close to just leaning forward and taking one. But, he also realizes how swift Maki is.

It’s pretty blatant she’s not looking at him purposefully. That gives him an idea. (It’s not mischievous in the slightest.) Stepping up next to her, he bends his knees to match her height—yes, this posture is going to hurt if he has to keep it up. Kaito smirks and waves one hand in front of her face… then he slowly extends his hand to the snacks, attempting to grab one. (Not mischievous at all, really.)

“You sure you’re not gonna? Then I guess I got no other choice…”

@astralheart​ liked for a starter!!

“Don’t look at me like that.”

She’s not actually looking at him as she speaks. Maki’s busy punching in numbers on the vending machine, for her….. seventh snack. (Don’t worry about it.) They all await her at the bottom, to be grabbed. Anyway, she doesn’t need to begin to guess his expression. She might cave, if she looks at him. (Don’t worry about that either.)

“I’m not sharing with you.”

NO CLUE WHY THAT FORMATTING KEEPS GOING WEIRD BUT god i am happy to write kaito again

[astralheart]

"Idiot..." For what should be an insult, the word rolls off her tongue far too affectionately. Maki moves in a sort of blink and you'll miss it manner, closing the distance between them. She reaches out and embraces him, "...I missed you."

She reaches him so quickly with that skillful stealth ofhers. There’s an initial look of surprise on his face—his eyes widen swiftly,but they hurriedly return to normal… if not somewhat shut. A body wraps itselfaround him, one Kaito knows so very well. That warmth could belong to only oneperson, after all.

Shutting his eyes entirely, he wraps his arms around thebrunette. It’s a gentle touch, it’s a soft embrace. It feels like nostalgia. Right,he’s home now. As much as the man adored adventure, as much as he lived forexploration of the unknown… there was absolutely nothing else in the world thatcould create this much happiness. Nothing except the embrace of someone he heldso dear.

“Yeah,” He says quietly, in almost a whispered tone. Hishand reaches upward, stroking her head tenderly. “I know.” Leaning down, movinghis face a touch closer to her ear, he whispers. “Me too.”

Kokichi rested his chin in his hands, watching with warmth and affection as Kaito got increasingly more excited as he took in the fruits of Kokichi’s labors. The fond smile spread into a smug, playful grin when Kaito stood in front of him, beaming, even as he called out the understatement.

Kokichi returned the embrace with equal appreciation - and resisting the urge to say something suggestive or make a lewd noise, but now wasn’t the time for that no matter how much he enjoyed Kaito’s hand in his hair. He brushed his lips against Kaito’s neck before they pulled apart again, a soft kiss meant to express adoration, not lust. 

The expression on his face was probably entirely too full of himself, but Kokichi didn’t mind showing Kaito just how pleased he was that his boyfriend was amazed by the work he’d done.

“I think it’s more like a box of those Every Flavor jellybeans,” Kokichi said, grin turning impish. That was as much of a hint as Kaito was going to get that emotionally, the presents would probably be a mixed bag. “You’ll get through them all eventually! And I’m not gonna let you go out and do anything else until you’ve seen each and every one, so better get unwrapping~!”

Kokichi gave Kaito a playful wink, and sat down at Kaito’s desk, which had two mugs of coffee and two pieces of birthday cake. This would probably take a while, so he’d made sure to have breakfast ready. And what better breakfast for Kaito’s birthday than cake?

The astronaut cherished every touch Ouma gifted him—even more than the presents that materialized inside his room. Every soft brush, kiss, motion…it was all his. Nothing could replace the time he spent with the Supreme Leader. That was the most valuable gift of all…memories. Yes, it was an incredibly corny thought. But Kaito could be just that—horribly corny at times.

Glancing at the small male, who wasn’t making any attempt at hiding just how proud he was of himself, Kaito rolled his eyes. Alright, yeah, he should be pretty gratified. Look at the place. It’s amazing…all the work he put into this. It had to take a lot of effort, a lot of consideration. None of that went past Kaito—he realized every bit of determination Ouma had…when it came to making him happy. And he did. He had a way with doing that…perhaps he’d done it too well.

“Wait,” That hint made him a bit nervous. Or maybe the correct word was…anxious. He really needed to open one of these presents and he needed to open one now. Stepping toward one of the wrapped gifts—he picked it up. “I better not open this up and see something weird. If I do, you’re in for it.” His tone wasn’t one of anger, it was more flippant—as he proceeded to shake it around…trying to get a feel for what was inside. “Geez...you really keep me guessing.”

Well, there was no better way to find out than to open it. Carefully…with a lot more caution than was necessary…he opened it. Ah, it looked to be a lot more sensible than he’d have thought. Hm, Ouma did hint that it’d be a mixed bag. “These are some really complicated science books, aren’t they? Damn.” He mused, staring at the front cover with a faint smile. “I mean, not too hard for the Luminary of the Stars, of course…” His sentence began to trail off, as he opened the book…

Just as quickly as he opened it, he closed it shut—a tint of red overcoming his cheeks. “…You...are an idiot.”

[astralheart]

maskslain:

Of course, he made quite the deal out of her birthday two months ago. It would be impossible for her not to return the gesture for his. And this was important to her, just as he was important to her. She could never let this day pass by without doing something for him. With him. She wanted it to be something memorable. Thus far, everything they’d done was on campus.

Undoubtedly, he’d be surrounded by their classmates later. It was why she’d been so adamant that he had to be on time. To start the day with him. To be with him one-on-one. Her plans weren’t extravagant, but she knew these were things he loved. Things that he would enjoy.

“It’s a lot of work, being an idiot at midnight, huh?” she huffed in response, though a smile gave away her own teasing. His head was up in space, when he looked up at the stars. If he wasn’t sleeping, then midnight was almost the ideal time to look at stars. In part, it was why she had chosen 12:05AM precisely to meet.

“Hey…,” she trailed off, mocking pout. “It’s April 12, of course,” she hummed, shifting as he sat. She pulled the basket close to open it, without him peeking in. “If you’re saying I don’t know what today is..,” Maki trailed off, pulling the ice cream pint, one bowl, and owe spoon out.

She then closed the basket and looked at him. She bit the bottom of her lip to try to keep from smiling. For someone typically so stoic, she could barely keep her composure around him. “Then you don’t mind if I eat this on my own, right?” she teased back. Admittedly, she hoped he would whine some. He was adorable, in an annoying sort of way, when he did that.

The night sky was calming. The sound of her voice was soothing. He was already having a good time—this was a good way to start being a year older. Perhaps it was his imagination, but hey…he was feeling a bit more mature, too.

Or…maybe not. He just couldn’t contain himself from retorting back with playful remarks when it came to the brunette. The expressions she made were always so endearing. When she’d make a pout, when she’d run her fingers through that long hair of hers…the astronaut leaned in closer toward her. “Well, if you’re talking to an idiot, you’re talking to a much more mature idiot. An entire year older…talk about an accomplishment…please, hold the praise.”

Naturally she’d known the date, and naturally—he was expecting that expression on her face. He was anticipating it. But…he wasn’t expecting what was about to come out of that mysterious basket she’d brought. Was that…oh, my. That was vanilla ice cream, wasn’t it? That was Kaito’s desired flavor—yes, a rather plain choice—but it was always his pick when he’d go out with his grandma for ice cream…so it held a special place in his heart.

There was no way he wasn’t going to eat some of that. Watching her teasingly close the basket, speaking to him in a way that was impishly testing…mouth agape, he crossed his arms…scooting toward her, just a bit. “C-come on, that was just a joke! A joke! There’s no way you’d forget my birthday, and...what’s the fun in eating all that by yourself?! It’d be totally lonely...!” His tone was contrite and hurried…he kept his eyes on her.

“Hey, if I gotta use my hands to eat it, I will…” Which was a pretty odd thing to say, but hey, making the impossible possible…was something he was going to do. And he’d figured this eccentric comment—made with a wink and a wry grin, would get her to comply with a ‘request’ for a spoon and bowl. So much for being a bit more ‘mature’.

[astralheart]

"Happy Birthday, Momota-kun... !" Shuichi presents to him a present. He doesn't feel he's the exact best at shopping, but when he saw in the store a black hoodie, he had to get it for him. But the special thing about said hoodie was that it had a galaxy design to it, so he figured, he might just like it. "I um, hope this present is alright."

“Thanks, Shuichi!” He presented his sidekick an energeticthumbs-up along with a vibrant smile to match. He’d figured that Shuichi wouldn’tforget his birthday—how could he, after all? Kaito was mentioning it quitevehemently for the past week. The astronaut was probably sounding a bit like abroken record…but, that didn’t mean the detective was obligated to get him agift.

Taking the present from the male, he held it out in front ofhim. A black hoodie—with a galaxy design. It was simplistic, it was fit toKaito’s tastes. It was chosen with the astronaut in mind. He really liked it.Wasting no time, he put it on right then, right there…directly over his shirt,and his own jacket he was wearing. A snug fit, certainly…but hey, he’d made itwork—even if he looked like a fool.

“…Well, hey, it fits! And I think it really suits me too,don’t you think? Really enunciates my status as an astronaut.” This gift wasperfect, and he wanted Shuichi to know…that he appreciated it.

[astralheart]

It was pretty apparent to him why she’d wanted to meet at this specific time—five minutes past midnight. So oddly specific…five minutes into the date of April 12th. Why, there would be no other reason…than to celebrate his birthday. After all, he’d been mentioning it quite a bit as of lately. He was pretty vocal when it came to the day. To someone like Kaito, birthdays were big celebrations. Or at least, they should be.

But he wasn’t sure what to expect from this invitation of hers. Maki found ways of surprising him constantly. He loved that about her—her little ways of keeping him in wonder. Being with her, watching her, talking with her…honestly, part of him was thinking that spending just a regular day with his friends on this very special date would be just fine.

Arriving at the field, a field that seemed to be just as precise as the date she desired to meet him at—Kaito made sure to be on time. Being late today? Not going to happen. Waving at her, he casually walked right on up. “Of course,” She was seated on a blanket…and he knew it wasn’t his imagination—she’d improved her posture just a bit upon his arrival…depicting her excitement. The astronaut wasn’t about to hide his—a bright, big smile on his face…enough to illuminate the night sky. He took note of what was beside her.

A basket, hm? So they were going to have a picnic here. At night, too. That was something he’d never done before, but it sure sounded like it’d be fun. Especially with Maki—gazing up at the night sky, talking with her…on his birthday. “I made sure that my schedule was completely clear—I’m pretty busy at midnight, you know?”

Taking a seat directly next to her, sitting with his legs out, he stretched just a bit…not looking at the sky, but rather, finding himself staring at her. He was curious about the basket, yes, but really…he was happy. Spending time with her at the start of his birthday like this…it was nice. “I’ll bet you have no idea what day it is.” His tone was playful, clearly teasing her.

@astralheart is celebrating a birthday..!

It was five minutes past midnight. Five minutes into April 12th. His birthday. She asked him to meet him her at a field. She’d been searching for some time for a place to view the stars. On her own, Maki tested out various locations. She was careful to sneak off after training, pretending to be asleep on nights she didn’t spend with him, so as not to be caught. She couldn’t identify stars or constellations the way he could, but she did have an eye for detail. She could tell the difference in the night sky, based upon location. Light pollution was less here.

She was seated on top of a blanket. A small picnic basket rested beside her. Inside, she had packed two bowls, two spoons, store bought ice cream. She purposefully saved money up for it, despite her usual frugality in regard to her work. A cake for two, chocolate with vanilla icing, handmade was also stored inside.

“…You’re on time today,” Maki teased affectionately, visibly perking up at his arrival. Today was important, in her eyes. She’d been secretive about her intentions. Gifts weren’t her strong suit. Regardless, she wanted to spend the day with him.

The astronaut always looked forward to his birthday. He’d consistently had this vision in his head—for what he’d wanted it to be like. Each year, it got bigger and better. After all, nothing was impossible…right? Getting older was an accomplishment, not something to be averse to. Being that this was the case, another year older, was he. That must mean he’s getting wiser, too—that’s what he’d like to think, anyhow.

Ouma had gotten into the habit of sneaking into his room quite often. He was pretty much his live-in guest at this point. Kaito really didn’t mind, honestly—he kind of liked it…but he’d never, ever admit that out loud. Sure, the Supreme Leader was his boyfriend…but saying something like that—it was still against his nature. Kaito was much more the type to show his affection through gestures, actions. Those spoke louder than words, right? Well, in that case, what he was about to wake up to was about to speak…and very, very loudly.

Jostling around on his bed, he propped himself up with his elbows and—not surprisingly to him—felt and heard a certain Supreme Leader. It was a nice way to awaken…taking a moment to wake himself up, rubbing his eyes—oh. It’s his birthday. It’s his birthday. “Hey…hey, that’s right. That’s right, it’s my birthday!” Repeating himself with a tone of excitement, he bounced off the bed, staring at Ouma momentarily, however…hurriedly enough finding himself positively starry-eyed at the décor surrounding his dorm room. It…wasn’t like this yesterday. He’s pretty darn sure it wasn’t, anyway.

Playful balloons and streamers, a moon-and-stars piñata—which really caught his attention—, this mound of gifts wrapped in Milky Way-patterned paper…no, this stuff definitely wasn’t here yesterday. And he already knew who the culprit was, why, the answer was so obvious—it had this person’s name written all over it…Ouma.

After taking in the sight, slowly, he turned his head to look at the male sitting on the side of his bed. Standing in front of Ouma, he put his hands on both hips, a beaming grin on his face. “…Yeah, you got me a ‘little something’, did you?” Sounded like one of his lies. This was obviously overboard…in an incredibly heartwarming way. He didn’t need to do all of this. But he did—man, the astronaut was practically over the moon.

Stepping up closer toward him, grabbing the small male by the back of his head—he pulled him in to his robust chest…a soft embrace, showing his appreciation. “Thanks…this is amazing. I really love it.” His words were a whisper, speaking into the Supreme Leader’s ear…pushing him away lightly—he went back to his childish demeanor. Pointing towards the wrapped gifts, moving his hands almost hyperactively, the anticipation is practically killing him.

“Which am I supposed to open first, though?! Look at all of these…! Geez, y’know like how on a menu you can’t decide what to get ‘cause there’s too much to choose from? That’s my dilemma right now.”

it’s @astralheart‘s birthday!

Growing up, birthdays had never been a big deal for Kokichi. It was just another day he had to survive. Most of his friends didn’t know their exact birthdays, so those of them who did had quietly agreed amongst themselves not to make them a thing. DICE celebrated one birthday, for all of them, on New Year’s Eve, to mark that they’d made it through another year.

But Kokichi knew birthdays were important for most people. And, he’d realized, this birthday in particular was a big deal for him. The day the person he loved most had entered the world was certainly something to celebrate. 

Kokichi wanted to be the first thing his boyfriend saw on his birthday. A reminder that Kokichi would always be there beside him, in one form or another, no matter what. The astronaut would never be rid of him.

So Kokichi quietly picked the lock and entered Kaito’s dorm room shortly after midnight, and began to decorate. 

Kaito would wake to a room bedecked with balloons and streamers, a moon-and-stars pinata set filled with confetti and candy, two new potted plants, and a pile of gifts wrapped in Milky Way-patterned paper that could have come from the whole school, not just Kokichi (but they were all from Kokichi). 

Hey, he could afford to splurge, and he absolutely had.

Many of the gifts were humorous in nature - Astronomy for Dummies; a starry-furred plush toy of a horse wearing one of Kokichi’s extra scarves; a giant gift box that contained seven smaller and smaller boxes, only to reach a handful of fake lottery cards; a jack-in-the-box that had a plastic dick on a spring instead of a puppet; and a toy that looked like a stick of gum with one piece pulled partway out, but if you pulled the piece, it gave you a small shock. Some gay porn mags tucked inside high-level space science books, too. (Kaito had way too many straight dude porn mags for someone dating another guy, anyway!)

But Kokichi had put genuine thought and consideration into a few of them. A new set of workout gear; a 10,000-piece puzzle depicting a variety of potted house plants; a one-of-a-kind 1/8th model of the Curiosity Mars rover that Kokichi had commissioned himself; and, inside a simple envelope, a note declaring the hour of a dinner reservation for two at Kaito’s favorite restaurant, and two tickets to a movie that Kaito had mentioned wanting to see when it came out. Kokichi had not only bought their tickets, but completely bought out the entire showing, so it would be just the two of them.

When Kaito finally began to stir, Kokichi sat on the bed beside him, a rare smile of soft, warm fondness on his face. 

“Good morning, birthday boy~!” Kokichi hummed, leaning in to give his boyfriend a thorough kiss. “I might have gotten you a little something, nishishi~!”

[astralheart]

“Let’s see, there’s...six days to go. Yup, six whole days.”

withoutalignment said: Smirking back, Kokichi leaned his weight into the hand grasping his, trusting Kaito to keep him balanced as he lifted up to his toes to purr against his boyfriend’s lips, “Damn right you are~!”

Seeing as how Ouma was definitely trusting Kaito to keep him balanced, he wasn’t going to let him down—making sure he stayed up and perfectly stable as the small male brushed against the astronaut’s lips.

Kaito made a wry smile, rolling his eyes...but he was right. They were both lucky. The astronaut wouldn’t admit it, couldn’t say it, even though they were dating and Ouma knew it…but Kaito thought of himself as fortunate.

“You’re…” Ouma being so close as he was, the taller male stole a kiss—a brief, quick…peck of the lips. “…an idiot.”
