Taking a walk on memory lane ✨️ ... on the birthday of the great Mr. Tennant, who stole my heart from the beginning in 1986. He has never given it back ever since, and that's a good thing! (Chris, I luv u, too!) ♡
In honour of this occasion, I've put together some of my favourite moments from the Berlin concert during PSB's Dreamworld Tour on 11 June 2022 plus a short sequence of the It's Alright music video from 1989, one of my most beloved PSB songs to this day. ☆
thinking of little omi wanting a dog but his parents tell him he has to earn it because it's a big responsibility for someone as young as he is. so, he sets up a piggy bank to save up for adoption fees. he doesn't tell his parents about it because he wants to show them when he's saved up enough money.
surely if he has the money that means he's responsible enough right?
in the following months, omi sets aside a fraction of his daily allowance to put into his piggy bank.
it's slow-going until his siblings find the piggy bank labeled with "dog savings" in omi's messy scrawl. they're so charmed by their baby brother's antics that they slip in their own spare change behind omi's back.
they never tell him of course because knowing their brother —their sweet and earnest little brother — he would want to do this on his own.
by the time omi's 10th birthday comes, his piggy bank is practically bursting at the seams. he holds it tightly in his little hands as his family sings him a happy birthday.
when it's time to blow out the candles and he has to make a wish, he lifts up the piggy bank and tells his parents how he's been saving up the past few months. that he has enough to pay for the adoption fees. that he's 10, and he's a big boy now, ready for big boy responsibilities.
"i'm responsible enough for a dog now, right?" he would then ask, eyes bright with earnest hope he tries so hard to tamp down just in case they say no. his parents would exchange surprised looks followed immediately by shaking heads and laughter. lots of laughter. omi is rightfully confused. he frowns.
are they laughing at him? the thought makes him flush in embarrassment. his dad leaves the room, still laughing. when he comes back, it's with a box that's almost a little too big for omi. the birthday cake lays forgotten, candles melted, as omi looks curiously at the box in front of him, then to his parents, and then his siblings, and then back to the box.
his older brother nudges him to open it and when he does, omi doesn't know what to do with himself. the akita puppy yipping at him in the box was too much for 10-year-old omi to bear that he starts bawling.
he's hugging the puppy to hide his tears, and in the background he hears cooing and more birthday wishes from his family.
see, his parents had always intended to give omi a dog the moment he asked. omi rarely asked for anything so whenever he did, his parents were always more than ready and excited to give it to him. however, this time, they waited until his birthday because, admittedly, they had a hard time thinking of what to get him.
it seems they made the right decision watching their son pet the akita in quiet awe. they're happy that their little boy loved his birthday present but when they see his dejected little pout a little while later followed by a sad, "i saved for nothing then..." they knew they had to make right with him (not really but what is omi if not their precious youngest).
and that's how omi ends up with not one but two puppies for his 10th birthday.
in which they find a plushie of you in their dorm room

characters: jade leech, floyd leech
content: silly eels and their silly antics, a birthday present for my favourite boys ^^
reader is not yuu, reader is gender neutral
oya? what a pleasant surprise you have for him, prefect.
it actualy caught him off guard when he saw it on one of his pillows
as he examined and took in all the details of the plushie, he saw a little paper tied to its arm
this was a gift you yourself made, just for him? oh, he's honored. he adores it, simply for the fact that you took time and effort to make him such meaningful gift.
he had this silly, lovesick smile on his face as his gloved hands linger on the plushie's face, fully intended to cuddle with it that night.
it may not feel as complete compare to you, but this will suffice. he thought, pressing his lips on the plushie's forehead, as if you were right there in his arms.
maybe, he should plan a picnic in the forest, just the two of you.
awww, little shrimpy gave him a mini shrimpy!
his first reaction was to squeeze it as hard as humanly possible and shake it around like a pinball.
it's not his fault that the plushie was so cute, and it looks like you! he has a wide happy grin on his face as he hugged the plushie close.
only then he saw the letter on the plushie's arm, crumbled under his tight grip.
once he read it, the grin only got 100x times brighter as he squeezed the plushie, kicking his feet lightly.
aww, shrimpy. your gift really made his day. and he was very vocal about it, too, to the point he brought the plushie to his birthday party at school.
he's gonna either squeeze you hard or smooch you silly the next several times he sees you. probably both, if he can help it.
