I mean, I didn't have to do it, but I did. I made it last night, actually. I was always traveling when my birthday came up between training and other things, so I was excited to celebrate and didn't even think about just buying one.
[ and -- it's not like he doesn't have enough chroma or something ]
[He laughed again, pressing the phone between his shoulder and ear as he set down the dog bowl for Biscuit and went to grab Cake's bowl to get her food ready.
She leapt onto the counter, bell chiming as she waited.]
Well, them let me treat you to dinner or something since you already got yourself dessert. I didn't even know it was coming up, you should have told me! I would have gotten you something.
[ As if Cake can actually hear him. But he's happy to acknowledge the other being there. He happily is moving about the kitchen, cleaning up the remainder from his cake baking the night before. He's blushing a little, though it's not evident. ]
Dinner is good, then. And...well, I don't want anything, really. Just to spend time with someone I like. I don't want anyone to worry about it.
[He wished could think up a gift at the last minute, but there was no use fretting about it if JJ didn't want him to. So, he would just need to pick a good place for the birthday dinner to happen.]
[Or anything else, yes. The last bit got Makoto blushing though, not that JJ could see it. He did stammer a bit, though as he placed the bowl of food down for Cake to start chowing down.]
A-Ah... yeah. I mean, no! It wouldn't be a bad treat.

I suppose if I must. How old are you today? Six?
[Look, he had to. He chuckled again and then, made a soft, considering noise.]
Please tell me you didnβt make the cake yourself. You shouldnβt have to do that on your own birthday.

[ Hums. ]

What time would be good for you?

[ Or - you know, anything else. ]
Tomorrow is Triple Moons, too, and waking up next to you wouldn't be a bad post-birthday treat.

You're really cute, Makoto. Cake and dessert!
[ Makoto might be able to hear the :) emote in JJ's voice. ]
Can I make one request? That it's nothing too fancy, just easy going. Where company is more important...that sort of thing.
no subject
[He caught that :) and what cake and dessert actually meant.]
Sure, I can do that. Anything in particular youβd like though? Any kind of food youβre craving?

[ and a moment later -- ]
They have some pretty good specialties around the city. When I first got here, the seafood was the first thing I tried.
