[Using Yuji's own words back at him feels cheap, but they're also the truth. Should he maybe write something down instead? That's something to consider.
He finally looks up at Yuji now, practically glowing.]
It was all so very thoughtful. I don't know what to say.
I wanted to get you something good, but I couldn't think of anything you'd like more than anything else, so I just got all the things I thought of and put them together.

He finally looks up at Yuji now, practically glowing.]
It was all so very thoughtful. I don't know what to say.
[He grins a little, thinking about it.]
And cute. Like the tiger.
no subject
[ He's blushing, embarrassed and looking away. ]
I thought the tiger could remind you of me.
no subject
[He rests his forehead against Yuji's. No looking away now.]
That's what I thought the moment I saw it.
[But it's his turn to look a little sheepish, despite the bright smile on his face.]
All I did on yours was the cake...
no subject
[ Nudging their noses together, gentle and easy, because he's comfortable like this. He's happy. He's allowed to do this. ]
I didn't need more than getting to see you. I've never celebrated a birthday before, so it was good.
no subject
[One day, maybe soon, Raidou will tell him about his friends from back home.
He wants to stay here in his arms all night, still too overwhelmed to want to let him go.]
Were you looking for something here? Anything I can help with?

Because... ]

Don't be silly. You got me more than enough already. Don't worry about it. Truly.
no subject
[ He's devastated. Worst boyfriend ever. ]
no subject
You made me candies. You made me flowers. And you wrote me the sweetest words anyone's ever said about me. I think you're off the hook on a cake.
no subject
Really...? They were the sweetest ever?
no subject
[Some red sneaks into his face now, admitting that out loud.]
no subject
[ Cute... He's so cute... ]
I meant all the words as well. Not just because it's your birthday and I forgot the cake.
no subject
[Raidou leans in to give Yuji a quick, light kiss.
Maybe he's not the best at voicing his thoughts, but when he does, they tend to be fairly straightforward.]
Thank you, Yuji. It's just... Knowing you're this special to someone, it really changes everything, doesn't it?
no subject
It does. It makes your head think differently, I think.
[ A little, at least. He's still not... Great... But... ]
no subject
Raidou does have one question, though.]
... Were you looking for something in here?
[Yuji has never seemed much like the library type. Raidou should know, he's there pretty frequently.]
no subject
[ Even more sheepish now... ]
I thought you wouldn't find me in here, since it's not normally where I go. I got embarrassed.
no subject
I hope you're still not embarrassed. You shouldn't be.
Though, I do have a confession to make.
[He then takes Yuji's hand that has the ring on it gently by the wrist, and holds it up to show that off.]
I cheated to find you.
no subject
[ Stressing over nothing, it seems… Yuji smiles, leaning in to kiss Raidou again, quick and soft. ]
I should’ve thought of that, huh…
