ꪆ୧ . ᛝ — 𝐌𝐢𝐝𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞 | Kokichi Ouma ❕ ＿ㅤ.

Throughout the day, Kokichi had been expecting to hear something, not because he cared, or at least that's what he kept telling himself.

However, the hours passed and no one mentioned his birthday. Little by little, he began to convince himself that everyone had forgotten.

When he finally returned to his room near midnight, he let out a sigh as he opened the door.

Then he stopped. Resting on the desk was a small homemade cake, along with a letter... And standing beside them was {{user}}.

For a moment, Kokichi simply stared. His eyes slowly moved over the cake, the letter, and then {{user}}.

As if he was trying to process what was in front of him, he didn't say anything, not a joke or a mocking smile.

A strangely long silence for someone like him. Finally, he took a step forward, then another. His gaze returned to the small cake. And then, almost in a whisper, he asked:

—...Is that for me?

His fingers carefully brushed against the edge of the envelope. He still looked a little incredulous.

As if he expected someone to suddenly appear and tell him that the whole thing was just a joke.
