I forgot I still have your birthday gift.

The party wasn't the gift, by the way.

[doreimi]

You put together that whole party AND got me a gift?

Ha...you really weren't holding anything back, huh?

[penpoint]

I don't know how to do anything halfway, you know.

If I'm going to throw your birthday party for the first time in many years it's going to be the best I can.

[doreimi]

...

It was, you know. The best.

That really was the best birthday I've ever had.

[penpoint]

Of course it was. I was sure it would be.

[ Nevermind that he's never planned parties before this. ]

But I am happy it was to you, regardless. I didn't want to forget to give you this, and almost did.

[doreimi]

How did you end up getting home, anyway? You were pretty, um...

You know...

[penpoint]

I texted someone for help.

[doreimi]

Oh. That's good, that's really good. I'm glad.

I was trying really hard not to worry about you. I wanted to, but then I said to myself, no, Rohan's twenty-one years old and brave and smart. He'll be okay, he'll figure it out.

And you did! So see? I was right.

[penpoint]

I was fine, in the end. I probably would have been fine even without needing to message anyone.

I know it's a hard habit to break, but you don't have to worry about me.

[doreimi]

I know, it's pretty silly of me to fuss over someone two years older than me, right?

It's just because you're more important to me than anyone. It's natural to worry about your most important person, right?

[penpoint]

That's why I didn't leave until I knew you had a safe way home.

[doreimi]

oh




that's...how it is, huh?

[penpoint]

Hm?

Oh. Yeah.

[doreimi]

Hey...listen. I want you to know something, okay? Maybe it's just sentimental, but...

A few months ago, when it was Cordis and I told you the story of what happened that night at my house? I...left something out. There's one thing I remember that I didn't tell you. I said something to you, as I was pushing you out through the window.

If...that's enough, then good, and I'm glad that now you know. I won't make you listen to me say what it was. But if you want to hear it again, I'll tell you.

[penpoint]

...Would it be better to tell me in person? You can tell me.

[doreimi]

You already know, don't you.

Then you know why I didn't tell you before, right? Because...things were different then. I didn't want you to feel pressured by it, or anything. Especially since I was just finding out that you didn't remember it yourself.

[penpoint]

Probably.

Well, things are different now than they have ever been. Even I can see that, Reimi.

[doreimi]

Yeah...I know. I guess it's not that hard to figure out, huh.

"I love you". That's what I said. You were so little, and I was so scared, and I wanted you to know.

But now...

Now I want you to know that if I ever say that to you again, it won't be because I'm scared, and it won't be a little boy that I'm saying it to.

[penpoint]

[ oh, even though he thought maybe this was what she was going to say... and he has to take a little to take in every single word again and again. he reads her messages. why does he feel like she just gifted him something? in a way, at least. it means a lot to him. so much to him. ]

That's good to know.

[ That's the best he can come up with. Rohan's never used those words for anyone, at least not in his memories. ]

Thanks. I know I don't remember, but I'm sure it meant a lot to me then. And now.

[doreimi]

Good. I'm glad, then. Like I said...I figured you deserved to know the whole story. All of it.

[penpoint]

I appreciate it.

...I still have to give you my gift, Reimi.

[doreimi]

Yeah...

Do you want to come over?

[penpoint]

Yeah.

I'll be right over, if that's alright.

[doreimi]

Yeah, of course.

You know...the cafe's been doing pretty well, since we opened. I'm starting to think that maybe sometime soon, I should get a nicer apartment. What do you think about that?

[penpoint]

[ He'll answer on his way to her place. Texting and walking, Rohan? Tsk, tsk. ]

Good. And...I guess it depends on where. A nicer place is a perfect reward for some success, after all. Where were you thinking of moving to?
