[He'll show up a short while later, with a small present, wrapped in very colorful paper. He figures it wouldn't be Akechi's taste, but he did want to do it anyway, as a sort of 'present for presents you missed out' type of thing.
Knock, knock, knock. When Akechi opens, he'll put the present in his hands.]
[When he opened the door he wasn't expecting to have a present handed over to him. He blankly stared at him for a moment and then to the present. Taste or not, this was something he was used to. Getting any kind of positive support or anybody to celebrate any holiday with him really. Glancing at him confused...]
How did you know it was my birthday? [That prompts the more important question.] Why? It wasn't necessary. I don't celebrate my birthday anyway. It's just another day where I get older.
[But despite what he's saying, deep down it is touching. As unusual as this was for him, he did appreciate it.]
What, you really think you were the only one who snooped?
[He had Futaba on his side, after all. The only thing he regrets is not knowing Shido was his father. That would have changed their dynamic so much more...but that was some time ago.]
Don't worry, I made sure the present wasn't as flashy as the paper. Should I call it your get-older present then?
[Inside, he would find a pair of new gloves, and tickets to an aquarium. Nothing really fancy, really. Something useful and something educational.]
... Right. You do have Sakura-san to turn to for information.
[That made a lot of sense, but to care when his birthday was was a different matter entirely. Scuffing lightly to the "get-older" comment, he opened the present. Gloves. It was something he used, but there was something so entertaining about it. And then the tickets.]

[He's not... too particularly worried about celebrating his birthday, so he hasn't even thought of it.]
no subject
And this coming from me...
[It's pretty...sad, honestly, that he wouldn't even notice. And yet it made sense.]
I've got something for you. Can I come over?
no subject
Sure. I don't mind.
