A Thousand Winters with You (Chifuyu x reader)

SPECIAL CHAPTER: BIRTHDAY BOY

December 19, 2005 (few days before the secret battle with BD)

"Takemitchy, you better not spill anything about my surprise for Chifuyu."

"Don't worry, I won't tell a single soul!" He raised his left arm promising me he will keep it a secret.

"Idiot! You're supposed to raise your RIGHT hand!" I irked at him and he got nervous and raised his right hand in an instant.

"Seriously, Takemitchy. Are you really 26 years old??" I crossed my arms in front of my chest and glared at him.

"Y-yes." He sweat drops.

"Remember, keep him busy and distracted while I'm preparing my surprise for him. Oh and I'm still mad at both of you for teaming up with Kisaki. I'm just noticing you guys right now since it's Chifuyu's birthday." He nodded and left to go meet up with Chifuyu.

Now I just need to ask Emma-chan to help me bake a cake.

I went back home and rushed to find Emma and tell her I have the ingredients ready.

"Emma, I'm home~!"

"Welcome back, [name]! You can place the ingredients on the table while I prepare the utensils."

After placing the ingredients, I wore an apron and washed my hands. Emma looked at me teasingly while I'm thinking of the cake's design.

"Hmm? What are you looking at?" Emma grinned at me before answering.

"Hihi you've always been the type who is cold and unaffectionate, and I'd never thought you'd finally date someone since you also hate people so much,." My eyes widened to what she said and I can feel my face heat up in embarrassment.

"I-it's because Chifuyu is..."

"Iiiis??" She leaned closer to my face and gave a teasing look and grin.

"Forget it. I can't explain why I like him... I just know that whenever I see him, I feel butterflies in my stomach and I feel like I want to be vulnerable around him and him only. Something like that." Emma covered her mouth and she looks surprised to what I just said.

"What's wrong?" I gave her a concerned look.

"You silly! You are definitely in love with him!" She hit my shoulders and laughed.

"Shut up. Let's get started. I bet Takemitchy is struggling to keep Chifuyu busy."

While we're waiting for the cake in the oven, Emma suddenly spoke in a serious tone after teasing me the whole time we're making the cake.

"[name], let me change the topic a little. You may not show it, but know you and Mikey are still affected with Baji-kun's death and feel like everything is falling apart..." I looked at Emma with wide eyes and I feel something heavy inside me.

"Big sis, keep holding on for Mikey, okay? I will do the same for the both of you!"

"Sure." I smiled at her and we hugged each other.

"I'm so lucky to have a little sister like you, Emma-chan."

...

Chifuyu's POV

"Aibō, is everything okay? You've been acting really nervous ever since this morning."

"Y-yeah, it's just that I have a lot in mind going on so—ah! Anyway, you and [name] have been dating, right?"

"Mhm. I bet she's still mad about us teaming up with Kisaki."

"Yeah, she definitely is..." Takemitchy looked away keeps on fidgeting his fingers.

I wonder if she'll come see me today, on my birthday?

I stood up from my seat and Takemitchy looks like he is panicking.

"W-where are you going?!"

"For a walk and I want to see [name] today so I might go to their place." As I was about to walk away, Takemitchy ran in front of me and T-posed to stop me.

"W-wait a sec! Are you sure about that??"

"Yes. There's nothing wrong with seeing my girl and apologize, right?" I continued walking and Takemitchy is still trying to stop me from going to [name]'s place.

What's this guy's problem? I want to be with my girl.

"Y-you can't, Chifuyu! [name] is still mad and uhh well uhm... right! In the future, the two of you don't get a long because well I uhh—" Takemitchy stopped speaking and his eyes widened when he saw something from behind me. I turned around to see [name] walking up to me and she's holding a box in her hands.

"H-happy birthday, Chifuyu." She said with her head down, refusing to make eye contact with me. I looked at what's inside the box and saw a small cake.

"Happy 14th Birthday, Chifuyu!
from [name] xoxo"

I took the cake from her hands and I cannot say a word to thank her. I am speechless.

"I'm still mad at you two, but what happens within the gang, stays in the gang. In other words, gang stuff and personal stuff are separate." She said while still looking away and she pouted.

Awe she's so cute as ever!

"[name], I apolo—" she stopped me from talking by putting her palm a few inches away from my face.

"Save that for after the battle. I'm going now; Mikey is making me work today." She turns around and walks away.

"Chifuyu, I like you a lot!" She added and finally left.

"WOAH!! So cool!! She made you a cake!! Man, you're lucky!" Takemitchy pats my back, making me almost drop the cake, but luckily I managed to maintain balance.

"Oi, aibō! I almost dropped it!"

"HAHAHA let's go sit down and enjoy the cake!"

"No!"

"EH?! Why not?!"

"She made this cake and I will eat it all by myself! Go ask Hina to make your own cake!"

Takemitchy and I have been arguing about eating the cake, but in the end I let him have a slice since I was just fooling around about not letting him have a taste.

[name], thank you! I like you a lot too!

-end of special chapter-

Ngl, I almost forgot to include Chifuyu's birthday. Oof! Anyway, I'm gonna be busy this week so I'm not sure when will be the next update.

Also, I'm having a Haitani Rindou brainrot so I'm also currently writing a fanfic about him in my drafts.

Basically I'm writing a Sanzu Haruchiyo Route and a Haitani Rindou Route for my stories.
