"Why did you have to attack me like this?"

"I'm going!" Nozomi shouted as she walked towards the front door.

"Be careful on your way," Kiko reminded her twin as she peeked from the living room.

"I will."

Nozomi left their home at ten in the morning. She was supposed to meet Tsukasa in thirty minutes.

The girl just wore a light blue sundress and covered it with a soft gray cardigan. She also wore her mint green sandals and her reading glasses as she forgot to take them off earlier.

Nozomi walked to the convenience store where they first met. It was around Toaru city where they first met. The girl had asked the blonde what he was doing when they first met at the store. He said that he was going to visit a relative nearby.

"Were you waiting long?" Nozomi asked as she approached Tsukasa who was standing and leaning his back against the wall.

He looked at her in awe as this is the first time he saw her in this type of clothing.

She was mesmerizing and utterly beautiful, Tsukasa thought.

"Tsukasa?" she called causing the blonde to snap out of his thoughts.

"No, no. I didn't wait that long," he said and smiled, trying to hide his flustered look a few seconds ago.

"Oh, that's good," Nozomi mumbled and smiled at him.

Tsukasa realized the brown paper bag he was holding and handed it to his girlfriend.

"What's that?" Nozomi questioned.

"Your birthday gift."

The girl frowned but slowly took the paper bag from him. She opened it causing her eyes and mouth to widen at the contents.

"Tsukasa..." Nozomi trailed off as she looked up to see him smiling at her reaction.

"What?" he cheekily asked.

"These—Aren't these baking materials a bit expensive?" Nozomi asked worriedly.

The blonde sighed and stepped closer to her. "It's fine, alright?"

"But, you didn't have to—"

"Nozomi," Tsukasa called causing the girl to look at him. "You're an important person in my life. I can't just give you something cheap and effortless gift. I want to give you that's worthy for someone as perfect as you are."
