There was always that one moment in everyone's life when you feel like everything is too much, that you can't handle something and you wish for it to just go away by itself or pass it down to someone else, oh that would've been delightful. Splendid indeed...

Unfortunately Reijo had other plans for them as a group. He decided by himself that they'll have a birthday celebration, and since Camus didn't really like surprises, he decided to make it a whole planning day and then at night the celebration. Camus was tired, to say the least, to plan a party and then celebrate it knowing pretty well he will most likely go and sit by the dessert area.

"This is not the idea I had for my birthday, not that I celebrate it with that kind of pride anyway" Camus said while he and Danima walked down the isle of one of the stores Reiji oh so insisted on going.
It was for the decorations, and Danima already had some light blue poppers, wall decoration and a bag of fake snowflakes
"Look, not that I'm a fan of celebrating you either, but you have to understand that, deep inside, they do care about you, so you have to stop being a snake, enjoy life a little bit" she said while both of them stopped to look at some table tops
"You sound so immature, Danima. We are not kids anymore, birthdays are enjoyable when all you have to worry about is getting ready and blow the candles" he huffed, he wasn't hurt by her comment, but it came out as a rude one, to this, she sighed again
"Look, Camus, there's a reason I'm trying to enjoy everything I didn't have as a kid. You are a traumatized man who clearly needs attention-"
"How dare you-" he interrupted but then got silenced
"-all I'm saying is, you have people who truly care for you, even me, so quit being pissy and enjoy the moment. Besides, you have a girlfriend and she seems very hyped about each of your birthdays. Give her a rest and stop whining" she finished, before said girl walked up to them, wrapping an arm around each sibling
"Tell me you're not fighting over something stupid this time" Jiwa said, well, more like ordered
"Don't worry, Ji, no arguments today. Oh, I'll take a look at the piñatas" Danima said before disappearing into the store again. Camus sighed in annoyance, making Jiwa turn around to face him
"So you don't want to celebrate?...well, I'll tell Reiji to invite our senpais now. Appreciate that we care" she smiled, kissed his cheek and then walked away.

And the day was just starting...

By the evening, the group of idols, their manages and the plus one where back in the master course. So Reiji had the great idea to make the party in the garden instead of the salon, so here they were, aggressively decorating the bushes and the few tables that were outside. But, for his amusement, Reiji made Camus sit by the shadow and watch the others, as he was the 'birthday boy'. Well, he wasn't going to complain, so he went and sat down, he found it funny how they went from barely speaking to each other to now having full on length conversations. Specially Ai who only spoke when necessary. While he looked away, he failed to notice Jiwa sitting beside him with her arms crossed
"Well, look at that, they're getting along" she said, nudging his side
"They've been for quite a while..." Camus replied
"And you? What about you?" She asked, making him look at her
"...I guess I can stand them now more than at the beginning..." He replied, making Jiwa smile at him
"There we go, now that's the spirit" Jiwa said before she walked away, but of course, left something behind. Camus picked it up right away, opening the small box without any doubt. Inside, he found something he had truly wished for,  but was surprised to see the Belgium chocolates he has been craving for
"Oh yes, I knew she'd choose those" Danima said as she walked over to him
"What are you talking about?" He asked
"Jiwa wanted to gift you something special, so I told her you've been craving those like a pregnant lady. I hope you like them" and then she walked away.
He didn't know what was more strange, that Jiwa trusted Danima's decision making or that Danima was aware that he craved those chocolates.

He wasn't going to complain. After all, it was a well thought present. One he was going to eat right away with a thankful mind...for now.
