sakaki's birthday
twitter short story (2016)
OH MY GOD FINALLY SOMETHING ROMANTIC FOR MY BOYS. *sobs into the keyboard*
Tomo, you are the greatest friend/brother ever. ;______;
happy birthday, Professor Sakaki!
Tomo: Professor Sakaki, happy birthday.
Sakaki: It's unusual that you remember it.
Tomo: Anyway, since you gave me a present, I couldn't really ignore it. Here, your present.
Sakaki: A large sake cup of Kiyomizu ware, huh. That's pretty thoughtful for you.
Tomo: I went to Kyoto over winter break, so it's a souvenir. Since you did all the school stuff for me that whole time.
Yuki: Professor Sakaki! Happy birthday! wait, oh!! Tomo beat me to it!!
Tomo: Yuki, you still haven't given him a present? Did you not prepare anything until today?
Yuki: Well, the student council work just kept going on forever. And it took time to get the contents ready.
Sakaki: Well? What you're holding is awfully big, so what are you giving me?
Yuki: Tada, it's an oden pot! And I had Sonoda-san make the contents!
Yuki: With this, even when the food stall doesn't come to the school, you can eat oden anywhere, anytime! Isn't it awesome!!?
Sakaki: It's true I brought you to the oden stall, but that doesn't mean I especially like oden.
Yuki: That's true, but since I had a lot of fun that time, I thought it would be nice to savor that mood again with you.
Sakaki: I see, then your ulterior motive was you being able to eat the oden too.
Yuki: I wasn't really after the oden! Being with you is the important part! Well, since you don't eat in the cafeteria like we do, I wanted to make more opportunities to eat together.
Sakaki: Thank you, I appreciate the thought. Do you guys want to come to my room after this?
Yuki: Woohoo!
Tomo: I'll pass. That's sized for two.
Tomo: Bye, be back by curfew.
Yuki: Yeah.
Yuki: By the way, the contents are a birthday present from Sonoda-san. The fried tofu pouches don't just have mochi, oh god, there's foie gras and truffles inside!!
Yuki: Oh, I can't wait to find out what it tastes like.
Sakaki: After all, you're after the contents.
Yuki: It's both! Oden with Professor Sakaki♪ I can't wait♪
