[ she sets the bag on the counter when she follows him. ]

Just water's fine. And do you want some help?

[ He glances back at her before starting the water into the sink, pouring in a little washing up liquid. ]

It's alright, there isn't much it's just... [ Shrugs. ] You know. There's probably a fresh bottle in the fridge you can take.

[ He'll be having tea, so... ]

[ well, alright. she gets a bottle of water from the fridge before she just hangs back by the counter. ]

Busy day?

[ It only takes a few minutes, especially as he isn't drying them, to finish the dishes. Then he fills the kettle and switches that on. ]

Not bad, just long. I mean I was at 3 different places from early morning. What about you?

It was okay.

[ she has new jobs now too. she helps rei out sometimes at the advertising firm she works at sometimes and is a model for kashuu's fashion thing! she hasn't done much in both yet, though. ]

Tiring, but fun. [ oh dammit... she clicks her tongue when she remembers. ] I should have brought you flowers too.

[ After putting in the tea (loose and in a separate bag that England helped him buy) he turns to her, hand reaching out for hers. ]

No need... I have my flower right here. [ Woah... It's said gently, but that's more because he's entwining their fingers together too. ]

[ why is she speechless in both threads jfc

she moves closer to him when she takes his hand and rests her head on his chest. ]

Belated happy birthday, you.

[ Because despite being Useless he's Smooth...

He tucks her in against himself then, kissing her forehead. ]

Thank you. [ A beat, then: ] I hope you're going to feed me some of the cake as well, then.

[ rude tbh ]

[ he's so warm... it makes her relax a little into him. ]

Okay. Only because we're celebrating. You're out of birthday wishes now, though.

[ His hand shifts to rub her back, eyes watching the kettle boil the water. ]

And here I was hoping I could ask for a pony. [ well then ]

But you already have a horse, don't you?

[ in b4 liah says she forgot about it ]

[ i did............... i truly did. ]

A horse and a pony are different.

[ Because that explains everything [lonely] ]

[ that actually makes her laugh. she looks up at him now, a small smile on her face. ]

What's the difference between the two?

[ she's not stupid she knows but she wants to hear it from him. ]
