Here's the first of the birthday drabbles, starting with Marui and the theme of cake. Who doesn't love a bit of cake on their birthday?

Cake
It was April 20th, Marui's birthday, but none of his family were around to celebrate it with him. His brothers were away on some school trip, his dad had been called away on some last minute business trip and his mum had been called into work since one of her co-workers had fallen ill. To make matters worse, Niou and Akaya hadn't even called him.
Marui shook his head his head and sighed. It wasn't their fault, if he had wanted to spend his birthday with them then he should've asked. Still, they could've at least sent him a text…
Marui sighed again and tightened his grip on the plastic bag that he had in his hand. They had run out of the basic essentials (bread, milk, etc.) so Marui had nipped out to the shops. He was just about home so he dug around in his pocket for his keys and opened the front door. Marui stepped inside the threshold and listened to…
"Fucking hell!"
…Not quite the silence he had been expecting. Marui walked into the kitchen, the source of the noise, and immediately burst out laughing at what he saw. A flour covered Akaya was lying on the floor with Niou sitting on top of him. An upside down bowl sat on top of the Trickster's head, cake batter slowly dripping down his face and on to his clothes. Niou lifted the bowl slightly and glared at the laughing tensai.
"Shut the fuck up, Bunta." Niou growled. Marui, with much difficulty and lip biting, stopped laughing and helped his two boyfriends up.
"Sorry." Marui said grinning. "You both looked so funny though!"
"Shut up." Akaya grumbled, turning away from Marui. Marui stopped grinning and held up his hands in defeat.
"Sorry, sorry." Marui apologised again, crossing his arms. "But what are you guys doing here anyway? I mean, I appreciate it but I don't remember asking you to come over or anything…" Niou snorted.
"It's your birthday, idiot. We decided to make you your favourite cake to celebrate." Niou cast a sceptical glance at the mess. "Well, tried to anyway." Marui felt tears of happiness coming to his eyes; someone had actually remembered! He pulled both of his boyfriends into a hug.
"'Haru, Aka-chan, I love you both so much!" Marui cried, smiling happily.
"O-oi, Bunta-senpai! We're covered in cake mixture! You'll get dirty!" Akaya exclaimed as he struggled to get away from the redhead. Marui tightened his grip on the duo.
"I love you guys!"
