Disclaimer: If I owned the Silver Pair, they'd be an official couple in the series.(not that you can deny their behind-the-scenes love ; )

Now... Onward to the fluff!


"Mou, Shishido-san stood me up."

Choutarou stood alone in the plaza. He had been waiting for Shishido since noon, but it was already dark, and Shishido still hadn't shown up. Choutarou gazed longingly at the couples passing by and wished that he and Shishido were like one of those couples.

Choutarou pouted, "Hmph, and he promised too…" He fiddled with his jacket absentmindedly, "Today would have been my first birthday together with Shishido-san…"

Choutarou mumbled to himself dejectedly for a few moments. Then he shook his head furiously and his eyes took on a gleam of angry determination. He was going to Shishido's house to demand and explanation and an apology while he was at it.

Choutarou stood at Shishido's door, finger poised to ring the doorbell. Now he was having second thoughts. What if Shishido-san was at the plaza now, and was looking for him? Choutarou lightly patted his cheeks. Focus Choutarou! he thought to himself. With his newfound determination, he rang the doorbell.

He waited. No one answered. Shishido had told him that his family had gone somewhere for the day, but Choutarou could see some light from inside when he peered in though the glass. That meant that Shishido was home.

"Why isn't he answering…?", Choutarou grumbled to no one in particular.

After ringing the doorbell and waiting again, Choutarou became frustrated. He fished around in his pockets for the extra house key that Shishido had given to him.

"If he's not going to let me in, I'll just have to let myself in…"

Choutarou opened the door quietly and looked around, "Pardon the intrusion..." He slipped his shoes off and padded down the hall to the kitchen, where a light was on. The sight he came upon there was enough to make all his anger and frustration at Shishido melt away.

Shishido had fallen asleep on the counter, halfway through putting the finishing touches on a cake that read "Happy Birthday Choutarou!". The kitchen was a mess, and there were at least three blackened lumps that Choutarou assumed were failed attempts flung about the kitchen.

Choutarou maneuvered his way though the mess, taking a seat next to Shishido. Realizing that Shishido had gone through all this trouble even though he must have been exhausted from all his extra training, Choutarou smiled softly at Shishido and lightly kissed him on the cheek. Now that he thought about it, he was exhausted too. But as he began to nod off, he was startled awake when Shishido stirred and started mumbling in his sleep.

"…Happy Birthday… Choutarou…"

Choutarou blushed and smiled happily at Shishido's sleeping form. As his sleepiness began to catch up with him, Choutarou managed to whisper softly in Shishido's ear.

"Arigatou ne, Shishido-san…"


Mochi: Review pleaaaaaaase! bribes with Shishido's cake
