Ushio POV oneshot

I own nothing, Shinkuro belongs to Arina Tanemura-sensei.

Happy Birthday to Me

The last thing I expected to see when I walked into the 'student council meeting' was Haine in my face, yelling "Happy Birthday!!!" in her cheerful wind chime voice.

A just as cheerful Maora also wished me a Happy Birthday, but it wasn't nearly as special to me as when Haine had said it.

Haine led me to the middle of the room, where Maguri and Shizumasa and... Grr, that idiot who calls himself a doctor were all standing, talking excitedly about how she and Maora had planned this party for me. I smiled in the way I only ever smile for Haine-chan.

Haine-chan is a really special person. She's so kind and caring, and she always puts others before herself...

Haine smiled at me and got me to sit down on the large plush couch in the middle of the student council office.

"Now it's time for you to open your birthday presents!" she exclaimed.

Everyone handed me little boxes wrapped in tissue paper. I wasn't used to getting this sort of special treatment, except from Haine-chan.

She saved hers for last. The little box was wrapped in light violet paper. I opened it very slowly.

It was a box with a little note attached. The piece of paper read:

Dear Ushio-chan,

You always keep to yourself so much, and are so mysterious, that I had no idea what you would want for your birthday this year, as you never tell me what you want...

Don't you see Haine-chan?!

..But you are such a wonderful person, Ushio-chan, that I want you to have a wonderful birthday. I don't know if you'll like the gift I gave you...

Haine-chan, how could you be so blind?!

...but I hope you have a wonderful birthday, because you're the best friend anyone could ask for!

-Love, Hanie-chan.

All I want is you! I love you too Haine-chan! You are wonderful!

I opened the box, and saw a necklace with a little silver charm on it, in the shape of a little flower. As much as I'd come to hate flowers over the years, with my title of 'Lady Hydrangea', the necklace was beautiful, and incredibly dear to me because it was a gift to me from Haine.

"Do you like it?" Haine asked me.

"Yes," I replied, smiling,"It's the most beautiful jewelry I've ever seen."

Haine immediately tackled me and hugged me tightly.

"I love you Ushio!" she cried.

"I know..." I replied, smiling once again.

One day I would tell her just how much I loved her in return.
