Bao woke up and frowned. Today was his birthday which he usually spent with Aguma but Aguma and the other legendary bladers were on a mission so he would be alone this year.
After breakfast he decided he might as well go train since he didn't have anything else to do.
When he came back home it was late and he decided he might as well go to bed since he didn't have anything better to do.
"Happy birthday to me"he said before laying in bed. Then he heard a knock at the door.
Maybe Aguma got back early. Bao smiled and opened the door but frowned when a girl was at the door.
"If you're here for Aguma he's gone"he said sounding a little meaner than he meant to since he was disappointed it wasn't his friend.
"No i'm here for you"the girl said.
"Your Ryo's assistant aren't you? What could you possibly want with me"Bao asked.
"My name's Hikaru. I heard it was your birthday and I came to wish you a happy birthday" The girl said smiling.
"Who told you it was my birthday"Bao asked.
"Aguma was telling me about it. He seemed disappointed that he couldn't be here"Hikaru explained. "Are you here alone"Hikaru asked trying to peek inside his house but Bao stepped in her way.
"So what if I am why would you care"Bao asked.
"No one should spend their birthday alone. Can I come in"Hikaru asked. Against his better judgement Bao stepped aside and let her in.
"Do you have a cake"Hikaru asked.
"No"Bao said frowning.
"It's a good thing I brought this it might not be a cake but it's better than nothing"Hikaru said pulling out a cupcake out of her bag. Bao was surprised he had been so busy before he didn't even see her bag.
"Hope you like chocolate"Hikaru said placing a candle on the cupcake.
"It's my favorite"Bao admitted.
"Good" Hikaru then lit the candle and sang happy birthday to him. Once she was done he blew out the candle and started eating the cupcake.
"Close your eyes"Hikaru said.
"What why"Bao asked looking at her suspiciously.
"Come on just do it"Hikaru said smiling at him. Bao just rolled his eyes then closed them.
"Now hold out your hands"Hikaru said. Bao did as he was told and when he opened his eyes he had a small box in his hands.
"What's this"he asked.
"Open it and find out"Hikaru said.
"When he did he saw that it was a new launcher.
"Aguma mentioned that your old one was about to fall apart so I got you a new one that's designed like your old one with a few added perks"Hikaru said.
Bao just looked at the launcher shocked. It was beautiful just like the girl who gave it to him.
"Why are you being so nice to me"Bao asked.
"I spent a few birthdays alone and it's no fun so I figured you might like someone to spend it with even if you don't know me"Hikaru said.
"I appreciate it"Bao said.
"So was there anything special you wanted to do for your birthday"Hikaru asked.
"Well I guess we could watch a movie if you want"Bao said.
"Sure"Hikaru said sitting on the couch. Half an hour later Hikaru was asleep curled into Bao's side and he just smiled.
This had been a great birthday and he felt like Aguma had something to do with it.
