AN: My new OTP KandaxAlma! Just a short one-shot for Kanda's B-Day, hope you enjoy!
"Really, Alma, you shouldn't have," he said, really…
"But it's your birthday, Yu!" the excited Korean cried, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"
Kanda grimaced, careful not to let Alma see, at the plate in his hands. Sure, he and Alma had had a close relationship for a couple years now, they had already done That to boot, something he would never quite accept as 'natural' (enjoyable, but not natural), but Alma always seemed to forget one crucial detail about his special partner:
He despised sweets.
Kanda was type to pile on the wasabi whenever they went to a sushi bar together and never once ate the Valentine's Day chocolates the girls at the university gave to him. They still didn't seem to get the fact that he was gay. Maybe he ought to give in to Alma's incessant demands that he give some PDA around campus, something he had resolutely refused to do up to this point.
Needless to say, Kanda loved his partner to death, but when Alma had come forth with Chef Zhu's Super Sweet Chocolate Raspberry Fudge Cheesecake, he couldn't help but feel a little put out.
"Let's eat!" Alma cried joyously, shoving a large forkful of cake into his mouth, eyes lighting up as he smiled, "It's so good!" he said, spewing a few crumbs.
Kanda suddenly came up with an idea. He put his own cake down and tilted Alma's chin up towards him, "Why don't you give me a taste?" he said, pressing his mouth against his partner's.
As he expected, the cake was ridiculously sweet, but he found that he could tolerate it like this. When they broke apart, Alma looked at him accusingly, his cheeks bright red.
"You could have just eaten your own," he grumbled, "There's no need to do it like that."
Kanda shrugged, wrapping his arms loosely around Alma's waist, "It's my birthday, I can do whatever I want. Besides," He gave his partner another soft kiss, "It's tastes better this way."
Alma buried his head against Kanda's chest, "So do you like your present?" he mumbled.
Kanda was so happy that Alma's head rested so perfectly under his chin, "I love it," he said, nuzzling his partner gently.
Later that night, as Kanda listened to the gentle breathing of his partner, he decided that he definitely preferred these types of birthdays. There was no Lavi to bug him or force him to where a lame party hat, no Lenalee insisting he do something over the top special that involved inviting loads of people, and no pesky Moyashi handing him his present begrudgingly. No, Kanda liked spending a quiet evening in his dorm with his roommate and adoring partner, asleep on his shoulder from staying up late watching all the Harry Potter movies, with overly sweet cake and cuddling and kissing. Yes, Kanda definitely liked this kind of birthday, he didn't always need intense sex to be satisfied that Alma loved him. Besides, he knew that if he had his way (which he almost always did), he wouldn't have to wait too long for that either.
So for now, Kanda was more than content to snuggle with his sleeping partner some more.
