"I'm here!" Tsubaki said breathlessly as she reached the top of DWMA. Black*Star had insisted that they were to have a run around Death City to train and she couldn't possibly reject the pouting face that her lover seldom gave her. She wanted everyone to be happy, that was her wish for her special day.

"Tsubaki-chan's here! Yay!" Patty cheered in excitement as she pranced around the courtyard.

"Now is not the time to fool around Patty, we're going to be late for Stein's class." Kid said solemnly as he grabbed his two demon pistols shoulders, dragging them to class.

The dark arm weapon looked around in wonder, hoping at least someone would remember her birthday. She didn't need a grand celebration, she just needed a tiny party to make her feel warm in her heart something she had dearly missed since the passing of Masamune.

One can hope right? Thinking silently as she reached Stein's class settling in her seat. It saddened her little to see that no one really seemed to remember what big day it was, even after a year of chain resonance with her trio pair.

They all have things to do and Black*Star's a little muddle headed! She argued back, her doubts kept pestering her, thinking they were keeping her in the dark. She was jolted back to reality when the intercom came over and Lord Death's cheerful voice spoke, the sound bouncing of the walls.

"May Two-Star Meister Maka Albarn and her death scythe Soul Eater proceed to the Death Room." And it went off with an annoying beep that resounded throughout the foundation of DWMA.

Stein excused them as Maka bounded to the door with Soul lagging behind as per usual. "Something fishy is going on," Tsubaki murmured as she scribbled down what Stein wrote on the board, the only good thing that happened to her was that Stein was not doing his usual dissections.

"You're cooking fish for dinner Tsubaki?" Black*Star ask, his eyes drooping, threatening to make him fall into temporary unconsciousness.

"Sure," The black-haired beauty smiled warmly at her meister, not catching Kid along with Liz and Patty sneak out of the class like a shadow, Stein making no move to stop them.

The day came to a quiet end, the camellia flower trying to find the duo that seemed to disappear into thin air. She was worried sick for them, not knowing what dangerous missions they had taken on that required such skills, worse of, why wasn't she and Black*Star invited!?

She lumbered her way home, her minds swirling with thousands of thoughts that it would burst through the roof. To add on to her misery, no one remembered her birthday. She could only sink in despair right now.

Flicking on her lights, she cried. In front of her were all the Spartoi members and her favourite teachers and death scythes, screaming happy birthday.

"Kid! You owe me 88 bucks!" Liz hollered as she saw Tsubaki's reaction. They had been betting on it and Kid owed his twin pistols big time.

"Tsubaki-chan! Happy Birthday!" Patty squealed as she handed her a giraffe wrapped gift and a hug.

"Sweet 16 eh Tsubaki?" Maka said as she nudged her waist, linking arms with her, dragging her to the circle.

She was in awe as she saw the mountain of gifts. Different kind of sizes along with unique wrapping papers, it was easy to differentiate whose gift was to her.

"Well, we have to get back to Lord Death; he only spared us a little time." Azusa said as light glinted off her glasses, making sure that Spirit, Stein and Marie did not try to escape. Everyone sweat-dropped, knowing her Queen Committee personality was surfacing again.

Kilik stood up along with them, saying that Fire and Thunder wanted to commune with the Earth, Ox needed to study for the test that was coming up, vowing that he would win Maka. Then the chaos started, they went for each other's throat determined to prove who was not only the best meister and the valedictorian.

"Maka! Fight is uncool and we have a mission remember?" Soul sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair constantly, leaning against the assassin meister and weapon's door.

"Right!" His ash-blonde meister replied as Tsubaki allowed herself a little smile, knowing how they needed each other to get back on track at times.

"Tsubaki, I need to get back to the infirmary, there were injured patients that aren't healing so well..." Kim said sheepishly as she fidgeted with her thumbs, begging for forgiveness.

"It's alright. You've given me enough for my birthday." Tsubaki grinned happily at the people who were gathered at her house, grateful they had given her their precious time.

"Then we'll be going off now." The whole bunch waved, leaving her and Black*Star in awkward silence.

Black*Star pinned a camellia flower pin in her hair, before dropping to the floor, his leg crossed.

"Thank you Black*Star. For everything." She smiled ruefully at the bluenette, knowing that he will always be for her.

"No problem." He huffed, his turquoise eyes twitching with nervousness, his cheeks tainted red.

"Why did they leave so fast though?" Tsubaki thought blankly, unable to believe that her house was crammed with people minutes ago.

Black*Star punched her head lightly, chuckling a little. "You're really naive sometimes, Tsu-flower. They were trying to be subtle that their other gift is alone time."

Tsubaki let out an unexpected giggle, shocked that her lover used a big word correctly. "I'm surprised you managed to use 'subtle' correctly." She confessed as she wiped away the tears in her eyes.

"Shut up and kiss your god," Black*Star growled as his chapped lips claimed hers. Before she lost herself into Black*Star she thought: Subtle huh.
