-knock- -knock-
The door swung open. A look of surprise flashed on Mamoru's face. He did not expect to see Haruka and Michiru standing on his doorstep.
Haruka took the gaily-colored gift bag from her life partner and handed it to Mamoru.
"Happy Birthday Mamoru-kun."
Mamoru stammered a thank you before reaching a hand among the swathes of tissue paper. He pulled out the bottle inside and reading the tag, nearly dropped it. His ears burned red and his face flushed.
Michiru began to pull Haruka down the hall noticing Mamoru's embarrassment. "Please tell me you didn't…" she whispered.
Haruka allowed her love to pull her away. "Usagi told us that chocolate was your favorite," she tossed over her shoulder. She grinned as she watched the young man flush even more before escaping into his apartment.
Michiru gave the blonde next to her a pinch on the arm. "That wasn't nice embarrassing him on his birthday."
Haruka grinned back unrepentantly. "Usagi has done wonders for him, but he still needs to lighten up a little. He's way too serious."
