Seiji's Love Letters
Chapter 28 – Seiji's Birthday
Dear Shiharu,
The birthday party that you and the twins threw for me was such a surprise. It has been so long since anyone celebrated my birthday that I had forgotten it was my birthday. I was so shocked when you greeted me with "Happy Birthday" rather than "Welcome home" when I said "I'm home." I have been so preoccupied with the way the twins reacted when I told them about the upcoming move to Shizouka to live with their grandparents. There were no hints that you were planning something like this.
I could tell that you were not expecting Oikawa or Takeru for the birthday party. Their behavior was unacceptable so I hope you didn't mind when I threw them out. I admit I was very jealous when Oikawa grabbed you in a hug. It didn't help that you were so uncomfortable with his actions. With Takeru making such a racket, the only thing I could think to do was throw them out. In the past I would not have done anything like this but I remember how you threw them out of the house when I was sick because they were too loud. I wanted a nice, quiet birthday party with you and the twins.
The origami necklace from the twins was nice. I took it as a sign that they don't completely hate me after I told them about the upcoming move. Thank you for explaining to them that the moves does not mean that we don't love them but that there are a lot of people in Shizouka who also love them and want to get to know them better. I appreciated that Akane told me she loved me. It was a great opportunity to tell Aoi that I understood that he didn't really hate me because of the move and I was able express how much I love both of them
Thank you for the case for my glasses. I needed a case that fit in my pocket but I just hadn't found the right one yet. Also, thank you for the longevity elixir. It reminded me of our talk while we were on the ferris wheel at the amusement park. I hope you know how much it means to me that you listen to what I say and look deeper into what I mean. Thank you for wishing me a long life. I hope to spend a long and happy life with you.
Please keep reminding the twins that we love them and the move to Shizouka will be a new adventure for them. Aoi understands and does not like the idea. I don't think Akane has really processed what the move means yet. You have such a gentle and thoughtful nature that I know you can sooth their fears and encourage their excitement for the changes ahead. I know you have done wonders for me over the past two years.
Love, Seiji
