Summary: It's Anna's Birthday, and Yoh doesn't know what to get her. YohxAnna Song-Fic One-Shot
Birthday by Ice Tiger Girl
Yoh sighed. What should he give Anna for her Birthday? Everyone else had bought her present already, but he didn't even know what to get her. He thought back to their childhood. Back then she had always wanted a pet. Something she could care for. Just then he passed a pet shop. He looked up at "Piper's Pet Shop," an idea already forming in his head.
Anna watched Tamao as she set the table. She wondered whether anyone would remember that tomorrow was her Birthday. It was highly unlikely that anyone would get her a present. Well, Tamao would probably remember. You have to give her credit; she doesn't forget things like that. Anna remembered one of the songs Yoh listened to, which described her quite well. It was called "Birthday" by Meredith Brooks.
When's your Birthday
What's your middle name
Who's your hero
What's you favourite flavour ice cream
Can you tell me, tell me this
Are you Aries
Are you on the cusp of Cancer
Gonna get to know you better
What? No it's not a quiz
You can trust me
Now we'll dig a little deeper
Let's trade numbers
Let's trade beepers
So I can find you any place
Hey why you lookin' at you watch
We haven't had dessert
It's early, just 8:30
Only our first date.
I wanna know do you love me yet
Do you feel the same, am I your everything
I wanna know, isn't true love great
Come on tell me, when's your Birthday.
Yoh walked out of the pet shop holding a closed-top cat basket with two kittens in it. He walked home. Upon arrival, he quickly deposited the kittens in his room and went to ask Tamao something. "Tamao, can you prepare a special dinner for two for tomorrow evening. I'm going to have private Birthday celebration for Anna. Just me and her. But it's a surprise, so don't tell her." "Sure Yoh. It would be a pleasure to do so." Tamao blushed.
Anna walked past the kitchen. She glanced in and saw Tamao blush. Anna guessed what was going on. 'Yoh doesn't love me he loves Tamao' she thought with a pang of jealousy. Tears in her eyes, she dashed up the stairs into her room. In her misery, she failed to hear the small mews coming from Yoh's room.
Anna yawned and stretched. What was today again? Oh yeah her Birthday. Once more, Anna wondered whether anyone would remember. She got dressed and wandered downstairs. Suddenly, she realized that there were more people than usual in the living room "Anna!" Horo Horo called out, "Come here." Hesitantly, she entered. "Surprise" everyone called together, "Happy Birthday Anna!"
They all pushed to give her their presents first. Yoh smiled and said, "I'll give you your present later." Anna enjoyed the celebration with her friends immensely, but she was waiting with anticipation for Yoh to give her his present. The guests left at 6:30pm.
It was 8:30pm when Tamao came up and said, "Miss Anna, Yoh would like to see you in the dining room now " Anna went downstairs. Upon entering the dining room, her jealousy of Tamao evaporated. Yoh stood just in the door. The table was set for two, with a candle in the m idle. Beside one of the chairs was a present.
The time has come and it's finally here
Have a candle lit dinner
Or just settle down my dear
Whatever you like girl
Its all up to you
We could celebrate baby
Cause it's your Birthday
"Happy Birthday Anna!" Yoh said, bending down to pick up the present and hand it to her. She ripped open the paper like an excited child. Inside was a wicker basket. Inside were two adorable black kittens. "Oh they're so adorable!" nna Cooed, "I shall mane them Cleo and Lila."
Anna and Yoh sat down to a peaceful dinner, the kittens frolicking about them. Tamao brought in the food and lit the candle. It was so romantic. Until suddenly……..
Now close your eyes baby
And listen to the melody
Anything you me sweet just ask me
It's for us to share
So leave your problems up to me
Lets start you and me
And make this day history.
Crash! The kittens had made a pile of books fall on them. There was a strangled Meow! And Yoh went to rescue Cleo and Lila. He placed the last book on the pile and sat don again. He took one look at Anna, and burst out laughing.
Yoh and Anna had just finished eating. Anna was smiling contentedly. "So did you enjoy it?" Yoh broke the silence. "Oh, it was wonderful!" Anna leaned over the table, and gave Yoh a kiss. It lasted a few seconds, then she spoke again, "I loved it Yoh. Thank you so much!"
It's your Birthday, we could spend time together
We gon' celebrate, you and me
It's your Birthday, so baby blow out the candles
We gonna celebrate you know
It's your Birthday.
