"Happy birthday!" an adoring voice spoke up as I turned to look at who it may be. It was my wife, Hikari. The two of us have been married for a year and a half and we've had our share of good and bad times and made it out with our marriage in tact. I know all her expressions, she knows all mine. As the same for our habits and personalities. The day began like every other day, but…today seems to be different.

"What's this…?" I asked, having absolutely no clue on what she's being all cheery for.

"It's your birthday present! Coffee, along with your favorite item the Fugue Mushroom."

"I know that…" I continued as I took the items and placed them safely on the table and looked back to her. "I'm talking about the 'birthday' thing."

"Oh that." she placed her finger on her bottom lip and leaned from side to side and then stood up straight as she continued. "You never told me your birthday, also you've said that you've forgotten it. So I thought, since we don't know your birthday…why not make the day we first met each other your birthday?"

"…that's…an odd thought…"

"But!" she pouted as she threw her hands down. "I wanted to celebrate your birth!" I felt my face flush for a bit. 'Celebrate the day of my birth…? Hm…no one has done that before…' I looked at the wooden flooring. "S-so…" she twiddled her thumbs as she stood in front of me. "…" Before she would continue, I lifted my head and stood up, kissing her on her forehead as I brought it close to me. Her face flushed red.

"Thank you." I smiled to her as she stood there silenced. I chuckled. "Thank you for being born." She flinched…it seems she came back to reality.

"That's my line!" my wife would pout, now taking my hands into hers. "Thank you for being born…Wizzy."

'What?' I arched a brow.

"…Wizzy…?"

"M-hm. It's my nickname."

"Why not just call my by my real name…?"

"You said you didn't want anyone else to call you by your real name. So~ when I'm around others….I'll just call you Wizzy! It'll be my special nickname for you." I felt my face grow warm as I watched her smile.

"…" I smiled back, nodding to her. "I see…I'll cherish that nickname….as how I cherish your name…"

Okay, I just have to say it... D' 333

Isn't it sweet? Well when I married the wizard, I thought... it was a bit sad for him to not have a day to celebrate himself. Also that he wouldn't tell us his birthday and his reason is that he forgotten, like how he forgot how we first met...(anniversary) So I decided to write a short story about a special day just for the wizard! What special day would that be? The day where you'd first meet him. I've forgotten what day it was... orz...
