Dom: You know I was planning on posting Akashi's chapter on the 24th of April because that marks the one-year point so that means I had to type up the guys before him and I was like okay, I can do that. Maybe 5 guys so 5 days, right? I can update everyday or once/twice a week, I can do that. I've done it before. I said that to myself around mid-March, but then… Finals came, last day of duties in the hospital, submitting of requirements, worrying about my grades, mom underwent operation, enlisting and enrollment for summer term then my summer classes started and speech comm is hell from the start (Everyday we have oral reporting). So, yeah, the past months has not been so kind to give me room to breathe. By the time, I realize that the 24th is near the only reaction I gave is "WTF". Then I went home to my hometown, hung out with my friends and fam bc I won't be able to come home at my sembreak bc we're gonna have extra classes so instead I'll be going home during the holidays. And right now, I'm a junior in a college :) I'm okay really :))))))

"I want to do something for Kagome-chan," Moriyama said out of the blue.

Kasamatsu blinked as he paused midway from putting his lunch into his mouth, "What?"

"I want to do something for Kagome-chan," Moriyama mumbled.

"What brought this on?" Kasamatsu asked as he arched a brow towards his best friend. He took a bite of his rice. "Did you screw something up?"

"What? No! Why do you automatically assume that I screwed something up when I want to do something nice for my girlfriend?" Moriyama pouted.

"Because you're you, baka," the raven haired captain snorted. "I wouldn't be surprised if Kagome-chan broke up with you because you messed up so bad."

"You're mean. Like really mean," Moriyama glared at his best friend. "You're my best friend! You're supposed to support me on things like this."

Kasamatsu snickered, "That's what good friends do. I'm your bestfriend, it's my job to be a shitty friend to you."

"Ha ha," Moriyama already killed his captain a hundred times in his mind. He huffed and crossed his arms across his chest. "I'm serious though. I really want to do something for Kagome-chan."

Kasamatsu rolled his eyes and gave in, "Okay. What do you plan?"

"I dunno."

"Oh my God, you're an idiot."

Moriyama laughed at his friend's reaction.

"And crazy too," Kasamatsu stood up from his seat. "I'm leaving."

"Okay, okay, okay," Moriyama sobered up, but occasional snickers came out of his mouth once in a while. "I'm serious now. Well, I noticed she's been stressed about school more than usual. With her being captain for the archery club and being head of the school committee, she never gets a breather. I bet she'll forget her birthday—which is by the way coming up soon—if we don't greet her."

"So what? You want to throw her a birthday party?" Kasamatsu stared at the other teen incredulously. "She's never one of parties, y'know?"

"I never said like party-party. Just a small get-together. With her close friends and the basketball team. A time to unwind and let her rest even for just a day."

"She won't agree to this. She'll rather do paperwork than spend her day 'wasting' to some 'nonsensical' thing like her birthday."

"Hence, a surprise party. And I'll need your help and our friends and her friends and possibly my future in-laws too."

"Quite presumptuous of you to think that you'll marry her. Who knows, she'll break up with you when she finds out about what you are planning."

"Stop being a bittermelon."

"Stop being an idiot then."

"Hurtful. Very hurtful."

"I will kill you, Moriyama-kun if you don't tell me where we are going," Kagome growled at him. "I'm gonna be late for the meeting."

"Relax, Kagome-chan, Suoh-sensei haven't arrived yet." Moriyama rolled his eyes at his girlfriend as he drags her towards the room.

"Don't think I haven't notice you dodging my question: Where are we going?" Kagome frowned to her tall boyfriend. "I will break up with you if there's something fishy is going on," she threatened.

"You love me~"

"I don't," Kagome huffed, but there was a fond smile playing on her lips.

"Sempai! Sempai!" Kagome's fellow member in the school committee ran towards them. "Suoh-sensei already arrived and he's looking for you."

"What?" Panic washed over Kagome's face for a moment before whirling her angry eyes to her boyfriend for distracting her. "You said he hasn't arrived yet—oh, you!" she sputtered before following after her kouhai, who was already rushing to the direction the meeting will be held, not even bothering to look back. She ran to the room and as soon as she stepped through the entryway, shouts of "SURPRISE" rang throughout the room.

"W-What?" Kagome froze in the doorway as she stared at the people inside the room. All her friends were here. From the archery club to the basketball team to the committee to her classmates and even from people in different levels, but managed to befriend, they were all here. Even some of her senseis! She thought as she spotted Suoh-sensei's indulgent smile from across the room.

"Happy birthday, Kagome-sempai!" Kise shouted as he held the chocolate cake with the "18" candles already being lit.

That was the cue for everyone to sing Happy Birthday and all Kagome could do was stare at them, still not believing that this is actually happening.

When they were done singing, Kise was already in front of her with a big smile etched in his handsome face, waiting for her to blow out the candles.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" she heard Moriyama's voice behind her. She felt the familiar warmth of his body against her as he stood behind her. "Make a wish," there was an obvious smile in his tone.

Kagome laughed and Moriyama noted it was shaky and a bit watery, but she did as she was told. She closed her eyes for a moment before taking a deep breath and blew the candles off. When every flame was extinguished, everyone cheered.

"You did this?" Kagome turned to him.

Moriyama shrugged, "I had some help." He smiled at her.

Kagome's blue eyes softened. She cupped his face and lowered his face to her level. Their lips met in a chaste kiss, "Thank you," she whispered against his lips when they parted.

Capturing her lips with his, Moriyama kissed her again. He grinned when he heard the cheers and whistles in the background.

"You are very welcome, my love."

The way she kisses him when he does something nice for her.

Dom: Okay, I'm back. Stressed and sleep deprived more than ever, but I'm fine. Totally fine. Really. Instead of reviewing for my 90-items long quiz for Economics tomorrow and sleeping early for my 7 am World Lit class, I typed this thing up. Anyway, guys, I know. I am absolute shit at updating, but my sched is really hectic. Mon-Sat is dedicated to my studies as a nursing/pre-med student with Mon-Wed as my duty hours in the hospital. Thurs-Sat are my lectures with my major and minor subs. And Sunday is my day to catch up on sleep and take a breather from our toxic sched. So, yes, I'm kind of busy. Hope that answers to the questions why I have not posted/written the sequel for Letting Go. You guys are not the only one excited because I really want to type his chapter up.

On another note, I wrote this bc I was inspired at what happened during my 17th bday almost 2 years ago. My friends did this. One of them pretended to go to the bathroom and wants me to accompany her then one of them came out of the classroom and told me our prof arrived and I ran bc I just arrived at school and shit and when I entered there was cake and I was being an idiot standing by the doorway bc I really did not expect they would do that. Plus, my bday is coming up on Tues so thought I should post this as an early gift to you since I like Hobbits and Hobbits give gifts when it's their birthday :) Also I'm really sorry for ranting to you guys :(
