It was Ahune's birthday. Of course, no one cared, and Ahune learned to not care. He called Neptulon to thank him for creating him, and then sat back down on the couch to relax.
"MAYBE I'LL GET SOME PREMIUM ICE CREAM TODAY INSTEAD OF THE USUAL…"
Out of the blue, Ahune heard a knocking on the door.
"WHO COULD THIS BE?" Ahune wondered.
As he peeked through the peephole, he sweltered when he saw that Ragnaros was the source of the knocking. Carefully, Ahune opened the door. Rag was holding a lidded metal pot in his free hand.
"WHAT IS IT FIRELORD?" Ahune asked.
"INSECT, IT IS YOUR BIRTHDAY, IS IT NOT?"
"YES…" Ahune hesitantly answered.
Ragnaros looked away, and his face looked a tad bit redder than usual. He stretched out his hand to offer the pot to Ahune.
"WELL, I HAVE PREPARED YOU ICE CREAM AS A GIFT,"
Ahune opened the pot lid. Inside was white, creamy liquid peppered with black dots of chocolate cookie.
"BUT IT HAS MELTED."
Ragnaros's face was definitely redder than usual.
Ahune looked at Ragnaros, and at the 'ice cream' in the pot, and then back at Ragnaros. As he did so, his eyes started to swell and his breathing started to accelerate.
"THANK YOU…" stuttered Ahune.
Suddenly, Ahune rushed forward and gave Ragnaros a hug. His arms reached under Ragnaros's arms, and Ahune placed his head on Rag's chest. Steam came off of the two, and Ahune grimaced a bit from the increase in temperature.
Ragnaros then raised his arms and pulled Ahune in. He started to pat Ahune on the back.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY… AHUNE."
