[closed] But Even So...
Who: Ai Thao (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
emotive) & Archer (swordboning)
When: 6/15 (IC) | 3/31 (OOC)
Where: Shopping District; Various
What: Ai doing some early birthday shopping, Archer butts in.
Rating/Warning: None!
[ June 21st is approaching.
Back home, only Lien ever really celebrated with her. It was their shared birthday after all. Everyone else gave their well wishes, polite, but distant. Maybe, just maybe, this time Ai thinks she can take charge for herself and make her day something enjoyable and something to remember. (And sometimes she thinks of how she could have celebrated the other girls birthdays too. They deserved that much, not just her.)
Also, it wasn't just her birthday she was happy about. She was definitely happy about a certain person's birthday after she visited him. (And Ai hoped what she did wasn't too much...)
Ai can be found in the shopping district, grocery bags in hand, and looking into a pastry shop full of weird alien cakes. She wrinkles her nose at a particular cake as it stares back at her. Dear god, let's hope it's not alive. ]
Hmmm. No, I don't think even I'd eat that...

Go on...

So...
It takes her a few seconds.]
no subject
Well, it's not like she's trying to keep this a secret?? Then again, she hasn't talked about it that much and so far only Athena knows, maybe Miss Otome might have an idea, but Ai wasn't direct about it with her, and, and and...
In the end, Archer's a good ol' pal isn't he? She's never talked to him about her other relationships in Cerealia and he probably only knows Athena as her best friend...]
no subject
So poking her fingers together, she shyly replies:]
I... I like him a lot.
no subject
I doubt I'll have the time to make him something.
[Excuses.]
no subject
That's fine then! One big cake would be more practical anyways. I just thought it'd be nice if Hiro had his own!
no subject
Fine. Are you going to tell me the flavors you want or will I have to take my best guess?
no subject
It might be early, but it is summer so, how about a cake with a lot of peaches?
no subject
If that's what you have a want for, we can do that.
no subject
[She doesn't say anything else while Archer grabs more items. She's fallen into a thoughtful sort of silence before speaking up again.]
You don't celebrate your own birthday do you?
no subject
What birthday? I don't recall what day I was born on.

[They kept records on all of them from what Ai can remember.]
no subject
[Such is like as a protag in a game. Though Archer has definitely forgotten a lot of his life as Shirou.]

[She readjusts her bag of groceries in her hand, looking thoughtfully at the other products on the shelves as she continues the conversation.]
But it can't be wrong to be nice to you in return even if it isn't shown with grand gestures.
no subject
[Legit question. Though Archer just walks along, grabbing what he needs. He's not one to think on what he's getting because he's so used to this.]
no subject
[ai...]
But then again, I wouldn't know unless people were direct... A few have been.
[
COUGHLEONCOUGH but it barely counts she gave him candy]no subject
[Really. Aside from certain things, its pretty hard to make Archer legitimately mad.]
no subject
no subject
[Smirking and/or scowling Archer bones, most likely.]

[Says the guy putting stuff in his basket that's solely for making a cake for a person's birthday.]
no subject
... But you know Archer? I may have mentioned it already, but I am grateful for everything here. For everyone.
For the first time in a long while, I can actually say that there are people who look straight at me in a way that I didn't know I lacked.
no subject
[She may not be crying, like Archer has done to her before (no regrets) but it's still the same type of vibe.]
Besides, that's a real teenager statement to make.
