[ now would be a perfect time to tell them that her birthday is at the end of the month.
it would be easy. natural. a little teasing. but she hesitates, wavering between missing her chance (because she doubts takasugi remembers, it was so long ago she mentioned it offhand) and being a little spoiled.
... they're her friends. her heart. it's okay, she realizes not for the last time. so it's a lot easier than she would've thought to reply. ]
If you can hold onto them for a little bit, my birthday is the 24th. I don't need the whole city invited... but having a party would be fun. It'll be my first time really celebrating the day I was born!
( damn. not a one of them asked how he came across all this cash. and here he had a whole spiel prepared to discuss the highs and lows of karteria's stock market among the more affluent. but he takes in all their messages slowly. the pizza. the being banned from every venue (why?). niki's backhanded praise. and finally, ... what he actually did forget (sorry), the day of malkuth's birth. he leans his cheek harder against the flat of a fist pressing into it. )
I can do more than just offer you a party
( cryptic. but maybe these are the exact sort of promises he needs to be making again. to keep things fun, and all of them close. )
But the initial stages of my idea won't be complete until later Regardless, let’s plan to meet on the 24th So keep away from the studio until then If you want to use your check on each other, that works for me As long as you're enjoying yourselves
[ Rinne could ask. He said all that, but really, he's curious. No one just wishes for money and has it appear at his doorstep. But Malkuth's made her own wishes clear, and he's not about to ruin the mood. It's her birthday. Everyone deserves nice things on their birthday. ]
roger that prez this party animal was gonna slack but now he's got a birthday to prep for omg i gotta pick a song cmon niki lets bounce!!!
[ oh no......................... maybe this was a mistake................. no, she should at least let them have fun with it, surely they wouldn't do anything the embarrass her. in a malicious way. ]
Part of me is a little worried about what's going through your heads right now, but... I'll steer clear from the studio and wait with all the patience of a kid staring at a piece of candy!
[ and maybe she'll feel a little better by then. malkuth is really curious, and trusting, and warm from the tips of her long ears down to her hooves over the boys' responses. anyway, one more message before she sets it aside: ]
You three are the sweetest, most wonderful friends a girl could ask for. ❤
one he doesn't quite agree with, because after all, nothing about takasugi is sweet. wonderful maybe, but not sweet. even this giving to them is something selfish in a way, his need to keep them bound to him despite how much he wants them to thrive. the closer he gets, the more he worries, it feels.
so he lays back, holding the syntrofos tight. thinking of ways to keep this cash flow steady so they can have easy lives, despite their insistence that he take it easy. )
