[It's Sunday, so you know what that means!! It's Wesker's birthday!!

It's a good thing that they chose the weekend for this, because Jaeger wants to do nothing but spend all day with his boyfriend, especially since it's the first time they're actually celebrating Wesker's birthday. He's gotta make sure it's a memorable one!

But of course he didn't plan out exactly what they'd do, since this is Wesker's day, after all. So when it comes time for dinner...]

Where do you want to go?

[manufactured]

[...Jaeger, why are you like this.

Wesker has really never put much emphasis on this sort of thing, nor does he place much importance on it, so preferences are kind of at a minimum.]

...Does it particularly matter? We can go anywhere you like.

[scythegun]

[Siiiiigh. He should have expected exactly that answer...]

It's your birthday! We should go wherever you want to go!

[manufactured]

[...you know...]

Even if I were to suggest the waffle house.

[It isn't even a matter of particularly wanting it at this point. He just wants to know exactly how many occasions he can make you celebrate at that waffle house.]

[scythegun]

[. . .]

Why.

[It's the most defeated-sounding thing. Why do you love this waffle house so much, he'll never understand...]

If you want waffles that badly then I suppose... I was thinking somewhere nice, but it is your birthday...

[manufactured]

[oh my god, this is delightful.]

I did give you the opportunity to go elsewhere.

[scythegun]

No, it's your birthday! We're going where you want to go!

[Don't you ever get sick of waffles though???]

Come on, let's get going!

[manufactured]

[...You are so distressed by these waffles, this is fucking wonderful.]

Very well, then.

[Let's get going indeed.]

If you wouldn't mind, we can stay in the city proper for a while once we're done there.

[scythegun]

[YOU'RE THE WORST BOYFRIEND]

Of course I don't mind! Is there something in particular you want to do there?

[manufactured]

Not specifically.

[...]

I've found that wandering around there with nothing in particular in mind is good, sometimes.

[scythegun]

Good, I'm glad! It is a nice way to spend the evening, after all!

[manufactured]

It's not something I used to do before.

[And then you started taking him out at night sometimes, so...]

[scythegun]

And now you've discovered the joy of it! You're welcome~!

[manufactured]

[Yes, yes, let's go, shall we?

...He is legitimately going to take you to the damn waffle house and you are going to like it, Jaeger.]

[scythegun]

[Some small part of him was hoping that we wouldn't go to the waffle house, but here we are anyway...]

You really are very fond of this place, aren't you?

[manufactured]

I don't see why I wouldn't be.

[Are you going to be okay.]

Besides, I would prefer that this not be any sort of production. I've never really placed much importance on days like this.

[scythegun]

That's fair. I've always enjoyed celebrating my birthday, but obviously things didn't go exactly as planned this year...

[What a shame. Oh well, he settles easily enough. Let's go grab a table, shall we?]

[manufactured]

...We can make it up at some point, should you want to.

[January was such a shitshow- But yes, let's go sit down, there will be waffles goddamn.]

[scythegun]

[That gets him to smile.]

I'd like that. There's no rush, though! I'm not in any hurry to consider myself any older, after all!

[...he's still 34 it's fine.]

[manufactured]

Understandable, I suppose.

[i mean he gets to figure out if this makes him 39 or 40 because he's legitimately not sure

...he's kind of not sure of his age in general, granted, since he literally has no way to know how old he is and people just kind of shrugged and guessed when he was a kid...]

...I do appreciate this, by the way. I'm not trying to imply that I don't.

[scythegun]

[it's fine, you can be 39 forever if you want!!]

Oh no, no, I know that! I just want you to enjoy today; it's very important that you have fun on your birthday!

[manufactured]

...I suppose.

[HOW...DO CELEBRATING...]

[scythegun]

Oh come on, you can enjoy yourself a little more than that, ja? You get to spend your birthday with me, after all~!

[WINK]

[manufactured]

[...you know, he hasn't done this in a while

but you are getting no words

not the sort of no words that implies he's legitimately having an issue, just kind of...awkward and mildly flustered and what does he do with this]

[scythegun]

[Hey, it's been awhile since you last did this...!]

I'm really happy that I can help you celebrate your birthday, Albert! It really is important to me that you enjoy yourself today, but I just can't help teasing you!

[It's absolutely not an apology.]
