The clopping sounds of a pair of brown high boots fill on the way through the luxurious Golden Dawn’s base corridor. The boots’ wearer has his chin up with a cute perk on his face. Both his hands are hiding behind his torso, only to hide another thing there. He stepped along towards a specific room he would head to.
The Vice Captain’s personal office room.
Knocking, he thrills to get the response.
“Who?”
“IT’S ASTA!” Him the one who knocks. His hidden arms are clutching on something tighter because of excitement.
“Come in,”
The door knob pulled over and with a slight push, it opened, showing the office room’s interior. It’s terribly fancy. Nice comfy sofa for the guests, a ceramic tea set with various tea flavours ready to brew, high quality carved ceilings, crystal lamp, also some different types of table for the meeting, display, and work.
Asta, the guest who is also the relative of the room’s occupant, widens his smile. He actually always loves the environment of this room. Someday he would want to live in a room like this. It would be fun, he thinks. He has been aiming for the throne of the Wizard King that must be owning a magnificence property like this.
The brotherly rival heads in front of a young man sitting on his mighty office chair. Before extending out his hidden arms, he greets, “Thank you for inviting me here for dinner and happy birthday, Yuno!”
The young man at his same age pays his greeting with a warm smile. He said, “It’s my pleasure, Asta. And happy birthday to you, too.”
“Hey, I hope you like my gift. Sorry, it’s not much.” Asta hands the thing he has been bringing along behind his back. It’s a red box wrapped with a green ribbon. It’s somehow funny because it reminds Yuno of Christmas while it’s still way too early for Christmas. Maybe Asta only found this color for gift wrapping in the shop. He tickled to let out a short giggle.
“Oh, don’t mention it. I’m more than grateful to have it. You don’t need to, anyway. But thank you.”
“You’re welcome!” Asta grins bright, revealing his white teeth.
“Can I open it after the birthday dinner?”
“Of course.”
“To be honest, I also have something for you, but I don’t have time to wrap it up. Can you please close your eyes for a moment before I tell you to open back?”
The gleaming green eyes of Asta blink twice, before he tells, “All right, whenever you’re ready. Just tell me.”
“Okay, can you start now?”
“Fine.” As that word flies, those green marbles are shut. Yuno opens one of the drawers under his workplace table and lets something out. Then he walked behind Asta to work on something over his neck.
“Done.”
The ash haired young man looks down to find a gold necklace shaped like a carved oval frame. What’s in his mind is “THIS MUST BE CRAZY EXPENSIVE!!!!”. While he’s swimming in his mind, a peck on his cheek was stolen and it drags him out of his thoughts.
“Oh my gosh! You should have warned me!” Asta holds his madly blushing side cheek. Yuno finds it cute, he wants more.
“Happy birthday, Asta.” Once more, a peck lands on Asta’s skin, but this time is his eartip. It tickles so much how Yuno gave it while whispering his greeting like blowing some chill air inside. It flutters Asta more.
“Anyway, it goes like this.” Yuno leaned on Asta’s shoulder with his hands pulled out his necklace. Yuno’s oval blue pendant can fit into Asta’s gold oval frame pendant. “You see? It means you will always have me inside you, inside your heart.”
“That’s… too far…” As a simple-minded person, Asta gets amazed by how Yuno’s brain works. He feels a pair of arms reach his body, embracing him in a warm hug.
“Please let me stay still a while like this before we get ready for the birthday dinner party.” Yuno persuades, unfairly locks the embarrassed Asta in place.
“Ffffine.”
