Summary
Because again, Cherry Blossom often doesn’t celebrate his birthday. Among the other reasons, he doesn’t enjoy growing older (he doesn’t believe he’s had the greatest experiences to show for the life he’s lived), nor does he enjoy reflecting on what got him to where he is.
It’s weird to have celebrated it at S tonight. Allowing Reki and Miya to boast to people the day before, fangirls squealing as they thrust gifts into his hands that he has nowhere to store.
It got weirder when Adam showed up, obviously. It got weird when Adam stood watching from a distance. It got weird when Adam waited until Cherry was alone to say so much as a single word.

Stuffing gifts into a bag, Cherry looks up at the sound of footsteps. Familiar, but not friendly. Precise, knowing. When he looks up, red and blue greets him. It’s the first time they’ve been so close since that beef.
“Happy birthday, Kaoru.” And before he can correct Adam, he’s being dragged to his feet by the hand. Kojiro watches from afar, his fists clenched, his teeth gritted.
