BIRTHDAY PRESENT NOW!!!

[arsenist]

[On the fifth of December, Haru will wake to find a present wrapped in delicate pink paper, carefully wrapped with a lavender bow. A small card is tucked under the silk, reading as follows:

Happy birthday, Haru.

It's strange here, isn't it? To me you should be an adult now, but we're the same age right now, aren't we? Whenever someone joined the Phantom Thieves and we started using their given name, it was supposed to break things like that down. But a small piece of me has always thought of you as my senpai, I think. As much as we've equalized ourselves... It's never stopped me from respecting you, or admiring you.

I'm so grateful I was able to meet you. So grateful that I've gotten to see how far you've come, both here and back home. You're one of the most important people in my life.

What I put together for you... It's not enough to convey all of that. Not even all of the presents I gave you back home can do that. But I hope this passes on even a little bit of that feeling.

It might look a little bit crooked. I'm not as skilled at sewing as you are, you know? But I practiced a lot. I know, it would've looked much nicer if it had been from the store, but I wanted to give you something I made with my own hands. If it makes you feel even half as safe as you've made me feel, then I'll have done a good job.

May this be the first of many smiles you have today.

-Akira

Within the box is a soft, soft cloth. If Haru pulls it out, she'll see it's a pastel blue scarf, dotted with pink flowers. At one end, the flowers are a little more wobbly and indistinct. But as it reaches the other side, the shapes become more solidified and recognizable.

It is, perhaps, the clumsiest gift that Akira's given to her. But it's the one that holds more heart than the others, and maybe that will be enough for her to enjoy.]
