Hinami's Birthday

Today was Hinami's Birthday. She kept jumping on the bed, trying to get me to wake up. I groaned and opened my eyes and she sat on top of me.

"Darling, you are always tired.." Hinami smiled. "Do you know what today is?"

"Saturday..?" I said half jokingly.

"Not funny!" Hinami crossed her arms.

"Yes yes I know..it's your birthday.." I smiled and looked at her.

"As long as you remember darling.." Hinami smiled and got off me.

I got up and stretched and yawned. Hinami jogged to the living room and hopped on the couch. I walked to the kitchen and smiled at Hinami who was watching TV like a little kid. I got a pan out and the griddle. For her birthday, I was going to make her favorite breakfast: Fluffy Pancakes Japanese Style with a side of eggs and bacon. It's been 2 years since me and Hinami started dating, well it's more of a serious relationship. I want nothing but the best for her.

"Mmm! Smells good in here darling!" Hinami smiled. "Lemme have a taste!"

"No, go sit down!" I laughed as she tried to sneak some food from under me.

"Just one!" Hinami looked at me and pouted.

"No, you have to wait.." I chuckled. Hinami pouted and walked back to the couch.

A few minutes later I finished her breakfast and brought her plate to her. She looked at me happily. She happily took the plate and looked at it and blushed.

"Wha- You.." She looked at me.

"Mhm. Your favorite back in Japan." I smiled.

"You didn't have to..I would've accepted a bowl of cereal from you..I can't believe you did all of this.." Hinami smiled.

I leaned down and kissed her lips. Hinami giggled and kissed back.

"Take your time and eat. I hope you like it. I made it from pure memory." I walked back to the kitchen.

Hinami looked at her plate and ate a piece of the fluffy pancake. She blushed and her eyes watered. It was delicious to her. It's been a few days since that break in and it's nice to finally see her smile so genuinely again. I washed the dishes and closed my eyes. I thought of places I could take her for her birthday. I finished washing the dishes and looked over at Hinami, who was eating happily. I walked to the living room and sat beside her.

"What do you want for your birthday?" I asked.

"A baby." Hinami answered quickly.

"Yeah that's not gonna happen today..choose a reasonable gift." I said.

"It is reasonable..!" She said in a whining voice.

"The only way it's reasonable is if we adopted a child and you told me you don't want to adopt.." I said.

"True.." Hinami closed her eyes. "I want a dog then. Wait no a cat. Uhm a bird?" She opened her eyes and looked at me. "How about all three?"

"I'm getting us a dog." I chuckled. "I don't think we can tend to all 3 animals at the same time, especially with your attention span."

"My attention span isn't that bad..." Hinami pouted.

"Yeah when I'm around." I laughed softly. "I'm taking you somewhere special, oh yeah and pack some clothes..We can get your present while we are out." I said.

"Okay!" Hinami smiled softly.

After she got finished, she went to put the plate in the sink and went to go get clothes and walked to the bathroom to shower. After a few minutes, I went in to take a shower. When I finished, I walked out the bathroom to put my shoes on.

"Hurry up Darling! I wanna see this special place!" Hinami said at the front door.

"I'm coming, I'm coming.." I smiled and walked out the room to Hinami, carrying our bags. "Alright let's go."

We walked out the door and I closed then locked the door. I also set the alarm. Hinami held my hand as we walked from the house to the car. I opened the door for her. She got in and I closed the door. I put the bags in the trunk then I walked in on the driver's side and closed the door upon entering. I started the car and drove out the neighborhood.

"It's been so long since we used this car.." Hinami smiled and looked out the window.

"Mhm. Everything is at walking distance so we barely used it." I said and held Hinami's hand with my free hand.

"It's so nice to walk with you.." Hinami looked at me and smiled.

"The same with you." I said and chuckled.

We drove for an hour or so and finally made it to the destination I told Hinami I'd take her. Hinami gasped and looked at the house.

"W-Where are we?" Hinami asked.

"We are at my aunt's beach house. She said we could use it for a few days. I wanted to take you here for a few days..away from society and just us on the beach." I smiled.

"You are always going the extra mile for me..! Kyotsu..I can't even thank you enough for all of this.." Hinami sniffled and hugged me.

"There's no need to thank me.." I smiled.

We got out of the car and I got the bags out of the trunk and walked to the house and saw my aunt waiting.

"Hey there nephew." My aunt smiled.

"Hey Aunt Calli." I smiled back.

"Enjoy your stay here, I'm going on a business trip for a month so you can use this house for a few days as I've already said." My aunt pat my shoulder. "Have fun. Oh yeah her gift is in my room. It wasn't hard getting the dog but it was a hell of a lot of money to get."

"Thank you.." I smiled and looked at her then walked in the house.

I set the bags down and looked around. It was surely a big house, nearly. the size of a mansion. I walked around and smiled. Hinami ran to me and tackled me into a hug from behind.

"Darling is so amazing!" Hinami laughed.

"I'm glad you enjoy it so much." I held her hand and smiled.

"How can I ever repay you for this..?" She tested her forehead on my back.

"You don't have to..I only care about your happiness.." I smiled.

"Darling.." Hinami smiled.

I turned around in her arms and looked at her. She looked up at me and closed her eyes. I chuckled and pecked her on her lip. She giggled softly.

"Your present is upstairs..Go look for it." I smiled.

"Okay.." Hinami let go of me and skipped upstairs.

I went to sit on the couch and turned on the TV as Hinami searched. Hinami searched every room, with high excitement. She heard a tiny bark in my aunt's room. Hinami's eyes darted to the door and she swung open the door and looked on the bed and saw a white fur Pomeranian. She fell to her knees and tears rolled down her cheek. The dog jumped down on the floor and walked to her and laid on her lap. Hinami tried to wipe her tears, but they kept coming. She was so happy she couldn't do anything but cry. She picked up the dog and walked downstairs.

"I love you so much.." Hinami walked to me.

"My aunt is the one to thank. I asked her to get it for you since we didn't have an animal shelter back where we were staying." I smiled.

"I don't care..." Her tears kept coming. "This is just..the best birthday I've had in years.." She said and sat beside me.

I smiled and looked at the dog and pet her. Hinami leaned her head on my shoulder and looked at her.

"What are you gonna name her?" I asked.

"It's a girl huh.. I'll name her Snow White.." She smiled.

"I figured as much.." I chuckled. "Snow White it is.."

Snow barked and licked Hinami's face. Hinami laughed and closed her eyes. I watched and smiled then closed my eyes.
