( akira had been trying hard to work in secrecy for the last few days, which... wasn't as easy as it sounded despite his phantom thieving nature. when you lived in the same house as the person you were trying to keep your covert operations from, the challenge became just a little more, well, challenging.

once again, as the day of a friend's birthday drew near, the frizzy-haired boy had been busying himself in the kitchen, making up some excuse or another as to why he was so focused on what he was doing... and then, finally... success.

at least, as much success as he could manage. but as he stood back with a triumphant— ) Mmm. ( and a nod, he seemed satisfied at least. all that was left to do now was to deliver the precious goods. and so, it was with a tray full of three cups of ramen, already opened and steaming, that he waited at the door for yusuke to arrive. )

[While Yusuke was no stranger to Akira's covert birthday operations, it had decidedly escaped his notice this time around, what with all the strangeness happening around Hadriel, people falling asleep and waking up to find themselves younger.

He'd been sketching in his room, trying to capture some of the few fleeting impressions of his own that he could remember, with varying success. Becoming frustrated, he decided to take a break to clear his head.

Which is when he walks into the room, drawn by the smell of--]

Ah, Akira...! You made lunch?

[Predictably, his stomach is already growling at the sight of the opened, steaming cups of ramen. Perfect timing!]

Mmm. ( there's a wry smile about him. it's not just any ole ramen that he picked up from before they rose into the fiery land of two suns. in fact, he looks quite pleased with himself as he draws closer, motioning with his tray for yusuke to come closer to get a better whiff of what he'd cooked up. )

It's a special occasion today— ( he'd been worried that yusuke might not even have noticed, with how engrossed in his work he'd been. and also... that whole... child regression thing. )

Ha~ppy Birth~day Yuuu~suke ♪ ( he adds in a sing-song voice.
the closer he draws near, along with him comes the smell of... s-salad jagariko...? )

It's my birthday...?

[Yusuke mumbles this to himself as if the thought had literally just occured to him (it had). Still, despite his confusion, such a considerate gesture is enough to earn a soft smile from him.]

Thank you very much, Akira. [He steps closer, eyeing the ramen speculatively.] Perhaps I'm simply imagining things, but... does this ramen have jagariko in it? Let's sit and try it at once.

January 28th. ( ah so he hadn't even noticed? akira supposed that the events of the last few days were enough to throw anyone off or... had it simply been because yusuke was so wrapped up in his work?

it was typical, the more he thought about it. but endearing. it was just yusuke.
at the thanks, he just bows his head slightly in acknowledgement. )

Not quite— ( heading over to the living room area, he puts the tray down, handing over the container that he had deemed 'the best' of the bunch. ) There was no jagariko to be found anywhere so... I tried my hand at recreating the flavour as best I could.

In ramen. ( the spices didn't seem too complex, but then, hadriel had few alternatives to some of the things he had been looking for. still, from the smell of it, he may have been at least... 60% successful?? maybe. )
