Happy Birthday Ash 2020

Entering the middle of August. And it's the end of summer.

Eiji, who graduated several months ago, is determined to live his working life to the fullest because he is still a newbie in the photography industry. The more you come from an athlete background, the more you have to make your colleagues or seniors see that you have the same ability.

It can be said that since graduating, I have done nothing but work.

“Eiji, that's enough, you've been sitting all day today.” eBay, who is both a senior and a trusted advisor, came over and patted the shoulder of the former athlete sitting in front of the computer.

Eiji's job right now is only as an assistant photographer who accompanies his seniors to gather experience. In addition to doing actual work, there is also photo editing or writing columns.

The person who kept sitting in front of the computer for several months in a row caused him to buy tinted glasses at the urging of people at home.

A little bit more probably has to be eyeglasses as well.

“The work isn't finished yet.”

“If it's not finished, then I'll do it tomorrow. Are you in a hurry to do this?” Eiji considers himself a child with constant responsibility. The amount of work he receives is divided up every day so that the work doesn't overlap too much. It is impossible for this child. Must come to work for a long time

Unless there is a special reason

“Ash's birthday is approaching and I plan to take him on a little trip. So I quickly got to work,” the young man said, admitting that he had accidentally forgotten Ash's birthday. It was good that he looked up at the calendar and it wasn't even the golden boy's birthday yet.

“Ash was born on the 12th, so it's a Wednesday. Then you will take a leave of absence from work.”

“Yes, so I tried to clear things up as quickly as possible.”

"I understand. Then don't come back so late. Ash might be worried."

"I understand. Come back carefully, Mr. eBay."

Eiji told eBay and worked for another hour before going home.

Since returning from America, we have been living in Japan together with Ash. Until that side could overcome the rigors of life, they almost didn't survive on their own. Because of that, there is no blood in an ordinary life. The issue of weapons is involved. Life is not as exciting as before, so it is the life that both of them love the most.

The house is a room in an extremely expensive mansion, and the person who can afford it is Ash, who accepts work related to the program. The story is that he has been a freelancer since he was in school. At first he didn't know much about the work rates and prices. Therefore chose to accept a small amount of work. The price was not so high that someone from a large Japanese company came across it and offered to join a project, resulting in a large sum of savings.

That person then became Ash's close older brother, providing work and teaching him many things. In less than a year, Ash had enough savings to buy this.

And people who love comfort spend money to buy it without thinking.

The two of them then moved into an expensive mansion less than a year after returning from America.

"I'm back." By the time Eiji got home, it was dark. As soon as he closed the door, both humans and cats came out to welcome him.

"Welcome back, why are you back so late today?" Ash, who was only in his pajama pants due to the hot weather, asked Eiji as he reached out his foot to kick the cat away so it wouldn't disturb the person who had just returned.

"Don't pretend to call me...I'm just going to clear things up so I can take a day off."

“Leave work? Why are you taking a leave of absence?”

“In a few days it's your birthday, isn't it? I wanted to come celebrate for you. During this time, your semester is closed. That day we will go on a trip together.”

"Pleasing me again." When Ash listened to the reason the other party worked overtime and came home late, he softened and refused to complain any more...but his foot still nudged the cat.

“This is your special day. I want to let you know that your birthday is special to you as well as mine.”

In the past, Ash never cared about birthdays like the first year we were together and the other party didn't care. Until Eiji and Ash's best friend organized a birthday party at their house, and from then on everything Years later it became a tradition to celebrate birthdays like this.

But this year he wanted to go on a walk with Ash, so he rushed to work so we could have time together.

“As you please, brother.”

A word that indicates that Ash is willing to let this brother do as he pleases.

But behind Ash's back, he pressed his phone to do something.

12 August 2020

Ash's birthday started with the two of them and one cat waking up late because they both had no school or work. So he lay and rolled around on the bed for a while. Ash lay with his head on Eiji's lap and played with his cell phone. Respond to messages from friends, seniors, and juniors who come to say happy birthday even though they don't usually socialize or approach anyone.

But as a top-level student, who has the ability to shoot a gun? Makes people have quite a bit of respect.

“Hungry,” the khong boy said casually, but it was an indication that he had to eat something now. causing Eiji to get up and make a rather late breakfast for him. They also had Ash go get ready to go out.

Today, they planned to go look at the stars and buy a present for Ash. The blond boy didn't really like surprise gifts because sometimes he didn't know what use he got. Every year, Eiji brought Ash went to buy some himself. But if you don't go together, Ash will tell you what you want in advance.

"The planetarium is at 11:00 a.m. Today is a weekday. There shouldn't be many people," Eiji said as he thought, saying that the time was not yet ten, so there was no hurry.

“But there are students who are on school break. Anyway, it's better to go a little early.”

"understand"

The two ate breakfast and talked as usual. Whoever finished eating got up to change clothes first. Eiji got up at the back and washed all the dishes, while Ash got up first until he finished changing clothes and then went to prepare the cat food and bathroom area. Take care of everything in case you don't come back tonight.

"Let's go. I haven't been to the planetarium in a long time," Eiji said excitedly. The birthday boy laughed a little.

"Go." Ash grabbed all his things and walked to open the door.

Traveling to the planetarium by bus from the nearest stop to your home takes about 20 minutes to reach the planetarium. Judging from the people waiting to get ready to visit, it wasn't as many as on Saturdays and Sundays, but it was considered more than expected. Eiji bought tickets for Ash's two adults as students so he could get a little discount.

The Outer Planetarium Exhibition Room is an educational exhibition about the history of the Ash Star. I haven't read much about it, so I walked around and read it carefully. When the time came, he went inside.

The circular dome around them was seats like those in a movie theater but could recline more than usual. The two chose their seats and managed to mute their cellphones so as not to disturb others. Then he leaned down and looked at the cloth where stars were beginning to appear.

The decision to choose the planetarium was because in the city you can't see many stars. In order for city people to be able to see this many stars, they have to go out or take a shortcut like the planetarium.

Spend about an hour in the planetarium. Ash still hadn't finished reading so he looked at the exhibit a bit more.

After finishing at the planetarium, we went to a small cafe and ordered cake or bakery to sit and eat together. Because I'm not very hungry yet. Also, I intend to eat a dinner party to celebrate Ash. Normally, Ash's birthday party is held at home, but this year Ash wants to be with just the two of us, so maybe we'll find a good restaurant. One shop is enough.

"Where are you going next?" Ash, who was scooping banoffee into his mouth, asked the person across from him who ordered a ham and cheese croissant to eat.

“Go buy your present, I haven't even told you what I want yet.”

"This year, I don't really want anything. What should I do? I have it all."

"It's been three or four years since we've been together...is there really nothing you want?"

“Actually, there is one, but I don't know why I bought it.”

“What?”

"Music Box"

The item he wanted was a bit unexpected for Eiji, but he wasn't too surprised. Moreover, a music box is something that anyone of any age would want, but it doesn't matter that American children look the other way. As the white skin began to color, it made me realize that this could be the fulfillment of my childhood dreams.

"Come on, let's go buy a music box." Eiji didn't crush Ash's embarrassment, but instead joined in with his desire.

And maybe it was Ash's luck too. A few days ago, Eiji found out that there was a shop where you could make your own music boxes from a senior at work. It was a shop where people liked to come to make handmade things or make gifts for each other, and that shop was not there. Also far from here Take the bus a few more stops and walk a bit and you'll be there.

The music box store is a small shop mixed in with clothing stores. Fussy jewelry store Or at a nearby cafe where the glass shop allows you to see small chests of various sizes. It can be placed as an example in front of the store when the two of them enter. The staff came to welcome them and ask what they wanted. When they learned that both customers wanted to make their own music boxes, they told the steps to make them.

“If a customer wants to make their own music box, first they have to choose the song and the size of the box. There are both wooden boxes and boxes with glass domes. Then choose the decorations. The price of the decorations is as per the sign, then pay at that angle.

DIY

You can sit and do it at the shop. When you're finished, the shop will put it in a box for you."

"Thank you," Ash answered as Eiji was looking around the shop with interest.

As the employee walked back to the cashier, Ash walked over to Eiji who was already at the music box.

"What do you want?" Ash asked curiously.

“This is your gift, choose it yourself,” replied Eiji, who was almost fooled. Makes you laugh very well.

“Let's take a wooden box without the glass dome, or if a troll walks up to it, it falls and breaks. There will soon be a cat roasting incident.”

"Choose one," Eiji urged, wanting to know what kind of music box Ash would choose.

The blonde boy picked up a round wooden base that, when winded to produce music, made the second sphere rotate in sync with the music. Then select the song that the cabinet that uses the sound has the name of the song. There were old Japanese songs and children's songs, both Japanese and foreign. Ash seemed to have a song in mind and quickly looked at the song label before picking up the song he wanted.

“twinkle twinkle little star

really?"

“Oh, I like this song.”

Eiji didn't ask further because he saw the happy look on Ash's face so he didn't object to the song that Ash had chosen.

The next thing you have to choose is decorations. There are large, medium, small, people, animals, things. There are so many things that you can sit and choose for hours. But Ash himself isn't very good at art, so he gives it to Eiji. Please help me choose.

He spent a long time looking in front of the decoration cabinet to find a few decorations. The main one that Ash chose was a blond boy wearing a blue shirt and white pants, hugging a bouquet of sunflowers. Ash plans to replace it for himself. Troublesome cats at home will know who this belongs to with small decorations.

Noi was Eiji who helped. Like an orange cat lying lazily or a medium sized tree that makes it look like a boy sitting in the middle of the forest.

“Okay, you just sit and do it yourself. This is yours.” Eiji took it out and had the attendant put the music into the music box and then sat in the corner and prepared his camera on his phone to take pictures of Ash as he usually did.

One of the activities on a special day like this is taking photos. In fact, I took six photos of each other reading the description at the exhibition.

"Alright, you just take the picture."

Ash replied, then took out the contents of the basket and began to arrange them roughly. The music box was in the middle and couldn't be moved. But the outer second base could move, meaning that the boy Ash had chosen would be the center point. And the surrounding things would move, so Ash intended to put the boy and the medium-sized tree that Eiji had helped choose in the center.

As for cats or other decorations, they will be placed on the perimeter. Once the desired position was achieved, he glued all the pieces, waited until the glue was dry, then brought it to show Eiji.

“Um, very beautiful.”

“Of course, I'm also quite artsy.”

“Take a photo.”

Eiji looked at the person in the camera frame holding a music box closer to his face. Then the person who always kept a calm face smiled so brightly that the employees monitoring the store stopped dead in their tracks.

"I'll wait for a bunch of pictures and then go take them." Eiji held out his hand for Ash to inspect the pictures. Even though I don't like being photographed very much, if I do I want the picture to come out well.

“Alright, where do you go from now on?”

“Do you want to take a walk or buy some clothes? You haven't bought clothes in a long time.”

“Then go buy some clothes.” People who only wore a few items of clothing were now becoming more fashionable.

The blond boy took the music box with the glue already dry and gave it to the attendant to help put it home. The attendant asked the two of them with a smile.

"If the store asks to take a photo to put on the page, will that be okay? If we allow the store, we'll take one Polaroid photo for free," the employee said before putting the music box away in the box.

“How about it?” Eiji turned to ask Ash, who said he had no problem taking pictures.

"...Yes." Ash then turned to look at the employee.

Normally, I would probably refuse because I don't like having my face anywhere for a long time. Sometimes there wouldn't be a problem.

The staff then prepared a normal camera and a Polaroid camera. It didn't take long before the photo was taken. The Polaroid picture comes nicely packaged in a clear envelope and neatly placed in a bag with a music box.

Walking around town waiting for dinner, the two of them don't eat fussy snacks, maybe buying some sugary drinks to drink when they're thirsty. Ash carried his own music box and asked Eiji to carry it when he entered the clothing store.

“I bought it because I wanted new clothes or couldn't wear the old ones anymore.”

“The old one is already there.”

Ash's habit is that he rarely wears fast fashion shirts that come quickly. He tends to choose clothes that suit him and is a style that likes to rely on changing clothes to pair with this one. To create variety, but Western kids like him grow up all at once. After buying it for a few months, they have to change it.

His body size did not increase noticeably, but his body became a little thicker and his height increased.

“Growing up so fast, can you still be tall?” Eiji, who wasn't tall, looked annoyed at the big boy.

"Probably. I'm not sure, but I think in another year it will stop growing."

“Why do I think your father isn't very tall?”

“Who knows? But I definitely don't have a belly." Ash greeted his father in America, and Eiji remembered that Ash's father was quite a belly.

As for this kid...a six-pack slammed into his face.

“Then I guess you bought a size slightly larger than yours? In case it gets bigger, you won't have to buy a new one as often.”

“I intend to do the same.”

It took almost two hours to choose clothes because he went to change and try on clothes too. He thought carefully before buying. It can be said that the three clothes he bought were well thought out, according to Ash's personality.

Whatever you do, do it carefully.

This bag of clothes was carried by Ash because Eiji had taken the music box and carried it himself. He turned his wrist and looked at his watch to see that it was almost time as planned.

"Let's go eat," the blond boy said cheerfully, not causing Eiji to catch on suspiciously.

“Sure, where do we go to eat?”

“I have a place I want to eat, and you just follow me.”

Ash didn't immediately tell the name of the shop, but hailed a taxi and said the driver's name. Then the taxi entered the area where hotels and restaurants were everywhere. Eiji could feel it. To the wallet that shakes I couldn't tell, and I felt even more pale when the taxi stopped in front of a hotel with an expensive restaurant upstairs.

"Follow me," Ash laughed at his brother's antics and motioned for him to follow.

“Wait Ash, I don't have that much money to eat here. Besides, it must be reserved!”

“I made the reservation and I am the one who made the reservation.”

“Huh?” The young man, who had already entered the workforce, still couldn't keep up with Ash, but followed the other party. Before the restaurant staff led you to the elevator up to the restaurant floor.

The restaurant in the hotel has an intimate atmosphere with tables set far apart from each other. And around me there will be clear glass, allowing me to see the view of the male waiter taking over and leading me to the table. Then he excused himself to leave. Because Ash had already ordered the course in advance, he didn't have to order much.

"Are you tense?" Ash, noticing Eiji's withered expression, asked while laughing.

I guess I bent my back a little too hard.

"How can I not get tense? I wasn't prepared to come to a store like this."

"Heh. I guess I'd like to give you a surprise."

“Then why did you reserve the restaurant?”

"Well, you've always done this for me. Even on my graduation day, I didn't want to celebrate much. So I combined my birthday celebration with your graduation celebration."

"Too strong." The words said that Eiji's back bending this time was so strong that the person couldn't take it, but Ash had already thought that this older brother would probably pale quite a bit. So he immediately smiled and appeased him.

“Once in a while, and don't worry about Troble at home. I gave him lots of food this morning. I have already given orders.” The wild cat and the house cat knew which side was obedient.

“Does that mean you will stay here?” A statement that Eiji understood immediately as well.

"correct"

Even though Eiji complained that he still had to go to work tomorrow, Ash said that he already called eBay to leave work in the morning. It could be said that Ash had prepared his back bending very well and like this he couldn't resist anything.

The food that is served as a course is Japanese mixed with Western ingredients and the process of making it is detailed and complicated, making it taste new and delicious. Eating something that you haven't eaten often makes you feel good. I was impressed when the main course and dessert according to the course were all served. Therefore, it is a queue of cakes that the restaurant has prepared for those who come on special days like birthdays.

The small cake that had already been placed with candles was lit and the waiter who had brought it backed away. Eiji lets Ash make his usual wish before Ash makes a hand signal to blow out the candles together.

"Congratulations on graduating, Eiji."

"Happy birthday, Ash."

The blessings that each give to the opposing side before blowing out the candles together.

After eating until they were full, Ash went downstairs to check in and then checked into an expensive room. It could be said that today was another day where all of his energy was used up, whether it be walking around. City or being surprised, the two took turns going into the shower and then coming out to drink beer while wearing only robes.

Staying at home doesn't mean you won't ever see each other naked.

"Drink!"

The alcohol that was in the refrigerator at home was bought by Ash alone.

“Today we're boiling and getting tired. What time do we go to make these reservations?” Eiji didn't question the money he spent because he knew that Ash had quite a lot of money saved up, but he was surprised at what time he took to make reservations.

"Since the day I found out you were going to be off on my birthday, it's good that I had time so I had a place to reserve."

“I really agree with you.”

Eiji reached out and lightly collided his beer can with Ash's and shook his head tiredly, but he never thought of stopping him if they weren't teasing each other to the point of being unreasonable. Moreover, the expression on his face looked like he was amused. You can tease him and accept it.

Two people looking at a city so full of lights that they could hardly see the stars, there was a song of

twinkle twinkle littlestar

From the music box playing to lull you this evening.

We've seen people drawing designs since midnight. In Japan, the fiction production line really can't accept it.

The anime isn't really finished, so we hurriedly spun this short fic for everyone to read on Ash's birthday. This fic isn't a connecting episode.

warm light

Our long fic. But emotions are a parallel world. that has a telephone line The cat that regularly fights with Ash can't be brought here. Haha.

P.S. I didn't check for typos.
