お誕生日おめでとう~!

A day planner laid out on Katsuya's kitchen counter has a big red circle over the date.

October first.

The officer wipes his glasses clean with a cloth and removes the apron he'd been wearing until moments ago. Changes back into his suit and tie and resolves that his kitchen will just have to be cleaned when he gets home.

He has gifts for a very special someone to go deliver. He scoops up the cake box and his keys and leaves his apartment for the Nexus. A certain magi's tower in the Nexus, to be exact. He does have the courtesy to text her to let her know he's on his way.

Still feels weird to announce 'I'm here to see Miss Verity Willis' to a wall of solid crystal though. Would it still open if he spoke in Japanese? Experiments for another time.

"Verity?"

It's about the bed, but it's not about the bed. She wants him to be excited about her. About getting to kiss her, about getting to join her in special sacred places. He is so wonderful in so many ways, and he has so many more important things to worry about, she just doesn't know how to tell him any of this.

"It's fine. Sweet dreams." They are nothing if not experts in not talking about their feelings.
