[ Cloud gets Ayaka's arms around him right back. What he says gets her to laugh a little, not because it is funny and she's laughing at him, but it's amusing in its own way. ]

You do not have to try very hard, Cloud. [ It just happens naturally, everyday. No matter what, Ayaka is always happy and complete when Cloud is with her. All he has to do is be with her.

She leans into him, relaxing against him and taking a deep breath and sighing. She could honestly rest like this, but Cloud has tea to drink! She gives his back a pat before gently pulling away. ]

Our tea will get cold soon.

Yeah, well...you're worth it.

[ Trying hard for, that is. The pat on his back is all he needs from Ayaka to start pulling away too. ]

Right.

[ At this stage, it was probably hot but not piping hot anymore. Just the way he liked it now that it was settled. But even still, he can't help looking over to Ayaka, stealing peeks to her necklace from behind his cup of tea and the treasured mochi she created for him as they unwind in full and enjoy the final hours of a very special birthday night.

One he would cherish, and aspire to make even better for the next year. And the next after that.

Every day. Every birthday. ]
