Happy Birthday, Heizou! Enjoy some time with Aether!
_____________________________________
Aether had to admit to admit...
He felt a little awkward.
It wasn't that he'd never gone to a restaurant before, and with Paimon being absent she wasn't able to embarrass him with her bottomless stomach. No, the real reason he felt so weird was…
Well…
"Can you afford this?" Aether said quietly, looking around the fancy private room. The restaraunt allowed each customer to have their own room, complete with gorgeous decorations, sinfully comfy cushions, and tableware that Aether was too scared to touch at first.
Even the waitresses were stunning! Each server was clothed in silken, extravagant fabrics that gave them an air of elegant royalty.
The food was nothing to snuff at either, each dish having been perfectly aligned to his tastes and chosen previously before his arrival.
He would've expected this from the Kamisato family, not him!
Aether shifted nervously as he awaited an answer from Heizou, the detective looking completely unaffected by the fancy surroundings.
Heizou took a sip of tea, his elbow propped on the table in front of them. "I do have a decently paying career, you know," He answered, "You don't think I make chump change, do you?"
"No, it's just…" His hands curled into his pants fabric, "This is…a bit much."
"Only the best for my dear partner," Heizou purred, "Don't you worry about the price. I'm treating you, remember?"
"It's your birthday!' Aether exclaimed, "I should be treating you!"
"Says who, exactly?" Heizou placed his cup down, leaning his chin on his fist.
"I-It's…" Aether licked his lips nervously, trying to find the words, "It's just how it is!"
"And if I say I don't want that, what're you gonna do?" Heizou chuckled, "You'll go against my own wishes on my birthday?"
"I'm saying I want to do something for you! Isn't there anything you want?!" Aether finally blurted out, cheeks burning with embarrassment.
Heizou's eyes widened, blinking a few times as he stared at Aether.
A few seconds passed.
His lips curved sharply.
"So, what I'm hearing…" Heizou lowered his arms to the table, leaning across, "…Is that you want to do something, if not anything for me, for my birthday."
"Y-Yes…?" Aether shifted backwards a little.
"Anything, huh?" Heizou hummed, thinking carefully, "The list is endless. Am I limited to only one, my dear?"
"Um…" It was his birthday, "I can do…more."
Heizou's gaze darkened. "More?"
"W-Within reason!" Aether hurriedly added.
"Of course," Heizou breathed out, "A shame we still need to eat. I want to claim my present right now."
Aether swallowed down his embarrassment, throwing caution to the window as he leaned across the table to meet him halfway. He kissed him quickly, pulling away before the detective had a chance to deepen it.
"Be patient?" Aether whispered, sending a side-eye to the closed sliding door, "When we're done, we can…" He made a vague gesture with his hand.
Heizou let out an exaggerated sigh before dropping back fully onto his cushion.
"Very well," He conceited, sending a dangerous smirk as someone knocked on the door and entered. He ignored the waitress who came in to deliver their first appetizer, delighting in the way Aether's face erupted in crimson and the woman's body tensed as he spoke.
"But tonight, my dear, You're Mine."
