I'm sure I will. You didn't need to get me anything in the first place, so...
[Maybe he should be a little more concerned about the bag, but Makoto wouldn't have dropped it if its contents were fragile, so it's probably okay to enjoy this embrace and push any prospective guilt aside. Though they may be in the doorway, Kouhei isn't quite as embarrassed or nervous as he would have been in the past.... So with Makoto's arms draped securely around his neck, he doesn't pull his own arms back, and instead chooses to rest his cheek in Makoto's hair.]
[Makoto felt they should probably head inside too, but it's hard to concentrate on that when Kouhei's warm arms are around him. Of course, he had to get something for his birthday. It was a very special day after all. Makoto isn't nearly as nervous either as he enjoyed their embrace for a little while longer. Makoto shook his head with a soft laugh.]
It's alright. I'd love to.
[He slowly leaned away as he picked up the bag with one hand and took Kouhei's hand in another on his way inside.]
[It's almost laughable how difficult it is to part from such a simple embrace, but it's the reason behind it that matters. Having Makoto remember his birthday means more than Kouhei can put into words, since he'd probably only mentioned the date once or twice at the most, and that was easily many months ago...
Still, they do have to part to get inside, and Kouhei steps back to close the door behind them before walking toward the living room hand in hand.]
Honestly, I couldn't want anything more than this... Spending time with you is all I wanted to do today.
[Makoto beamed up at him before settling against him again. Of course, Makoto made sure to remember Kouhei's birthday. He was going to make sure they celebrated even during the time he convinced himself that they would only stay friends, he wanted to celebrate his birthday. It's a very important day after all! He didn't want to leave the hug either, but they do have to go inside. However, getting to hold Kouhei's hand is very nice too. It doesn't stop his cheeks from heating up at the sweet words.]
R-Really? That's what you wanted?
[He doesn't know what to say to something so sweet and honest like that.]
[Even back home in Japan, his birthday was just like any other day. His mom would bake him a cake and celebrate to the extent that Kouhei was willing, which honestly wasn't much. But now he has not only friends, but someone special. Isn't spending time with that person the greatest gift of all?
Makoto's reddening cheeks make Kouhei flush slightly in return as his pace slows to a halt, slightly embarrassed over how sappy his words must sound. Now that they're in the living room, he doesn't mind facing Makoto fully, sheepish as he may look.]

Having you here makes me the happiest of all.
