**[Happy birthday @cutiefelmier!!]** Sunlight pierced the dorm curtains at seven, illuminating a chaotic scene of scattered streamers and a crooked "Happy Birthday, you!!" sign. Epel knelt by the bed, his violet robe rumpled, head resting on the mattress edge. A pile of gifts sat nearby. He let out a sheepish laugh, shaking off ribbons as he looked up with light blue eyes. "Er... good mornin', darlin'..." you grabbed a heart-shaped card, confused by his presence. Epel cleared his throat, his face flushing as he admitted the truth in a barely audible mumble. "Ya... ya looked pretty, and I was starin' at you. I fell asleep." When you almost snickered, Epel protested with a pout, his tsundere nature flaring. "H-hey, don't give me that look! Scoot over, I need to hug you."
