Okaaaaaay, right. Yeah, he wasn't that oblivious, he could gather what the amount of effort plus the timing meant. Part of him twisted uncomfortably only because he knew how much time David must have spent preparing everything.

He didn't have to do all of that just for him!

Most of him though felt warm and fuzzy. Because he knew that David had wanted to and had been happy to do it.

This sort of acknowledgement of his birthday was the kind he could get on board with.

Mu-yeol pressed a kiss to Hatter's cheek before giving him a knowing look, a silent 'you're caught.' "You thought of everything. It sounds great. I love pesto, basil has to be one of the top ten plants."

Mu-yeol still didn’t suspect anything. Why would he? It was dinner time!

Maybe Hatter craved something sweet after, he wouldn’t know. All he knew was that he trusted that it was going to be good. That’s the thing about your partner being a kitchen witch— you never had to wonder if you’d like what he made.

“I figured that much,” Mu-yeol teased him. “What’d you make for dinner?”

The days I don’t want to kill myself are extraordinary. Deep bass. All the people in the streets waiting for their high fives and leaping, I mean leaping, when they see me. I am the sun-filled god of love. Or at least an optimistic under-secretary. There should be a word for it.

"He practices so hard! He'll always be like, 'okay Appa I'm going to bed now,' and I'll be like--" he mimed laying down to sleep "--and I'll just hear his feet going upstairs in his room, practicing choreo. It's gotten better now that he does dance with the performance-talents. It's aerial. Less thud, thud when I'm trying to sleep."

But even the loud footsteps on the wood floor didn't really annoy him. It was comforting to hear Nemo upstairs working on his passion. He liked to think it meant Nemo was happy in that moment.

"That's fortunate! Do you have many opportunities to self-choreograph? Is that something you're interested in?" Jun-ha asked.

Mu-yeol did not like to celebrate his birthday. Um, asterisk.

He hated attention that he didn't specifically ask for, and he hated being sang to especially in public. Genuinely you should only tell restaurant staff it's his birthday if you hate him and never want to speak to him again. But even privately, the birthday song made him want to physically jump out of his skin.

He also hated receiving gifts that he often didn't have use for and having to pretend he liked them. Especially living in the West now where it was customary to open gifts in front of the person who gave it to you and make a big show of how much you like it even, and especially if, you don't. In Korea that was seen as greedy to open a gift upon receiving it and to make a show of it. He liked that better. At least he had time to come up with a lie about how much he liked it.

The social contract that getting gifts locked him into also made him squirm. Because it would be rude to not get someone a gift for their birthday when getting one for him!

It's why he preferred a simple acknowledgement with traditional birthday seaweed soup and to be gifted in, as he explained it once, "just, like. hanging out." He liked when someone either cooked or bought him a meal (and if bought, did NOT tell the staff why), and he didn't mind gifts if they were genuinely bought with him in mind.

Like Jun-ha and David getting him Mountain Goats tickets! Or Emily and Rasihan gifting him a little manatee enamel pin to pin onto his work bag because he liked manatees. Something like, "Hey, I care about you and thought about you. And happy birthday or whatever I guess."

Gifts that he felt like someone might have bought for him just because they were already shopping, saw it, thought of him, and grabbed it for him.

Like when you hand someone a pretty leaf or a cool rock.

Oh! Or a cool rock!

So it was a relief that David more or less seemed to be on the same page. Which is why he didn't suspect that this after work dinner had any motive besides, well, dinnertime!

He set his work bag down by the front door as usual and shimmied his shoes off his feet.

"I forget how long I'm on my feet until I get back here and I'm like, 'oh, sitting down is in sight.'" Mu-yeol said. "Aish, and there I go starting with bitching."

He shook his head and scurried over to the kitchen side of the flat to greet David properly, with a kiss and a "What'd you make?"
