that doesn't even make sense, you can't lose twice in the same race! i'm gonna kick your ass!
[ he's pleased. maybe even giddy. there's a brilliant warmth erupting from inside him, a starburst of a warmth, a newborn galaxy of them, and megumi wants to trap the feeling and never let it go. ]
if it's something sweet, it'll be a hit. gojo-sensei likes sweets.
Nah, this is my first dinner party. I think that's cool enough. Plus we get to go out with the dogs after! But... Hey. Since you want to call me by my first name, can I do that too? I mean call you by your first name?
[Megumi lives next door, so maybe he can hear Hikaru laughing happily at the way that he just had to zoom through that. It's not laughing at him, either, it's because it's the exact way Hikaru has been lacking navigation through this too.]
Okay, Megumi. Then I'll be there. Tonight? Tomorrow? When's good? You said birthday, but you didn't say what day.
[And if he did... Hikaru was nervous and missed it.]
I'll make sure my calendar's free, either's fine by me. Gives me a bit of time in between too so I can figure out what to ask help with.
[And to find a present for Megumi because... Christmas present is fine, but he didn't know the birthday of someone he-- yeah. He has to find something.]
I'll be there. Wild Kaiju couldn't drag me off from it.
[ lighthearted, buoyant — like a cloud rising on and up to the sky, reaching for the sun. birthdays, dinners with family, boys who smile like the sun. all of it is unfamiliar territory.
all of it feels like he's learning it all over again. ]

it's really no pressure, okay? don't worry about it if you can't come suddenly.
