?!?!?!?!?!

[ frankly, he doesn't give a single shit about his birthday. if he wasn't wished a happy birthday on the same day every year (by Erwin, usually, until he was gone) he'd forget all about it.

this year is no exception. between the perpetual drama of being here and being even more permanently attached to Erwin than he was before, he has no attention span left for stupid shit like his birthday.

Erwin does, though.

so he's not terribly surprised when Erwin comes up behind him, or when he claims to have something for him. he'd never be able to guess what it is, but it almost doesn't matter. Erwin being there at all is by far the best gift he could possibly receive.

he's happy no matter what. ]

Oh? Seems kinda unprofessional. Is it a firm handshake?

[ a firm left handshake, of course. ]
