[ Yuji follows without hesitation, slotting himself beside Megumi and looking around. It's exactly his kind of place, and it makes him buzz with a little excitement as he takes it all in. Delicious... ]
Well, it's your birthday, so it's only normal. [ Not that he's celebrated many birthdays with friends in the past. When Gojo would throw Tsumiki or himself birthday parties, though, it was always full of good food and nice things. He can't afford too much, but he can afford a meal.
There's a nod at the ginger side dish that he's passed. Yuji really knows him too well.
Alright, now he'll give him what he's brought over. Megumi takes out a box of white chocolate and what looks like a wrapped up gift. Inside the wrapped box is a copy of 'Human Earthworm 4' on DVD, and a small birdhouse for Wasabi. ]
... Happy birthday. It's ... nice that we can spend it together.
That's still a lot! Thanks, Megumi! [ Yuji has had little things in the past with some of his friends - hanging out, maybe getting some snacks, whatever - but he's never celebrated it like this before. Going out and getting food with his best friend... That's something special.
The gift comes, though, and his eyes widen as he drinks it all in, fingers tracing the shape of it all; the birdcage (maybe Wasabi will stop pecking him), the chocolate, and then the DVD. ]
[ Yes, the idea was to appease Wasabi so he stops assaulting Yuji.
He doesn't give gifts too often, being someone who prefers to express his affection through acts of service. Still, it's really nice to give out a gift and see that awed expression in response. Especially from someone he cares about so much. ]
I made a request of LILITH. [ LILITH was happy to comply, which be one of the few things they've done that he's approved of. ] Sounds like you like it.
[ Yuji's delight is obvious, his excitement clear as he pokes at the birdhouse and then looks at the DVD. The movie had only come out a little while ago, and then with the Culling Game and everything it had been impossible to even imagine owning it or being able to see it again.
Leaning over, he nudges Megumi gently, pushing into his space a little. ]
[ Megumi's in the middle of pondering other ways to help his best friend get along with his bird when Yuji suddenly leans in closer, catching him in some mild surprise. There's a blush that colours his cheeks now. He's a shy person. He's never been good with any physical closeness. ]
It's ... normal, isn't it. I'm sure your friends back then would do this for you.
[ He thinks someone as kind as Yuji deserves to be surrounded by people who appreciate him. Megumi knows his friend isn't fussy about food but likes tastier foods that are higher in calories, so he picks up some tempura sushi rolls from the belt for him. ]
We could do this every year. [ If they live to next year, he wants to. ]
[ Yuji is reaching out to take a set of gyoza, excited at the prospect of some good food, when he turns back to smile fondly at his friend. It's hard not to be happy when Megumi is being... Well.
Cute. ]
I'd like to. We should do the same for your birthday as well!
[ Such as wearing funny hats and singing in the streets around him. Megumi pinches the other boy's ear, as if punishing him even if he hasn't done anything wrong yet. ]
[ He knows Gojo would still do this even if he hates it. If that man influences Yuji and Nobara enough, they might join in also. One last tug of the other boy's ear, and Megumi sighs, letting him go. ]
As long as you know. [ Was the punishment really necessary when Yuji had done nothing wrong tho ... ]

This looks amazing!

[ Now he starts to rummage through his bag for what he wanted to give the other boy. ]

[ Yuji's eyes widen, but he knows better; everything in moderation. They're not being paid that much for this kind of thing, so...
He reaches out to take some sushi, and then grabs something that looks like it has ginger in it to pass it over to Megumi. ]

I do like it! Thank you, so much.

Are you going to watch it when you get home?
no subject
[ Yuji turns the box around to read the back, looking excited. ]
And maybe with the new birdcage Wasabi will let me have some peace.
no subject
That was what I was hoping. He might stop pecking you if he has more enrichment.
[ Though, he is also a robot, so it's odd that LILITH would program him this way.
Maybe they thought it was funny?
Gari, on the other hand, has actually been here the whole time and is sleeping quietly in Megumi's unruly hair. ]

[ He's a little pouty about it still, feeling as if there's nothing he can do about it, but...
Reaching out, he leans into Megumi as he puts the presents to one side. ]
You're the best, Megumi.
