Summary:

tokitou muichirou and shinazugawa genya lived happy lives after the major battle in the infinity fortress.

the two earned a large sum of money from kagaya's son and were able to go on comfortably.

so with that, muichirou tokitou lived as long as the slayer mark allowed him to.

and genya was haunted with that reminder.

Notes:

hello!

i'd previously made a fic similar to this called the 8th of august, which i deleted to make way for this fic.

i was unsure of where to go with the other one, and i have much more planned out right here.

Chapter 1: - Prologue -

Chapter Text

".. would.. would it even be appropriate to bake a cake..?"

"..I don't know, but.. but we can't just do nothing!"

the two butterfly sisters who took after the late kochou sister were having a bit of trouble these days..

the 8th of august rapidly approaching day by day, the two always handled the baking for their friend's birthdays, but..

"It's his 25th birthday, it's hardly a celebration."

"but it's tradition. imagine not getting a cake for the birthday you.." she trails off, eyebrows furrowing just slightly.

"Would he even be able to stomach it though...?" kanao interjects.

".. I.. don't know, maybe we should ask genya..? he's the one who knows what needs should be met.." 

kanao frowned just at the idea of it, genya wasn't in the best place these days.

aoi met her eyes, leaning against the counter. "that's... not a good idea, is it?"

the other sighed, shaking her head "..perhaps we can compromise with ice cream..? easier to eat and stomach.. and not exactly as much of a slap in the face as id imagine a birthday cake would seem."

"..yeah, yeah that'll do.."
