"happy birthday!" everyone shouted when oikawa got inside the house, being guided by hajime.

"alright fuck it, drinking time." you said and followed makki to the kitchen.

"hey no, you're not drinking." makki said when he noticed you.

"too bad." you leaned past him and grabbed a bottle.

"we still have to drag ushijima in here. and get it on film." makki reminded you.

"and i'll get him it's time to open presents." you propped yourself up on the counter and placed the bottle on your lap.

"you won't remember." makki said.

"probably won't."

"y/n!" oikawa said and walked into the kitchen.

"hi." you waved your hand excitedly.

hajime leaned against the counter next to you and took the drink from your hands.

"hi." you poked his cheek and lifted the bottle up to your mouth.

"percent of alcohol?"

"five."

"good."

"did you bring a present?" oikawa asked.

you nodded. "more beautiful plaid shorts."

"seriously?"

"no, it's something better than that." you said and looked around his house. "do you have a pool?"

"no."

"how boring."

"and here we go with babysitting again."

"you're not gonna have to babysit me." you said and squinted at the birthday boy.

"we'll see about that."

"designated driver?"

"mattsun."

"alright, y/n duty goes to you." oikawa said and grabbed a drink for himself.

"i have to take care of him." mattsun pointed at makki. "and now her?"

"yup."

"you better not get drunk." mattsun said to you and makki.

"we won't." you guys both said at the same time

an hour later the two of you were indeed, very drunk. along with hajime being a little tipsy.

you had a dancing battle with makki which was declared a tie, sadly. had a drinking contest with makki, you won. played cup pong, he won.

and now you all were in the living room, waiting for oikawa to open presents so everyone could go home and sleep.

"don't you just love the balloons?" you asked oikawa. you guys were sitting on the couch while you were examining your balloon art.

"who is that?" makki asked, poking the big blob of red on the top of the balloon.

"tendou." you hugged it to your chest. "my best friend. i don't know where he is though." you looked around the room.

"is this one me?" mattsun pulled down on the string to one and turned it around to face you.

"no, that's hajime." you grabbed it and shoved it towards hajime. "see, it has his green eyes."

you held it up to his face so mattsun could see the resemblance. looks pretty similar.

"i was gonna draw oikawa as an ostrich, but then i realized i didn't know how to draw one on a balloon." you admitted and pointed at the oikawa balloon.

"mental note, never give y/n balloons and markers." mattsun said to himself.

"i like them." hajime spoke up. "the ugliness between you and the balloon is so similar."

"are you calling my balloons ugly?" you gasped and spun around to face him.

"what? wait no."

well too bad, i'm upset now

"you art insulter. what if my dream was to become an artist and then you just crushed it in one sentence?"

"presents time!" tendou yelled and walked into the living room.

"didnt we have a good present prepared?" you asked hajime.

"yeah."

"where is it?"

"first present!" hinata and noya were pushing the very well decorated box inside the room and stopped in front of oikawa.

you stabbed a hole into the side of the box so ushijima could breath and not die.

that would be a sad birthday. a dead person being a gift. then his box would actually turn into a coffin and you would save money, not needing to buy a coffin.

"from y/n." oikawa read the little note you attached. "and help from makki, iwaizumi, and mattsun."

"i never wrote that." you said and turned to look at mattsun. he wasn't meeting your gaze. "present stealer."

"hey who saved you from iwaizumi pouring glitter all over you?" he defended.

"me." you replied.

"yeah by smacking her lips right onto his neck like a vampire." makki said.

hajime pressed his finger to the side of your head and pushed it to where oikawa was.

he was tearing off the wrapping paper. you were slapping hajime's arm in excitement.

"ow."

"come on, you have all this muscle and you're complaining about a slap?" you asked him and poked his bicep.

"you're slapping me like crazy." you slapped him on the arm really hard, leaving a loud slapping sound to echo through the room.

"ow." you looked down at your palm that was slightly red.

"that's what you get." he said.

"what are you two even doing?" mattsun asked.

"shhh, they're just trying to see if iwaizumi has a slapping kink." makki said quietly. "they gotta test out of these new kinks before they have their make up sex."

you saw that oikawa was staring down at the lid and slapped hajime's arm again.

"i'm being abused by my ex." he complained and grabbed your hand.

"he saw the glitter." you were now shaking hajime's hand.

"y/n, what the fuck." oikawa said, looking over at you.

"do you like it?" you asked.

"no."

"well too bad, there's more." you told him. hajime chuckled and raised his drink up to oikawa as if saying good luck.

then he bought that drink to his lips.

"quit staring." he said and poked the spot between your eyes.

"i'm thirsty."

hajime looked at you for a second before cleaning the rim of the drink and bring it to your mouth.

"thank you." you said when he pulled it back.

you two then looked over to oikawa and saw he was taking the lid off the box. how long does it take someone to open a box?

tendou was filming everything on his phone. oikawa screamed when he saw ushijima stand up and backed up at least five steps.

"you should have come to shirzatorizawa." ushijima said and threw confetti into the air.

everyone was clapping and cheering and oikawa was just standing there, terrified.

"can i get out now?" he asked you.

"yup." ushijima stepped out, brushing the confetti off his pants. he picked up a little more and threw them over oikawa.

"happy birthday tooru." he said before walking to tendou.

"you did great." you said, turning around on the couch.

"thank you." he patted your head.

"i don't think i wanna open the rest." oikawa said, looking at the rest of the presents.

"ill take them if you don't want them." you offered.

"was that actually my gift?" he asked.

"plus the box and confetti." you pointed down at the box. "and the alien balloons."

"what about all the other ones?" he asked.

"you can get the one that looks like you. the rest are for the others." you pulled down his balloon and handed it to him.

"lovely." he picked up another present and started opening it. you glanced down at hajime's drink while he wasn't paying attention.

you took his drink of you his hands and his head snapped down to you.

"oh no, no. no. no. no." hajime said and took it back. "i think you've had another for tonight."

"i'm tipsy."

"you are not tipsy." he said and handed his drink to makki who gladly took it. "you're drunk."

"same thing." you said and lifted his arm up. you leaned into his side and let his arm fall over your shoulders.

hajime gladly kept his arm there and pulled you closer to him. "oh wait, i'm supposed to be upset because you insulted my balloons."

"be upset another day." he said, not letting you out of his hold.

"how about i be upset on your birthday and don't get you a gift?" you suggested.

"you'll have to wait a year." he said.

"i can wait."

"you'll forget."

"i will not."

"you say that about everything and end up forgetting." he looked down at you.

"well remembering things is a hard task."

"whatever you say."

oikawa finished opening all the presents up and you guys stayed until it was a little past midnight.

"have fun getting them home!" oikawa said to mattsun. "and getting those two to not jump into each other's bones." he nodded over to you and hajime.

you were completely cuddled up next to him while he had one arm around you, drawing little shapes with his thumb on your upper arm.

"thanks." mattsun picked up makki and threw him over his shoulder. then he walked up to you and hajime, making you stand up.

"are we leaving?" makki asked.

"i don't wanna leave." you said and makki nodded in agreement. "we need to have a rematch for our dance battle."

mattsun was leading hajime out the door since you were following him like a puppy. "we can have our rematch tomorrow." makki said.

"you two in the back." mattsun opened the backseat doors and then put makki in the front.

hajime got you inside first and then he slid in, closing the door behind him. you wrapped your arms around his arm and closed your eyes.

"tired?" he asked and you nodded.

"i hate this." mattsun groaned when he got into the driver seat. "y/n and makki, never letting them drink ever again. thank god for y/n being the cuddly drunk. and also for hajime being the whipped guy he is and staying with her the whole night."

"i like her being a cuddly drunk." hajime said.

"oh, i know you do." mattsun said, looking into the rear view mirror. "you love it."

hajime nodded. "she's cute when she's drunk. goes on with her random nonsense that barely makes sense and hurts my brain."

"yeah, the flamingo statement."

"let it go already. flamingos and unicorns. same thing." hajime said and glanced down at you. "look she's sleeping now."

"you wanna sleep with her? like not sexual, just the cuddle sleep." mattsun cleared up his sentence.

"yeah. i miss her cuddles and her being my morning pillow."

"you two make me wanna throw up."

"you and makki make me wanna throw up."

"oikawa probably throws up more than a pregnant woman when he hangs out with us."

"probably."
