Soeki's going to be 30.
He wanted to be in denial for an extra year, but he's turning 30.
I think it goes without saying he wants you do be there for it, but will you make him a cake?

omg, yes! i'll make him 3 cakes.

I was going to say he doesn't need that many, but actually given how big he gets at night he probably does.
I'm going to make dinner for us plus Natasha.
He just wants something small, but I want it to be special for him.

you're sure we shouldn't do something more? he threw me a huge party.

did you get him a present? what did you get him?

I asked him.
He said he wanted to keep it small.
Me. You. Natasha. That's who he wants there.

I haven't got him anything yet.
I thought he was 29 so I figured dinner and a nice day would be good enough.
His 30th is different though.
I need to work something out.

okay. that's what we'll do if that's really what he wants.

oh, is he like, too old for gifts? is a gift a stupid idea? if it's stupid, i don't have to finish mine...

Dinner's all he wants.
He isn't the type to deny he wants a party if he actually does.

He's not too old. No one's ever too old.
We're just still pretty new and I don't want him to think I'm going overboard.
Whatever you're doing you should finish it.
What are you going to give him?

that's true. i can make something else for the dinner if you want.

a hammock. i thought he could nap out in the woods sometimes.

That's OK.
I can handle dinner.
If you wouldn't mind making one of the cakes chocolate orange though I think Soeki would really like that.

Aw, that's nice. :)
At least then when he does go he won't be sleeping on the ground.

chocolate orange? sure. i can do that.

yeah, and he can use it during the day too when he's napping and recovering and whatever. i thought maybe he might want to be able to spend more time outside during the day, and this way he can and he can still rest. i know i would like that.

Thanks. :)

Yeah, that's a really good idea.
He's going to like it a lot.

i hope so. i hope he doesn't think it's just weird.

He won't think it's weird.
He'll think it's really nice.

i wanna get him something good. he gave me an awesome gift for my birthday.

What did he get you?

this cool skeleton art to put in my store.

You guys really get each other, huh?
I'm going to have to figure something good out.
Do you think it'd freak him out if I gave him a key?

yeah, don't be jealous. it's cause we were both weird back home. i mean, soeki was weird and i still am.

uh, no? i don't think so. i think he'd like that. he'd probably freak out a little, but not in a bad way.

I'm not jealous. It's nice you have that.
I just meant you'd be a good person to get an opinion from.
You aren't weird though.
Soeki is way weirder than you.

I don't know.
He knows he's welcome any time, but we're still really new.
Maybe that would scare him off.
I just don't know what else I could get that would actually mean something.

dude, i was joking. and maybe he's weirder but he's like, a cool weird. i'm not.

you guys hang out at your place a lot, right? does he have a den there? could you make one?

Right. Sorry.
He's really not cooler than you though.

He doesn't, but it's not like I have much space there to do things like that.
Plus I really like having an actual bed.
I guess you can never have too many throw pillows though.

he's so much cooler.

oh, okay. maybe you should have the key and also a backup gift in case the key freaks him out, though i really don't think he'll hate it.

Have you heard his jokes?
I promise he isn't.

[Like Oliver's sense of humor is any better.]

Maybe I should just move straight onto back up ideas.
What did you mean by freak him out, but not in a bad way?

okay, you've got a point there. not that your jokes are any better.

like, he might be overwhelmed? or scared that he's gonna fuck things up. and that's different than not wanting a key.

I didn't say I was cool either.

That's still bad freaking out.
I think I need to remember he's not like me so romantic gestures on his birthday probably aren't what he's looking for.
