**My edit: The cat is given to Person A on their anniversary.^^^

Even though Noya is usually the one to buy great presents and make grand plans, Asahi decides to try it... To try to be the one to make their anniversary unforgettable.

He isn't really sure HOW he is going to make it special. After all, over the past three years, Noya has done many of the things that Asahi would like to do... Such as take him out to eat at a fancy restaurant, and walk with him under the starry night sky... With fireworks being the only thing prevent them from getting lost in the darkness.

After a few hours of thinking (and in the end, a phone call with Suga), Asahi decides (or more accurately, Suga suggests) that he take a break, and go for a walk.

He does.

The walk is relaxing...

The walk ends up being longer than he planned.

Realizing that he has walked farther than he ever has before, Asahi searches for some street signs to give him an idea of where he is. It is easier said than done, with the constant flow of people on the sidewalk pushing him along.

It is thanks to all of the pushing that Asahi walks even farther...

That he walks right past a pet store. Being a big fan of cats, Asahi finds himself turning around, not to try to head home, but to look at the cats.

A long story short, Asahi strolls into their apartment with a box... A medium sized box with a couple of holes in it.

"WELCOME HO-" Noya screeches, all the while flinging himself at Asahi. Realizing a bit too late that Asahi has his hands full, Noya tries to stop himself. He does so to no avail. With his socks slipping against the smooth surface of the floor, Noya falls forward...

And is surprised to find himself NOT smushed against the floor. Blinking in surprise, Noya gazes at what stopped him from falling.

It's Asahi's left leg.

"WOAHHHHHHHH YOU'VE GOT REALLY GOOD BALANCE!" Noya shouts, with a gleam of admiration in his eyes.

"Thanks," Asahi responds with a small smile, "Are you alright? You almost landed fast first onto the floor."

"I'm fine!" Noya says, all the while standing up. With his eyes no longer focused on Asahi's muscular leg, Noya is able to notice it.... The mysterious box within Asahi's hands. A box that he is DYING to know what is inside of it. Sensing Noya's curiosity, Asahi says, "It's for you."

With an excited squeak, Noya pulls the box out of Asahi's hands, and practically rips off the lid. "It's cute!" Noya chirps, "but there is a slight problem.. I-I-I'm-" he is interrupted by his own sneeze. " allergic to cats."

"Really? I'm so sorry! I didn't know... I will return the cat and get you a different present," Asahi says, speaking fast, with tears in his eyes.

"NO," Noya shouts, clutching the black and white cat to his chest, "We're keeping the cat! THE CAT WILL BE OUR CHILD UNTIL WE GET A REAL CHILD."

"...Until we get a real child," Asahi whispers, "do you want to adopt a child, sometime in the future, Noya?"

Noya nods a yes. After nodding, he says, "I can take allergy medicine... Now get over here Dad #2!" Asahi doesn't have to get told what to do twice...

Asahi and Noya hug, with their cat in the middle... With their fluffy, purring "child" in the middle of their embrace.
