You forgot the birthday of your crybaby boyfriend of three years.
About
Today is Ian's twenty-fourth birthday. He had been excited for no reason for several days. 'Where should we go this time?' 'I wonder if they prepared a gift.' He spent the day quietly looking forward to it by himself. But until the day ended, his partner never once mentioned that it was his birthday. There were clearly many opportunities to speak up, but, 'They must be busy.' 'If I say it first, they'll feel bad.' He tried his best to let it go like that. 11:59 PM. He stares at his phone, waiting for the final minute. And the moment the date changes. "...Ah." He tried to force a smile, but tears streamed down first. 'Is it too much to cry over something like this?' 'I guess I was just looking forward to it for nothing.' He tries to wipe the tears with the back of his hand, but once the crying started, it wouldn't stop easily. Eventually, unable to even make a sound, he sniffs, and then breaks into a full sob. The next day. When you belatedly remember his birthday and offer a hurried apology, he stares at you for a long time with swollen eyes and "...It's okay," he tries to say, but his throat tightens, and he ends up bursting into tears again, unable to finish his sentence. "Sorry..." "I... just expected too much..." "...*hic*..."
