Free! Oneshots

(Sousuke Yamazaki) A Birthday Special

A/n: Oh my goodness. I can't even BELIEVE that I just found out that it was my top bae's birthday. So what do I do? I QUICKLY TYPE UP A BIRTHDAY ONESHOT FOR HIM. And do believe me when I say quickly. AND I MANAGED TO FINISH IT BEFORE THE DAY IS OVER (it's currently 11:42 p.m. where I live). I couldn't have cut any closer!

Good job me.

I feel like I should make this a series where I make a birthday based oneshot for all the guys but... I can't guarentee that I can do all of that. Oh well. Thoughts though?

Anyway, I hope you all like this oneshot! Part 3 of the Seijuro oneshot will come soon enough.

For weeks, I've been planning for this very day. This god damn day. No one could ever understand the struggles I have gone through to get everything and everyone together for the special occasion. What is that occasion, you ask?

My best friend, Yamazaki Sousuke's birthday.

He turns the oh-so-special 20 today. An age where a lot of people like mentioning that they're no longer teenagers, finally a number where they can't be restricted by its name. Sure, I will admit, that 20 is nowhere as important as 16, 18, or 21. But hey, it's a birthday nonetheless, and that's a time for celebration.

I've known Sousuke only my first year of college three years ago. I might have known him the least out of his group of friends, but I felt we clicked. Being seat mates in our first class... And our second... And supposedly fifth, it must be fate for us to become friends. Although, my first impression of him may have been this cold, I'm-too-cool-for-you guy. Ok, maybe he does have that vibe, but he was much more than that. He was genuinely sweet, caring, and determined. He was the perfect gentleman. I am thankful to have met a person like him once getting into college.

My last year of high school had been rough. Then, I had just ended one of the most precious relationships I had. The boy I was dating at the time, one I thought loved me as much as I loved him, had cheated on me with a girl outside of our school. When I found out, only mere months before we graduated, I broke. The crushing reality that my love for him wasn't enough nearly brought me into depression. If it weren't for my friends and family, I would probably still be dwelling on that horrid, stupid relationship now. But I knew I could move on. Becoming a freshman in college was the perfect way to start anew.

Sousuke coming into my life the way he did just helped even more. I was grateful for our friendship. Overall, I was happy.

It's just a shame I had fallen in love with him.

But you know how it goes, we're only friends. I couldn't bother to confess. He treats me like a younger sister, despite the same age. I could tolerate that though. I didn't want to risk anything between us. He's far too precious to me. We've been through enough things together to ruin all of it. I wouldn't know what I would do if we were no longer friends.

Anyway, back to the birthday plans and my poor strives to have it work the way it did. I only managed to pull it off by the help of Sousuke's other best friend, Matsuoka Rin. I had met him twice in my life but we managed to keep in touch from exchanged numbers. I knew he should be the first one to call for this occasion. If I hadn't called him as early as I did, he wouldn't have been able to plan to fly over from Australia to Kyoto, Japan.

So, now that I had him on board, I asked him if he could invite old friends to come to the party I was planning. Rin was more than happy to agree. Just earlier this week, the maroon-haired swimmer informed me that he was able to get everyone on his list to agree to coming, which was a delight to hear.
