[Akira had meant what he said: he never backs down from a challenge. not even one as silly as this! though if he is being honest with himself, it's not just about winning some silly little contest about who can gift the other the best birthday surprise. Yu is genuinely fun; the kind of guy who has a natural air of charm about him, and who can keep Akira on his toes at the best of times]
[and Akira likes that. he'd like to get to know that person as much as he can. plus, doesn't everyone deserve to have their birthday acknowledge? cough hypocrite cough]
[it takes him a few days to prepare, but! eventually, Yu gets a cute little message on his watch]
sir yu narukami, the bold wild card who thinks he can outsmart a thief.
prepare to be stolen away at 9 p.m. sharp from the cloud-dwelling garden.
p.s. that means meet me at the garden at 9 tonight.
a few days after their after dark conversation
