2/2

[And there's a definite pause when March asks that question. He knows the answer to the question, in fact the memory of that day sits clear in his mind. He'd just been a few months out of Krusnik- long enough to make him realize Abel had rescued him rather than kidnapped him, but not so long that he'd started seeing the older man as family just yet.

He remembered a hostess cupcake sitting in front of him, with a candle pushed into it. Abel had wanted to give Jun a normal birthday so badly- but his attempted to bake a cake had backfired (as it always did), and the only shops open at this time on Christmas Eve were gas stations. He remember Abel explaining the birthday wish to him cheerfully as he lit the candle, right before he yelped because he'd underestimated how fast matches burns and the flames had reached his finger.

And he remembered starting at the candle intently, incredulous if the tradition had any merit... but at the same time, it was worth a try, wasn't it? Abel had been so persistent to give Jun a chance to do this, there must be something to it.

Sorry, but I can't say. Birthday wishes are secrets, so it might stop coming true if I say it.
