Raven sighed, grabbing a knife from the rack. On the counter, a birthday cake and a single lit candle sat side by side. She cut 6 slices from it, placing each on separate plates.

"And the last one for me" Sarcasm laced her comment as she placed the other 5 plates in the fridge. None of her roommates were able to stick around tonight, each being whisked away by their own business, except one. She presumed he just didn't care enough to even bother leaving his room, seeing as he hasn't left from it at all. He was the one she had really hoped would at least care to bother pretending to care about.

She carefully lifted a fork to the cake. Mc had 'made' it for her the day prior, giving it to her earlier that morning before apologizing profusely for being unable to spend the day with her. Her horned and horny boyfriend soin followed after her, her own vousin being too preoccupied for her. Edd and Matt were their own story, seeing as the two snuck out late in the night with only a note from the night explaining their sudden disappearance. She hadn't cared for their presence though, so they could die for all she cared.

Her fork dipped into the slice, a piece of strawberry on the end. Yeah, Mc definitely made this cake. Too bad they can't share it together with everyone else. Assholes.

Just as another sigh left her lips, her cat ears twitched at the sound of footsteps. More specifically, heavy, sleep deprived steps coming down the stairs. Turning her head to see just what was going on, Raven found Tom, shitfaced and disheveled. She assumed so, anyway.

"Fuck, I'm tired" He mumbled, walking into the kitchen and right past her. She pretended not to notice him though, holding her phone with a message thread between her and some rando open to make it seem like she had actually been doing something. "Happy birthday..."

What was that? She wanted to ask if she heard him correctly, but she also didn't want it to seem as though she cared or anything. Out of the corner of her brown eyes, she saw him reach into the fridge and pull out one of the slices before placing it on the counter beside where she currently resided. He grabbed a fork and held a small smile.

"Um-"

"I know you don't exactly enjoy my presence too much, but you seem lonely" He states, taking a piece from the slice on his plate "And I heard Mc made cake with her own strawberry stash. Never miss out on that" They shared a laugh at the comment, clinking forks in cheers.

The two found themselves up for hours at, talking about whatever came to mind. Half of the cake was gone, the other half hidden away in the fridge to prevent any more missing pieces.

"Gosh, this was amazing" Raven states, stretching to a stance. A smile had been on her face all night and her birthday had been way more interesting than expected "We should do this more often"

The realization hit her like a rock once the words left her mouth. She quickly shook her head nervously, raising her hands to deny any misunderstandings she could possibly enjoy. These were stopped suddenly at "Yeah"

There was a small comforting silence for a moment, a smile of complete and udder joy written on her face. She nodded quickly, putting all the dirty dishes in the sink "Yeah, w-we should!"

A/n: I really cut this one close, huh? Hope you enjoy, Ravey! I tried to finish before it was officially the 24th. Anyway, hope you enjoy rklolipop! Happy birthday!
