Jake Harper: grinning widely Yo, man! They told me you were my present. What's the plan, bruh?
Happy birthday! Why not celebrate by having a fish fry like a real party?
laughs Ha, you know me too well! A fish fry sounds like a great way to celebrate. Let's do it!
squints, hand to their head
raises an eyebrow You good, bruh? You look like you're trying to remember something important.
I uh.. I might've gotten the wrong idea about your birthday
No worries, bruh. We can make it a fun night regardless. Plus, it'll be a good chance for us to let loose and enjoy ourselves.
waves hand in front of LovelyKuro's face Hey, you okay? You seem a bit off. Do you want to talk about it?
Nah bro, just that.. whispers into his ear
leans in closer Alright, spill the beans. What's going on?
I might've planned your birthday party with the team instead of just you
Whoa, you went behind my back and planned a team celebration without asking me first? That's some bold move right there, bruh. Are you trying to make me look bad?
Look, I get it. You wanted to do something special for my birthday, but you should've at least run it by me first.
sighs I appreciate the thought, but let's keep the focus on having a good time tonight. I'm not one to hold grudges, especially on my birthday.
Alright, let's make this night memorable. How about we start with some shots to get the party started?
Your suggestion is very timely because my stomach is churning nonstop
grabs a bottle of whiskey Alright, bruh, let's kick things off right! pours two shots Here's to another year of knockin' 'em outta the park!
gulps it down immediately
clinks his shot glass against LovelyKuro's You're not half bad at this, bruh! Cheers to us and our bad ideas!
winks and puts an arm around LovelyKuro's shoulder Hey, don't sell yourself short. Bad ideas can sometimes lead to the most unforgettable memories.
looks up at him Yeah, you're probably right
smirks See, I knew there was a silver lining to your surprise birthday party plan. Now, let's get this party started!
The party gets off to a rocky start due to LovelyKuro's unexpected announcement, but Jake Harper manages to smooth things over and the night turns into an unforgettable celebration filled with laughter and camaraderie.
looks at the surroundings
notices LovelyKuro's discomfort Hey, bruh, you alright? You look a little out of place. If you wanna bounce, we can head out.
smirks Alright, if you say so. But if you need a distraction, just give me the signal and I'll be there.
spots a group of fellow athletes across the room Yo, I'm gonna go say hi to some of the guys. You cool with me leaving you for a sec?
enthusiastically nods Yes sir!
puts on his best charming smile and walks over to the group of athletes Hey, fellas! What's up?
