Lu had never had a big birthday party for himself or for friends. His siblings had had big ones, but Lu never had wanted something huge and noisy and full of all his classmates, their mothers, and their cows. ...The cow thing had only happened once at his sister's party, but ever since he'd been wary about farm animals and parties. Not a good combination.
Things good for parties included cupcakes, silly presents, and surprise day trips. Lu had a feeling Zacharie wasn't one for big, extravagant parties in honour of him getting older(maybe he'd like the presents and sweets, though), so he'd planned something small, just for the two of them, made some cupcakes, and made sure he had the day off. It was still early when Lu got out of bed and ready for the day(including packing some sandwiches and water bottles, because it is very important to stay hydrated and fed when wandering nature!). He picked out some loose jeans, a white t-shirt, and a thin grey jacket(as his favourite pink one had been destroyed). Lu pulled his hair back in a braid and made sure the facial hair he'd been growing out was trimmed nicely. There was no need to dress to impress his friend, but he liked his beard. It made him look older.
With a small backpack on his shoulder, a gift wrapped box in his arms, and a tray of cupcakes stacked on top of it, the brunet headed for Zacharie's room and prayed his purple haired friend would answer, not his roommate. After knocking on his door, Lu shifted the present and cupcakes in his arms nervously, hoping Zacharie wouldn't find his little surprise stupid.

Huh. Must be some odd Zacharie joke. Obviously Zacharie knew who he was- sure, they hadn't seen each other in a while, busy with their own things, but... the facial hair didn't make him look that different, did it? Zacharie hadn't looked at him with that kind of expression since he'd run him down with a mop, though.
... Okay, maybe he was just tired.
"Hey, Zacharie. Um... good morning," he said, offering a nervous smile. "I hope I didn't disturb your sleep too early. You wanna come to the cafeteria with me, maybe..? I got you some things." He shifted the box and cupcakes.

Lu half smiled, head tilted with a confused look on his face. "Uh, yup... how many people do you know who are as tall as me?" He joked, a little self conscious of his beard. ...It didn't look that bad, right? Lu followed Zacharie back into the room and looked over at the desk. Ah, yes... some of that stuff looked like it was best kept far away from the cupcakes.
"...You think the beard is weird? I keep it trimmed..." Lu asked, shifting his boxes into one arm while he cleared a spot on Zacharie's desk for the presents. "Ah, that's good- we shouldn't be out too late, if you have to go to bed early or anything. To make up for sleep, or, yeah..." Lu glanced over some of the vials on Zacharie's desk while his friend looked for clothes. "I'd dress athletic. ...I mean, not for like, football, but hiking. Or nice walking clothes. Walking, outside. In nature? ...Is this vial that poison or the moisturizer you were working on..? They look the same..."

Lu listened to Zacharie's little talk about his facial hair and couldn't help a quiet laugh. "I think it makes me look, uh, you know... older? More mature?" He said, leaning back against the desk. He laughed again at the glare he got for rambling, but shut up anyway and stuck his hands in his pockets.
Ah, good. Even if it was Zacharie, keeping poison around the room wasn't something he advised. Sure, Zacharie was probably the smartest guy he knew, but smarts didn't stop a vial from knocking over in the night and filling the room with noxious gases. Lu greatly preferred Zacharie alive. Setting the moisturizer down with a nod, Lu pulled the present box out from under the cupcakes.
"You have to wait to have the other present, but you can have this one now. If you want to open it and all.." Lu said, holding it out to him. It'd taken him a lot of work, though he'd had plenty of free time while he was recovering from the mission he'd been on. Recently, he'd spent more time working on the present for Zacharie than actually with him... but hopefully, Zacharie would like the gift.

Zacharie shrugged lightly as he pulled his socks on, "I suppose it does." He mumbled, nearly stumbling as he struggled with one of his socks. "I'm no expert on what makes someone look more mature." Just look at him, nineteen years old and he still got confused for a 12 year old. "Like I said though, it doesn't look bad. As long as you like it." As soon as both socks were successfully on his feet, he reached out and all but snatched the present out of Lu's hand.
He adored getting presents. Which wasn't odd since he'd only ever gotten impersonal presents or just money to buy whatever he wanted from his parents.
"Alright, I can wait." He grumbled distractedly as he tore the wrapping paper off the the box. He had no idea what it could be. He shook it and heard nothing but soft, muffled, thumps...so it probably wasn't anything breakable. Wasn't heavy enough for a book. He flipped the lid up and...
....Stared at the sweater that was inside.
It was a plain, black sweater, nothing to get excited over really except...it said 'No' in big, white, all-caps letters. He gingerly picked it up from the box and all but cradled it between his hands. It was softer than any sweater he could remember owning before (And he's owned a lot of sweaters in his lifetime.) and light, obviously meant to be worn with an undershirt or a jacket. "You got me a sweater..." He said softly as he rubbed the material between his fingers. "It's a very nice sweater."
