Uh, yeah. Shun Maiyama. [ His name isn't really Shun, it's Haruki, but he introduced himself as Shun automatically and is too embarrassed to admit his mistake. Oops. ]
Are you home alone now? Or do you live with other people... My house used to be pretty empty for the first couple of months, but now it's been full for about a year now? It's pretty alright.
[inside, and towards the kitchen counter, where makoto places down the cake package.]
[makoto whirls around, and presents the headphones]
--here you go, by the way, Shun. These are a really good brand. Did you get them? The wireless ones are a bit expensive, but I think they're worth the investment, if you're in the market for new ones in the future.

He opens the door. ]
Hey. Are you in a hurry or something?
Re: text, october 2
[ah, it's the first time they meet in person, isn't it?]
Shun, right? I'm Makoto! --ah, I mean, you probably remember... It's nice to finally meet you in person!
Re: text, october 2
Nice to meet you too.
[ ......
Now what. ]
Re: text, october 2
--ah, yeah. Shall we go in?
Re: text, october 2
Ah, yeah, sure.
[ He'll be so embarrassed if he finds out Makoto knows. ]
Come in.
Re: text, october 2
[inside, and towards the kitchen counter, where makoto places down the cake package.]
Here you are.
Re: text, october 2
[ Which is still kind of weird, okay.
Also, the opened birthday present from the landlord is on the table, his headphone cable still in a mess. Don't pay attention to the obvious. ]
Thanks.

[...]
[makoto looks around and is slowly putting two and two together]
Do you need help untangling that? I kinda like untangling things.
Re: text, october 2
[ Don't look at him. It's not like he wanted to spend his birthday with someone or anything, okay. ]
Uh. I guess. If you want to.
Re: text, october 2
Have you had a good day so far?
Re: text, october 2
[ What? Oh. Plates. They need plates. And spoons. Is the cake already in pieces or does he need a knife too? ]
...Do you want anything to drink?
Re: text, october 2
[you should know this feeling, fellow japanese friend]
Re: text, october 2
[ Excuse him fumbling to find tea and see if they're bags or leaves. Ah, there. Mugs, mugs... ]
We have... green tea and red tea.
Re: text, october 2
[these tangles are a pain, but makoto likes this kind of handiwork. it helps him focus and relax, so while shun fumbles, makoto is chill.]
You like to listen to music, don't you?
Re: text, october 2
[ He'll fix the tea then. It'll just take a couple of minutes. ]
Yes! I mean, yeah, I'm gonna be a musician, so of course I listen to a lot of music.
Re: text, october 2
Re: text, october 2
Re: text, october 2
[stops messing around with the cable] It's my favourite type too!
Re: text, october 2
[ Never mind that Shun sings pop with his idol group. ]
Re: text, october 2
[a sigh, but--the cables are untangled now]
I don't dislike pop, but it's not my preferred genre.
Re: text, october 2
[ There's plates to put the cake on and forks and the tea is almost ready.
Now he has to decide if he has to bring a knife or not... Okay, he'll get one, and hope that it's actually needed. ]

Re: text, october 2
Uh, yeah, I'll look into it. And uh, yeah, I bought them in Tokyo.
