Well... things might have stared out weird, but all in all, that was certainly a great day.
After wrapping up the party at the karaoke bar, the Summer Snow gang returned to their apartment to find Andromeda, Aether, Carter and Toby waiting for them with ice cream cake. After some gushing and insistence that they were spoiling him, Evan and his friends sat down for one last huzzah and a delicious ending to his birthday. Then, once everyone was satisfied and the cleanup was finished, the team called it a night and readied themselves for a well-deserved rest.
Having already showered upon her initial return home, Swift simply retreated into her and Evan's shared bedroom and changed into her PJs in privacy. While she waited for Evan to join her, she sat on the bed, legs curled up, hat still adorning her untied hair, a small, wrapped box in her hand. She was certainly ready for some proper sleep, and while she didn't look sad, per se, something had certainly lowered her spirits.
She had a fun day, absolutely. There were just some things that needed addressed.

Evan really and truly felt like he was on top of the world. Everything had come together perfectly to give him one of the best birthdays he could've ever had. And now, having had his fill of family fun, games, music and ice cream cake, he was ready to wrap it all up and end the day on a high note.
After quickly washing off, Evan stepped into his room where Swift was waiting for him. She was already in her pajamas... He couldn't help but notice that she was wearing the fuzzy pajama pants with the pink and blue hearts that he had gotten her.
"Heheh... Have I ever mentioned how adorable you are?"

Swift giggled and blushed, her ears folding back. "Yes, actually. Quite a few times, if I recall correctly."
Once the door was closed and Evan was close enough, Swift held up the gift box for him. "One last thing before the day is over..."

"Aww, Swift..." Evan sat down on the bed and hugged her, hardly paying any mind to the present. "You didn't have to get me anything. Just having you back, knowing you're safe, spending the day with you... that's all I wanted."

"I'm glad..." Swift cuddled up to him nicely. "But what kind of girlfriend would I be if I didn't at least try to give you something worthwhile? So here. Take it." She then pulled back and held the little box up to his face, smirking playfully.

Evan snickered, knowing too well that there was no point in arguing, and gratefully accepted the gift. "Thank you." He then pulled the ribbon off and quickly tore the paper away...

Once Evan lifted up the lid of the box, inside he would find a key chain with a series of four charms. One was a box of popcorn. One was a key. One was a wolf. And one was a simple silver pendant engraved with "NES" on one side and "Jeremiah 29:11" on the other.

Evan held the chain up to his eye level, staring at it wordlessly for the longest time, completely floored by the lovely charms. So simple, yet so poignant. A reminder of where they came from. Even if it was just the two of them and their closest compatriots here without Natalie and Team Popcorn, the spirit of the NES still held strong across the multiverse.
"Swift... This... This is great. I love it."

Swift giggled, her tail very slightly wagging. "I thought you would. You have no idea the heights and depths I had to search to find some of those! Heheh... I'm not even sure what you would do with it, but... it's still nice to have, I guess."

"Yeah... Yeah, it's nice to have. Thank you." His emotions were powerful but subdued. All of the excitement and enthusiasm he had felt all day had smoothly transitioned into a calm passion. Slowly and gently, Evan placed the key chain back in its box, set it on his night stand, then wrapped his arms around Swift again and pressed his lips against hers.

Swift pressed herself against Evan, feverishly returning the kiss, breathing in his scent, sinking in the security of his embrace. Eventually, with a soft smacking sound, she pulled away. She chuckled a little bit in a particularly dorky way, as if fumbling to find the right words to say, until she finally just leaned back in and kissed him again.

Evan laughed along with Swift, then he just lost himself in her affections. He held her close, kissing her lips and her cheeks and her nose over and over again until he finally willed himself to stop, barely containing more laughter. "Hahaha okay okay okay... Just... hold on... lemme..."
He raised a finger, tapping her on the nose, before climbing off the bed and moving over to his dresser. "Close your eyes!"

"Aww... You're gonna keep me waiting again?!" Swift teased before lying down on the bed, turning away from Evan and shoving her hat in her face. She was giggling all the while, though she at least had the decency and respect to give Evan his privacy.

After changing into his boxers and undershirt, Evan leaped onto the bed, bouncing for a moment before lying down next to Swift. "Whew! Much obliged, m'lady. Sorry I took so long." He swiped her hat and tossed it onto her side table. "Now where were we?"

"Mm-hmm-hmmmm..." Swift snickered playfully, thumping his chest and planting a quick peck on his nose. "So, Mr. Nine Plus Ten, whatcha think? Great day or BEST day?"
