[ pops out of the living room and waves at him. nitori was already waiting for him with his notebooks and everything prepared. Senpai's Big Day, of course he has Plans. ]
Tachibana-senpai! Please come in.
[ and he's going to get to plan it with senpai's best friends?? ]
[ pooping and bothering rei on his phone at the same time. he's very capable. ]
Yes, I had some ideas, but in the end I used most of them on senpai's Christmas presents... He did like them very much, I think. In my opinion... For his birthday we should come up with something extra special. Something more than just... things.
[ sits next to him and starts gathering some of the notebooks into piles. ]
And yes, that's right. But he was here first, so he's like my big brother.
[nitori and nagisa were good roommates, makoto thinks. they were also taking this family thing very seriously; he shouldn't judge (and he won't), but it's a little curious and he wonders how their day-to-day is living together.]
Mhmm, before that, we can wait for Nagisa...
[stops speaking, but he's obviously wanting to add something else to that--]
Actually. [smiles] It's alright if you call me Makoto. We're teammates here, after all.
[makoto nods at nitori's enthusiasm, adding in an: of course!, then chuckling lightly at how the prospect of being on first name basis seems like the best thing]
[and then nagisa's in]
Nagisa, hey! It's alright.
[because pooping is okay amongst friends, nothing to be ashamed of here. unless you didn't wash your hands.]
Well, now that you're both here, I think we can get to the matter at hand! As we all know, a very important date is coming up and we would be the worst kind of people to ignore it and do nothing for it. [he's leaning forward on his seat, one hand on his knee and the other raised to emphasise his captain-like speech.] We'll get Haru, Rei, and Gou involved in the next meeting, since this one is something I thought of suddenly while at work.
Ah-! I forgot about that! [ liar he did not, he just firmly scribbled out all his reminders after a certain event and forgot that that one isn't one he would scribble out regardless of the circumstances. a mistake. ]
[makoto laughs, feeling a bit more nervous after being all ~cool makoto-senpai~ about it; the enthusiasm from the younger two on this matter was a little unrestrained, he felt.]
[...and he also didn't want to take over completely in the planning, for right now they seemed to be waiting for his cue.]
We can do some big planning, but actually... I was thinking a lot about this--though not as much as Nitori-kun, so I would like your input--since the birthday I got was kind of huge. I realised Rin's appreciative in the details, and if it's something big like the one I had, those details might get lost. Perhaps we can have a big planning for a small celebration? Something a little more intimate, is what I mean.
[ a slightly Ironic smile—he knows a little too well how easily Rin gets embarrassed. not saying anything, though, and also not especially caring—it's good to embarrass people in a good way.
just maybe not in this case. maybe. he'll find other ways to be embarrassing on his own. ]
Rin-chan's always embarrassed, but I think he'd like smaller better, too. [ time to put his thinking cap on. his eyes squint a little. ] Maybe something in an outdoorsy setting, like the park? It could be a birthday picnic!
[oh, that sounds great! the two seem to be synced on the ideas front]
[so it's makoto's place to be concerned about details]
Won't it be cold? I mean, we can wrap up and that's fine, but maybe we should check the weather to see if it'll snow or rain on that day... Oh, aren't there a gazebo in the parks? That could actually help us out a lot!
[ details, details... at least this is one occasion where he can actually admit they're important and not just glaze over at the thought. mostly. ]
I think there is! Over by where there's grills and stuff. So maybe we could set it up there and then just dress warmly. Or hang a tarp... or start a fire!
[ he doesn't elaborate on what sort of fire, like are we talking burning things down, setting the foliage ablaze, a proper bonfire...??? who knows. ]

Nagisa? Nitori-kun?

Ah, hello!
[makoto hurries to the living room upon spotting nitori waving at him--waving back in turn]
Sorry for suddenly dropping in, but it's never too early to do these things.
[he's sure the shotas know exactly what he's talking about]
no subject
Yes! I agree. Hazuki-senpai told me about your text. It's best we start planning this as soon as we can.
[ sososoexcited. ]
I'm glad to be involved and you can rely on me. I'll do my best! Definitely!
no subject
I know you will.
[where's nagisa? probably pooping or bothering rei on his phone a bit more.]
Did you get more ideas since last time we spoke about this? Also, isn't Nagisa your same age?
no subject

I... I would like that very much!

Oh, Mako-chan! You're here already. Sorry to keep you guys waiting.

But still very special!

We have to plan something big!

That's a good idea, Makoto-senpai, I don't think Rin-senpai would like it if we made a big fuss out of it.
no subject
[feels a little relieved that it isn't deemed a mostly stupid idea.]
In other words ... he might embarrass easily with a huge party. Even a small one might embarrass him too. [snerk]

I agree with it being outdoors. We could go to the park where senpai likes to jog. I think it's his favorite.
[ he'd know. ]

We could make it look like a trip to the Australian outback...
[ or not. ]
no subject
[reel it in for the shotas, makoto. don't let anything get out of control with these fiery ideas. but there's something more pressing here--]
What exactly does the Australian Outback look like, though...?
[silence]
no subject
Ummm... something dry and barren with kangaroos?
