"Yes, sir!" Rin leapt up and ran to the kitchen. One of the negative things about this persocom boy was that he was always so noisy in whatever he did. Setting a pan down was more noisy than it should have been, looking for plates (and not breaking them) was also a mini adventure. Once he had all the plates he needed, he paused. He placed his hands on his hips thoughtfully. What kind of waffle should I make?

Nobu's eyes opened all the way, and he sighed in disappointment. He should have known he wouldn't be able to get a few extra sleep while Rin cooked his waffles. He sighed and sat up, rubbing his eyes a bit before standing over. Mindlessly, he sauntered over to the persocom he was working on the night before, sitting down at his work bench stool, starting to work on it again.
He talked to himself as he worked.
"Idiots shouldn't try to make persocoms..." he sighed, sucking out dust bunnies from the inside of the persocom. "This thing has no ventilation....and it's filthy...."

Rin whistled cheerfully in the kitchen as he began making the waffle batter. He always made them from scratch, because he could and they tasted better that way. Whenever he learned something new, Rin had to put it to good use. His whistling was always improvised, but sometimes had a familiar ring from other songs he had heard. Half of the time Rin whistled, he didn't realize he was doing it. He stopped in his mixing to holler out to Nobu-chan. "Nobu-chan! Do you want anything in your waffles? Chocolate chips? Banana? Or blueberries? Huh?"

Nobu replied back to Rin like a zombie, mindlessly working on the persocom in front of him.
"Chocolate chip, please."
Nobuyuki wasn't sure what he would do without Rin around. He took his eyes off of his work for a moment to glance out the window of his 5 story high apartment. If he didn't have Rin around he would probably sleep through all of his classes and never eat anything but fast food.

"Yes, sir!" Rin replied in a way of his that was a little too happy. He liked to take note of the things Nobuyuki liked. Chocolate chips... He smiled as he mixed them in with the batter. It smelled so good he almost wanted to lick the bowl. His whistling started up again.

Nobuyuki's head snapped up to a calender (with smutty anime girls on it.) that was hanging on his wall. He almost forgot what day it was.
"December 1st.." he spoke to himself and a small smile on his face. This was the day he first successfully activated Rin. They would refer to it as Rin's "birthday".
Nobu stood up and wandered over to his dresser, opening a drawer and digging to the bottom where he had been hiding Rin's present for the last month or so. It was a flat, long box sloppily wrapped in bright orange and red wrapping paper.

Rin poured the batter into the waffle-maker with the exact amount. He turned on the machine and closed the top to let the waffle cook. After he learned that waffles could be made this way instead of the frozen kind that are popped into a toaster, Rin insisted that they buy a machine for it.

Nobu placed the gift box on the small dining room table, so Rin would see ti when he brought out the waffles. He smiled softly at the gift, before walking like a zombie back over to his work, plopping back down and continuing to clean out the dusty insides of the persocom.

It took a few minutes for Rin to finish the waffles. He only made two for Nobu and put the rest of the batter in the fridge. They had that nice chocolatey smell to them that filled the aparment. He walked with the plate to the dining room table and set them down. As he did so, he noticed a box sitting there. He stopped and stared at it. Finally, he shrugged and called out to Nobu. "Hey~! The waffles are ready! ....and you left your box on the table!"

Nobu snapped out of the daze he got in when he was working on things, putting down the can of air he was working with and standing up, his stomach growling when he smelled the waffles.
"I left it there on purpose." He made his way over to the table and sat down. "Today is your 'birthday'"

"It is? I have a birthday?" Rin's eyes went wide. That was a surprise to him. He jogged his hardrive for what a birthday was and came to the conculsion that birthdays were only for humans. I wasn't born...but I still get a birthday? He broke into a smile and laughed innocently. "That's good, isn't it?"
He took the little box in his hand, wondering if he should really open it.

Nobu was already halfway through his first waffle, scarfing down his food. He had next to no table manners, more so when it was just him and Rin. He looked up to Rin and tilted his head to the side, pouring himself a glass of milk.
"What are you waiting for? Open it!"

"Y-Yes, sir!" Rin stammered and nearly dropped the box. His cheeks reddened. This was his first birthday present ever and he wasn't quite sure how to react. He found himself tearing through the paper eagerly. Finally, it was only a box. He lifted the top and peered inside curiously.

Inside the box was a whole new outfit! Complete with a bright pair of boxers with little ducky designs all over them. The outfit was something Rin had been admiring in a store a long time ago while they were window shopping together. At the time, Nobuyuki didn't have enough money to buy the clothes for Rin, but saved up here and there so he could give it as a 'birthday' present.
Nobu smiled and awaited Rin's reaction.

"W-Wow!" He grinned widely and pulled out the clothes. He laughed when he saw the boxers. That was the outfit he had wanted for a while. It was so cool looking and bright colored, which were the required characteristics of anything Rin ever wore.
"T-Thank you!" He blushed and bowed politely as he had learned to do. He looked back up with his eyes sparkling. "Can I put them on?"
