“Yeah, I mean, I guess... But I was waiting for you for like, three minutes, you couldn’t have gotten that many! And a smooch from me wouldn’t mean the same now, would it?” He huffed, pulling his hand from Toby’s to stick it in his pocket in a faux sulk. His expression relaxed just a little though when reassured he was first. “Oh, so there was a contest over it? What, so that means someone else could have come by and you would have gone with them? Too bad for them! Izzy is the one who wins!” To celebrate his victory over the weak , sad failure people, he pulled out his camera and held it up to take a selfie with Toby, putting his arm back around his shoulders. “Say cheese, Toby! We are gonna to document this day well, so all will be jealous of how awesome of an Izzy you got!”

“Yeah,” Toby said honestly. Nobody but Izzy would have come by, truthfully, but if anyone else had, he’d certainly have considered it. “You won!” He laughed, and then let out a small ‘oop!’ As he was pulled in to the selfie. “Cheese!” He declared, and gave a little thumbs up for the camera, too. “Clearly got the best Izzy,” he agreed after the pic was taken. This was going to be a very interesting day, if just the walk over to this place was gonna be so eventful. Maybe by the end he’d divine whether or not Izzy was playing with him, or was just naturally very flirty. Maybe.

In typical fashion, Izzy stuck his tongue out when he snapped the first pic. And then another one, and then finally, when he aaalmost done, he leaned over and put a peck right on Toby's cheek, quickly hitting the button before pulling away. "Hehehe, Perfect! I got the first birthday smooch too!" He seemed not the least bit bothered by it, fuddling with his phone until he found Toby's name and sent the picture to him too. It wasn't the best, a horrible angle, a liiiiittle fuzzy, but proof of what he had done. "Now you can send that to your crush and let them know what they're missing out on! Alright, time to hurry up! We got some bagels calling our name!"

Toby did his best to pose appropriately with Izzy's motions, but it went pretty quick, so he mostly just looked bemused in all of them...except the last, where his face had gotten quickly red, and his eyebrows were up quite high. While Izzy busied himself with checking the pictures and sending it on, Toby mostly just breathed heavily and tried to remain moderately calm. He...mostly succeeded. "Okay, yeah," Toby agreed, face still fairly red. "To bagels!" He pointed in the air and generally in the right direction, and started moving.

“To bagels!” Just as Toby didn’t say much about the kiss, neither did Izzy, who switched from sending pictures to seeing what bagel shop was on the way. One tiny mom and pop type shop was on the way, with pretty good reviews, so he headed on towards it. Not before taking Toby’s arm and pulling him along with him. “So besides hanging out with the Best Izzy in the world, and learning to skate, what else do you want for your birthday? You can ask for so many things, since you’re a good kid. what did you ask your parents for?”

Toby let himself be pulled along, grinning all the way. “Oh, uh, I asked them for a couple things. The big one, I guess, was a DVD set of My Hero Academia,” Toby told him. “They usually get me whatever I ask for, but, you know, I don’t wanna ask for too much.” “And other than that, I think learning to skate and having some pizza is a pretty good gift.”

“Really? That’s it? You’re just so... Easy to please. Are you a saint or something?” The though of Toby not being selfish, even on his birthday, bugged the heck out of Izzy. Such selfless people couldn’t be trusted! They were always scheming... Not in the cool way he schemed, in a bad way kinda scheming. “... Nah, you gotta be selfish. Otherwise I’ll think you’re a robot. Okay, so you have an assignment now. By the end of the day, you gotta come up with one gift you really really REALLY want, but don’t wanna ask because it’s ‘too much’. And then you tell me. Got it?” There was no room for negotiation, but there was no real penalty for not following the tasks. Izzy just knew he’d listen though. Honestly, he couldn’t think of when Toby didn’t listen to him. He made an excellent minion.

"Nah, nothing like that," Toby replied, shaking his head. "I'm not a saint. My parents just, uh, you know usually get me anything I ask for, but I know how money works. I don't wanna push it so hard they stop, ya know?" He smirked. It was true, really, he always had pretty much everything he asked for, and was easy to please. All in all, he reflected, he was probably kind of boring, if not for his Senshi adventures. "Being a robot might be kinda cool, as long as it was like, oh, Megaman, or Data, and not like..." He rocked his head around, considering, "Cybermen or something." Then he pointed to Izzy. "But do you mean something I want from you, or just something at all?"

“It’s your birthday Toby! That and Christmas are the only days where you CAN ask for exactly what you want! But you do you. If you’re happy with what you got, then good on yah. I just gotta try extra hard to make sure I can get you something to make you happy too.” The idea of spoiling someone who wasn’t family was pretty nice... Especially if it kept getting a nice flustered reaction from Toby. “You’re too nice to be an evil robot. You can be a... Uh.. Servbot! Those are cute and pitiful and need to be protected because they are too precious. And I can be here and protect you from those scary bad... Good guys.” Were Servbots bad? Nah, they were cute like Kirby. They couldn’t be. “You gotta pick something from me. Something I can give you.”

“But miss Tronnnn,” Toby whined playfully at Izzy. Then in a normal voice he said, “Okay, I’ll think of something...just gotta give me some time to think of it.” As they approached the bagels place, he said, “Does buying me fancy bagels count? Cuz you can definitely buy me bagels.”

“Don’t you sass me, young robot!” He laughed, shaking his head. It was a shame Halloween was so close, it was too late to make that into a costume for them! ...Though he could do without the leotard right now. Too cold. “No, bagels don’t count. That was decided before I gave you the mission. I will definitely buy you bagels. Up to three bagels. You gotta save some room for cake later.”

“If you say so, Miss Tronnnn!” Toby replied, using the ‘servbot’ voice again. “I think,” he said, speaking normally again, “Just one really fancy bagel, and a regular one, will do. Saving room, ya know.” He nodded. Something with lots of flavors, definitely. He advanced on in to the bagel joint, and considered his possibilities. He had every intention of doing exactly what he said: Something fancy, and something more boring (but still tasty) like blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese. “What do you usually get?”

“Cool cool cool. I’mma get a meaty bagel sandwich and some hash browns.” When the entered, the smell of warm, freshly baked bread hit him with some force, making him smile. Dang, he was way hungrier than he thought he was. After they ordered and took a sweet, Izzy pulled out his phone, scrolling through a few things, like exactly what time the roller rink opened, and if they happened to have coupons for pizzas. “You know... Maybe we should see about renting you some knee and elbow pads for when we go skating. I’d feel really bad if you busted your butt under my guidance.”

Toby placed his order, and sat with Izzy. He didn’t pull out his phone, since he didn’t have anything in particular he wanted to check. He was busy checking someone out already, after all. “Knee and elbow pads?” He asked and laughed, shrugging. “I’m sure I’ll be fine, but I will bow to the expertise of the master skater.” He even bowed slightly in his seat. “I guess I could use that to pull sick skid maneuvers, right?” No, it really didn’t sound natural for him to say it like that. But that was probably part of why he was still grinning.

He raised an eyebrow, then looked over his phone to Toby. “Dude, no. No one talks like that, this isn’t the 90’s. How do you even know how to talk like that?” Yes, he was judging a little. It was too early to be dealt too many bad jokes. “I think I like the servbot voice better. It was cute, and suited you more than the skater bruh voice.”
