[ Even if she were the type to consider everything she could ask Tseng for, nothing holds as much appeal for Aerith as just simply getting to spend more time with him. Both times she's given away her heart, it was all she wanted, first from Zack, and now Tseng. She wants him, but separate from duty and the malignant, looming presence of Shinra. Stealing him away for her birthday seems like the best way to achieve that goal, and occupy more hours than she would have by just asking him to take her out somewhere to celebrate.
Just the quiet certainty behind the hand he settles on her back feels like a party to her, or at the very least, a cause for celebration. It shouldn't, but Aerith's never been closer to reconciling how it's okay that it does anyway than she is right now.
For a brief moment her weight pitches forward just enough to settle her chest against his, snuggling into him for a fleeting hug before she's pulling back, looping both of her arms through one of his. ]
Cake it is! Let's go Tseng! [ Cheerfully all-business, she's already moving towards the way out, fully ready to climb into his car and let the birthday festivities begin. ]
