Wow, it looks like even the City's changed for today! This is really amazing! There's been a lot of stuff going on today. And everyone else is going trick-or-treating later, so I'm going with them! I've never really gotten to do any of this before since it's such a western holiday. I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun. Everyone be safe tonight, okay?

And today's something else important, too.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KID!

I hope you're having a lot of fun today, Kid. Let's have a party tonight after trick-or-treating with Keiichi-san and everyone.

...I didn't think it was.

surpraiz action; FUFUFUFUFU

[anti-asymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Hear that knocking at your door? That INSISTENT knocking? OPEN SESAME.]

surpraiz action; BUT IS IT REALLY SURPAIZ?

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

Eh?

[She hears it and wonders wtf that is. ANSWERING IT, and opens the door.]

Yes?

surpraiz action; NOT TO YOU, MAYBE. 8D

[anti-asymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Oh look, Hikaru! It's your TWITTERPATED KIDDO-KUN. Have a very enthusiastic hug. Very. Enthusiastic.]

surpraiz action; YES WELL. >:

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

[And she almost falls over with the hug and just stares at him. Once she's coordinated again, though, she hugs him back -- nervously]

K-kid...

surpraiz action; AMIRITE OR AMIRITE.

[anti-asymmetry.livejournal.com]

[For once, he isn't feeling nervous or awkward around her at all. Why? Probably because she's made him ridiculously happy by dedicating so much time to him. So he pulls back a little and cups her face between his hands without thinking, and just. Smiles.]

I don't deserve you.

surpraiz action; ALWAYS RIGHT

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

[Hands around the face, no way to look away. An awkward blush started building in her cheeks.]

...I'm really not that great, Kid.

surpraiz action;

[anti-asymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He laughs, shakes his head.]

If you could see yourself through my eyes, you'd think differently.

[Aaaand, realization is starting to set in about where his hands are. Cue his own blush as he hastily moves his hands to rest on her shoulders instead.]

surpraiz action;

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

[When he moves his hands, she watches him a minute, then smiles and moves to hug him]

You're a good person, Kid.

surpraiz action;

[anti-asymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Oh...damnation. He's such a sucker for huuuugs. Have a return hug- complete with burying of the face against the crook of her neck.]

Not good enough yet. [His voice sounds muffled.]

surpraiz action;

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

Hm? [She tried to look at him, so pulling away commenced]

What?

surpraiz action;

[anti-asymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Part of him wanted to pout and yank her back into a hug, but he showed remarkable restraint, oh yes.]

...I said I wasn't good enough yet.

surpraiz action;

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

[Ah, that face. She felt bad for asking when she saw it.]

...You are. I can tell.

surpraiz action; GETTING TIRED, ORZ

[anti-asymmetry.livejournal.com]

Everyone has room to improve, though.

[He forces a grin, but what he's really thinking is, Am I good enough for you?]

surpraiz action; BUT IT'S SO EARLY. >:

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

[She watches him carefully.]

...Kid. Wolfwood-niisan told me to not smile if you aren't happy. You shouldn't do that either.

[And she lowers her head a moment, remembering the psuedo-big brother. but only for a second or two, then she smiles]

I should give you the birthday present I made for you.

surpraiz action; I WAS *UP* EARLY. D:

[anti-asymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He'd been about to reply to her suggestion, but it was no longer necessary to do so. This smile was genuine, if not a little baffled.]

...Present? You mean the message wasn't...

surpraiz action; ...THIS IS SADLY TRUE. D:

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

No, it wasn't.

[With that, she disappears over to her bed for a moment to get something from under it. She comes back to him with ...as perfectly a square box as she could get for it and offers it to him.]

Here.

surpraiz action; AND I HAVE TO BE UP EARLY AGAIN

[anti-asymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He accepts the near-perfectly square box almost reverently, feeling another surge of affection for Hikaru as he does so. He looks from the box to her and back again before asking:]

Would you mind if I sat on your bed to open it?

surpraiz action; WHAT IS THIS FAIL OF YOUR JOB.

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

...Of course I wouldn't mind. Go ahead.

surpraiz action; IT ISN'T MY JOB. IT'S MY BATHROOM. Still gotta shower at the gym before work. >>

[anti-asymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Hikaru's bed shouldn't be any different than his bed, especially since they've shared his bed while her nightmares persisted, but. But. It is different, though he doesn't say as much out loud, and he hopes his body-language doesn't betray his thoughts as he sits down (near her pillows) with the box in his lap.

Now to begin the arduous process of getting the lovely red wrapping paper off. It took a while to unwrap Keiichi's...gift...but this would probably take longer.

...About a half-an-hour, to be exact. Once the wrapping comes free, he sets it to the side and removes the lid of the box, which he also sets to the side.]

...Hikaru, this is-

[Lifting his gift out of the box, he positively beams.]
