Birthday wishes

[shamelessness]

Who: Anyone!
What: Rin's Birthday
When: Dec. 27th
Where: House 15, in the living room
Summary: Shiemi is throwing Rin a birthday party. She's doing most of the setting up, but Rin was kind enough to cook for his own party. We don't want Shiemi killing anyone.
Rating: PG-13 at most I think.


Plants and heat lamps litter the living space of House 15, but they're all decorated in Christmas style. Baubles and shiny tinsel-like garland hand from bushes that range from fruit bearing to thorny. What might be most notable is that Mistletoe can be found almost everywhere. Shiemi saw people kissing under it a couple times, and despite it being a poisonous plant, if people really liked it that much then it should be at the party! The girl collected a lot of it, so people are bound to run into it! Feel free to get your grub on with Rin's homemade dishes, give out some kisses, or brag about the presents you did or did not get the Son of Satan.

[Shiemi why! He meant from before. Oh well.

Shu honestly didn't expect her to go and do that. His face flushes with red and he's trying so hard to hide his shock. Nonononono, Shiemi didn't cross a line. Okay, maybe this is getting out of hand, but Gai would not quit. Gai is not a quitter so Shu can't be a quitter.

He kisses her back on the cheek once she's done.]

Sorry, I didn't ask for permission to kiss you either.

[shamelessness]

[Shiemi happened to make a small, high pitched noise in her throat when Shu kissed her cheek. Her hand moves to touch the place where he kissed her, and her face feels like it's holding all the blood in her body.]

It... it's fine... I don't mind.

[iwannabethegai]

[Shu awkwardly looks around desperately looking for something to say. Whenever he gets worked up like this the truth is always bound to come out.]

You don't?! [He's embarrassed again.]

[shamelessness]

Is that a problem?!

[She squeaks that out as if she had just been accused of something inappropriate.]

[iwannabethegai]

No, it's not a problem I-[ The problem is him. Why is he getting so worked up over this? Shu lets out a sigh and hides behind some furniture. He needs two seconds to recover his brain.]

[shamelessness]

Should I, um, leave you alone?

1/4

[iwannabethegai]

Please don't go. [He'll end up feeling more lame if she leaves. Spare him.]

I'm embarrassed of myself. Calm down, Shu. You'll be okay. It's just Shiemi.

2/4

[iwannabethegai]

What do you mean by 'just Shiemi'. You kissed her idiot.

[He hit his head on a table while rambling to himself about such things--]

3/4

[iwannabethegai]

What are you going to say to Gai when he finds out? No, just think. He doesn't have to know. Am I trying to fool myself? Gai can find his way into my filtered conversations--Of course he'd find out.

The sky is blue and the grass is green and Shiemi's in front of me! That's not true. I'm hiding from her. I'm hiding from Shiemi. Grow a backbone, Shu. You're a leader now. You can't hide when you get embarrassed because of girls. [Sorry Shiemi his brain isn't functioning properly right now.]

4/4

[iwannabethegai]

[With that he gets out from hiding and yells.]

Shiemi I--[No, he can't do it. Shu tried to work up the courage to tell her he was fine, but he's not.

So he's going back into hiding. ]

[shamelessness]

[Wow, um. This sounds really private. Should she be listening? He went back into hiding again. Well just in case he starts up again she puts her hands over her ears.]

[iwannabethegai]

[Shu just kinda hides there for a few more minutes and then he comes out.]

Shiemi? Why are you covering your ears? [He's successfully recovered from his hardship and he's back to his usual self. He just needed some space.]

[shamelessness]

[She lowers them slowly.]

You were speaking to yourself. It sounded private.

[iwannabethegai]

I was? [He's in denial and it shows. Shu's such a bad liar. He's fully aware of what he did. His face begins to fluster with red again. Why is he so embarrassing? ]

[shamelessness]

Yes? I promise not to tell anyone?

[iwannabethegai]

Sorry. [He sighs again.]

You're always looking out for me. I'd be in trouble if it weren't for you.

[shamelessness]

It's a friend thing! Don't worry about it.

[iwannabethegai]

You mean, I'm not a burden on you?

[shamelessness]

Of course not!

[iwannabethegai]

Thank you Shiemi. That means a lot to me.

[He's happy to hear that.]

[shamelessness]

[She reaches out to rest her hand on his.]

Even if you were, I wouldn't mind. I'd be willing to bear it.

[iwannabethegai]

Why's that? Isn't that troublesome for you? You could be doing other things. [Like finding better friends. He knows he's bad at keeping friendships together.]

[shamelessness]

But I like being friends with you. Aren't some friendships worth a little trouble?

[iwannabethegai]

I guess so. I wouldn't mind doing the same for you.

[shamelessness]

See? It's all okay.
