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.

And to get unstuck...

[Pilouette doesn't really want to say it, but she knows. She'd noticed the mistletoe around the village and had been carefully avoiding it. However, she hadn't counted on it being put up inside at Rin's party. She crosses her arms and glances off to the side.]

[rashness]

Yeah. [ ... You know what if he just tries to make this less awkward? He will try to make it less awkward. And walk over to her to put a hand on Pils's shoulder ]

[ribbonbon]

[Unfortunately, awkward is Pilouette's middle name. His hand on her shoulder makes her tense up a little. After all, this is a whole new experience for her and this isn't how she imagined it going. However they don't have much of a choice. Plus, she knows Rin. At least she didn't get stuck with some stranger, right?

After a moment she uncrosses her arms and looks up at him, her face just a little flushed.]

[rashness]

[ AAAAAAAAAAH ]

[rashness]

[ No, he'll try to play it cool despite briefly recoiling and flushing up probably as bad as her. And then he inhales, exhales, and leans down to kiss her, briefly on the lips. Just a light thing to try to get it to break out ]

[ribbonbon]

[Pilouette leans forward to meet him part way and soon feels her face growing warmer as she feels Rin's lips press against her own. Even if it's only for a moment, it seems like much longer. She's not even sure if she's doing this right.

After a second she pulls back, suddenly aware that she had been holding her breath. She exhales, her expression turning sheepish.]

U-Uhm, was that...uh...
Did it...

[She still feels a little bit awkward, but less so than before.]

[rashness]

[ And when they are pulled back his face is somewhat like this. Flushed, tilted back some, and with his lips pursed as if he was still kissing or something. The problem is that his eyes ended up opened awkwardly wide as he pulled back. He rectifies this after a moment but -]

Y-eah.

[ ... So poetic ]

[ribbonbon]

L-like, right?

[What does that even mean? In her awkwardness she had just said whatever came to mind. After a moment, her eyes go wide and with a quiet "Oh!" she makes an attempt to get out from under the mistletoe.

Attempt successful!

She looks up at the plant and then back at Rin, still a little unsure of what to say.]

U-Uh...Th-thanks. Thanks for that.

[Ugh, that sounded so dumb! Pilouette glances off to the side, embarrassed.]

[rashness]

Thanks...! ?

[ Wait that shouldn't be a question! Ugh, ugh. He leaps back when he noticed she stepped back ]

[ribbonbon]

[Wait, maybe that wasn't the right thing for her to say.]

B-because, uh, y-you know! If you hadn't...we would still be stuck or something, right? I mean, I don't think I could have...uh...

[She trails off. Forget think, she knows she wouldn't have made the first move. If Rin hadn't they would likely still be standing around in the same spot being awkward and weird. They're still being awkward, but they're in different places now.]

[rashness]

[ ...?!?!?!??!?! ]

[rashness]

[ ...! OKAY!! HE CAN!! BE A MAN!! And he can put a hand on her shoulder, make eye contact and- ]

It's okay! I know you could handle it!

[ Because he's a loser too! So she has to have more experience! ]

[ribbonbon]

O-Oh! Uh, r-really?

[He knew she could handle it, huh? Does that mean she seems more adult now? She supposes it is nice that someone had confidence in her about something but...She reaches up to awkwardly fiddle with her hair.]

W-Well to be honest like, I wasn't even sure I was like, doing it right, you know?

[rashness]

It's okay! It's not like I know that much about what I'm doing either! I've not like kissed a lot of people too...?!

[ribbonbon]

[Well, that makes her feel better...kind of? Pilouette laughs awkwardly, probably louder than is necessary.]

Ahaha!! Like...r-riiiiight?! [She fiddles with her cell phone a little bit, shifting her weight from one foot to the other.] W-Well, I should, uh...probably go...Um. Do. Something. I mean, you've probably got like, uh, s-stuff to do or whatever, right?

[rashness]

Y-yeah! Like... I'll go... check out the cake, again-!

[ In fact, he turns to just go and do that. Abruptly, he makes to run away to do that. Olling out ]
