Birthday party post

((OOC: In celebration of Reo's birthday, here is a party post! Any and all Reos you want to thread with, it can cross RP verses or be part of an RP verse or just outside the verse, and it's low commitment! You can drop it whenever you feel like it. As can I. Also your character doesn't have to have threaded with Reo before, that's what the +1 on the RSVP is for!

Throw up a starter, ping me here or on Plurk to plan something out, whatever works for you.))

You only get one chance to celebrate your first birthday together as soulmates. Kise is not about to forget that, and he is in it to win it.

It starts early, since he knows Reocchi is an early riser, but also modestly. It's only an explosively large bouquet of asters, Reocchi! You can easily leave them at home to come back to after classes!

The silk scarf in the same storm green-grey-purple as Reocchi's eyes tucked into his shoe locker at school, however, is going to have to be kept for the duration.

The small gifts continue to appear in his shoe locker during the day--a set of silver hairpins with, of course, asters on them, Reo's favorite fragrance, a small but carefully selected box of chocolates--and by the end of classes, chances are Reo may need a hand transporting them all from there to the locker room.

Luckily, there is a bouncing small forward there with a huge grin on his face, fully prepared to help deal with the pile he's created.

Reo is an expert at working around uniform requirements, so the situation isn't quite as dire as it could be. The scarf, for example, is wound carefully around his wrist, with the ends peeking out from the cuff, and since hairpins are not actual pins, they can be clipped safely onto a lapel without fear of damaging the fabric.

The other things, though, can't just be put in his bag without fear of damaging them weaving through the crowds in the halls, so he certainly would not object to a little assistance.

"Ryo-chan," he says fondly, leaning over to kiss his soulmate's cheek. "You're so thoughtful. Thank you."

Kise beams at the compliment. That's, of course, not why he's being as generous as he is (at least, not on any level he's aware of), but it still feels good to hear that his gifts are appreciated. He reaches to turn the cheek kiss into a full on birthday hug, only being careful not to hug too tightly because Reocchi does have an armload of goodies and a couple of potentially painful objects clipped to his jacket.

"Of course, Reocchi! Your birthday should be special! I made us reservations for after we get cleaned up from practice at the Western-style fondue place that just opened, and then if you want we can go to the mall. I didn't get you any clothes other than the scarf because I knew you'd want to pick them yourself, but I really want to go birthday shopping with Reocchi."

He's started to gather some of the boxes up, chattering as he does. He's got the entire afternoon and evening planned! Nothing but the best for his soulmate.

"Oh, that reminds me," Reo says, "Mom wants you to join us for dinner on Saturday. Nee-chan will be there, too." Weekend birthday celebrations became a tradition in the Mibuchi family a long time ago; between late work days and practice schedules and schoolwork, weekday celebrations are nearly impossible to manage.

Invitation passed dutifully along, Reo smiles as he leans into Ryo-chan's (careful) hug. "I would love to go birthday shopping with Ryo-chan. I can't wait."

"Of course! I wouldn't miss it for the world, Reocchiiiiiii!" Party party party party partypartypartyparty. Party with Seiko-san and the Mibuchis. There's nothing happening this weekend that would please him more and if there were he'd cancel it.

He should at some point make sure that there's really nothign else happening, but it'll be fine.

"Me either! Reocchi has such good taste, and you always help me find nice things too." Today won't be about looking for him, but it's one of the fun things about shopping with your soulmate. Even if he doesn't intend to, Kise usually ends up leaving with an item or two for himself just because Reocchi's eye is that good.
