two decades.

[This Riku's just leaving the library to find something else to do shock and awe, but as soon as he steps into the hall there's a puff of smoke and like magic, those blackbird wings he once had are back. And this time they're all tangled up in blue ribbon, with a bow tied neatly at the top. Brb, trying to untangle himself.]

[ooc: The room is wishing him a happy birthday the only way it knows how ♥]

[don't mind him blinking in surprise.] Uh...do you want some help with that?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Ughhh public humiliation. Awesome.]

I'm good.

[...Well not really, but he's not going to admit that.]

[lifelike-memory.livejournal.com]

You don't look like it. Are you sure you don't want any help?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[It's embarrassing enough that they're all tangled, but he's touchy about these things anyway. After trying and failing several times to fix the situation, he sighs.]

...I guess I wouldn't mind the help.

[lifelike-memory.livejournal.com]

Okay. [he's used to weirdness by now, so he'll just walk around you and carefully start undoing the ribbons.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Holds still, though the wings twitch every now and then.]

[lifelike-memory.livejournal.com]

[it takes a little while, but he gently tugs the last of them free, wrapping them around his wrist to prevent further tangling.]

There, all done. Do you want the ribbons back?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Once they're free, the wings stretch a little before folding tight against him.]

No, that's okay. ...Thanks.

[lifelike-memory.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. I'll keep these then, might be able to use them for something. Good luck with your wings.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Puts on a polite smile.]

Yeah.

[lifelike-memory.livejournal.com]

[you get a brief wave before he wanders off to wherever he was going originally.]

[destined-tofade.livejournal.com]

[Well that's strange. Don't mind the Namine who was walking towards the library now stopping to stare a bit.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Stare away, he's already embarrassed enough that this is happening in public.]

[destined-tofade.livejournal.com]

[She's just not used to these things happening. The staring wont last long.]

Um, do you need some help with that?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[He struggles a bit more in vain, finally giving up with a very annoyed look.]

Kind of.

[destined-tofade.livejournal.com]

[Nods and walks over to carefully try to untangle to ribbons.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[Hey look, it's your BFF and GF. Roxas freezes momentarily, his eyebrows raising high, while Namine lunges and hugs him tight. She looks excited Riku.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[ghhh stop looking so excited at my misery >:T Just sighs heavily, looking thoroughly annoyed at the situation.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Tenses, but that's appropriate given the situation.]

[destined-tofade.livejournal.com]

[At least she's being gentle? And she's actually starting to get some of the ribbons off.]

1/2

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

Dude...

[Apologetic look.]

[sirenicall]

Best present ever!

[Pulls away enough to reach around and pet them.]

It's just like old times!

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Tenses immediately, still adjusting to suddenly having them again.]

This is the shittiest present I've ever received. How about we save the "Let's Publicly Humiliate Riku" game for your birthday?

[He sounds pretty irritated by it anyway.]

[sirenicall]

[Her smile falls immediately and she pulls away to pout at him.]

What's so bad about wings?

[In case you forgot, she has them too.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Nothing, when they're supposed to be there.

[Now I just look like a freaky birdman. Who you're going to start molesting in front of my bff. fml.]
