eight

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[Sora is occupying the beach room today: he's seated right along the shoreline, his clothes already soaking wet from the occasional strong wave crashing into him. he doesn't care though; he has something very important on his mind.]

[he has a bottle with a letter in his hands-- he stayed up a few hours past his bedtime last night with a flashlight underneath the covers, hardly able to fit everything he wanted to say in the paper he provided himself: "Hi Mom and Dad, how are the islands? I'm eight now. Long division's really hard, but I'm trying my best. I'm learning how to fight with a sword better, too. It's dangerous here. Sometimes you can't even eat the cupcakes.

"You didn't forget me, right? When are you coming to see me?"]

[the next time a wave crashes up past his knees, he lays the bottle in the water so gently, like it's made of thin porcelain, and watches it float off with the tide. today is shaping up to be a quiet birthday, but Sora doesn't mind.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*what what is this why is he being ganged up upon*

Ungh? Wha-- what's... I'm not awake yet...!

Ugh.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

You are now!

*He grins and cuddles up against Ri's side in bed. Sorabug, you'll have to get both Daddies out, now~*

D:

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Hey! C'monnnn, we gotta get up and we gotta go!

[flails a little, and tries to pull on both of their arms now.]

i'm dropping threads everywhere because of this :/

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he lets 'bug pull him up like a sack of potatoes, teasing*

... but it's your birthday all day. I can sleep a bit more.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

Oh, come on Ri.

*But he's still snuggling in to the sleep-warmth*

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Yeah, come on! Pleeeease? Pretty please?

[topples off the bed and continues trying to pull their arms.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*lets himself be dragged half off the bed, flopping over the edge*

... wellllllllllllll... I dunnooooooo...

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

Lazy. Sorabug, your Daddy is so lazy!

*laughs and pushes Ri the rest of the way*

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Hurry up, lazy!

[Sora has done his best to be patient, but he can't take it anymore, so he stops pulling and takes off running toward the kitchen again. he can't help it; he's so excited.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he flops on the floor with a laugh*

Bossy bossy. Sora, go entertain our son while I clean up and get his present from me, okay?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

'Please'? Set a good example, lazy.

*and he runs after Sorabug, scooping him up upside down and tickling the daylights out of him!*

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Ack! No no no no no! We gotta have cake, not tickles!

[flails wildly and squeals and bats at Sora's tickling fingers, probably all in vain.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*well once Ri has gotten cleaned and dressed, he'll enter the kitchen, carrying a rather large, slim badly wrapped gift*

Why can't we have tickles and cake?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*Sorabug's resistance is futile! But he does stop when Ri approaches.*

I'll bring the cake into the living room. It's more comfortable.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Because cake is better than tickles! And-- what's that?

[he wiggles until he's set down, then runs over to Ri to inspect that present curiously.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

This is your present from me, 'bug. But you can't open it quite yet.

*he'll let you see the box, which is half as tall as you are*

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*Sora smiles as he brings the cake into the living room, along with another little square wrapped gift. He'll get a seat next to the birthday boy!*

*... and then proceed to light the eight candles with his fingertip, courtesy a little fire spell :3*

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[he's clinging to Ri's present, even if he isn't allowed to open it, watching Sora wide-eyed.]

Whoa!! How did you do that?

[... once he blows out the candles he just might ask Sora to do it again.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he chuckles and makes sure the presents are all together before taking a seat as well*

He did it with magic, of course~!

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*Sora beams and turns out the light, casting a warm glow on all three happy faces.*

I'm totally magical! Now little 'bug, make a wish...

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Mmmm...

[he's quiet for a minute, closing his eyes and making probably the biggest wish he's made since Christmas, and blows out the candles. whew, eight candles is almost too much!]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he leads the applause*

Good job, Sorabug! Now since you're big enough, you get to cut the very first piece.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*He's really happy, and let's just pretend that they sang Happy Birthday in there somewhere XD*

Be careful, little 'bug. It's a rare thing that he trusts Soras with sharp thing.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Wow! Really? It's gonna be my piece, right? And I get to choose how big it is?

[might want to steer him the other way if he decides to cut himself a piece that's half the size of the cake, though.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he will put his hand on 'bug's on the knife*

Of course you do. But you have to remember that you have to share the cake with other people, so you shouldn't be too greedy.
