[ A big bad vampire is taking room up in one of the kitchens early today, though whether it's willingly or not is a pretty good question. He seems pretty grumpy, but maybe his mood has something to deal with that incredibly large completely chocolate cake sitting in front of him with three pink candles on it: 202. His cake this year is.. quite interesting looking, besides its size and the fact that it's noticeably chocolate on the outside (and on the inside, Axel likes chocolate okay), there are various pink icing hearts all over it matching the candles that are still burning. There are also brown and pink balloons all over the ceiling, and various streamers of the same color scheme scattered on the ground (though there is a trail in them from the door he came through to the chair he is now sitting in.) A large pink banner hangs on one wall that says the obvious in brown: HAPPY TWO HUNDRED AND SECOND BIRTHDAY, AXEL ARGENEAU. But.. there's one thing that's out of place. Next to his chair is a large red box with vintage silver floral designs all along the sides and a large silver heart on the front of the box. The lid itself has some writing on it in very neat hand-writing: Happy Valentine's Day, Sora. Inside the box? Well.. there's loud purring, if that's a hint. But, hey, all is well, right? At least he's alive for his birthday this year, unlike last time.. ]

['sup, I'm in ur shadows, tryin' not to laugh at that monstrosity of a cake.]

[argeneaufire.livejournal.com]

[ No, go away. There will be a silver-y glare going around the room because he can feel you there, not-brother. ]

[ofnightmare.livejournal.com]

[For now, he's just gonna lurk, sorry. But he knows you can feel him. It's why he's there in person.]

[argeneaufire.livejournal.com]

What, aren't going to come out and have some cake?

[ It's not said in any direction, but, who else is he talking to? ]

[ofnightmare.livejournal.com]

[and that's him stepping out of the shadows]

If you insist.

[argeneaufire.livejournal.com]

Well, of course I do. I couldn't possibly eat it all myself.

[ This will be him blowing the candles out ~! ]

[bittenkey.livejournal.com]

[Sora has followed what feels like an inner radar for where Axel might be- actually, he probably knew where Axel was going all along, and is wondering why Axel is taking so long to return.]

Axel, are you- ... whoa.

[argeneaufire.livejournal.com]

[ ohi honey, he'll turn around and offer a pained look. ]

I got.. pretty much literally thrown in here on the way back to the room, I'm sorry. I actually completely forgot what today even is, and apparently the Dressing Room does not approve.

[bittenkey.livejournal.com]

[good thing he already knew how old Axel was. if not he might have had to get a change of pants.]

You're looking pretty good for an old man on his birthday.

[argeneaufire.livejournal.com]

[ At least they have some honesty in their relationship. ]

And you're looking good enough to eat. Speaking of which, come over here--

[ Going to turn slightly, waving his arm for Sora to walk around the chair and come see the box-- ]

[bittenkey.livejournal.com]

[he'll head right on over to Axel, his attention wavering between him and that delicious-looking cake before he sees the box.]

You already got a-?

[wait, what is Sora's name doing on that package?]

[argeneaufire.livejournal.com]

[ Just grinning. ]

Go a head, open it. I know it's early, but..

[bittenkey.livejournal.com]

Really? You got me something?

[why does it sound like there's a motorboat in there. Sora is getting more visibly excited, moving around the back of Axel's chair to kneel next to the box, lifting the lid carefully.]

[ofnightmare.livejournal.com]

[This time there is a laugh, low and deep.]

[argeneaufire.livejournal.com]

Of course, don't you know what tomorrow is?

[ grins, also, hi. those are kitties. who are asleep, curled up next to each other! ]

[argeneaufire.livejournal.com]

What? Spit it out, Ansem ~

[bittenkey.livejournal.com]

Well yeah, hard to miss with all those spells.

[his eyes light up when he sees the kittens, unable to resist reaching in to run a finger down one kitten's side as it sleeps. also, he thought Axel would be presenting him with some Sweet Ecstasy.]

[argeneaufire.livejournal.com]

[ It'll meow and move slightly. ]

Yep. I hope you like them, and I'm sure you can guess why I got them.

[ smirk. Also, he can do that too-- ]

[ofnightmare.livejournal.com]

It's been decades since I last saw such fanfare of the passing of another year.

what are keywords.

[bittenkey.livejournal.com]

[hfjds, he is hooked already, his finger moving to gently rub under the kitten's chin.]

That animal spell? I thought you would have had enough company in our room after that.

[argeneaufire.livejournal.com]

You don't celebrate your birthday anymore?

[ smirk. ]

lmfao.

[argeneaufire.livejournal.com]

[ it's another sleepy meow before that one is going streeeeetch and open it's cute little eyes. ]

Hopefully they won't sing. But, what can I say, you seemed to enjoy animals, and I'm sure I can get use to them. So long as they don't pee on my carpet.

[bittenkey.livejournal.com]

We'll have to find a good place to keep their box so they don't get any ideas.

[Sora is practically radiating happiness when he sees that, lightly scritching that little belly before sliding his hand under the kitten to pick it up, carefully trying not to wake the other just yet.]

[ofnightmare.livejournal.com]

We are not Kine, to need such petty markers of the passing of time.

[That would be a yes.]

[argeneaufire.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's not like I set this shit up. It did this last year, too, stuck me in a kitchen after I got back from being dead.
