'tis the season

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

[Night has fallen in the DR and all is peaceful and quiet. Unless you live in the suburbs. Because there is a sudden blast of loud Christmas music and flashing lights coming from an EXTREMELY over-decorated house in the neighborhood.

And standing on the sidewalk with the power switch in his hand, is Ri. He is cackling maniacally to celebrate his triumph over technology.]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[Ri there is an arm being thrown over your shoulder in a friendly manner by this gentleman.]

[why does this feel vaguely threatening? perhaps Kai will be swayed by the force of Ri's cheer and pride in his accomplishments]

Evening, Kai the Elder! Isn't this awesome? I finally finished! And just in time, too.

[regalheart]

It's definitely something.

[now why would it feel vaguely threatening? that's just silly.]

Could I get you to do something real quick?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

[you're making the disappointed fais :/]

Yeah? What is it?

[regalheart]

Look up for a moment, tell me what you see.

[there's no trick question here; it's just night sky!]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

[this feels like a trick question, but Ri will look up anyway]

Uhhh... the sky?

[regalheart]

Yep. Looks pretty dark, doesn't it.

[hopefully Ri isn't expecting to be let go anytime soon.]

... Dude, do you always do evil laughs when you put up your Christmas lights?

[Nocturne was headed home, but he's gotten a bit sidetracked by the spectacle. Granted he's slightly iffy about teasing Ri, but still.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

[thankfully the younger Ri is less uptight than his older self so Nocturne should be safe]

Who wouldn't laugh over this triumph? It took me months!

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

That's... an awful lot of effort to go into just for Christmas lights, isn't it?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Of course not. I'm already planning for next year. I want it twice as big. The flashier, the better.

[Should Ri have good enough hearing to hear over his own maniacal laughter, he may hear some delighted laughter behind him, as this little Namine decided to go for a walk to look at lights on her own after dark and has deemed these ones to be the best ever.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

[the soft laughter makes Ri turn around then look down, his smile turning softer as he sees Namine]

Do you like the lights?

[missing-crayon.livejournal.com]

[Nodnod!]

They're like magic!

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

You mean how the lights dance to the music?

[missing-crayon.livejournal.com]

[Nods!]

Uh-huh!

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Well, that's just how I wanted it to be!

[missing-crayon.livejournal.com]

[Better be careful Ri, or she might just decide to stay here to watch the lights for ages, and therefor stay up way past her bedtime.]

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

[And behind that Ri is a Riku, wielding a remote to said monstrosity. The music's volume is going down, down, down...]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Wha-- hey!

[Ri will shake the power switch like that will fix things]

Don't tell me I blew the speakers this time!

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

[To say something, or not... No, he really doesn't want Ri to short something by mistake, particularly himself. Riku clears his throat, but not until he has the volume down to a level that shouldn't anger the neighbors.]

Not yet, you haven't.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

[no no he already electrocuted himself earlier today, he's good for the moment]

Riku? You're totally harshing on my holiday buzz! The lights are timed perfectly to the music!

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

You can still hear the music, Ri. Just not from outer space anymore.

[Before Ri can argue, Riku's giving him a quick kiss on the lips. At the same time, the remote is disappearing into the front pocket of his pants.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

[kissing him is totally unfair because you know he always gets surprised and forgets what he was thinking]

... there isn't even mistletoe here.

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

[Of course; he knows he's simply irresistible, after all.]

I can find some if you like.
