I wonder how we came to be the odd couple
Characters: taichou_tb & peacocking
When: Lunch time for old men on December 21, also known as Ukitake's birthday day.
Where: Traverse Gardens (Ukitake's place)
Rating: PG... PG-13 since they are a couple of old gasbags
Summary: Today is Ukitake's birthday. Kyoraku, unable to do what he normally might, has prepared a nice, healthy and inexpensive lunch for his best friend. Also, he's here to provide
[ Shunsui is humming a happy tune to himself while he adds the last flower to the vase sitting in the middle of the table. It's not the kind of color he's become used to, but it is still nice. He's happy with the number of flowers he was able to snatch up, even if it is a smaller number. The white flowers in the vase have beautiful curved petals with pointy tips and even carry a very subtle scent (of course the last part could just be in his head). The fact of the matter is, Shunsui wants everything to be lovely and fun for his best friends birthday. So far he is in a very happy mood, forget the fact that it takes a whole lot to make feel nervous, anxious, or unhappy. He is simply elated to be here to celebrate Juushirou's birthday with him.
The shinigami slides into the kitchen to check on the pot of water he is heating for the tea. His guess is that it has about two more minutes which is perfect, because he expects the Birthday Boy to pop up any second. It was hard enough trying to hide the fact that he bought almost all of the food they were about to eat. It's for the fun of it of course, but he also wants the thought to show through his relatively simple gift. It's not like Shunsui didn't have lunch with Juushirou almost every day of his life anyway. The thought makes him smile when he steps out of the kitchen and spots his friend.
That smile grows impossibly large, stretching from ear to ear. Who cares if he already said it a few times. He needs to create a birthday atmosphere and wraps his arms around Juushirou, hugging him tightly. ]
You know I couldn't resist the chance to tell you Happy Birthday again~ [ With a hand around his shoulder Shunsui leads the birthday boy to the most comfortable seat in the room. ]
We'll have something to eat in a few minutes. Pardon me, I must get the tea. [ He can't help but laugh at his performance as host in a house that is not his.
He returns carrying a tray with a tea kettle and the same two cups they used when Shunsui showed up a couple of weeks ago. ] Here you are. [ He pours some tea and sits back. Shunsui offers his Juushirou a snack. It's kind of sweet and just like something they might have with tea back home. Truly a lucky find. ]
You have to tell me about your best birthday here. [ If he remembers correctly this one must be his third... ]
