Mallow quattordici: It's my party and I'll rape if I want to

[erytophiliac]

 [Hey everyone! Today's a very special day, which precisely none of you ought to know about- but that's fine, because as you step into the kitchen, you'll find Byakuran seated at the table, ready to devour a luscious chocolate mousse cake. 
While he looks about ready to dive into that delicious mass, he's visibly restraining himself from prodding a

[Ghost, however, has no such qualms about the cake -- he leans over his brother, a pale forearm on one side of him, and dips his finger into the frosting, expression intent.

Yum, chocolate.]

[erytophiliac]

Ghost~! ♥

[Finally, you're here- and you've made a big crater in the cake. No fair!

He snatches the identical male's wrist, wraps his mouth around that digit to steal the procured frosting.]

Younger brother goes first, haha~♪

[electrophantasm]

[His head merely tips to the side, watching, before he scoops up frosting with his other hand to clean away himself with a shrug. When doesn't Byakuran get to go first?]

[erytophiliac]

[Grinning, he nuzzles his face in an almost cat-like gesture against the captured palm, and then lets go.]

Happy birthday, fratellone~! We've made it another year together. ♥

[timeulcer]

[Actually, yes, since Byakuran let it slip that his birthday was coming up, causing Shouichi to-- well.

By the state of his appearance, he hasn't slept all that much since then - eyelids heavy and dark circles marring the pale face, his hair more rumpled than usual and his bandaged hand covering his mouth as he yawns.]

Here.

[He shoves a small, clear purple plastic jewel case at Byakuran, inside of which is a shiny silver CD with one word scrawled across it in what appears to be black sharpie: 'Byakuran'.]

[erytophiliac]

[His eyes widen at the sight of the disheveled boy- he hardly even glances at the CD, despite the pleasant twang of warmth it gives him in his chest (a present from Shou-chan~) and instead stares openly at that injured hand.

His smile begins to fade, eyes growing serious and serrated.]

What happened?

[timeulcer]

[The younger teen sighs, glancing down at the bandages for a moment before rolling his eyes.]

It's nothing. I got into a scuffle.

Anyways, take this.

[erytophiliac]

A scuffle with who?

[Can you see the murder in his eyes? Though he does rest his hand over the CD, rubbing his thumb over the smooth, new plastic reverently. He'll definitely be listening to this over and over tonight.]

[tntempesta]

[ Going to stare glare daggers at you a little before presenting you with a fancy box of vanilla-caramel, chocolate dipped marshmallows.

Because his mother thought it would be good to send him candy for halloween, and he hates marshmallows.

Tche. ]

Here. Buon compleanno.

[erytophiliac]

[Oh my gosh.

Oh my gosh those look delicious.

This face.]

[tntempesta]

[He rolls his eyes and stares at you in annoyance.]

What?

[erytophiliac]

Haya-chan remembered my birthday~! And he got me something wonderful!

[spanamacchina]

[Hey, cake?
Yeah, he might have got you something. It's... somewhere. Digging in his pockets, before producing a handful of lollipops, wrapped in purple cellophane and tossing them Byakuran's way.
Look, they're shaped like Bs! And they taste like marshmallows B|b ]

Buon compleanno.

oh Spanna u fag ♥

[erytophiliac]

[....A...Are you serious? He picks up the lollipop bundle, surprised, staring at the crinkled purple plastic and the distinct, crystalline B.]

How did Span-chan know? Molto grazie~!

[Forget that cake, he wants to eat one right now. Unwrapping it like a 6 year old on christmas.]

shh man you love it

[spanamacchina]

[Yeah, took him a while to make a mold for that, so you'd better appreciate it.]

That is was your birthday?
Shouichi told me.

i do, i really do

[erytophiliac]

...Mmm, what a tattle tale~....

[He pops it past his lips, eyes widening at the unique and all at once familiar sensation of powdery sweet marshmallows.

It's so delicious, he moans.]

[principeeredita]

[ His pride is sort of injured by the huge cake you already have, but that's okay.

Because he has a strawberry marshmallow cake. For you, of course. It's your present. ]

Buon cumpleanno, sempai.

[erytophiliac]

----Is Si-chan in love with me?

[principeeredita]

..
What?

No, I was ..
Did I get the date wrong? I was sure today was your birthday, sempai.
[ All that stalking on everyone was for nothing? ]

[erytophiliac]

--I ask, because you must really love me, to make such a dazzling cake for me~! ♥
