Between a fairytale and a lie.

Hey Iruka? Toushirou?

I don't think I'm gonna make it to this thing tonight. I'm sick. I mean I think I may have bird flu - my throat is so tickly I feel like I could cough up feathers, and that's gotta be a symptom, right? You two still have to go, if you tell me all about it then I can have vicarious fun, okay

Staying with you. I have no reason to go to this 'party'.

...

...

Do you want me to make anything special for dinner? It's...it is a holiday, isn't it?

There are plenty of reasons to go to this party, Toushirou. Like for example the reason that you are going to be in so much trouble if you don't make it up there for a little while. I'm even gonna give you a whole extra hour on your curfew. You can stay up there til nine.

[melon_and_rime]

...no.

Well, okay. I might hafta listen to my music real loud all night, Toushirou. I might hafta put on my Celine Dion tape. You know, the one that makes me cry.

[melon_and_rime]

FUCK.

I'll deal. I don't want to go...because I have homework.

Since when do you ever leave homework this late?

After Celine Dion, I could listen to Mariah, I guess. You know, Toushirou, my throat is really starting to feel better. I could sing along.

...I'll survive.

I'm making a cold pasta. And you're going to eat some.

This will include coming out of your room and cessation of the moping. Yes, the moping.

Hey, I do not mope. I'm sick, Toushirou, you're trying to out-stubborn a sick lady.

You know, I bet I'd feel a lot better if you went to the party for an hour...

[melon_and_rime]

Fine.

Twenty minutes.

Win.

Don't forget to wrap up warm, even summer nights get chilly after dark. And bring me back some popcorn if there is any, okay?
