[Birthday!]

[villageson]

11-12 isn't making a big deal about it but it's likely his friends and family know that today is his 23rd birthday and he can be found wandering around the grounds (or inside later), looking quite happy and content. He'd love to speak to anybody, even those he hasn't met yet or who don't know it's his birthday!

He might come upon a not!step-father in the garden, smoking and admiring the view (he calls this "getting a breath of fresh air"). Taking the cigarette from his lips, he blows a plume of smoke into the air before speaking. "You seem chipper today, 11-12," he notes.

[villageson]

He gives the cigarette a wary look before smiling at Muraki.

"Yes. I think it's going to be a good day."

[silvereyedphage]

"Might I ask what the special occasion is?" he asks, curious, trying to recall what it might be.

[villageson]

"Oh. It's my birthday," he smiles more.

If 11-12 walks around the side of the house, he'll find Hisoka finishing the Japanese gazebo he started a month or so ago. It isn't anywhere near as elaborate as his countrymen would have made it, but it is a pretty place to rest and enjoy the gardens. It stands on the lawn between flower beds, an open, raised structure with a steep, tiled roof. It has two entrances, opposite one other, and a short flight of steps goes up to each. There are two wooden benches inside, with comfortable cushions, and a table for refreshments.

Hisoka puts the hammer down and hails 11-12. "Nice day!"

[villageson]

He gives Hisoka a small wave and a smile. "Yes, it is. Is this your work?"

[in_summer_leaf]

"Sure is. How are you?"

[villageson]

"Good, good." He looks surprisingly relaxed.

Of course Bridget is going to want to wish his husband a very happy birthday. He'll track down 11-12, small box in hand, and offer him a bright smile.

"11-12!"

[villageson]

11-12 may have slipped out for an early morning walk, letting Bridget sleep a little longer.

He beamed brightly when he saw him. "Hey. It's such a nice day today."

[britishbear]

Bridget smiles happily right back and moves in for a hug and kiss. "It is indeed. Though I was a bit surprised that you snuck out so early. Didn't even give me the chance to bring you breakfast in bed or anything," he adds, teasing.

If you are still interested in continuing?

[villageson]

"You looked so peaceful I didn't have the heart to wake you up," he replies and he had watched Bridget sleep for a little while, just stroking his hair gently and enjoying their peaceful time together.

[ooc: of course!. Apologies for the slow. <3]
