Who: Riku and Sora
Where: Celadon
When: January 17th
Summary: It's Riku's birthday, and Sora, being the sap that he is, has opted to celebrate in the most bombastic way.
Rating: G

[Riku had been so busy working out PGC logistics that he'd lost track of the time. Flying and teleporting across Johto squeezed the energy right out of him, so by the time they made it back into town, he'd collapsed like a rock, unaware of what tomorrow would bring.

When he first wakes up, he doesn't even notice that there's something new on his head. Instead, he marches right up to the door of his room, gasping when confetti sprinkles down over his head. Then and only then does he notice the party hat strapped to his head.

Realizing just what's going on, he storms into the hall shouting--]

Hey, Sora!

Good, because you had me worried for a second.

[And when he sees that look on Sora's face, Riku rolls his shoulders back and holds out both his arms, a silent way of egging him on. C'mon, show him what you've got, dork.]

[ good. because now Sora is lunging at Riku...

in a hug. ]

Happy birthday, Riku.

[God, way to almost knock him over, Sora! Luckily, Riku stands his ground, and though at first he just stares with wide eyes, the shock wears off soon enough. After all, it's Sora, the king of the saps.

So, fine, he'll reciprocate the hug after a second. He'll get by looking like a softy just this once.]

You gonna spoil me all day, you dork?

[Heh. He really is thankful, but it's Riku. He's gotta try looking at least somewhat cool.]

[ in reality, Sora is just so relieved that Riku is here. Riku, his best friend. the guy he pretty much spends all his waking hours with. sure, it's not too much different than when they had been growing up... but this place is different than home.

and well. Sora just wants what is best for his friend, okay? ]

That might be in the plan.

Should I be afraid?

[He's already been showered with confetti. What else could Sora possibly have in mind? Last year he had a party, this year it's just him and his best bud.

Well, whatever he's got in store, Riku's down for it.]

Cake. Enough ice cream to make you sick to your stomach. Five different flavors, just so you know.

And other surprises. You know... Just waiting for you to trip them.

[ one room might be rigged to drop balloons everywhere and popcorn in another. fun stuff. ]

What're you trying to do, turn me into a blimp?

[God, Sora. Riku's fine with desserts, but that's insane... and he's probably gonna try going for it anyway, because who is he to turn down a challenge?]

And while we're at it, do you expect me to check every single room in the building?

[...That, too, could make an interesting challenge.]

Try, being the key word there.

[ now it's Sora's turn... to ruffle Riku's hair. with some snickers. ]

You don't have to check them. But if you want your gifts, you might have to.

[Oh yeah? You think you can just get away with that, bub?

Then watch as Riku grabs Sora by the arm, pulls him closer, and vigorously messes with his hair for a split second.]

All right, challenge accepted. Not like I had any big plans, anyway.

[In fact, he'll start off by turning towards the hall, cracking his knuckles and straightening his back. He'll check every last door if he has to.]

[ not even going to act like that is such a big deal. because it's not. hair ruffles from Riku is just a natural part of life. one that Sora is now just used to and accepts. he snorts, amused and grinning.

and then runs a hand through his hair. ]

So get going.

[Oh, he'll get going riiight about now, strutting down the hall and flinging doors open. He'll start with one of the spare guest rooms that he's left open for some of the 'mons. Slash seems to have taken it up as a part time study, though at the moment he's elsewhere in the building.

So, any surprises within?]

[ this one is a little "meaner" than the others. what drops on Riku happens to be glitter. glitter and paper flowers. hope you can enjoy that. Sora is just following behind. grinnnnnnning. ]

[The sudden onslaught of sparkles sends Riku stumbling back and batting the flowers and glitter out of his face. One or two flowers get caught in his hair, and he whips around and stomps towards Sora...

And promptly plucks the two flowers out of his hair and places them on top of Sora's head.]

There, they suit you better.

[ bah! his hands are going through his hair to shake out all of the flowers and stuff.

but at least he got Riku good with that one. good luck getting all of that glitter out, dude. it's super fine. ]

Awww, Riku...

Hey, don't be so modest. Here, I'll even give you a little extra pizazz.

[By attempting to sprinkle at least some of the glitter on top of him before he reaches for the neighboring door. Ooh, what could be behind this one?]

[ worst best friend. you're not meant to share the birthday "fun" out of spite. shame on you. don't be hating because Sora is getting the better of you here.

and this room doesn't hold a trap. just a gift! ]

[It's called teasing, not spite. Gosh, Sora, way to be a critic.

Buuuut a gift is a welcome change of pace. So welcome that Riku struts right up to the gift, ready to tear through the wrapping like a pro.]

[ hey, hey... you started it. B(

and the gift is TM 34 - Swagger. get it? B) ]

... Swagger?

[Riku stares at the disc for around ten seconds before slooowly turning around...

And wiggling his eyebrows like a doofus. This is him attempting a smolder to prove a point.]

Yeah, that move's not me.

[ welp. can't have this. Sora puts a hand over his heart. the other on his forehead. ]

Oh Riiiku!~

[ totes fake swooning. and pretend fainting.

then he starts breaking out in fits of laughter. from the floor. ]

You want me to stick a rose between my teeth while we're at it?

[He rolls his eyes, drumming his fingers against his thigh. What a dweeb..]

Shouldn't I be the one with the rose between my teeth? I mean... You're the princess here, Riku.

Says the guy who just swooned.

[And now he's just gonna lean over Sora with a deadpan look.]

I can't help it, Riku. There's something I've always needed to tell you, but never had the courage to...

[ look at him. he's getting all anxious. nervous. and then there goes the lip quiver.

all from being flat on his back on the floor. ]

Oh yeah?

[He sloowly raises one of his eyebrows. On the upside, at least he hasn't flicked Sora in the forehead or something.]
