Of Birthdays and Things (Future dated to the 27th)

Characters: Kanji and anyone else who wants to join up in the later threads / leave Naoto presents if they know her and/or want to talk with Kanji that day.
Setting: Naoto's Dorm
Format: Action but any is good
Summary: It's NAOTO'S BIRTHDAY. And this is Kanji.
Warnings: FLUFFY THINGS

[Well, it is April 27th somewhere. Kanji was the type of guy to have the entire team's birthdays noted down (even if he never said that publicly of course). If the tower didn't have the exact same dates, Kanji was pretending not to notice. The system seemed to be working out on a 24 hour system, and technically, today was someone's birthday.

Granted he would have gone overboard for any of the team's birthdays, especially here, especially now, but considering it was Naoto's and he had only seen her again for the past four giving him only three days, Kanji had worked with a surprising amount of zeal and fury despite his normal patrols of the floors.

If you were expecting the master of sneaking, Kanji certainly wasn't and so picked a time when no one was in the room to leave his presents before running out as fast as his legs could carry him. It wasn't that he didn't want to see her reaction, but a tiny part of him was afraid she might not like it or....you know it was better if she came to talk to him afterwards?

Perfect Kanji logic.

And thus, when Naoto opened her room, she would find a fluffy doll sitting on her bed, about twice the size of her hands. There as a bow attached to it, along with a small package of what looked like a small package of animal crackers (one of the last he had found in his trunk, truthfully). No note, no message.



But seriously, it wouldn't be hard to guess who this was from?
Happy Birthday, Naoto Shirogane.

Backdated to the 26th like a baws.

[So Deneb is all up in the kitchen, rooting around in the various cooking supplies and muttering to himself while he tries to figure out something that can be done with what they have that would be different than what's normally served.]

Such limiting ingredients...

[Yu agreed to it, obviously, both to the cake and he doubted it was a good idea to involve Chie since... yeah. He remembers the camping trip, the omelets and the fact that there is no recipe book. Also... he isn't really sure that Yosuke can cook, either. His bad, bro. So he's silently following for a moment, until Kanji notices someone who seems familiar to him.

He gives his underclassman a nod to go ahead and speak with him; he'll look for the ingredients they need while he does.]

[Oh! It's that fellow who ruins watermelon he met at that party! And someone he does not know. Deneb turns, and bows slightly to both of them.]

I am Deneb, and yes - I prefer to prepare my own food rather than take what this place prepares for us. [A beat.] I know it seems a bit ungrateful, but nothing here has shown me any reason to show our keepers gratitude.

[Yosuke certainly hadn't intended to see Kanji put his plan into action. It was probably only a matter of luck that he wasn't noticed in Kanji's nervous state as he went into Naoto's room with what was obviously some sort of gift. If anything, his suspicions were only confirmed when the boy in question came running out of the room like a bat out of hell. And honestly, it's a sweet gesture! Leaving a present for her, even in a place like this, with everything going on. There's even a pang of jealousy at Kanji's courage to go through with it]

[Of course in Yosuke's head, every good thought is accompanied by at least one terrible one. Today's order of business?]

[Tease Kanji Tatsumi]

[It's not hard to follow him - he's hardly inconspicuous - and a few minutes after Kanji's getaway, the young man with a death wish finds himself in the same room as the artist, with a grin on his face]


I'm starting to think no one on the team is really cut out for a stealth mission. You sure as hell didn't do any better than me.

Nice to meet you, Deneb-san.

[YU WOULD BEG TO DIFFER BUT OH WELL, HE EATS ALMOST ANYTHING ANYWAY He nods slightly over to him in greeting, having found a few things they could use. Back to being quiet again...]

[Why is he here? For the joys of teasing you, Kanji! In fact he's just about to start when-]
princeofjunes: (startled)

[personal profile] princeofjunes 2012-04-27 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
[-wait why are you grabbing the collar-]
princeofjunes: (do not want)

[personal profile] princeofjunes 2012-04-27 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
[-OH GOD WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE I JUST KICKED HIS KITTEN-]

[personal profile] idkmybffsakuraiyuuto 2012-04-27 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
[It totally is not you weirdo

Deneb nods to the introductions.]

Likewise, though...

[He's not sure what to think of what Kanji said. And he was fairly sure that by the name and voice, Yu was male, but one never knows for sure, really.

Deneb scratches his head, then tilts it to the side.]

Pardon the question, but, ah - is it normal to make someone a birthday cake with them around?
princeofjunes: (damn confusion)

Done!

[personal profile] princeofjunes 2012-04-27 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
[-OH SHIT WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!]

[He... he just meant that Kanji sucks at stealth! Is he really mad about that? Is he mad about something else? But he didn't start teasing yet! Oh god what is he mad about what do what do what do AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!]


I-I'm not implying anything! I'm just saying your tall and you stick out and running down the halls draws attention! Shit, I didn't even really tease you yet!

[...Yu stops in his tracks at that one, blinks, and laughs. To be honest, he hadn't heard all of what Kanji said, though he had a feeling his grammar was lacking with that reaction.

There's also a strange look in his eyes when he turns around to look at the two.]


No, Kanji. She isn't. [Turning to Deneb again, and smirks.]

He meant our mutual friend, Naoto Shirogane. We're essentially the only two of our group who aren't lethal in the cooking-without-a-recipe, so it's just us.

[Just wait; Chie'll wind up here and begin looking for steak now that he said it.]

Ah! I see. [Deneb nods.] Just that the way you worded it, I thought Narukami-san was the one you were referring to, Tatsumi-san.

Hmm... I believe I've seen both flour and honey here. [He opens a cabinet, and resumes his prior digging, but with a more definite goal in mind.]

If you two need help, I would be more than happy to give it - I did all the cooking for myself and a good friend of mine, Sakurai Yuuto.

[Even if he's not in the tower anymore, Deneb will still do his best to make sure people remember him!]
princeofjunes: (i object to this trashcan)

[personal profile] princeofjunes 2012-04-27 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
[... wait, so that's what the hell he was talking about?]

[Really?]


Wait, that? Dude, we thought you were going to be kidnapped! It was that or go up to you and say "Hey, you don't know us but we think you're going to get thrown into a weird TV world."

Tell me with a straight face we could have done that and your first thought wouldn't have been "These guys are on drugs."
pitiedthefool: (chill ⚡ I'm hearing your voice)

[personal profile] pitiedthefool 2012-04-27 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
I don't mind, either.

[The more hands they have finishing the cake, the more subtle trolling/encouragement sooner Kanji could finish his gift to Naoto. It sounds perfectly logical.]

[Deneb makes a pleased noise, and pulls a sack of flour out of the cabinet he was digging in, and an apron from an unspecified location.]

Here's the flour, then. I think the honey was...somewhere around here.

[It is probably a good thing that Kanji does not.

...And Deneb isn't the only one who has one. Look; Yu has a one on already and left a spare he found on the counter as he checks for the eggs.]


If not, I can probably figure it out. [...He was the best in mathematics out of them, even though he does encourage Kanji to try his best often.] Found them.
