[Open RL - Issei's birthday party.]

[unknownrival]

The temple had a large room with tables and chairs, usually used for meetings between the monks. Right now it had been appropriated for Issei's birthday party, and was full of food and streamers. Guests were milling about, talking to each other and waiting for Issei to arrive.

Which he did, dropping his jaw at the sight. "Wh-what is all this?"

((Feel free to talk to each other and to Issei! Enjoy~))

Issei laughed. "I don't think so. Try again."

[maraich]

With limbs flailing he continued, "It's mine!"
Until Maraich warned him, "Do you want to go home?"
The answer was a resounding, "Nooooo."
"Then you better behave."

He set Matthias down, and although he didn't touch the present he was clearly upset about being scolded.

"Sorry," Maraich shrugged, "He's at the stage where everything is his."

"It's alright. Kids are like that, I should be understanding." Issei smiled. "Are you enjoying the party?"

[maraich]

"It's a nice party. Were you surprised?"

And after a minute the earlier scolding seemed to be forgotten, and Matthias started placing the streamer on Figaro.

"Yes, I was. I didn't expect anything like this - I would have been satisfied without a party."

[maraich]

"But parties are fun. You get to have all your friends and get presents."

"I would have been satisfied with just a quiet birthday that no one knew about," Issei replied. "But I suppose that's true, as well."

[maraich]

"You should be glad you have all these people here to celebrate with you," he smirked, twirling a piece of hair with his finger, "Although I'm not sure people knew what to buy you."

"I'm sorry for that. I didn't mean to be such an enigma."

[maraich]

"You'll just have to act pleasantly surprised for all the presents," he paused indecisively as Figaro was now walking around with streamers attached to his back.

"Can do. Unless anyone gets me something embarrassing..." Issei answered, blushing slightly.

[maraich]

"Like what? Lingerie?"

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Issei's jaw dropped. "Would anyone really purchase that for me?"

[maraich]

He chuckled, "Maybe as a joke."

[stripping.livejournal.com]

"I hope not..." Issei grumbled. "I would no longer be able to look the purchaser in the eye."

[maraich]

"Don't be so uptight. It wouldn't be that big of a deal."

[stripping.livejournal.com]

"Yes, it would!"

[maraich]

"Why? It's just clothes."

[stripping.livejournal.com]

"It's still embarrassing!"

[maraich]

"We'll have to work on how you cope with 'embarrassing' situations," he laughed softly.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

"I don't want you to work on that!" Issei protested. "It really would do more harm than good!"

[maraich]

"How would it do harm? It's something you'll have to confront eventually, if you stay with Haruto," he snickered, "Unless you two plan on staying virgins to death."

"I wasn't planning on it, but I'd rather do that than make him panic," Issei grumbled, blushing fiercely.

[maraich]

"He might panic now, but he's young. I doubt he wants to go through his entire life like that."
