idealism | Fuda # 11 [Action/Video] Happy birthday, grumpypants.

[Sometime after everything's been set up, Hisoka returns at his usual pace. He was expecting to slip inside and steal up to his bedroom without speaking to anyone like he usually does, with the added bonus of not having to explain why a ferret was doing concealed inside his jacket. He didn't expect to be walking into. Well. This.]

...What.

[It takes a moment before Hisoka receives his answer, but when he does it's with a handful of confetti thrown over his head. Tsuzuki jumps out from his hiding spot.]

...Happy birthday, Hisoka!

[AUGHWHATTHEFUCK. He jumps and starts backward.]

This--you--WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU.

[Yaaaaay! The surprise was a success! He comes forward to give Hisoka a hug while he chats happily.]

We fixed up a surprise-party for you! We even got a cake! I know you don't like cake, but it's tradition. We have dumplings in the kitchen for you!

[And he shoves that hug away because NOW IS NOT THE TIME.] What would possess you to do something like that?

[He steps back, though he ruffles Hisoka's hair as he does so.] You said you hadn't really celebrated it, so I thought we could make a party for you. Come have a look!

[No need - Link emerges out of the kitchen, holding two trays - one with dumplings, the other with cupcakes. (They have pink frosting.) Setting them on the table, he gives Hisoka a grin.]

Yeah! Everyone should get a proper birthday, right? Also, I got some pastry things with bits of meat and cheese in them as well. They're not sweet or anything. [Even if he thinks Hisoka is seriously missing out.]

[And then there is ruffling and attention and PINK FROSTING. Who decided this would be a good idea to perform as an annual ritual?? He tries to address Tsuzuki through gritted teeth.] I thought you promised not to make a big deal out of this. Why did you go and get everyone involved?

[Link just gets a heaping helping of his "I hate you" face.]

[Cupcakes! Tsuzuki sneaks over to Link's side picking one off. All this decorating has made him very hungry.] I didn't make a big deal. Normally I would have told more people, but I only mentioned it to our housemates.

Look, we even made dumplings!

[Well, Tsuzuki had made dumplings. Link had stolen over to the bakery and got extra things to eat - he doesn't really trust his own cooking.]

Uh huh! And we both decorated the cupcakes! [Which... might explain why they look like a five-year-old iced them. But look how colourful the sprinkles make them!]

[And Hisoka doesn't really trust either of their cooking.] You shouldn't have told them either.

[Though he was cursed with good breeding, so he does still to give a short bow to the both of them.] ...But thankyouforallyourhardwork. [Grr.]

[Tsuzuki only made the sauce said dumplings were cooked in, if it's any consolation.] It was an accident.

You're welcome. [See this face, Hisoka? This is how much your partner beams when you're nice to others. Something new steals his attention, though.] Hey, 'Soka? What's in your jacket?

You're welcome! [Link grins at the horribly forced thank you, checking there's room on the table then ducking back into the kitchen to get more foods. At that last part, he will poke his head back out, though.] Didja get yourself a present?

[He was being rather sneaky hiding inside Hisoka's jacket, but what can we say, Draco ~~likes honey. Draco likes toothpaste.~~ likes sweet things and since he doesn't know the potential hazards of the cooking in this house, that cupcake looks pretty good. So don't mind him sticking his nose out and chomping off a piece of Tsuzuki's cupcake he nicked from Link. Om nom nom. What? Clearly this is normal.]

[Goddamnit you motherfucking ferret.] NO. NOTHING. IT'S NOTHING. [He'll just be SHOVING Draco's head back into his jacket where it belongs and trying his best to angle himself out of Link's sight.] Tsuzuki. I need to talk to you. Upstairs.

[Finally someone that appreciates his cooking! Well, Link's. And he got it from the bakery. Which is very lucky for Draco, because that means the muffin won't make him feel sick.] What's the matter?

[Knowing that Hisoka can sometimes feel uncomfortable with gatherings, Tsuzuki doesn't push the subject. He turns his head to Link.] Sorry. We'll be right back!

[And the frosting came out of a packet... it just looks like a mess. Really!]

[Hey, an animal! He thinks, at least. Is that Dieb?] Did you get a pet...? And that's okay, I'll go get some more stuff.

((OOC: Link will just be hanging out downstairs when you guys come back down :) ))

[There's an indignant squeak at the fact that Hisoka's shoving his head back down, but he stays put, curling up into a little ball of fur while Hisoka and Tsuzuki head upstairs. Riiight. Tsuzuki. The only reason he was here! Except that cupcake was kind of tasty. Oh well. He wriggles a little to try and get comfortable again, but it might take a bit.]

Don't worry about it, Link -- it won't take long. [Which is all the brisk dismissal Link's going to get, because he's already leading Tsuzuki up to his room. It's only after he and his partner are relatively alone that he dumps the little white ferret onto his unmade bed. He doesn't even have the presence of mind to be embarrassed that his otherwise spotless room is an unkempt mess, or that there's enough bedding to accommodate two people. It's not even bothering him that he still hasn't established whether or not Draco's a toilet-trained ferret. He's exhausted, he's frantic, there's a fucking party downstairs, and this day needs to hurry up and be over already. He just gives Tsuzuki a helpless stare, as if that would explain everything.]

[Don't tell Draco that Tsuzuki has a cupcake in his pocket, safely wrapped in a napkin. That is saved for later.]

[He obediently follows Hisoka up to their room, staying silent until ferretco is on the bed. Since Hisoka seems like he's at his wit's end because he's gotten a new and adorable pet today, Tsuzuki tries to calm him. He reaches out towards Draco's head to pet him.] Who's this?

[Noticing that Hisoka's tired, Tsuzuki sits down by Draco and gestures that Hisoka should do the same.]

[Ferretco is pleased to be landing in a pile of warm fluffy bedding, and soon he's going to occupy himself by rolling around on it. Once Tsuzuki reaches to pet for him though, he hisses briefly. Draco-brain registers that it's Tsuzuki, but ferret-brain registers that it's somebody willing to love on him. He eventually hops closer and stares up at him, trying to decide what to do here and making another indecipherable chattering noise.]

It's Draco. [He blurts it out, sinking beside Tsuzuki's other side.] I can't-- I don't know what to do for him.

[He'd be clinging and fighting tears if Draco wasn't around. But the wall is still up, and he stares at his lap instead. There is no such thing as a good birthday.]

[Despite the hissing, Tsuzuki patiently offers Draco his hand. When he's sure he won't be bitten, he begins to scratch the ferret behind his ears.] How did he turn into a ferret?

[Poor Hisoka. He's being a brave little toaster, so Tsuzuki touches his shoulder in an innocent caress. Tsuzuki continues the talk out loud, although it's mostly to himself.] Maybe the fuda that transforms Terazuma to his worse half would be useful...

[Scratchings are always super-helpful. Fine, fine, giving in and pushing his head up against Tsuzuki's hand a few times. Yayy scratchings! But as soon as Tsuzuki touches Hisoka's shoulder, the ferret hisses again. That's his human for now, thank you. You are merely here for pettings and for fixing the situation.]

The Malnosso did it to him, as far as I can tell. It's not like he can exactly tell me what went wrong. [He nods appreciatively at Tsuzuki's contact. At least, until Draco decides to be a primadonna.] Oh would you stop already? Give him a chance to think.

Do you remember how to write it? I never got a very good look at it. I'm not very close with Ms. Wakaba.
