Bday tiiime

[laminae]

[Soooo there's been a whole heck of a lot going on for the last couple of weeks, but Fern isn't about to let that stop him from trying to do something nice for his boyfriend's birthday. Varian could really use it, even if it's a temporary distraction from Zodiac and all the guilt that's been weighing on him. He knows from personal experience how hard that is.

He's commandeered Amal's kitchen and has been doing his damnedest, and after a couple of hours he's knocking on his and Varian's bedroom door before poking his head in.]

Heyyyy V, you busy?

[droptheious]

[There's been SO MUCH. Varian's still not feeling super, but the general support he had when he made his announcement has helped a little. He doesn't feel he deserves people standing by him, but it's what he's getting and he's slowly starting to accept that maybe he's not a complete and utter fuckup.

He looks up from whatever book he's been reading- largely avoiding his phone in case Zodiac try to track him. He flashes Fern a smile as he comes in. ]

Hey, you. Nope, not busy at all.

[laminae]

[Fern steps into the bedroom, happy to hear that.]

Great, then - [It means he can step right on over to Varian and scoop him up into his arms, then spin him around.] - happy birthday!

[droptheious]

[Varian lets out a surprised (but happy) laugh at suddenly being scooped and spun. It always makes his heart flip-flop in his chest and now his no exception. He puts his arms around Fern's neck, smiling goofily.]

Hah- wow, thanks. I didn't think it was that exciting.

[laminae]

Well, you're super wrong. It's totally exciting.

[He has that kind of 'I will argue with you on this' look on his face, even as he sets Varian down on the ground. Grabbing his hand, he tugs him towards the door.]

And I'm not gonna let you think it'll go by without it getting celebrated. So c'mon.

[droptheious]

[He opens his mouth to argue, but that look on Fern's face makes him stop. He knows better than to argue with his boyfriend when he has that level of determination going on.]

Hah, that almost sounded like a threat.

[His tone is playful as he lets himself be pulled along.]

Should I be worried?

[laminae]

[Fern snorts at that, and can't help his grin get just a tiiiny bit evil.]

Maybe a little.

[Naaahh it's all good. He leads Varian over to the kitchen, which is still a total mess, but sitting on the counter is a very science-y birthday cake and a gift wrapped in the nerdiest wrapping paper ever.]

Enjoy your very own nerd cake!

[droptheious]

[Look, the present is great and nerdy, but the cake DEFINITELY gets his attention first. He lets out a soft ooooooh sound, peering over it. ]

Oh my god, Fern did you make this? It's SO cool!!! Is that cotton candy?!!

[laminae]

Yeah! I mean, I had to look it up on the internet how to do it, 'cause cakes like this are more complicated than what I'm use to. But yeah, I made it.

[He's a little sheepish.]

I had to buy the cotton candy. You need a machine to make that stuff.

[droptheious]

[Varian, meanwhile, looks absolutely AMAZED by all of this!!]

Fern!!! This is incredible!! I can't believe you went through so much trouble for me!

[Fern is absolutely getting a kiss for his trouble before Varian finally turns to his present. He's really not used to being this spoiled and it shows. ]

Man, you got me a present too!

[laminae]

[The kiss makes Fern blush. Geez, he wasn't expecting this level of excitement over a cake.]

Um, yeah! 'Course I did. You can't have a birthday without a gift.

[The gift itself is a fancy new bag, with tons of pockets and zippers and an extremely steampunk theme.]

[droptheious]

[He's very impressed byt the cake. It's a SCIENCE CAKE!! How could he not be?

He opens his bag and lets out another excited little ooooh.]

Oh man, this is SO cool! It's got little gears on it and everything. Thank you, I love it.

[laminae]

[Fern grins as he watches Varian, happy that he's happy with the gift.]

I saw it and thought of you. There's all kinds of compartments, y'know, for science stuff. [What kind of science stuff? He doesn't know, he isn't a scientist.]

[droptheious]

[He's absolutely delighted by it, he's definitely opening up and turning it this way and that to look at the aforementioned compartments.]

Wow, I can keep my chemical and substrate samples all separate and everything! This is way better than the one from home. Everything there just ended up at the bottom of the bag and I was always afraid of flasks smashing. This is perfect.

[laminae]

[Aww, Fern rubs the back of his head.]

Cool, glad you like it. A good backpack's super important when it comes to adventuring and junk.

[droptheious]

[Varian grins, reaching to take Fern's hand, interlacing their fingers.]

Yeah! It really is. Hopefully, before long we'll be able to get out of here properly and have some real adventures. Maybe we can go into one of the stable gates for a trip together or something?

[laminae]

[Oh, Fern is squeezing Varian's hand immediately.]

That'd be fun. Maybe the pokemon one? That weird flower-bug that followed me out might like to see it again.

[droptheious]

[He's more than happy to return that little hand squeeze.]

Sounds great. I've never really gone into there properly yet. It'll be fun to check it out- see all the weird little creatures in there.

[laminae]

Cool! Yeah, they kinda remind me of stuff back in Ooo. Some of 'em are even pretty dangerous.

[Does Fern want to fight a pokemon? Maybe.]

[droptheious]

Yeah, I've seen some around, they seem real uh...fighty.

[Like someone else he knows. Who may or may not be right next to him. Holding his hand. Maybe. ]

Sounds like it'd be an adventure.

[laminae]

Right? It's pretty great!

[He loves not being the only fighty one around here, even if they're basically talking about fighty animals.]

Great, then it's a date. A... date adventure. A dateventure? Is that a thing?

[droptheious]

[Sometimes, you've just gotta have a fight! Varian lets out a little chuckle.]

You know what, if it isn't, we can make it a thing.

[laminae]

Awesome! Then it's officially a thing. Our thing.

[He pauses at that for a second, thinking, then adds:]

Unless other people wanna make it a thing. It's a pretty cool idea, after all.

[droptheious]

[Aww, Fern, his smile softens.]

Okay, I like that. It being our thing. And I guess we can loan it out to people if they really want it.

[laminae]

Ha ha, yeah! I don't mind doing that.

[He grins back, then goes to grab a knife and a plate.]

Sooo you wanna dig into the cake? It's chocolate.
