[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.

[droptheious]

[He's gonna let Fern wield the knife- he knows what makes his boyfriend happy! He nods, excited to eat this delicious concoction. ]

Oh man, chocolate? You know how to get right to my heart!

[laminae]

Hah! Well, it's the best flavour.

[Fern looks absolutely thrilled to be cutting something, even if that something is just a slice of cake.

It's a great slice though, a perfect triangle that he dumps onto the plate and hands Varian, along with a fork.]

[droptheious]

It sure is! They perfected it when they found the cocoa plant.

[He's so amused, he knew Fern would get a kick out of it. He'll take the plate. smiling at the perfectly sliced cake. ]

You're really good at the cutting thing.

[Look, he'll give his boyfriend a boost too! He takes a bite, making a soft mmmm sound.]

It's good!

[laminae]

[He nods vehemently in agreement, and at the compliment looks a little embarrassed.]

C'mon, it's just a cake.

[.................. He is also kind of proud of that cake slice though, so his argument is half-hearted at best.]

Yeah? Cool. I couldn't taste test or anything, so....

[droptheious]

It's not just a cake. It's a delicious cake that looks super cool.

[He swallows his cake mostly so he can oh-so-maturely stick his tongue out at his boyfriend.]

It's really good! You never would have guessed you couldn't taste any of the ingredients.

[laminae]

[Fern blushes a little. He isn't used to his cooking being complimented.]

Yeah? Thank Glob for that. I dunno what I'd do if I couldn't even make a chocolate cake.

[droptheious]

[He'd better get used to it, Varian will compliment him every time he tries it!]

Well, good for you, you're actually great at it. Something for you to know for the future!

[laminae]

[It's ok, after a moment of hesitation Fern will roll with it.]

Hah, yeah. If I ever tired of being the sword guy I can become the cake guy.

[droptheious]

[Varian makes an amused sound, leaning in to kiss his cheek.]

You can always be the sword AND cake guy, you know.

[laminae]

[Pfft, he laughs a little at that.]

Wouldn't that be kinda weird? They're total opposites.

[droptheious]

[He smiles softly.]

Why would it be weird? You're allowed to have other interests, you know, even when they're totally separate things.

[laminae]

I dunno. It just seems.... [He trails off, shrugging.]

My whole thing is 'emotionally volatile stabby grass boy.' [Thank you, Finn, for some of that.] Cake doesn't really fit.

[droptheious]

[Varian reaches out to take Fern's hand in his own- gently rubbing a thumb over the grass there.]

Okay. So think about it this way. Do you think there's more to me than just "the science boy who keeps messing up'?

[laminae]

[Fern looks down at their hands, his own squeezing Varian, before glancing up at him.]

Thaaaat totally isn't fair, dude. You know I'm gonna say yes and that I'll argue with you forever about it.

[droptheious]

[He returns the hand squeeze, flashing his boyfriend a very smug grin. ]

All's fair in love and war. Anyway, my point stands. I can be more than one thing. so can you.

[laminae]

[Pfft, he rolls his eyes exaggeratedly.]

Okay, maybe. [He can give him that much, at least.]

So... cakes and swords aside, what do you wanna do for your birthday?

[droptheious]

Hmmm. [He rubs the back of his neck with this free hand.] I don't know. I can't really go very far so it's not like I can...go somewhere. Not while we don't know what's happening with Zodiac.

[He sounds guilty about that- he's got Fern stuck on the run with him and he didn't even get his boyfriend involved in the whole thing beforehand. It feels...unfair.]

Maybe we can watch some movies? I know I got a lot to catch up on.

[laminae]

[Varian is right, though it only causes Fern to make a mental note to make sure he takes his boyfriend on some kind of belated birthday outing when everything is settled. If it gets settled.

He nods at the suggestion.]

Then we'll have a whole marathon of whatever movies you wanna watch! We can even see if they got some microwave popcorn in one of the cupboards.

[He waves a hand, pretty sure no one in the house would object to the two of them stealing popcorn for birthday purposes.]

[droptheious]

[He will really appreciate a nice treat after all this madness is over. He's so tired of being cooped up. It's still not as bad as being in literal prison for his birthday, but it's not like he can go about freely right now, either. It's just for...different reasons this time. ]

Sounds like a great time, I'm sure there's plenty of snacks for us to rifle through.

[He's pretty sure it'll be fine too. After all, Amal invited two teenage boys in here, he had to know that ran risks of having food devoured. Or...you know, one of them devouring, anyway.]

[laminae]

[Fern nods and starts going through the cupboards, not taking long to find a few bags of microwaveable popcorn. Grabbing one, he tosses it in the microwave.]

Sick! This'll be the best movie marathon ever!

[He might not be able to eat the popcorn, but the smell is still amazing, so once it's done and he's retrieved a bowl they can head to the living room.]
