[Backdated] Birthday Surprises

[whereishe]

Characters: [au]Yuna & Fai
Where: House B- 05 (Basement!)
When: Septemper 17? [Ish]
Summary: Yuna wants to celebrate Fai's birthday.
Warning: Will note if needed



Yuna had invited Fai over and it didn't appear to be like any other time they've hung out except that Yuna's room was now decorated. She didn't really know what to do on someone's birthday so she followed Celes's recommendations which meant that their were streamers and cute little Blitzball cut outs all over the room. Her table was moved next to the bed with a cake on it. It wasn't as fancy as Fai's deserts but Yuna had made it so she hoped he liked it. There were strawberries around it's brim with fluffy white icing. The cakes surface had dark icing spelling Happy Birthday in lovely intricate letters.

Now Yuna just had to wait for Fai to arrive. She waited in the family room which also looked normal. He wouldn't know until they walked down stairs. She had a small popper in her palm that Celes said to use when she yelled surprise. She fiddled with it now waiting.

She wasn't usually so nervous but she found herself constantly glancing around as she waited.

Comments

He expected some of his past to be read, but that was less than what exactly he thought really. He couldn't really blame her for not going further either way really.

"Makes sense you didn't go further..." It only got worse from there if he had to be honest with him. But he couldn't blame her from doing what she did.

"I'm maybe a little bit mad I wasn't told before, but I'm not angry if that helps."

[whereishe]

It didn't really help all that much. She had a feeling that Fai wouldn't be angry however, she was upset with herself. She had always been curious, at least after their fight with Sin, but she's never let it get this out of hand. Bit by bit she's realizing how much she has changed and she couldn't say if she liked it or not.

"That doesn't make it right."

She looked over at Fai, her expression sad but strong. "If you had wanted me to know then you would have told me or I should have asked first. I didn't..." She took a deep breath before looking away again.

"I didn't know what you've been through. I'm so sorry Fai."

[iscursednomore]

"Well it was something I was going to say eventually when I understood things a little better." Sure he was a little angry, but he wasn't planning on making it obvious as his eyes looked forward, right now maybe not looking right at her might help.

"Though I will accept your apology, but at least it wasn't anything else or else I might actually have been mad." But it wasn't the time for being angry at least in his mind, they were here for a reason after all.

"Anyway, let's get back to the positive, shall we~?"

[whereishe]

“Can we do that? Just be positive?”

She had to ask because that didn’t seem likely. She had wanted to earn his trust and she felt with that single moment that she’s lost it. She didn’t want to hide anything from him and she didn’t want to pry but there were things that worried her. She was worried for him, even though she knew that there was no possible way to help.

As he looked away, she did the same, her eyes land on a spot on the bed, looking at the pattern and then to her hand. Her fingers were curled into the bed spread and she began focusing on relaxing. It was hard but she was practiced at smiling, if that’s what he wants, she can smile.

Yuna took a deep breath and then exhaled. Then she was smiling though it was hardly the happy smile that Fai might be used too.

[iscursednomore]

It didn't him long to look over to her and even less time to know a somewhat forced some when he sees it, after all he managed to pull those off for years.

"We can't if you force yourself like that. I can tell when it's genuine or not. After all I was the master at faking happy." It was why he wasn't smiling right now, he just didn't feel like it, however he knew if they moved off the subject it would get better with time.

"Just move on and do something else then you'll feel better."

[whereishe]

"Alright."

She nodded in agreement but it was easier said than done. She thought about it for a long moment before her eyes closed slightly and she leaned back on the bed. "In that case."

One eye peeked over to look at him, the pupil surrounded by light blue hues. "What do you want for your birthday. Name anything and I'll get you that."

[iscursednomore]

"I don't think I want anything." He wasn't all that picky as he moved to lie down next to her. In his mind all he cares about is the people who were here currently.

"Besides I have all I want anyway."

[whereishe]

“Oh?”

Yuna scoots a little closer, completely forgetting about the cake and the birthday celebration. She just liked being close to Fai and right now he was really close. She rested her chin on his shoulder with a warm smile pulled across her lips.

“What’s that?”

[iscursednomore]

"I'm surprised you even ask." He said with a slight chuckle escaping from his lips as he looked over to her.

"Just you being here is enough for me. Though the only other things I would want would only happen by luck."

[whereishe]

Yuna didn't need to ask but it's one of those things that's always nice to hear. Her smile widens while her eyes stay locked with his.

"What lucky things then?" She had been able to give him her own company which she hopes counts for something.

[iscursednomore]

"My friends, those I travelled with to be here. I mean I want it, but it's better they keep travelling and I always make sure to remind myself of that." He just hoped they were doing okay and if they had moved worlds... considering how long he had been here he would have been surprised if they still were.

[whereishe]

Yuna's gaze and smile softened.

"I'm sure they are thinking of you too." Her hand reached out to take his with a warm smile. It didn't really occur to her that they were lying on her bed or that the cake was just sitting out. This felt nice, just being together.

She let her head nuzzle against his shoulder before releasing a soft sigh.

[iscursednomore]

He smiled back softly before gripping her hand. He had forgotten what he had been here for originally, not that he minded all that much, even if it was another day he wouldn't have cared. So long as she was around it was fine.

It was only a few minutes before he even remembered it was for a reason as he shifted his weight to sit down, letting go of her hand as he did. "You know we are here for a reason, but I guess just doing this is fine, right?"

[whereishe]

Yuna laughed softly, shifting to sit next to him. “I think being close is a good birthday present. Don’t you?” It sounded like an excuse but she liked feeling close to him, falling asleep when he was near or just being in the same room. It was a warm comfort and one that she treasured.

“Unless there is something else you want to do. You’re the birthday boy.”

[iscursednomore]

"I don't think there is anything else to do. At least for me." He said rather enjoying the closeness. He didn't want to end it for tonight, but he figured that maybe he would need to soon.

"Though if I stay I'll have to sleep on the floor."

[whereishe]

“Why?”

Yuna looked at him curiously, it wasn’t as if their relationship was very intimate yet but they could kiss, hold hands and lay together just to feel close to the other. She sees no reason why they can’t sleep on her bed together. They’d be able to fall asleep holding each other and then wake up in each other’s arms.

It would be a little tight but they could both easily fit on Yuna’s bed.

“Just sleep here.”

She wrapped her arms around his waist pulling him into a hug while letting her head rest on his shoulder.

[iscursednomore]

"If that is what you want." Was all he could say really as he wrapped his arms around her. He would be fine like this, even if they were a little tight when it came to room. Kissing the top of her head for a moment, he really was more than fine with this.

"This is nice. Being this close."

End?

[whereishe]

Yuna smiled as his breath and lips caressed the top of her head. This was nice, simple and even though there was cake and streamers this was what made this moment perfect. She snuggled against him and after a moment felt her eyelids grow heavy.

“I think so too.”

Her voice was soft almost dreamy as her arms wrapped around his waist. The pads of her fingers lightly played with his shirt before they too stilled.
