Seventeenth Case

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ it's a beautiful day! The sun is shining, the monkeys are screeching, there's free cake at the inn and a giant banner that says (more or less) HAPPY BELATED ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY TEAR AND HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY KAITO. Because with Kaito's luck with birthdays, Kazuha isn't taking any chances this time. ]

Okay, so that's two cakes and presents, and the food's done, so that should take care of everything! I'm definitely gonna make sure nothing goes wrong this time! No crazy events, no... love nesting, and no fish in sight! This'll be the best birthday ever!!

... Wait, if we're celebrating Kaito-kun's again, then-- I skipped mine, didn't I?

((Yeah, Tear's anniversary present sucked, and Kaito has the worst luck with birthdays, so Kazuha's combining things. Go ahead and threadhop whoever you so wish. Or just show up to snag some cake.))

*AND GETTING A BOWL AND RETURNING FIRE*

[ all this water flying means the next time she's lunging to get him with a cupful, she's slipping on the floor and TIMBER THE SEQUEL ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

-- What're you--!? *why does this keep happening*

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Got anything to say for yourself, Spiky-han?
