kazzy's turning 22 like a dragon

[sotenbori]

WHO: Majima, Kiryu + friends of either of them
WHERE: Club Sunshine
WHEN: 6/17, Afternoon!! (say ~11-4)
WHAT: Majima hosts a birthday party for kiryu!!!
WARNINGS: Just Majima's inability to finish a sentence w/o cursing



[ as soon as he found out it was kiryu's birthday he had time to prepare and now that he and kiryu are dating, the need to make this great is even more real. luckily when you own your own club that isn't open during the day, you're pretty set!! he invites everyone over but it's, of course, a surprise for kiryu. he just calls him and says to meet him at the club while he finishes up something so they can go out.

he's got the whole club decked out in party decorations and all of you are getting a party hat whether you want one or not!!! there's streamers and banners and all kinds of food and also booze, plus a band playing a mix of smooth jazz and lounge music which is the peak kiryu aesthetic.

majima's not nervous beforehand -- okay, maybe a little, but he really wants it to be perfect for kiryu. but everyone is for sure getting kicked out by four because he's gotta clean up quick for work afterwards, though he might sneak out after he cleans up. it's his boyfriend's birthday?? there are important things here.

anyways enjoy, mingle, have a good time, eat a ton of food and drink and celebrate kiryu! yeah! ]

Comments

Finally I am here! Many apologies.

[Kaz has already informed other Kaz of his gift. It's sort of nice that these two are getting along enough that they exchanged birthday parties. They've not even known each other that long (and that's really great, because barely anyone gets the chance to hit it off this well).]

[Sometimes people can be a little obtuse about things going on around them.]

[Miller gets wrapped up in listening to the band, having appreciating the music himself and noting that he's never learned that many jazz songs to play. Maybe he should try it. In the meantime he's also scanning around occasionally for the Birthday Boy.]

[judgementkazzy]

[ Look, to be fair, Kiryu has basically only texted his cousin about the fact that he and Majima are now dating. Everyone else... has either assumed what they like or been told by Majima, since he actually asked normal people for assistance and not a 16-year-old girl. It's a long story.

Kiryu's glad to see Miller though, he smiles as soon as he spots him. He's even been roped into wearing a party hat because Majima said so and that's just what you do. ]

Glad you made it. Thanks again for the gift.

[b0mbshell]

You make a good celebratory traffic cone.

[Yes he's absolutely going to tease about that birthday hat? He would tease about the 16-year-old girl, too, if he knew. Only he'd still be proud he had the gumption to do something.]

[Really it's better that he doesn't know because then really invasive questions would happen and no-no bottles would have to be drawn and really, only disaster lies down that path.]

You're welcome. Maybe I'll have a consistent stream of after-the-fact useful gift ideas thanks to this adventure. [He walks over and gives the guy a hug. One of those that involves back-thumping, the best kind.]

[judgementkazzy]

You can thank Majima for that one.

[ He smirks. If you think Kiryu wouldn't answer most of those questions honestly, you're dead wrong. Still they can totally bro-hug, that's a thing dudes do! They're very manly about it. It's cool, Kaz, he's got a boyfriend so it's no romo. ]

In that case the next thing you should get me is blue flowers, since they're the only blue things we have right now.

[b0mbshell]

I'll remember to do that.

[No one should feel shame in bro-hugging. It's a perfectly natural communication between perfectly good failures at expressing emotions.]

[In that overly fussy way of his he actually tries to straighten so it sits properly.]

I'll have a little flower crown made for you. So you'll look like you've been put in one of those photo filters.

[judgementkazzy]

[ Aw, Kaz, you're sweet. Maybe Majima should get one of those hats for you, dude. Get in touch with those emotions... ]

That'd be cool. [ There's 0 irony here. ] I made some flower crowns a few months ago, but I didn't think to use blue back then.

[b0mbshell]

You really did? Well, I guess you can put your talents to use now.

[He chuckles a little.] I actually couldn't even hope to make you one. Basically, all I can do artistically is play the guitar. And if I really want to reach for an excuse, I can dress pretty well.

[Yes, the skirt counted.]

[judgementkazzy]

[ He nods. ]

Some of the ladies at the spring festival taught me. It's not too hard.

[ There's no mundane activity that Kaz won't do. ]

Playing the guitar is cool, though. You're really good. [ He smirks. ] And you look good doing it.

[ He definitely means the skirt. ]

[b0mbshell]

Next time I'll wear a suit. I promise. [Skirt was at least a one time deal, and wearing regular dress clothes suits him just fine.]

How about you make me one instead, then?

[He'll take it to his mother. He thinks she'd like it.]

[judgementkazzy]

I'll look forward to it.

[ Hey, Kiryu wouldn't mind seeing Miller in a suit. Just because he's in a relationship doesn't mean he can't still look?? ]

I could, sure. You bring the flowers, I'll make the crowns.

[b0mbshell]

I guess I needed an excuse to get out into nature anyway.

[He rarely does. He's a bit of a city boy. He likes the beach, but rarely does he even go into a park.]

Hey, if you ever need a reason to get out, you could always join me? So I don't get mauled by a cat or something. Sure we're not distressingly small anymore, but I would bet a cat would try to maul me.

[judgementkazzy]

Ah, I feel you there. Everything's here in the city, right?

[ Why go anywhere else? Besides the beach, tbh. ]

Sure thing. [ He nods! Truthfull he should get out more too. ] I have experience fighting off big cats.

[ Has he mentioned the memory with the tigers yet because that's his favorite one. ]

[b0mbshell]

You ran into a cat when we were small? You didn't tell me about that.

[Kaz is obviously going to need to hear this story.]

[judgementkazzy]

Not quite. I did remember fighting tigers, though. With my fists. It was pretty cool.

[ The coolest memory!! It's pretty much become his favorite ice breaker. ]

[b0mbshell]

You punched a fucking tiger????

[He actually puts his hands on his head, looking at him with the most what the hell? of faces.]

Did your memory tell you why?

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah. Two tigers, actually.

[ He nods like this is totally normal. He really did punch tigers. ]

I think I was trying to save some little girl, but the why is kinda fuzzy.

[b0mbshell]

Two? Be still my heart.

Did your memory tell you more about the girl?

[Kaz's memory never told him why the man with the eye-patch was chasing him. Just that Kaz was sure he was going to die.]

[judgementkazzy]

No... I still don't know who that girl was. I haven't remembered her anywhere else.

[ He will one day, to be sure, but not yet. All he knows is that there was a little girl... Kind of weird for a dude who remembers being a yakuza. ]

Some of the stuff I remember is pretty random.

The party continues!!

[sotenbori]

How're ya doin'?

[ just sliding on over here to talk to kaz. he's glad he showed up, it's nice so many people came to celebrate kiryu. ]

Re: The party continues!!

[b0mbshell]

I heard you were responsible for the party hat? [That's not a proper response to "How're ya doin'?" but he's already off to the races. He walks up to Majima and nudges him with his elbow.]

Nice touch.

[And look, Kaz even wore something respectable! A nice button-up shirt and jeans. No idiotic outfits for miles.] You got him a live band. Did you jump out of the cake, too?

[sotenbori]

Hell yes, party hats are very important.

[ majima may be wearing... a few, at the moment. ]

Fuck I thought about the cake thing but I gotta open tonight, it woulda been too much of a mess.

[b0mbshell]

See, I don't think I could get you to do the cake thing for most people's birthdays. I hope I can convince you to do it some other time.

[Because Majima must know Kaz would record it and put it up on Facebook so fast...]

You know if you arrange those just right you'll look like the statue of liberty.

[sotenbori]

There's always next year, right?

[ hes optimistic. ]

Oh shit, you're right. Lemme....

[ yup majima sure is trying to arrange them just right ]

[b0mbshell]

[That earns a pretty good laugh, and Kaz reaches out to help adjust the carboard spires on his head into place.]

We better not put the poem on you, though. People might get the wrong idea about you being in an open relationship or something.

[Welcoming everyone in like that.]

[sotenbori]

[ he laughs, too, happy for the help ]

Well we couldn't have that.
