[Somarium] OOC & IC // Voicemail

This is Irie Shouichi. Obviously I'm busy, so leave me a message with a name, please. I'll get back to you when I have a chance.

[Beep.]

(( OOC: Leave IC or OOC messages for Shouichi or Yuri respectively. Just label the OOC ones, thanks! ))

August 22nd!

August 22nd?

Yep! I figured it out!

[Right about now Shouichi would like context, but has a feeling if he asked for it Byakuran would be pouty to have to explain his accomplishment or expect Shouichi to know already. So there is a few minutes while the redhead wracks his brain for the significance of that date before he gives up and replies.]

Okay, I tried to figure it out, but you win. What is it?

Our anniversary. ♥

Eh? Really? How did you figure it out? Heh... that means we've been together over half a year, huh?

[Also, he's definitely taking noting of that so he doesn't get in trouble come the date itself after Byakuran went to the trouble to figure out when it was...]

It was really easy once I actually thought about it! That's a really convenient date for me.

Convenient? Why's that?

Because it's my birthday.

(( OOC: So he totally said year and a half up there... shhh... you don't see my spectacular brain-fail up there. nope. >>; ))

[Shouichi just spent a few minutes in stunned silence, staring at his phone in some disbelief before he finally replied.]

.... August 22nd is your birthday? Our anniversary is on your birthday?

Yup! That's right!

[Byakuran was grinning at his phone, feeling like a derp. At the time, with the castle falling - coupled with the fact that he didn't care much about his birthday anyway - he'd just completely forgotten about it.]

[Sure, they'd both had far more on their minds at the time given. And their decision to try dating had definitely had a rocky start as well. But if Shouichi had known SINCE then, he certainly would have done something for the other man!]

Why didn't you ever tell me?! You made such a big deal for my birthday and did something nice and... gah, Byakuran-san!

[Now he definitely couldn't forget that date. And it was almost like twice the pressure to deliver. Especially since he'd been failing at doing anything about it for so long.]

It doesn't matter! Every day with you is a blessing. And is filled with cake. What's so special?

[Sure, he liked to celebrate Shouichi's, but it was always so fun to dote on and surprise him. He'd always been able to go have his own fun and buy whatever he wanted, so the notion of birthdays and parties never really interested him.]

But, you do things for me on my birthday and also at other times just randomly too, so why should that be any different either? I'll give you a hint - it shouldn't.

[The reply comes after another couple minutes silence as Shouichi had sputtered at his phone in a flush at Byakuran being able to write something like "every day with you is a blessing" and mean it seriously.

And it only made him more resolved now to give Byakuran a birthday celebration and some way to celebrate their anniversary now that they even had one together.]

Then do what you want! But don't feel bad about not knowing. I didn't even think of it either until just now, afterall.

[Knowing that he was probably going to dwell over this, whether he wanted him to or not. Maybe he could relax him later. Make it better somehow.]

You know, I can believe that, that it didn't even strike you until now. Still. I wish I'd known. But there is no helping it now, right?

[And Byakuran was right to assume. Shouichi would be dwelling on this. And definitely plotting what to do. But there was a bit of guilt too, because thinking back to how things had started with them...

That was a pretty crappy birthday for Byakuran, wasn't it? And the day had come and passed last year too without either of them even noticing.

Not. This. Year.]
