Open

Who: William Twining/[personal profile] notsolomon & you

Rating/Warning: None



I: Apartment

[So today was his birthday. William had been so preoccupied that he had forgotten about the date until Kevin had reminded him. When he woke up that morning, William found that his feelings about the day were rather complicated. Especially since his last birthday had seen a complete upheaval in one of the very foundation stones of his life.

That had been when he'd learned that Kevin wasn't who he had appeared to be. That Kevin wasn't the Kevin he'd known since childhood, but someone who had taken the original's place, like a cuckoo bird invading a nest. And there had been countless other deceptions tied into that, Kevin's being an Angel among them.

It had all worked out in the end and for the better, as their relationship was now much stronger. But the date was firmly etched into his mind, more bittersweet than something to celebrate.

Of course, William wasn't one to let himself dwell on such things and he quickly gained his bearings and decided to get prepared for the day. He couldn't go to London this year, but William was going to enjoy the day and all it brought with it, regardless of any negative associations.

Throughout the day he texts different friends, inviting them over for cake and snacks, because there's only so much he can eat on his own.]


II. Shopping District

[He's saved enough money that he can treat himself, so William's been hitting different stores all day. He's mainly thinking of buying some books and a few video games, though mostly he's been window shopping here and there.

Despite having been in the city for a while, William still finds a bit of modern technology or some alien merchandise that surprises him. And he's staring at one particular thing now, whatever it is, one eyebrow raised.]


Whatever it is, they shouldn't advertise it with such an absurd slogan.

--Oh. Happy birthday!

[ His words are wise, she'll give him that. ]

You can probably guess what it's gonna be like, buuut maybe you'll find out later anyway. I've gotta balance out all those sweets with some spice!

[IF YOU KNOW WHAT HE MEANS.

He pulls away to head inside, looking around. William's place! He loves seeing people's places; it's like seeing a little piece of themselves that they can't carry around with them. And he's especially curious about a fancy history dude's place.]


Heh . . . you're younger than me. Kinda weird to think about . . .

[Well, that's all the last thing Leon expected to witness when he got invited over here for birthday festivities. Okay.

He's there hanging out in the apartment, having arrived some time earlier (emptyhanded, and now he looks even more like an asshole, this guy's got two!), and he's got a forkful of cake like halfway up to his mouth when this guy climbs in through the window. Of course he does. It's called comedic timing. Leon freezes there with the cake just hanging in midair, lips parted for it even though it's not coming.

Then he closes his mouth, looking back and forth between William and the newcomer.]


. . . He never told me he had a, what? You're—like his boyfriend? He didn't say . . .
belfire: (surprise!!)

Eh?

[Kaz paused halfway off the windowsill and stared at Leon, obviously stunned by his presence and words. He genuinely wasn't sure how to react. Boyfriend? Of all the accusations his window-crawling had gotten him, that was a first!]

I'm not, uh... [He blinked once, twice, looking torn between amusement and embarrassment. It was kind of funny, but at the same time, um?? What did you even say to that?] Actually, we're more like, uh, kindred spirits?

[What even, Kaz?]

Hmm? Is that so? Do you have a fondness towards your friend?

[Again he's teasing William, but this was kind of funny to him. Though he does answer him about the temperance.]

Ah of course, we were always taught in the church that it was vital for our every day lives.

That's what everyone seems to think whenever I mention it, but I am a fully trained priest.

[He also takes a mental note of William's behavior of his friend with an amused grin. He does decide to change the subject however.]

So how about those drinks? I could use one.

Alisha Diphda. It's a pleasure.

You aren't celebrating alone, are you?

[ She approaches when he's in a bookstore, not at all caring that he might want to be alone or at least not be graced with the company of a crude old woman. ]

You know the best books are in the pleasure district!

I see. So, you'll buy your own presents? I suppose any way you want to spend it is the best way to celebrate a birthday.

[Oh, just wait.

But wow, this place is interesting. Leon wanders around to check it out; he's not too nosy, no poking into any drawers, but he's curious, and William probably doesn't mind, right? Well, he can warn him away from anything he really doesn't want him to see.]


19 . . . so not that much older. We're pretty close! I just missed my birthday when I showed up here, but I dunno if it counts when it probably hasn't been a whole year since my last one, y'know?

[Probably.

He's not sure. It still messes him up. Should he say something? It's William . . . maybe he's ready . . .

But it's his birthday. Way to bring down a party, talking about your own age issues. It can wait.]
babermetrics: (horseplay is morally indefensible)

[personal profile] babermetrics 2016-03-20 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
You just said you were gonna marry him, c'mon . . .

[Maybe it was a joke? Weird joke, though. That's the kind of joke you make to test the waters out on someone and then go "just kidding!" if they react with horror—or at least, that's what Leon would do. The kind of joke that doesn't mean nothing if you'd make it.]

L, look, it ain't like I care if you are, I've totally had gay friends before! I just dunno why he wouldn't tell me!

[He's a little cagey about it, still glancing back and forth between the two of them. But sure, this is fine. Weird, but fine. Probably?]

[He wonders how much alcohol William can handle before he'll fall over, but he just has to wait and see. He does however start drinking his wine.]

Hmm, not bad. I'd say this one is definitely worth having more often.

Madam? Bwahahaha!

[ She whacks him in the back (and probably send him straight into the shelf because what is holding back your strength?) ]

Such a fancy little turd~! But of course you do, everyone needs stuff from the pleasure district once in a while!
