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.

III Wildcard

What, from you? Really? I thought you were totally stingy!

[He's half kidding, and nudges William with his elbow, laughing. Half kidding. It's not like he doesn't know about William being kind of tight with his money. A present from him, though . . . the thought surprises him with how happy it makes him.]

Well it's January 3rd, so you've got forever to think about it!

[Speaking of birthdays, it's time to find some cake; he meanders over to that area, curious about what kind William likes. Something old-timey? What kind of cake did they have back then?]

And trust me, no one wants me to get old less than I do.

[After his last incident with vodka, he's staying far away from it.]

I'm not much of a vodka drinker, too disgusting for my taste buds.

Your friend? I wouldn't blame him. Drinking helps you through certain problems.

[He's slowly chugging his wine down and swishing it a bit in the glass between chugging.]

What d'you mean, me of all people?

[He has a moment where he thinks, he means because I'm dead, of course I don't have to worry about it, fuckin' stupid, but then he remembers that isn't a thing William knows. He hadn't been around for Leon's own mirror-room incident. It's a strange feeling; now there are people in the colony he's spoken to like once who know that about him, and here William doesn't. It doesn't sit right. But . . . on his birthday? No way!

He's just coming up with a long list of things to maybe consider talking about at non-birthday times.

This is a birthday time, and holy shit that cake looks good and dammit he's going to talk about that instead. He's still recovering from bristling over the innocent comment, but he distracts himself with a low whistle at all that chocolate.]


Damn, did you special order these?!

[ She's not human but she's human... It's complicated.

She doesn't even apologize though, she's far too caught up with... well, her normal attitude to life. ]


Nah! It's granny! Call me granny! And why d'you think that?

That or perhaps people get drunk out of enjoyment. It's a matter of taste.

[He finishes his drink already and seems really pleased.]

I know after a couple of drinks, I'm ready to have more fun than a simple drink can give.

[Kaz paused very awkwardly after William's shout, mouth half open from where he'd been about to say something - though (thankfully?) cut off before he got a word in]

...um, yeah. [he quickly recovered though, meekly shuffling into the living room proper and away from the window] It's just a dumb joke. Cuz, um. Yeah. So anyway! Let's move on and, uh, open presents! Yeah!

It'd be a pleasure.

Though, I don't believe you've introduced yourself.

Good boy!

[ She cheerfully pats him on the head. ]

Vulgar? I don't think so, it's a fun place.

[ She's one of those really old people so most people are kids to her. At home she is the oldest. ]

You see lots of crazy and people are cheerful and stuff!

Either going to the casino or laying up with a gorgeous woman.

[Hopefully William is fine with that answer because it's all he's getting.]

Don't mind if I do! Thanks, man! Are all butlers like this? You're soooo lucky . . .

[Talk about luxurious! It'd be awesome to have a guy around who was this dedicated to his birthday, Leon thinks. Or to serving him in general. That's the life of luxury . . .

He takes a sizable piece of a very chocolatey one and goes to take a seat and eat.]


I thought you were already from London, though!

Uh—yyyeah, okay . . . long's I'm not interrupting any, like, conversations you guys need to have . . .

[Leon's putting this together in his brain, and what he comes up with is this: this guy has a serious crush on William and has been trying to ease him into the idea with the whole future husband thing, but William's not gay, and just shot the dude down pretty brutally. Hoo boy.

(No one ever said Leon was good at putting things together.)

He actually feels a little guilty. Maybe he needs to talk to this dude later? Offer an apology? That was a real harsh shutdown on William's part . . . or maybe he needs to talk to William? Tell him to go easy next time! Sure it's awkward when a guy likes you and you're not gay, probably, not that Leon would know, but he would like to think he'd know how to let a guy down more kindly than that!

But whatever he decides to do, that's for later. Right now . . . he just watches them, completely awkward himself at having just witnessed that.]
