19th Combo - [Video]

[redcladidealist]

[There's a huge grin on Lloyd's face, the kind of grin you only give when you're pleased and excited and everything is right in the world, or when something amazing is happening.]

Hey, everyone! Guess who's officially an adult today!

[That's right, it's his birthday - or the one that he and Dirk celebrate. The only one he's ever known, so the only one that counts as far as he's concerned.]

Oh, yeah, by the way, Kanaya, I finished that necklace for you! When do you wanna meet up?

[He... hasn't realized yet that Kanaya is gone. Late with your gifts again, Lloyd. Always late. :/ ]

But man, I've been looking forward to this birthday so much! Now that I'm eighteen, I don't have to go back to school!

[She smirks.]

What if learning firsthand is boring too?

[redcladidealist]

Then I'll find some way to make it fun! That's the best part of doing things. You don't have to just sit still, so you can do something if it starts to get that boring.

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

I guess so...[She wonders how long it'll take for him to get bored of that.]

Good luck in all of that.

[redcladidealist]

[Hush, let him hold his illusions for a while~]

Thanks, Sheena.

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

So, any plans for the big day?

[redcladidealist]

I'm hoping to meet up with... with my friend. [There's a bit of a blush there, Sheena.] I didn't feel like throwing a party for myself, so I'm thinking I'll eat out and get a piece of cake from the restaurant. I'm going to buy some things that I've been saving up for, too.

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

...Oh? Is that a blush I'm seeing, Lloyd?

[SHE DOESN'T MISS THAT!]

Treat yourself, huh? Haven't gotten anything from someone special yet?

[redcladidealist]

W-what? No it's not!

[It so is.]

W-well, I'm not expecting anything from her. Not really. She didn't know today was my birthday.

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

I don't know, I think I'm seeing one.

[She raises an eyebrow.]

And who's "her"?

[redcladidealist]

[Fidget. So bright red.]

Her name's Kanaya. And I'm not blushing, Sheena!

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

I think you're in denial. So, what's this girl of yours like?

[redcladidealist]

[Ffff. He scrubs his cheek with his hand. He's not blushing. He's not. He's just a little warm.

He is smiling, though. It's hard not to with this topic.]

She's nice. We've been working on decorating a hat with feathers, and I made her a necklace I'm going to give her. It's not as good as it could be, since I don't have my Dad's forge and tools to work with, but I think she'll like it.

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

Oh, that sounds nice. I want to meet this girl one of these days, if she's got you carrying on like that.

[redcladidealist]

Maybe I'll invite her over sometime so she can meet all my friends. I'm pretty sure she'd like to meet you guys, too.

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that sounds like a good plan to me. I can't wait to meet her.

[redcladidealist]

I'll call you when we work something out!

[It's really too bad this isn't ever going to happen - because Kanaya's already gone.]

See you later, then!
