19th Combo - [Video]

[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!

I'll let you know how it goes.

[Still smiling. Always smiling for you.]

Then... let's do it.

[He hums a starting note, then starts to sing. He's not that great, but he's trying, right?]

Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you...

If you need any help, I can try that, too.

[ Just as he starts the tune, Colette will quietly begin to chime in. ]

-- Happy birthday dear -- [ A tiny pause. HOLD ON. ] Hehe, both of us! Happy birthday to you~

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd thoroughly approves of her choice of words, though he's a little late catching up with the change. Oh well, it's not like Colette will care if he messed up the song a little.]

Happy birthday to us!

Yeah! That was great!

[ Even if he did mess up, Colette was completely caught in the moment to notice. She loved singing, and to have Lloyd do it with her was such an overwhelming emotion that even ten birthdays couldn't fill.

She's so... so grateful. ]

Y- yes! Thank you, Lloyd. Thank you so much!

[It's too bad they're doing this over their Dreamberries right now. This is one of those moments where he wants to sit by her side and wrap an arm around her shoulders.]

You're welcome, Colette. Even if I'm not that good at singing, if it made you happy, I'm glad.

[ It certainly was a shame. She did want to be by his side. To sing songs, laugh, hug. These moments weren't meant just to see one another like this. ]

I don't care about that at all. I like how you sing, and... yes. I am happy- very happy!

Uh-- I baked you something. Would you like me to drop it off?

[redcladidealist]

You did? Really? Oh man, thank you, Colette! I love your cooking!

Yeah, bring it over whenever you want!
