002 [Video]

[The feed cuts on, displaying the small kitchen that their apartment has. Lenalee is currently hovering over the stove, each eye covered in a pot or skillet, all filled with different meals cooking. Behind her, the counter top is covered in baking supplies. One large bowl was in the middle, near overflowing with a pink tinted batter. A rustling could be heard off camera, likely her grumpy partner in baking crime.]

Kanda, It looks like the dinner is going to be ready soon, how is the cake coming?

[Yep, sure enough she'd coerced Kanda into baking. She couldn't do it all by herself! Especially if she wanted to get it all ready in time for Allen's arrival home. She stirs the food on the stove and covers it back up, smiling a rather satisfied smile.]

Kanda? Did you hear me? [She turned, stopping short to cover her mouth with one of her hands.]

[To Lenalee's dismay, most of the mess in the kitchen was coming from Kanda who was now, unfortunately, covered in pink flour. It had been his job to mix the batter but telling an angry guy to do something he really wasn't good at and didn't want to do could only end in disaster. He was holding a large bowl in his arms still mixing away with the most defeated and annoyed looks the guy could muster.]

I'm trying to remember why I agreed to this in the first place.

[He sounded so angry, like a child forced into a punishment.]

Don't look at me like that.

[A laugh escapes Lenalee's lips as she finally notices the communicator hanging on the wall has turned on. With a shake of her head she moves to turn it off, her final words the last thing trasmitted before it's turned off]

You agreed because it's Allen's birthday. You're a complete mess!

[[Ooc: Joint post! Lenalee's text is purple, and poor Kanda's is blue. Feel free to respond to this sight with video posts, you'll either get Lenalee, or Kanda (or perhaps both) in response!) Action open for Allen once he gets home from class :3]

[Her laughter just makes him mix the contents of the bowl again. Violently. Teeth gritted.]

Why couldn't we just buy the beansprout a stupid cake. I have better things to do.

[sanguineheels]

[The apology is almost immediate]

Sorry, Kanda. I know it shouldn't be funny. [She steps over and holds her hands out.] Why don't you give that to me, and get cleaned up?

... You're really pink. [...notgonnalaughnotgonnalaugh.]

[decaying]

Don't talk. [And he passed her the bowl, staring at himself. He really was covered in pink.] Just don't bother.

Why do I even listen to you.

[sanguineheels]

[She fixes Kanda with a curt little frown. Really?]

It's going to wash out. You can put your clothes in with the wash. [She's not going to listen to the "don't talk" part. Sorry Kanda.] Once the cake is in the oven I'll clean your clothes.

[...what? She likes being domestic.]

[decaying]

[Okay. His clothes will be cleaned and not by his hand. He closes his mouth, turns, and just starts taking off his shirt.]

I still think we should have just bought a cake.

[sanguineheels]

[See? It's all going to work out. She blinks at his hurried disrobing and pointedly turns around to attend to pouring the cake into molds so it can go into the oven..]

It wouldn't have meant as much if we didn't make it ourselves.

[decaying]

[He's not taking this thing into the bathroom. It's going to get pink stuff everywhere so he just left the dirty shirt on a chair.]

Now I'm regretting showing you those papers. Next time I won't bother.

[Allen had a rather busy and eventful day at school and learning about as much as the boy could. He was still a little iffy going to school even after a month since he never been to school before now. It was a new experience. Yawning slightly, Allen's plan was to go home, get changed and go back out to earn some munny, that's how he usually does things on a day to day basis.

Stretching slightly, he soon reached the door, placing his hand upon the door handle as he opened it up.]

I'm home.

Re: action;

[sanguineheels]

[The lights in the apartment are off, but as soon as Allen walks in, they flash on, displaying the kitchen table currently overflowing with food. Not only is there a surprising amount of mitarashidango in the center of the table, there's a large bowl of dumpling soup, a couple of chicken dishes, and a special serving of soba noodles.

Lenalee steps out of her hiding spot soon after the lights turn on.]

Welcome home, Allen!

[decaying]

[While Lenalee wanted to surprise the guy, Kanda didn't. He had spent two long hours washing his hair out of all the cake mix. It smelled like strawberries now. He hadn't hid, he just sat in a chair looking as annoyed as always.]

About time you got here.

action;

[mynameisallen]

[The one thing he hadn't been expecting when he got home was what he had come home to. Putting the bag off his shoulders, his eyes looking upon the amount of food then towards Lenalee and lastly Kanda.]

What's going on exactly?

[Guess who doesn't know what the date is?]

so slowwww sorry ;_;

[sanguineheels]

Happy Birthday! [That's all the explanation you're going to get, you derpy boy. She steps over and takes Allen's hands to pull him over to the table.]

We made you dinner, and there's a cake for dessert. When Kanda told me about the date, I had to do something.

[decaying]

[And she said it. Great, obviously telling her not to mention his name with this all had clearly gone in one ear and flown out the other. He wasn't surprised.]

Hurry up and eat.

[Video] oh dear. XD

[geniustheveil]

[This is Ami, politely covering her mouth - but it's pretty obvious she's holding back a laugh. You look cute like that, Kanda.]

Please give Allen my birthday greetings as well.

[Video] HDU laugh at his paaaaain

[decaying]

[Great. Good job, Lenalee. Now the world knows he's covered in pink junk.]

Great. You.

[Video] But but but.... XD

[geniustheveil]

[What a greeting.]

You seem to be working very hard to give him a memorable birthday.

[Video] B|

[decaying]

If I had any say in this, I would have just bought the beansprout a stupid cake. Making one is a waste of time.

[Video] B|

[geniustheveil]

But making one with your own hands is more personal, isn't it?

[Video]

[decaying]

Do I look like some baker to you?

[iscursednomore]

You made quite a mess there.

[sanguineheels]

Ah, just a bit! [She laughs.] Kanda's pretty grumpy about it. I'm sure it will all wash out though... [At least, she hopes.]

[iscursednomore]

It should do. Though is Kanda-chan always that grumpy?

[Yes, he said chan.]

[sanguineheels]

[-chan? Excuse her while she raises a hand to her mouth to hide the laughter.]

Ah... sometimes. [most of the time...]

[iscursednomore]

He reminds me of a friend I know. Always was serious.

[See him put on a serious face for a moment.]

[sanguineheels]

Oh? Is that so? What is your friend like?
