[Sfw] ♡ Birthday Room ♡

[awuka]

[Everyone on the ship receives a pink envelope sealed with a red heart sticker under their door. Inside it is a card that says "Happy Birthday Alluka! Dear (insert your character's name here), you have been invited to the birthday party taking place on September 14th at this location. There will be cake, icecream, games, and kitty magic all day. Please think hard about the gift you'd like to give before arriving! See you there!" On the other side of the card is a map with precise instructions on how to get to the room from the receiver's exact location.

Newly freshened from brushing her teeth and hair in Killua's bathroom, Alluka feels ready enough to pursue the room in the birthday invite. Hidden behind a door decorated in pink balloons and streamers, the room invites her inside.

Beyond the door is a big parlor decked to the teeth in ribbons, flowers, and colorful balloon animals. Alluka steps inside and looks around. There's a wide table at the back with a big, gray Pusheen cake on top of it with a tray of gray kitten cupcakes, a big cake knife, and bags of party favors and candy on either side of it. There's a long table for guests to sit at as well as a comfortable area for guests to play games.

Alluka runs to the cake and starts inspecting it. It doesn't look like any cake she's seen before. Is something so cute really supposed to be cut into?]

*killua's disappointed by kalluto's response, but not surprised that he doesn't know much more about her than he does, with the way the family kept her locked away from everyone. they'll just have to get to know each other here.

his hand is still rubbing into kalluto's eagerly-nuzzling head, and at alluka's request, he reaches the hand he was leaning on the back of kalluto's chair over to pet hers as well, snorting,* so this is why i've got two hands.

*Kalluto takes a contented breath and roughly shakes his head up against Killua before moving it out from under his hand. Taking the chair with both hands, he scoots it closer to Allukas, then curls his fingers around the back of her hair, running his nails lightly along her scalp just under her headband.*

It's her birthday... so we can give her double.

[awuka]

[Alluka's face melts into a buttery smile as she takes affection from both of them. The nails on her scalp feel excellent, so she nudges her head into them, her tail curling happily.]

I love my brothers!

[She pulls her chair out and rises from her seat in order to hug both of them. First, Killua, and second, Kalluto.]

Hehe--Thank you for making my birthday so good!

[devil_or_angle]

*the warmth of alluka's hug radiates from killua's smile as she throws her arms around kalluto next, literally embracing both of them as her family.*

it's your first proper birthday, so we have to make it a good one.

*he reaches out to ruffle her hair some more, catching kalluto's eye over her shoulder.*

i'm glad we're both here for it.

[descendsanathema]

*When Kalluto feels Alluka's arms around him, there's a flash of primal terror. The warmth of the last half hour or so, and of the last few days with Killua too, can't dampen his reaction to the touch, which somehow felt like two presences. It's a reaction which only Killua notices as Alluka and Kalluto's chins are on each other's shoulders, their heights well matched.

He tilts his gaze downwards, trying to lose himself in that warmth again. Kalluto knew he'd have to ask Killua how he can forget what Alluka and the other Alluka are capable of doing. How he can relax at all.*

I'm where I need to be right now, *he says to the both of them.*

[awuka]

I'm so happy...

[She squeezes Kalluto flush to her chest, embracing her little brother for an inordinate amount of time. Being a big sister fills her with an indescribable joy that she sorely missed, having no idea that this Kalluto was technically older than her, who had just turned twelve.]

As long as you don't side with our parents or big brothers, I like you a lot...!

*there’s a bit of fear in the backs of kalluto’s eyes when they meet killua’s, and he watches him dutifully bury it down, letting his sister hug him despite it. unseen to either of them, killua gulps, confronted with the sobering realization that kalluto is still fundamentally uncomfortable around alluka, and is likely only doing all this to please killua, who’d asked them to get along. maybe he was foolish to think that things could ever be easy between them, but for alluka’s sake, he has to hope.*

hey…

*his voice cracks somewhat when he speaks again, and he waits for them to part before continues.*

do you two want to check out some of the party games? i can show you how to play.
