Summary: heckle

I. spooky trees
[It is what it sounds like: somewhere on the Far Shore, anywhere on the Far Shore, where Hazel is and where you, the witness, also happen to be, Hazel is making his way downtown around minding his own business like a man being followed. Or: he keeps looking over his shoulder, or stopping abruptly to look suddenly off to one side, or do all manner of things that look very much like he's trying to catch someone sneaking up on him.

But there isn't anyone there, because of course there isn't. Eventually, exasperated, he just comes to a natural stop and announces to the air:] Even the dang trees're nosy.

[have you ever been stalked by a spooky forest]


II. what kind of dewey decimal is this
[There's a library and new gods are being invited to come. That's enough for Hazel to finally nose around in there, after staying very much away from anything involving being within spitting distance of the old gods before now. He's a sight to behold when any individual old god passes by and expects a greeting, all manners and flattery and unpleasant looks the moment their backs are turned. He'd give them a rude gesture for the road, but that's far too improper for him.

But when he's not making childish faces at other gods' backs, he's trying to find... anything at all worthwhile in this place. There's nothing in order. It's a wreck. He can't find a single thing, and for all his practicing there are still plenty of kanji he's never seen before, so the older books in particular are brutal...

He pauses, picks a book up off a shelf, and frowns at it.] I can't even remember lookin' for this, it was so long ago.

[He has been here for Hours.]

[hello what would you like to do? please ask and I can deliver]

[Ugh, he's so cute. Hazel knows he remembered last night - Jae-Ha is far from subtle, and he could practically feel him buzzing with anticipation. It's so like him to get distracted by the flowers...!! He leans on one hand against the back of the couch, reaching out to ruffle Jae-Ha's hair with the other.]

You're adorable. That's the plan, though—I got ya more than just that, too.

[GIFTS...... they're coming. Soon!!]

[razzledazzles]

[A day celebrating him, he's so happy already. Even if Hazel is silly. He reaches up with a hand to fix the hair that was just ruffled, his free hand moving to Hazel's cheek so he can lean up into a kiss. He gets as many of these as he wants today especially, right??]

Where do we start? Walk me through it. If you'd like to tell me I'm beautiful a little extra, I'm sure that would be just fine, as well. [He laughs, patting his cheek now and pulling back just slightly.]

[churchbelle]

[Yes?? Of course he gets as many kisses as he wants. There's nothing that can take Hazel down from the birthday high he's already worked himself up to laughing over his stupid gifts, so he's already chuckling again as he leans forward to press a kiss to Jae-Ha's forehead.]

Y'look even better with that pin. [ha....... ha!!] We're gonna do whatever ya want, startin' right now. And I've got gifts too, whenever you're up to it.

[Hint hint, let's do gifts right now, he'll go crazy waiting to present these beautiful things.]

[razzledazzles]

[Whatever he wants... Ah, but there's no way he can be patient when there are gifts waiting. He moves to stand up from the couch, brushing away any wrinkles before he looks over with Interest.]

Let's start with the gifts. [Where does he go, show him the presents.]

[churchbelle]

[Yessss!! But no, Jae-Ha has to stay right there. Hazel reaches up to grab his shoulders and push him gently back down onto the couch, stay here, stay here.]

Wait here and I'll grab 'em. [He'll be quick! They're probably waiting right outside in the hall, because he Planned for this great gift unveiling, so he'll be back literally in less than a minute with his gifts. They're each in their own pretty present bag, because he can't wrap...

He puts them down on the couch and then takes a seat between Jae-Ha and the gifts, picking up the tiniest one and holding it out to him. It's ribbons. Love them.] Go on.

[razzledazzles]

[Oh, they'll be brought to him? Even better. Jae-Ha scoots to the edge of the couch, waiting eagerly with his hands on his knees until he's handed this little package. He reaches in very delicately, pulling out the long ribbons with an immediate smile. Ah— cute...]

Ribbons! [He runs his fingers along the length of it, and then holds them up near his hair.] Will they look nice, you think?

[He's so going to wear these.]

[churchbelle]

[Good, good. Starting with the nice gift before he blindsides Jae-Ha with these bullshit gifts, ha ha...]

They'll look real handsome. I thought ya might like the pattern. [tell him you like the pattern]

[razzledazzles]

I love the pattern. [He really does!! He glances down at it fondly now, running a finger over it again.] It reminds me of our garden. Thank you.

[How cute... He leaves them across his lap for now, setting this little gift bag aside before he holds out his hands expectantly for the next one. He can see them, let him see what they are!!]

[churchbelle]

[Pattern: successful. Hazel leans over to kiss him on the cheek as he reaches behind himself for the next bag, which is one of these stupid t-shirts... he doesn't care which one Jae-Ha sees first, because they're both so... good.

The kiss is a distraction. He's thought this out. Now, the next bag.] Here ya go. I saw it and it seemed fittin'.

[razzledazzles]

[Oh boy!! A kiss and another present. This time, he pulls out what seems to be bright green cloth. Taking the time to slowly unfold it in front of himself, the stupid cartoon dragon comes into view, and Jae-Ha's expression shifts accordingly.]

Fitting, was it? [HAZEL... He turns it so Hazel can see, holding it in place over his chest for a preview. Enjoy, laugh it up—] You're horrible.

[churchbelle]

[He's not laughing! He's very serious about this dragon shirt! He sits back a little to consider it when Jae-Ha holds it up, like yes, perfect...]

No, really—it suits ya. It's really... y'know...

[No he can't, now he's turning away to cover his mouth and laugh.]

[razzledazzles]

[He holds it a little closer to his chest, leaning forward.]

You're so... [Eventually he drops the shirt in his lap to reach out and pinch both of Hazel's cheeks. Laugh at this!] You're the one who will have to look at its large, unnatural face, you know. I hope it won't leave me neglected.

[churchbelle]

[He will laugh at that, thanks. At least until he's bothered by pinching and covering Jae-Ha's hands with his own to tug them away. Nooo... he'll even bite the inside of his cheek to stop from snickering, as well as that goes. Look at that shirt!!]

It'll be just fine. I bet you'll look real cute in it.

[razzledazzles]

[This shirt is absolutely ridiculous and he hates that he's fond of it because of it. Because of how ridiculous it is, and how Hazel decided to get it for him because haha green dragon, and how he's laughing so adorably now... He's going to wear this plenty.

He can't help a laugh himself as his hands are pulled away, looking at him fondly.]

Alright, alright, what's next?

[churchbelle]

[Good... Hazel wants at least ten pictures of him in the stupid shirt, he'll make them his phone background on rotation. But before that, he reaches for the last bag, holding it out and just smiling without laughing himself silly this time. Take it.]

I'll tell ya now, it's another shirt.

[razzledazzles]

Naturally.

[Of course it's another shirt!! He still smiles as he reaches in, moves the bag aside and then holds it up just like before. This one, he points at with one of his hands, holding the rest of the shirt up with his chin.]

This one is more like me, isn't it?! Look, he's a little cool. [A LITTLE COOL...]

[churchbelle]

[A LITTLE COOL... BABE...... Hazel smiles at him even wider, maybe just to stop himself from losing it laughing again. This fake birthday is the best idea he's ever had.

He pokes Jae-Ha in the chest, right on the Cool Dragon.] He's somethin' else, alright. You've got that in common.

[razzledazzles]

[These dumb dragons... This one is less dumb than the other, but he's aware this shirt is advertising beer. He laughs at the poke, finally setting the shirt and ribbons aside to lean forward and reach for Hazel.]

I'll take that. [Come here, he's stealing another kiss. He really does appreciate the gifts and this whole birthday, silly t-shirts and all.]

[churchbelle]

[Hazel obliges him easily, sliding closer to Jae-Ha and sliding one arm around his shoulders as he leans into the kiss. A good, successful birthday—but he's not done yet!!]

I got ya a cake, too. [He went all out,] And there's another present, but it's a surprise.

[It's still stupid... but that's fine, it's stupid out of love. For now he's kissing Jae-Ha again, happily. Happy birthday kisses...]

[razzledazzles]

Really, there's more?

[Whether it's another silly thing or not, Jae-Ha's surprised to hear that he has another present and cake waiting. He kisses him again, a little slower, and smiles against his lips.]

We should enjoy the cake now, before I get too distracted. I can even get comfortable in one of these shirts. What do you think?

[churchbelle]

[He's going to wear a dumb shirt. This is the best day ever. Hazel squeezes his arm around him a little tighter before pulling away, already moving to get up and tug Jae-Ha up with him. Forget these empty gift bags for now...]

Wear the green one. [yes,] I'll take your picture.

[razzledazzles]

For your eyes only, right?

[Not that he'd really mind if Hazel showed him off all over. But in this shirt, must he... Still, he's tugged up, and reaches down just for the green shirt as they leave the rest of everything there.]

Who knew such a silly shirt would gain me such attention? Perhaps I'll wear it often.

[churchbelle]

Maybe I'll show the picture around the way your pictures of me seem to wind up gettin' shown around to whoever doesn't ask.

[Gaze... Like he's ever stopped Jae-Ha showing off his picture or him in general, but sometimes it's a little silly. When he had on that stupid hair decoration, for example.]

Anyway, go put it on and I'll get the cake out.

[the dweebiest cake]

[razzledazzles]

I can't imagine how that happens.

[Show off war...!! He laughs, giving one more kiss to his cheek before he pulls away.] I'll be right down.

[He'll just get entirely comfortable, if they're going to be lounging around like this. So! This silly green t-shirt, over his silly pants that are normally reserved for wearing under his robe. No shoes, no silly under shirts or jackets, just this. His hair is still tied back but he's sure they'll deal with that later.

So, now he can wander into the kitchen and peer at the top of the cake. They haven't even cut the cake and he's in love with those little sprinkles. Guess who is taking a picture of his food, like the Youths do...]

[churchbelle]

[Yes, Hazel is definitely waiting for Jae-Ha to come see the cake in all its glory before he cuts it to reveal the gay heart within... He's smiling at it like a nerd and smiles even brighter when Jae-Ha comes back in. The shirt looks absolutely stupid and he loves it, it's perfect. It gives him a softer warm and fuzzy feeling to see Jae-Ha so relaxed, too.

God, he's a genius. Anyway, come here, come here.]

Quit fussin' over it and come over here. It's not gonna cut itself and you're gonna want to see this.

[The ceremonial store-bought cake cutting begins...]
