25 Unicorn Street, Friday Evening

[on_her_korhal]

So.

She had some food in the fridge. And drinks. Non-alcoholic drinks.

So.

She had a couch. And a record player. And--

A birthday party, apparently. Maybe. She wasn't sure.

[ open for some particular people, but hell, anyone who has any reason to be there ]

It wasn't because Kerrigan was only offering non-alcoholic drinks that Roy couldn't bring her a present that was suspiciously shaped like a bottle. Possibly a whiskey bottle too. Somehow he had the feeling it might be appreciated and knocked on the door.

The door opened--

"Oh, thank god."

"I know, I do look handsome tonight," he teased, grinning smugly as he held out the gift.

"Yeah, that must be it," Kerrigan countered, taking the bottle. Fast. "I'm spending my evening with teenagers. Again. And Lee didn't even bring a silly hat."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Teenagers are more bearable if they wear silly hats?" Roy asked, not waiting for an invitation to set inside the door.

"Sure, help yourself in," she snorted, throwing up one hand as she moved out of the way. "I'm willing to bet Adama would be. Can I get you anything neon and fizzy?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Nah, he's just clash with his surroundings more," Roy replied. "Neon and fizzy?"

"I wasn't going to stock up on alcohol with the kids coming around," Kerrigan shrugged.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"But neon?" he eyed her suspiciously. He was mostly teasing.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Yes. Neon." She shot him a prickly look, brushing her hand against the doorframe as she entered the kitchen. "Don't make me pick you a shade."

"Why not? It's your birthday after all," he pointed out as he followed her.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Fine, then it's pink," she countered, pulling open the fridge.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He frowned at her. "Now you're just being mean."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

He got a dry look as she pulled out the bottle. "You told me to pick."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"I expected you to pick something nice," he replied.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Now you're a teenager, too?" Kerrigan smirked, pulling a glass out of one of the cabinets.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy snorted. "Hardly, I'm the oldest one here."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"And yet the youngest in spirit," she deadpanned, pouring him a glass of solid neon pink and offering it to him with a smirk.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Fine, he would drink the pink thing. He took the glass from her fingers and smirked at her. "You should get yourself some of that too, so we can toast to your birthday."

"It's still technically not for a month," she said, with a roll of her eyes, and shoved the pink bottle back into the fridge.

She came up with some blue, and started rummaging around for a glass.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"So? This whole party is to pretend that it is sooner, right?" he asked as he sipped from his pink drink. Sweet.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"I don't think the rituals would hold up. Kind of defeat the point." Found her old glass, and poured it back with another straight helping of blue neon.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Why's that?" he asked, not quite seeing her objections.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Well, you know..." Kerrigan picked up her glass. "...Birthdays." She shrugged her shoulder. "You know?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Mmmmmm, I suppose I do," he agreed as he leaned against the counter. He had been the one not to mention it was his birthday when she visited him after all. "Judging by the fact that I'm standing here, I'm going to assume that everything went alright last week?"
