Summary: [one-shot, 31halloween, prompt #31, Halloween; Ryou, Fubuki, & Fujiwara] When it comes to parties, Fubuki is a planner. Especially when it's three birthday parties in one.
"We've got three cakes." Fubuki stared from the table groaning with refreshments to the list in his hand. "Seven different kinds of potato chips, ten different kinds of dip, every soda I could find, green tea for Ryou, ice cream in every flavor." He double-checked, he'd managed to get every flavor. At least every flavor the store had available.
"Are you sure about all of this?" Fujiwara stood in the doorway, watching the preparations with hints of unease in the depths of his eyes. Fubuki waved a careless hand.
"Does it matter? It's that time!" He hadn't sounded this excited since...the last time the three of them celebrated their birthdays. Fujiwara smiled.
"I suppose you're right." Granted, he still didn't think piling enough food to feed a medium sized army was the best way to celebrate the first birthday since they were reunited, but he wasn't the one paying for it.
Ryou stepped up behind Fujiwara, cool gaze flickering over everything Fubuki'd prepared. "You're having fun with this, aren't you?" He really didn't need to ask. There wasn't a lot Fubuki didn't have fun with.
"How could I not? It's the birthday week!" Fubuki said that in tones that most people normally associated with 'water is wet' and 'the sun rises in the east'.
"Three days aren't a week." Fujiwara couldn't help but point out. Fubuki waved his hand again.
"Details, details." He turned to face both of them, eyes flittering with pleasure. "This is our party. This is our birthday. We are the birthday brothers."
Ryou rolled his eyes; Fubuki'd insisted on saying that every year on October 31st. That was only Fubuki's actual birthday; his own was on the first of November, while Fujiwara's was on the second. If nothing else, none of them had any excuses for forgetting.
"Everyone should start turning up soon." Fubuki didn't bother to look at the time. He hadn't set a time to start, but he knew people and he knew what they'd do. "Is everyone ready for a great party?"
"Do we have a choice?" Ryou deadpanned and Fubuki grinned even wider.
"Nope."
The End
First Note: While I write in the anime-verse, the manga states Fubuki & Ryou's birthdays are indeed October 31 and November 1. Fujiwara's isn't mentioned, but I've always had a soft spot for the three of them having birthdays that line up like that.
Second Note: I originally posted this back in October 2012, but now am reposting these ficlets separately instead of as a collection, in order to have each listed under their proper character and rating.
