1. why aren't you enjoying yourself? / KaitoxMiku /
AN: In Crazy nighT, there's a scene where everyone's smiling (party scene) - except Kaito. I took that and ran. Also, anyone else saw Twilight nighT?

She drank deeply, emptying the wineglass of its perfumed, intoxicating load before giggling as the purple-haired man refilled it with more wine. There were traces of vanilla and spices that warmed her up mixed into the sour, changed taste of the grape juice.
The maid danced off to the side, offering refreshments to the family that she served, and her eyes fell on the blue-haired master of the house. Out of all of them, he was the only one not smiling. Wasn't he enjoying himself?
She wandered into his direction, driven by a curiosity that had to be sated for a reason that didn't make sense, only stumbling a few times on her way. He acknowledged her presence with a slight nod of his head, but otherwise didn't move from his leaning position against the wall.
"Aren't you having fun?" she slurred out, and she could taste the leftover scent of wine on her breath. Getting drunk twice on the same amount of alcohol.
He looked at her for a long time. Behind her back, she could hear his wife cheering with joy, and the twins cackling madly in delight.
Finally, he broke eye contact and sipped his wine. "I am," he replied slowly.
"But?" she prompted, and then thanked the butler when he handed her the wineglass she had left on the other side of the room.
The master held out his own glass, and nodded in silent thanks when it was refilled. "How about I tell you tomorrow?" he offered. "Now is the time to enjoy the party, not listen to an old man's troubles."
"You're not that old."
He had an odd look; not quite a smile, but amusement was clear in every line and angle of his face. "Aren't I?"
She shook her head, but went off to enjoy the party.
