Hello and welcome to MidLu week! For this ship week I'm doing something a bit different than usual, each of the prompts will be small 500 word drabbles instead of longer pieces. This format has been very nice to me and I've gotten much more done with it in place than previous attempts at ship weeks. I hope you all enjoy these drabbles and make sure to check out GemNika and LittlePrincessNana's MidLu week stories!

"So, you mean to tell me that you have no idea when your birthday is?"

Midnight shook his head softly, his eyes still closed as he replied, "No, it was not something you would think about a lot when you were a slave in a tower. Even if you could remember it's not like they had a calender on hand for you to know what the date was."

"Is your age just a guess then?" Lucy questioned.

Again Midnight shook his head, "No, we all could recall how old we were at the time, Brain filled in the blanks after that. The exact day of the year was irrelavent to him, plus there was no real way of knowing exactly anyhow, thus we stopped wondering." He turned around a bit to look her in the eye, "Why do you ask anyways?"

Lucy twirled her fingers while answering, "I was curious...you guys don't seem the type to get excited about something as small as a birthday, but at the same time it's hard to believe you all forgot about it."

A momentary silence filled the room before being broken by Midnight's punctuating response, "So?"

The Celestial Mage raised a quizzial eyebrow at him, "So, what?" she asked.

"So, when do you think we were born?"

Lucy blinked, once, twice, then in a small voice squeaked, "You want to know what I think?"

The Reflector Mage smiled at her, "Knowing you, you've probably thought about it at least a little. Besides, it can't be any more right or wrong than anyone else's prediction."

Lucy still looked hesitant, but Midnight didn't need Cobra's soul reading ability to know that her mind was currently whirling.

"Well, to me, I think Cobra was born the earliest in the year; he always struck me as an early spring baby. Then Sorano would be next as the late spring one, sometime when everything was really starting to come everything is coming back to life. Saywer and Richard are the summer children, both born during the summer's peak, with Richard only being a few days to a week older. As for you..." Lucy trailed off, pausing to grin at him, "you would be at the end of the year, right as winter starts."

"Because I'm the youngest?" he replied.

"No, because that's what I think of when I think of you. The way it starts to get cold, how it gets darker than any other time of the year; couple that with all the wonder of the first snow and it just feels like you." She giggled, "If someone had asked me this before I knew you I think I would have said the middle of the winter, where everything is cold and everyone is miserable."

Midnight blinked back in surprise; leave it to his girlfriend to say something so meaningful about a date.

Maybe they'll be able to celebrate his birthday next winter.

Yes, Sorano is a Gemini :P
