It's Niou's turn now! He's got the theme of candles, perfect for our little Trickster. I know that Akaya's birthday actually comes before Niou's but for the sake of this fic Niou's comes first. Please don't hate me too much for it! This one time, I promise! That apology out of the way, on with the fic!

Candles

"Are you sure you two don't need any help?" Niou asked as he watched his two lovers flit about his kitchen. Marui sighed as he set some candles down on the table.

"For the last time, 'Haru, no." Marui said as Akaya put dinner on the table. "It's your birthday and we're not letting you lift a single finger." With that said, Marui lit the candles and smiled down at his boyfriend. Niou sank back into his chair.

"But it feels weird being served in my own house…" Niou mumbled. Akaya grinned.

"Aw, 'Haru-senpai, I didn't know you were so polite! Looks like a Yagyuu-senpai is rubbing off on you." He teased, leaning down to kiss away the sour look on Niou's face. Niou immediately pulled him closer to deepen the kiss. Akaya easily succumbed, but as he moved closer he accidentally knocked over a candle. The tablecloth quickly caught fire and Niou and Akaya leapt away, Akaya yelping as he dragged his hand away from the flame. Marui quickly grabbed the fire extinguisher from under the sink and put out the mini inferno, white foam covering the table.

"Are you two okay?" The redhead asked as he dropped the fire extinguisher and hurried over to the two.

"I'm fine but I think the brat's hurt his hand." Niou said as Marui started fussing over the second year. Akaya struggled in his grip.

"I'm fine." Akaya insisted as he pulled his hand from the cold water Marui was running it under. Akaya looked sadly at the remains of dinner. "Sorry about ruining your birthday dinner, 'Haru-senpai."

"Don't worry about it, Akaya." Niou sighed as he pulled the boy into a one armed hug. A smirk spread across his features. "Besides, this means that I have more room for dessert."

"But shouldn't we…oh. Oh!" Akaya's eyes widened in realisation and he started to blush, Marui not far behind him as he unravelled the implication behind Niou's word. Niou's smirk widened and he wrapped his arms round their waists, pulling them closer to him.

"Itadakimasu." He whispered wolfishly before dragging them both up to his room. Let's just say that, before the night was over, all three of them were satiated in one way or another.

A/N: Itadakimasu basically means something along the lines of thanks for the food. The spelling might be different but I got this from an English-Japanese online dictionary so I'm just going to accept it as it is for now. Feel free to tell me the proper spelling if I am wrong.
