Summary: Toben was a handful to watch over to prevent him from causing public destruction and disturbances. So much that it started to wear him down. So Malik decided to send them both on a nice trip to the hot springs as a birthday gift. But Topaz feared that Toben was going to cause mayhem there. But there was a little surprise in story for him.

Topaz sighed as he apologized to the police once again for Toben's behavior. Ever since the other got himself a real body instead of being a second personality to Topaz, he was wreaking havoc everywhere. It was only made worse when Crimson decided to join in on the fun. Malik saw this and knew his sibling would get so tired of Toben's shit that he might just toss the other out the house for good. And as much as they would probably please his sister, he could just think of what destruction may happen if Crimson every gotten word of it. So that night, once Toben was asleep, which was the only time Topaz seems to have to unwind from the day itself, Malik stepped into the room. "Hey Topaz, I got a question for you." Topaz looked up to him, bags clearly seen under his eyes and he winced.
"Yikes. That bad?"
"That bad. So what is it you want to ask me?" Topaz asked as he looked to him. "Well seeing as you've been so busy lately, I decided that you need some time to unwind so here." he said, holding out two passes to him. Topaz took them and read the pass. "Holy shit! You got me a weekly pass to Domino Resort and Spa?" Malik smiled and nodded. "Yeah, you've been too overworked and that looks to be just perfect. And I have the week set on your birthday which makes it even better." Topaz nodded, smiling wide. "But, why is there two, are you coming with me?" Malik shook his head. "No. Well it's going to come off as shocking but...I think you could take Toben along."
"Hell no! If I take him with me, that place will be destroyed by nightfall!" he said. "But what if he's completely fine? He might just need some relaxation and maybe he'll be a little less insane." Malik goaded. Topaz sighed before looking back down to the passes. He could really use a day in the spa but the idea of having Toben coming along frightens him greatly. "Just think it over, alright? I'm sure it won't end up being too bad." Malik said before leaving. Topaz sighed as he set the passes on the table. "I wish it wouldn't be so bad but the idea of bringing what could be an asylum patient to a spa isn't on the top of my list." he murmured before deciding to head to bed.

Later that night, after Toben fell asleep, the soft glow of the moonlight that shines into Toben's bedroom seemed to have brightened and there in the spot where it shone rested a box. Toben yawned as he shifted before getting up. The brightness dimmed before he was fully awake and he looked down, seeing the box down there. "Ooh, a present!" he cheered as he got up from the bed and knelt down onto the floor. Ever since getting a real body, he in retrospect didn't really have a birthday so he decided to share his with Topaz's. He opened the box and saw a simple black collar resting inside. He grinned as he grabbed it and examined it. "I love it!"
"Toben! Shut up and go to sleep!" Marik yelled from the other room and Toben pouted before slipping on the collar and headed back to bed. What he didn't know was that the collar was magical and starting to affect him as he slept.

Topaz yawned as he headed downstairs the next morning, just waiting to hear the sounds of destruction early in the morning. But when all was silent except the sounds of someone in the kitchen cooking, he blinked before heading inside. To his shock and awe, Toben was at the stove cooking. Not burning or demolishing but actually cooking. "Toben, what the fuck!" he screeched and Toben looked over to him before smiling warmly. "I wanted to make you something nice, Topaz. I don't know what came over me but I'm calm, very calm, calmer than I have been." he said as he scooped another omelet onto the plate beside him and held it out to Topaz. Topaz blinked again before taking the plate and nodded. "Ok..." he murmured as he went to sit down while Toben continued to cook. "This is weird." he murmured softly to himself but started to eat the food Toben made even though he was sure he probably should've worried about it being poisonous somehow.
"This is actually pretty good."

Once the week of Topaz's birthday, the two of them were packed and ready to go. Topaz was still a little weirded out by Toben's passiveness but counted his graces that he might just get through this trip without too many problems. Ishizu took them up to the hot springs and let them go, wishing Topaz good luck just in case the game Toben playing was an act. The two headed inside and Topaz showed the receptionist at the desk the two passes for their week stay and she nodded, handing them two keys for their room. He took them before heading up to their room. When he opened the door, he smiled as he looked at the room before placing his bag down. "Man, this is a nice room." he said before looking over to Toben. "Yes, it's really nice. Shall we go to the hot springs?" he asked as he looked to him.
"Ok Toben, something weird is going on with you! What's up?" Topaz demanded. "Nothing's wrong, Topaz. I just feel really calm. You wanted me to be this way, didn't you?" Toben questioned as he watched him. "Well yeah...but this is freaking me out a little." Toben chuckled softly and that's when he saw it. Around his neck was a black collar. "Toben, where'd you get that collar from?" he asked. "Oh this? I think someone gave it to me as a gift." he said before unpacking his things. Topaz was a little skeptical about it but nodded. 'Guess enjoy this while it lasts then remove that collar. That's must be what's making him this way since he never wore that thing before.' Topaz thought.

The week was enjoyed greatly with a calm dip in the hot spring and a full body massage that just seemed to work away all the tension he dealt with for so long. The night before Ishizu was scheduled to pick them up, Topaz asked what Toben got him for his birthday. "Here you go." he said, handing him a wrapped box. Topaz took it and opened it, revealing a figurine that looked as if it was hand-carved. "Wow, thanks Toben." he said, smiling softly as he set it off to the side. "Now, I got something for you too." he purred as he held Toben's hand and moved him over to the bed, sitting him down before leaning in for a kiss. Toben purred deeply as he wrapped his arms around him. While deeply indulged in the kiss, Topaz slipped his hands up to the latch on the collar and undone it, removing it from his neck. With the collar gone, Toben pulled back and blinked for a moment.
"Where am I?"
"We're at the Domino Resort and Spa for a birthday week vacation." he said and Toben scratched his head. "Then why in the hell don't I remember getting here?" Topaz held up the collar. "Because of this I'm guessing. It made you such a nice little kitty which worried me at first but then I enjoyed it for its worth before I decided I like you better when you were a mental patient." he said as he pocketed the collar. "But I may just keep this for when I need a break from your insane side." he added and Toben smirked as he flipped their position. "Or maybe we can make a compromise to relieve me of some crazy energy."
Topaz gulped a little at the predatory gleam in his lover's eye.

"So, how was it?" Ishizu asked as she picked them up. Toben grinned. "Very relaxing. I think I may not go stir crazy anymore so many times in a week." Toben said as he grinned over to Topaz. "Yeah, that would make things so much easier on me." he murmured. 'But my poor body is going to feel it badly later.' he thought to himself as Toben's arm slung around him and he rested his head on his shoulder. "Don't worry, my little vixen, I'll go easy on you. Besides, this will give me a reason to not destroy things and thus, you don't have to apologize so much for my actions and you won't be so weary."
"I'll be weary just handling you alone." Topaz muttered and Toben laughed as he nuzzled him.
