"This is really good, guys!" Takao said through a mouthful of food. Rei grinned and Hikaru looked away. She was modest when it came to compliments and such. Although... Now that Takao thought about it that was the only way in which she was modest.
But it didn't especially matter, in all blunt honesty the only straight one in the apartment was Kyouju, and they'd both basically declared their undying love for eachother. Not quite...
Still, they were basically going out.
Takao looked up in thought.
"Something wrong, Kinomiya?" Hikaru asked, noticing how confused he looked.
"Not really," Takao shook his head. "I just forgot the point I was trying to make in my thoughts." Max laughed, Hikaru looked at him strangly, Kai stayed silent and Kyouju chuckled lightly.
"You make no sense." Rei stated, shaking his head and letting out a short sigh.
Once Takao had finished eating they headed back to the living room, where Hikaru had--out of sheer boredom, seeing as how watching Takao eat wasn't especially fun-- had organized all the presents.
What they got wasn't especially important, to the author, hopefully the reader, and not to the group. Actually, it was important to the group, but that's beside the point. (The author is just lazy)
Cleaning up, Kyouju gathered some now-empty boxes and stacked them ontop of the ones in Max's arms. "Thanks, Kyouju."
"Oooh, can we put the wrapping paper in the fireplace?" Hikaru asked excitedly, holding some green wrapping paper in her arms and waving a small peice infront of Rei.
Takao raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
"Because! If you put wrapping paper, the green kind, in the fireplace it makes it green for few seconds and it looks cool!"
Rei nodded. "Never seen that happen, so, sure." He grinned. "I want to watch and see if it happens."
Within seconds the entire group was crowded infront of the fireplace, Hikaru in the very front, though standing to the side. Kyouju was in the front, next to Max, and Takao was to the side, Rei kneeling behind Max with a hand on said blonde's shoulder, whereas Kai was simply standing a small distance behind everyone.
Hikaru moved a little more to the side and tossed the paper in.
For breif seconds, the usually blue flame begginings turned a bright green, less the neon, but still obvious. The wrapping paper slowly turned glowing orange, then quickly that came to be black, and the black crumbled into new ashes, all behind a foggy green sheild.
It ended quickly, the flame had returned back to blue and the wrapping paper had gone.
Takao blinked. "Was that it?"
Max lightly hit him over the head and Hikaru glared at him darkly before throwing a small ball of wrapping paper at him.
"Well," Rei said. "I, for one, thought it was cool." He smiled at Hikaru, but it went unnoticed as she continued to glare at Takao. Rei shrugged and went back to cleaning.
