Yusuke-clone: -grumbles- I wanted to say it.
YYF14: Shut up. Now people, go ahead and read.

Dance Party:)
"Yusuke? Are you okay?"
Yusuke nodded, giving Koenma a one-armed hug.
"What did he say?"
"He said that if I promised not to- not to…"
"Not to like me?"
"Yeah, if I promised that, he'd forgive me… he hates that I like a boy, especially you. He used the Mafuuken on me…"
Yusuke's eyes widened. "He did? Are you okay?"
Koenma nodded. "It wasn't that strong."
Yusuke sighed. "Sorry I've got you into this mess."
Koenma shook his head. "No, Yusuke, it's not your fault, and at this point, I don't care. I want to have a real birthday. Can you show me how?"
Yusuke smiled. "It'll be a little hard, seeing as it's Christmas Eve, but I'll see what I can do. You wanna celebrate it with the rest of the guys?"
Koenma nodded. "I heard that's what humans do."
Yusuke grinned. "Great! Let's call them! …On second thought, let's just go there. I'm thinking that a phone call from Reikai would be expensive."
As they were walking down the hall, Botan came up to them.
"Koenma, I heard your father yelling. Was he very angry?" she asked softly.
Koenma nodded sadly. Botan sighed, then brightened.
"I'm actually happy for you!" she said brightly. "You have someone you love. I think that's all that matters."
Yusuke smiled. "Hey, Botan? We were going to the Ningenkai for K-chan's birthday, and I wanted to know if you wanted to come with us."
Botan blinked. "His… birthday? Oh… oh! I remember now! Of course! I'm very sorry, Koenma sir, but you father insisted…"
She stopped at the sad look on Koenma's face.
"Sorry," she said softly. Koenma shrugged.
"It's okay. Let's just go."
The three of them went to Kuwabara's house, telling him that they would explain when the others arrived.
Hiei and Kurama soon came, Hiei wearing a ningen shirt and jeans instead of his usual black cloak.
"So, why are we here?" Hiei asked, once they were all sitting down in Kuwabara's bedroom.
Yusuke looked over at Koenma, who didn't seem like he was going to say anything. He looked back at Hiei.
"It's his birthday, and I wanted him to have a real one this year. He hasn't had one for a long time, and never a real one."
Kurama frowned. "That's not fair."
Kuwabara nodded. "Must be boring, not having a birthday."
Koenma shrugged. "I dunno…I just wanted to know what a real one felt like."
Kuwabara turned to Yusuke. "Well, Urameshi? Do you know what we're going to do?"
Yusuke shrugged. "Dunno, I was thinking we could play some music and eat junk. That's what we did for my birthday. Remember, Kuwa?"
Kuwabara grinned. "Yeah, we stayed up till one in the morning."
Hiei rolled his eyes. "Why don't you ask the toddler what he wants?"
Koenma shook his head. "Thank you, Hiei, but I honestly have no clue how to celebrate a birthday, so I'll just Yusuke and Kuwabara do it."
Yusuke grinned.
"Kuwa? You get the food, I'll get the music."
About half an hour later, there were a few bowls of candy and pretzels on Kuwa's bed, and Yusuke was putting in a Simple Plan CD. The first song that came on was Shut Up. It caught Koenma's attention almost immediately.
There you go
You're always so right
It's all a big show
It's all about you
You think you know
What everyone needs
You always take time to criticize me
Koenma's eyes widened as the song reminding him more and more of reality.
It seems like everyday
I make mistakes
I just can't get it right
It's like I'm the one
You love to hate
But not to-day
So, shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get up, get up, get out,
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up,
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
There you go
You never ask why
It's all a big lie
Whatever you do
You think you're special
But I know, and I know,
And I know, and we know
That you're not
You're always there to point-
Out my mistakes-
And shove them in my face-
It's like I'm the one-
You love to hate-
But not to-day
Yusuke blinked. Kuwabara was just stuffing his face, humming to the music, and Hiei and Kurama were in the corner, listening to the music and talking. But Koenma seemed transfixed by the music. Yusuke listened, trying to find why.
So, shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get up, get up, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
-shut up, shut up, shut up-
Is gonna bring me down
-shut up, shut up, shut up-
Will never bring me down…
Don't tell me who I should be,
And don't try to tell me what's right, for me
Don't tell me what I should do
I don't wanna waste my time,
I'll watch you fade away
So, shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get up, get up, get out,
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get up, get up, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring- me- down…Bring me down
-shut up, shut up, shut up-
Won't bring me down…
-shut up, shut up, shut up-
Won't bring me down…
Shut up, shut up, shut up!
As the song ended, Koenma blinked and looked at Yusuke.
"Was that on purpose?" he asked softly.
Yusuke shook his head. "No, I just realized it a minute in. I'm sorry."
Hiei raised an eyebrow. "Sorry for what, Detective?"
"Nothing, just the song. Here, K-chan. I think you'll like this one."
Yusuke skipped a few songs, landing on Everytime.
It was three A.M. when you woke me up
And we jumped in the car and drove as far as we could go
Just to get away
We talked about our lives
Until the sun came up
And now I'm thinking about
How I wish I could go back
Just for one more day
One more day with you.
Everytime I see your face
Everytime you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right
Ever since you walked away
You left my life in disarray
All I want is one more day
All I need - is one more day with you.
Koenma looked at Yusuke a smile slowly growing on his face.
"This one's on purpose," Yusuke said softly.
When the car broke down
We just kept walkin' along
Till we hit this town
There was nothing there at all
But that was all okay
We spent- all our money on stupid things
But if I looked- back- now-, I'd probably give it all away
Just for one more day
One more day with you.
Everytime I see your face
Everytime you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right
Ever since you walked away
You left my life in disarray
All I want is one more day
All I need- is one more day with you.
Koenma stood, walking over to Yusuke with a happy expression on his face.
Kurama chuckled.
"Kuwabara, you might want to stuff your face some more."
Kuwa blinked. "Why?"
"Because you probably won't like what happens next."
Now I'm sittin here, like we used to do
I think about my life and now there's nothing I won't do
Just for one more day
One more day with you.
Everytime I see your face
Everytime you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right
-everything feels right-
Everytime I hear your name
Everytime I feel the same
-feel the same-
It's like it all falls into place
Everything- Everything feels right
You walked away
Just one more day
It's all I need- one more day with you…
Koenma closed the remaining distance between himself and Yusuke with a deep kiss, his tongue entwining with Yusuke's. Kuwabara wrinkled his nose and quickly averted his gaze, making the two Youkai smirk.
The two pulled away, Yusuke glad to see happiness in Koenma's eyes.
"Yusuke… this is the best birthday I ever had."
Yusuke grinned. "I'm glad to hear it."
