:thanks to seigi-san…I've remembered to write a drabble dedicated to Mu La Flaga on his special day…I've decided to make it be set after Destiny…just for a change…besides…it will make more sense…so here it is for Mu on his grand day on November 29th…lets get this shit started:
:Birthday:
Murrue Ramius was standing next to Miriallia Haww in her kitchen preparing a birthday cake for none other than Mu La Flaga. She was just finishing putting on the 31st candle in the top around the "Happy Birthday Mu." It was an angel food cake, his favorite. Miriallia was finishing up with the kabobs. They were definitely not a delicacy in the Nation Orb, but everyone around loved them, so they made sure to have them.
Everyone was there. Murrue, naturally, Milly, Kira, Athrun, Cagalli, Dearka, who was dragged there by Milly, Yzak, who was dragged there by Dearka, Shiho, who was of course brought there by Yzak, but they were all happy to be there. The there was Neumann, Waltfelt, Lacus, hell, even Murdoch was there. It was almost too much for Murrue's little house to handle.
Mu had been out, Murrue sent him off with her car keys and a credit card and told him to go downtown to the mall for a while, buy himself something nice for his birthday. That was 3 hours ago. She didn't even know a guy could shop that long, and she knew for a fact that he wouldn't spend her money on anything, so she wondered what he did with himself this whole time. She had sent him off at around 4:00 that afternoon, and it was nearing 7:00 and the sun was starting to fade outside in the Orbs strangely warm atmosphere that gave it the illusion of being summer. She wondered when he would pop up and surprise them instead of them surprising him. She got her answer when she set down the cake on the table and immediately after, Athrun came bolting into the kitchen frantically screaming his head off.
"He's here!"
"Quick, everyone hide!" Murrue yelled out to the room as she flipped all the lights out, the setting sun their only light.
Everyone took a hiding spot behind a couch, behind a door, under a chair or table, whatever they could find in such a short notice. Yzak, Shiho, and Dearka ran into the downstairs bathroom connected to eh main room where everyone was. They left a crack in the door to look out, ready to book out any second. Athrun, Kira, Cagalli, and Lacus all bolted behind the couch. Neumann, Murdoch, and Waltfelt hid behind the bar table, while Murrue and Milly bolted underneath the coffee table laughing their heads off all the while trying frantically to quiet each other. Everyone was ready to jump out.
Mu walked through the door and flipped on the lights and all at once everyone popped out of their hiding places and yelled "SURPRISE!" as loud as they possibly could. Mu, of course, wasn't expecting this one, not by a long shot.
"GAH!" Mu jumped back into the door, car keys flying out of his hand.
"Wh-where did you guys come from?" Mu stuttered as he looked around until his eyes eventually landed on Murrue.
"You were the one behind this, weren't you?" He eyed her devishly.
"Good guess Sherlock," Dearka spat out as everyone laughed.
"You just wait until your birthday kid, " Mu smiled as he made his way across the room to Murrue.
"As much as this scared the hell outta me, you really outdid yourself, sneaky, ya' know that?" Mu smiled as he kissed her gently on the lips.
Murrue gave him a cute smile in return. Mu looked down at her once more into her eyes. "Thank You,"
The party went on as everyone mowed through the food and Waltfelt and Cagalli had a familiar Argument.
"That's not yogurt sauce you're putting on you kabob, right, Waltfelt?" Cagalli eyed Andy suspiciously.
"Of course not, and I know that you aren't sinking low enough to put that chili sauce on your kabob, right, Cagalli?" The two of them laughed at the old memory, relieved that they had the chance to re-live it.
It then came time for Mu to officially turn a year older. The cake. All 31 candles were lit and everyone prepared to sing.
"Everyone, get out your earplugs," Athrun called out.
"You ready to turn another year, old man?" Dearka laughed out loud at his own comment, along with everyone else in the room.
"Hey, watch it kid, I could kick your ass any day!" Mu yelled out as he put Dearka in a head lock with a smile. Now the tables turned and everyone was laughing at Dearka.
"Hey, everyone shut up and let's do this!" Cagalli exclaimed excitedly, losing patience fast.
Everyone then stopped laughing and began to sing as a group for the first, and hopefully the last time.
"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR, MU, Happy Birthday to you!" Everyone bursted into fits of laughter when they all tried to hit the high octave in the middle of the song. Even Lacus purposely sucked just to get a good laugh out of it.
The party went on well into the night. It went on until it left an exhausted Mu and Murrue alone on the couch after the company had gone. They hadn't seen much of each other since Mu had been conversing amongst the people there, and Murrue was just as caught up in attention as he.
Murrue reached up and ran a hand through his short blonde locks. She had made him cut his air off once the war was over, so that it was back to the way it was before. He had no objections to it. He was glad to rid himself of the golden mess.
"So, how was your birthday?" Murrue asked him, tired tawny eyes shifting their gentle gaze up to his handsome facial features.
"Perfect," He smiled down at her, soft blue eyes clashing against her brown, she smiled back, making his heart melt.
"But you know what the best part was?" He asked her as she snuggled closer to him.
"Hmm?" She asked lazily as her eyelids fell.
"You," He chuckled as her eyes shot open in surprise. He then leaned down to press his lips to hers, molding them together. They broke apart a few seconds later for air. Murrue then found her voice.
"Happy Birthday, Mu,"
They both shifted for a comfortable place on the couch, her laying on the inside head propped up his chest.
"Thank you," He whispered into her ear.
They then snuggled up close and fell asleep next to each other on the couch, Murrue out before him, but before he slipped into sleep grasp, he muttered 3 last words to her.
"I love you,"
I know, I'm outside of your window with my radio
