Chapter Fifty-Two: Silas' Birthday

Me: GUESS WHAT TODAY IS, YOU GUYS!

Suoh: *sighs* seeing as you're about to tell us, there's no point in guessing.

Valt: GAH! *scrambling frantically* WAIT, DO I HAVE A MATCH WITH SOMEONE TODAY…? I ALWAYS FORGET—

Shu: No, Valt.

Valt: *sigh of relief*

Honcho: OH, IS IT THANKSGIVING? I could use a meal.

Wakiya: *rolls eyes* You could always use a meal…

Fubuki: Is it someone's birthday?

Me: YOU GOT IT! TODAY IS…

Me: JULY 9TH!

Silas: Wait, that's today?!

Me: YEP.

Silas: *puts hands on face* oh great.

Cuza: *putting the pieces together* Waaait a minute…

Cuza: *brightly* HEY DUDE, IS IT YOUR BIRTHDAY?!

Silas: NO.

Valt: *gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasp* IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY?! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?

Silas: *groans*

Wakiya: *laughs* How old are you? Thirty?

Silas: *glares at Wakiya murderously*

Valt: *starts singing* HAAAAAPY BIIIRRRTHDAYYYY TOOOOOOOOO YOUUUUUUUU!

Silas: VALT. STOP.

Valt: *continues singing obnoxiously at the top of his lungs*

Silas: BOW END THE CHAPTER.

Me: NOPE. *evil cackle*

Me: EVERYONE HAS TO TALK ABOUT THEIR FAVORITE SILAS MEMORIES.

Silas: Oh god.

Wakiya: *seizes moment excitedly* OH, I'M GOING FIRST. REMEMBER THE TIME WHEN HE FAILED MISERABLY IN HIS MATCH AGAINST FREE? THAT. WAS. HILARIOUS.

Free: *shrugs* I'll give you props for the strategy, though.

Silas: *groans*

Cuza: ME NEXT! MY FAVORITE MEMORY'S WHEN SILAS FREAKED AFTER FINDING ME CAMPING OUT ABOVE HIS BED.

Silas: WHAT WERE YOU DOING THERE, ANYWAY?

Cuza: *defensively* I NEEDED A PLACE TO CRASH!

Silas: And you decided the best place to do that was above my bed?

Cuza: *cheeky grin* YOU GOT IT!

Silas: *sigh* Of course.

Free: Speaking of late night abnormalities— Karlisle, over here, used to spy on me.

Silas: *arms crossed* You were overly suspicious.

Free: *completely ignored him* I noticed you on the first night, y'know.

Silas: Why didn't you say anything?

Free: *shrugs* I wanted to see how long you'd keep it up.

Silas: of course.

Me: *suddenly gets sucked into a vortex*

Everyone: *utterly dumbfounded* ?!
