SHIVA
Some of his favourite things to do in the Sanctuary was to do absolute nothing. Clearly it was something hard to do; being the student of Virgo Shaka and a Silver Saint, Peacock Shiva was always around doing things for either his master or her friend Saori, the one everyone called and trait like a Goddess. So this time she could enjoy a cold and delicious mango popsicle, perfect for a warm weather like that day. Shiva was lying in the floor seeing the old painting from the entrance of the Virgo Temple. Well, at least the ones that survived after the attacks from Phoenix Ikki and one more in the Hades War. The Silver Saint knew that those Buddhist paintings were over some old Greek ones and he could remember when almost all the Sanctuary was in shock when Shaka decided to remove them. She didn't mind, she preferred to see those mandalas, lotus flowers, some cute peacocks and other symbols here and there than the paintings that uncle Mu had in the same place in his temple. It was one of the things she liked to do; spend hours there and see new details or thinking how to make a better mandala. She was in those thought without worrying if someone could pass and see her in such way. After all Shiva was wearing an orange 1/4 sleeve shirt and a black skirt, she didn't mind if someone going outside the temple could see her purple underwear.
But then she heard some steps coming from the stairs. She was in the back of a column, to cover his body from the sun, so those two Gold Saints or anyone who was passing by from the stairs couldn't see her till be really close. The Peacock Saints began to feel the cosmos so she didn't mind at all to turn and say hello, instead she waited patiently to see two tall men almost over her.
"Here you are." the Cancer Saint smiled to then look around and don't wait to almost fall over her. Only his hands stopped the fall. "We were looking for you."
Shiva just smiled when the Capricorn Saint pushed his friend with the feet. He, instead of attacking her personal space, decided to sit in the floor and then lie at her side.
"Happy Birthday, cariño."
"Tha- no... gracias." Shiva smiled to then give him a kiss.
"What?" Deathmask realized his mistake once again. Since the morning when those two came back from the mission, Shura told him over and over about the day before. "Oh... Happy Birthday, ragazza."
"You forgot it, right?" Shiva asked to turn and see him. "I bet you was busy yesterday, Shura did sent me a message even with cosmos."
Once again Deathmask didn't mind her space and hugged and kissed her.
"I'm sorry, really. But hey... we bought you gifts." and then he really forgot some rules and his hand moved inside the skirt. "And maybe later we can give you a last nice gift."
"No." Shiva pushed his hand to then sit down. "I'm not in the mood."
Both Golden Saints decided to sit as well and see her eating that popsicle. She was really enjoying it so wasn't paying attention to the guys; how Shura was seeing her in a soft way almost as if he was looking something in her face while Deathmask was seeing her very directly and showing a weird smirk that anyone could see as a menace. Then both of them, without planning, kissed her cheeks in the same time. Shiva just smiled and blushed, she really liked that relationship with them. Shura and Deathmask stood up and help her as well to stand up.
"Are you busy?" Deathmask asked.
"No, not really."
"Well, then you come with us." Shura smiled. "Your birthday was yesterday and we weren't in the party."
"I didn't do a party, remember Agora is in India. I don't have so many friends to do a big party and you were in a mission, anyway..." she explained as they began to talk and Deathmask took the popsicle to suck a bit of it. "Dad would be asking too much questions in why I invited two golden saints."
"I respect master Shaka indeed, we couldn't do that."
"I don't." the cancer Saint said. "I mean yeah, but let's say our relationship isn't so nice. The only thing I like about him is that he buys you those nice skirts."
The Peacock Saint laughed a bit to keep with his popsicle, this time Shura was the one who take a bit of it. And he could see that Shiva was barefoot walking around the house. He wanted to ask but Shiva just explained that didn't know what to use and to solve the problem she didn't use anything at all. It was easy like that in her mind. That's why Deathmask didn't mind in place her over the back. Plus, he was a bit guilty for forger the last day.
Anyone could see Shiva wasn't that heavy, but after passing four temples to the Capricorn one, the gravity was doing its job over Deathmask back.
"Hey, Shiva!" Deathmask sighed seeing another man coming close.
"Hello, Aiolos, cutie pie."
The Cancer Saint for a minute thought that he would help Shiva to go down his back, but it was totally the contrary. Even Shura giggled a bit as he moved inside the temple while those two were saying hello.
"Happy Birthday, by the way. Sorry for not passing by yesterday, I was a bit busy with my brother and Shion."
"Don't worry, I received your flowers... but..."
"You gave her flowers? You are indeed stupid or naive."
Another voice could be heard, this time Deathmask knew his pain wasn't going at all.
"Aphrodite, don't call Aiolos like that." Shura yelled from inside of the rooms.
"Why not?!" he yelled as well. "All in this room knows Shiva is allergic to the flowers."
"I always forgot, sorry." Aiolos said a bit ashamed.
"Don't worry. Saori gave me an idea, maybe I can dry them and put them over two glasses." Shiva smiled. "I can make a mandala with it! A beautiful cute mandala like you, Aiolos."
"Oh..." Deathmask couldn't more as he moaned and bow a bit more.
"Ready!" Shura yelled so Aphrodite asked them to come to one of the rooms of the temple.
The Cancer Saint turned a bit and saw how Shiva didn't have any plan in jump from his back, but she just giggled and passed the cold stick from the in-existent popsicle over Deathmask's neck.
"You are so strong, handsome." she said to then hug and kiss his neck and cheek. "Can you hold my body a bit longer?"
Of course, thanks to this, Deathmask was straight again and began to walk with a smile like if that instant Shiva wasn't heavy at all.
The room was totally decorated with balloons, confetti and the music was playing in the background. Shiva didn't wait to jump from the back of the Golden Saint to see around. Aphrodite could see she was barefoot and saw her as a crazy person, and how not to, after all Shiva was almost dancing as she was discovering a little table full of fruit, cupcakes, some Indian desserts, as well soft drinks, milk, ice tea and some alcohol drinks.
"Do you like?" Aphrodite came close. "By the way, happy birthday, girl."
"Thank you!" she said to turn and open her arms but then herself stopped the Pisces Saint. "Did you wash yourself? Last time I hugged you, I was all itchy."
"Of course I did!" he looked a bit bother. "Deathmask and Shura told me all day don't come close to my flowers because you."
Shiva then smiled to hug him and stay there in his shoulder. The Pisces Saint was getting used to the signs of affection Shiva could show over him, but as well felt a bit awkward when Shiva began to pass her hands over his hair and moaned. Even the other two from the trio saw each other to try to understand what was happening.
"You smell so good; I like your hair."
"Shiva? This is getting very weird." Aphrodite said as he tried to move but Shiva was still hugging. He then sighed as he gets Shiva was just kidding... kind of. "I will share my shampoo with you, but please..."
The Silver Saint moved from there to show her happy face, take a cupcake and then offer it to Aphrodite. That one had a rose made on fondant over all the frost so Aphrodite smiled and received it without problem.
"Oh, there is one with a little shoe on it, and look! that one is so cute!" she said to hold another of the cupcakes. "It has crown! Where did you bought them, guys?"
"We didn't buy them." Shura said as he was taking some glasses to give wine to the Pisces Saint and himself.
Then Aiolos came close and he didn't look ashamed but instead very happy and excited. He smiled once again, a very big and warm smile that everyone knew from him and remind them how friendly he was with everyone.
"I baked them." he said in a soft way. "Aldebaran told me how and then... I decorated them." the Sagittarius Saint was acting so proud so quickly held some of them. "Look, I did this one with a tiny crab for Deathmask."
"Excuse me." he quickly came close to hold Shiva's hips and the cupcake with the other hand. "Delicious."
He gave a kiss to Shiva and moved to pour some milk in a glass. Shura came close as well to see the cupcake Aiolos was showing off had some horns on it as if it was a goat. The Peacock Saint was looking with a lot of attention to Aiolos who was excited to show his food.
"All the others have different things, the one with the crown is for you, Shiva. I even did one for myself, you can see it was a wing and an arrow. Maybe it doesn't look like an arrow but looks good. Oh, I think I did some with flowers on it but I just forgot you don't like them."
"I like them." Shiva couldn't remove his eyes from Aiolos.
"Oh good, good, that's better." but then he, and the others, could heard something. "Shiva?" She was hiding her eyes under her arm but couldn't hide some sobs. "Did I say something bad?" Aiolos quickly hold her shoulders as she answered no moving his head.
"Cariño, is everything ok?" Shura came close to see and as well being followed by Deathmask.
Shiva didn't do anything to calm, but wasn't crying more. The guys saw each other and couldn't understand what to do or why she was like that, not till Aphrodite gave his glass of wine to Aiolos and moved to hug Shiva.
"Hey, hey, don't cry. It is your birthday. Well, it was yesterday but still."
"It is just... Aiolos was so excited, he acted a bit like Agora." Shiva showed her face so Shura could clean her tears. "Sorry, guys, I was a bit sad yesterday."
"Sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry." Aiolos came close to give her the cupcake with a crown.
Shiva chuckled and held it to explain it wasn't his fault at all but Deathmask, with the mouth full of the cupcake, was seeing him in a very serious way.
"Yoou maid the daydy clay."
"What?" Shura asked.
Deathmask turned with the same serious face to see him, so now Aphrodite and Shiva could see his cheeks full of food. They laughed a bit, even Aiolos, but the Cancer Saint was still serious.
"Ade yoou delt?" he then swallowed some of the food and drank the milk to leave himself a white moustache. "She made cry to our lady."
"Oh, well, you should begin to talk as a civilized human being, you know?" Shura said to then almost bit his cupcake, but his friend was fast enough to make the frost hit his nose. "Hey!"
By then, Aphrodite and Shiva gave a step backward when Shura took another cupcake to make it smash on Deathmask's face. He removed the frost from his cheek and throw it to Shura. In less than a minute, those two were trying too full the other one with the frost. Of course, Aiolos took quickly all the cupcakes so not all of the finished in a mess over the Gold Saints faces.
"Stop, you savage." Aphrodite said pushing them a bit.
At that moment, Shiva was laughing a lot. She even didn't wait to then run to be in the middle of those two and stop them both with a kiss.
"You are so weird." Aiolos said softly.
"Oh, and you don't know all the details." the Pisces saint smiled to hold his glass of wine. "Anyway, now you two should go and clean your faces before begin with the movie.
"Movie?" Shiva asked cleaning her last tears. "Which movie?"
"Any you want, darling." Deathmask hold her close.
"Maybe then I should bring the ice cream?" Shura did the same so for an instant Shiva had both hands on his hips.
"Yes! I hope is..."
"Strawberry with vanilla." Aiolos smiled to take his cupcake and move to the sofa. "Let's begin, which movie will be?"
"Any movie I want?" Shiva chuckled seeing Aphrodite, who was already suffering thinking why she was doing that. "I will make you see a Bollywood movie from the beginning to the end."
"Thanks Athena here is enough food..."
After some hours passed, the five of them were over the big sofa, exactly to let them have enough space to enjoy without problems. Shiva was exactly in the middle eating a big bowl of ice cream and a cupcake that were over her lap while a glass of milk was in a table in front of them; at her side was Shura and Deathmask, who was almost falling sleep if it wasn't because Aphrodite was at his side and was too excited with the movie to push and even pinch him, he was almost as excited as Aiolos who was in the other side.
"That's such a sad love story." The Sagittarius saint said as the movie was almost in the end.
"Are you crying?" The Italian asked to the Pisces Saint who took a tissue from his clothes.
"Now I understand why Shiva wanted me to see this move... what's the name again?"
"Devdas." Shura answered to then receive some ice cream from Shiva. "I had already see it like two or three times."
"Had you?" Deathmask asked.
"You always fall asleep when Shiva wants to see it."
"He always falls asleep when Shiva wants." Aphrodite was still crying but giggling saying that just to bother his friend.
"Wait what?" he asked. "What do you mean?"
"It was so easy to make a deal with the two girls." Shiva said to then sit straight. "Well, no, it wasn't. I always forget people thinks we are crazy." she then smiled when the movie finished. "So where are my gifts?"
Aiolos and Aphrodite were trying to calm down after the movie while Deathmask finished a glass of wine. Shura, who was now immune from Bollywood movies and such a gentleman, just hugged her to kiss her cheek.
"Close your eyes and wait a bit. Aiolos, where did you left the gifts?"
Shiva then did what he told and wait some minutes. She could hear they were moving from here and there to then finish again in the same spot over the sofa. She didn't open the eyes yet when Deathmask and Shura kissed her again and then asked her to open the.
"Happy birthday!" the four of them said with a gift each one in his hand.
He couldn't hide it, Shiva was with big eyes and feeling so happy right now. Of course, she would totally love to be with his brother and father all together in a party but, as Agora said, they could enjoy with their beloved ones to then have a big party with master Shaka. She remembered in that instant, especially because never in her life could imagine being with four golden Saints in a little party as this one.
"I want to open them!" Shiva then turned to see the one of Aiolos. "I can't open that one, right?"
"No..." Aiolos laughed but give it to her anyway. It was a big balloon with a lot of confetti and a small and cute bird plushie inside. Shiva moved it to see it closer, it was green and blue. "I saw it and reminds me a peacock, that's why. You need to wait till the balloon has no more air."
Shiva thanked like a little kid to then receive a gift from Aphrodite. She opened her eyes seeing the box with make up.
"But, I can't use so much of these. My skin is sensible."
"Don't worry, those are natural and doesn't hurt you at all." Aphrodite smiled pointing her lips. "It is the brand I use. Those are expensive and hard to get here so please take care of them."
The girl promised to be careful and was totally excited thinking she wanted to use them right away, especially because the Pisces Saint had a good eye on those things and already choose some pretty colours for her lips. Then Deathmask almost pushed Shura to give the gift, but Shura was closer and didn't care in give a kick.
Shiva laughed and opened the box just to find a perfect gift for that moment.
"Shoes..." she smiled to pull them out. They didn't have a big heel but was a silver one that give lot of light to the black. "Oh! I think they match my skirt."
The Capricorn Saints hold them to help but even he was a bit in shock seeing Shiva cleaning his feet with the sofa. He sighed and didn't mind to place the shoes and see they fit perfectly.
"How did you know?" Aiolos asked being close to see the shoes.
"She always left shoes in my temple."
"Hey, hey, it is my turn now!" Deathmask now pushed Shura and placed the box that was inside a bag on Shiva's lap.
She smiled to open it, to then yell and almost throw it to his face.
"How disgusting!" she said shivering.
"Really? You can't be nice to your own girlfriend?!" Aphrodite then saw that Deathmask was in the same impressed face.
He moved quickly to hold the bag and see what was inside.
"What are you doing there, friend?" he pulled out a box from the bag and then... a little kitty.
"I hate cats, they are disgusting!" Shiva said holding her legs. "Wait... isn't it yours, Shura?"
"No, it is a cat that had being around."
The Peacock Saints smiled holding the box and seeing how Deathmask began to play with it. She hated those animals, for sure, but then her mind had a nice idea.
"Hunny, could you take care of him?"
"Why? I have enough with Cancer and Nosferatu." Deathmask asked to then give the cat to Aiolos.
"And you?" she asked once again seeing the Sagittarius Saint.
"Why do you want him? Are you going to kill him?" Aiolos held the kitty a bit worried.
"Of course not. He will be saved. Just take care of him and I will come for that disgusting thing later. Anyway, I want my last gift!" she quickly removed the wrap while Deathmask was placing his elbows over her lap. She lifted a bit the cover to then close it again and blush. "I can't show my gift..."
"Yes you can, at least the little ones."
"Well yes."
"What it is?" Aphrodite came close to try to see when she opened the cover, but couldn't see anything. "Hey, that's not fair."
"Why not?" Shura and Aiolos asked almost in the same time.
"Shura, you will see it later." Shiva kept the blush and rolled her eyes. "Maybe tomorrow at night."
"Oh..." this time Shura and Aphrodite said it in the same time.
"It is a pyjama?" Aiolos asked still playing with the kitty.
"Yes, with lot of holes." The Pisces Saint laughed seeing that Aiolos kept an innocent look.
But Shiva showed then some nice earrings that were black skulls and a bracelet with another silver skull that had the mouth open and a pretty jewel inside. She smiled and used them to then stand up.
"They fit your shoes as well." Aiolos smiled. "Did you both bought it together?"
"No, stronzo di merda."
"Coño, no... estúpido, Deathmask."
"I understand all that." Shiva smiled. "Don't worry guys, it was just amazing. Now I can wear all this, use Aphrodite's make up and... hug Aiolos's plushie when I feel alone."
"Or use my gift when you feel alone with us." Deathmask smiled to come close and hug her.
In that moment, Shura didn't want to be behind and hugged her as well.
"You are such corny people."
Aphrodite laughed to hug them, mostly just to bit Deathmask or pinch him, because he even yelled in pain. With such signs of affect, Aiolos couldn't say no and jump to do the same.
The Peacock Saint smiled and for a minute she understood what her brother said. Even if she wasn't with them, Shiva could still feel happy around other who loved her in a way or another. She spent time with Shaina and Saori, now she was with those two lovers and the other two friends that now didn't mind in see Shiva as part of their friends as well. Indeed, it was very nice to feel that.
"Aiolos? The cat is touching me!"
"Sorry!"
Well, not that...
