HEY GUYS! THANKS 4 ALL THE REVIEWS! I'M SO HAPPY! YAY!...
…
"SURPRISE!"
Matsumoto pulled a string coming from the ceiling and long, skinny balloons fell on the birthday boy. Everybody then went silent as their smiles dropped off their faces. Something obviously went wrong. Momo eyed the balloons as Toushiro's eyes went wide.
"Uh… thanks… but… are these balloons?"
"They should be… Renji! What did you do? I asked you to put the balloons in…"
Everyone then turned around and threw dagger-like glares at Abarai who was now doubled over laughing. Ichigo walked over to him and dug his elbow into the red-head's back.
"What. Did. You. Do?"
"C… c…"
"Huh?"
"CONDOMS!"
Soon as that word came out of Renji's mouth, everbody quickly avoided the "balloons" as if they were in danger of being bitten by them. Momo quickly stepped back, accidentally stepping one a blown up condom and yelped when it burst under her foot. She fell onto the floor, knocking a table of soft drinks and squeezed her eyes shut as bottles of fizzy drinks drenched her to the skin.
Hinamori slowly opened one eye when she was sure that no more drinks were spilling. Everyone (including Renji) was staring at her now with wide eyes and jaws that were open like trap doors. She couldn't believe it. They were planning this party for a week and it was ruined just as it started!... and now… she smelt… like… soft drinks and was becoming sticky… The girl felt tears start to swell in her eyes. The only thing she could do was just stare back at the people who were staring at her.
"Hey! You okay?" Noticing that the girl was on a brink of tears, Hitsugaya quickly grabbed her hand and helped her up.
"Uh, thanks…"
The moment was then followed by an awkward silence as everyone tried to figure out what to say next. Toushiro did have an idea but…
'I might as well do it…'
Sighing, the white-haired prodigy got the cake from the table and held it in his hands. It was a chocolate mud cake decorated with swirls of white chocolate and crunchy mint chips with "Happy B-Day Iceman!" in blue writing. He could tell that a lot of effort went into it. He already picked it up…so… frankly, there was no going back in this. Hitsugaya held the cake in one hand.
"Oi, Abarai…"
"What?"
SPLAT…
Renji Abarai couldn't do much for the first few seconds as the facts of what'd just happened sunk into him. Okay. So his face was covered in birthday cake. The birthday cake was thrown at him. The throw was done by Toushiro Hitsugaya. What to do now?... Well… maybe… throw some… back at him?
"You asked for this, BIRTHDAY BOY…" The redhead quickly grabbed some of the cake from his shoulders and threw it back at his friend, who quickly dodged. The chocolate mush hit the wall behind him. It stayed there for a few seconds before slowly sliding down to the floor, leaving behind an icing trail.
"Oi! You two!" Rangiku grabbed the two by their collars and yelled in their faces. "You have no idea how long it took me and Momo to make that cake! You'll both clean this up before you clean up yourselves!"
"Ah… sorry…"
"Oh, and Momo! We need to get you washed!"
Hinamori and Matsumoto could hear the boys in the living room watching movies and pizzas.
"Sounds like they're watching Black Sheep… that movie was okay… but weird…" (I RECKON THAT MOVIE'S SO FUNNY! BUT DON'T WATCH IT IF U DUN LIKE GORE OR DARK HUMOUR…) Rangiku stated, her ear pressed against the cold, wooden door as she waited for Momo to get changed into the outfit that they got at the mall. Well… Momo was hesitating A LOT but got it as Rangiku insisted.
Hinamori never really wore this kind of stuff, even before her parents' and Kira's death so it was a little… new to her. She'd worn a dress but not one like this! She was just glad that it wasn't sleazy or too revealing.
Momo smoothed the dress out in a couple of places before looking at herself in the mirror. The girl took a deep breath in before turning around and looking and Rangiku.
"I'm not sure if I can wear this out there!"
"What? Of course you can!"
"But-"
"But what?"
"It's just so-"
"It's just so cute on you!"
"I-"
"Will wear this tonight! Momo, I can bet my college money that you look very cute in the dress. Okay?" Matsumoto got off Hinamori's bed and put her hands on her shoulders and looked into the girl's eyes.
"I'll see how it goes…"
"That's the spirit!"
"Oh my god, that hippy chick's so stupid! Grab the fucking gun!"
Hitsugaya smacked Renji on the back of the head, making him fall off the couch.
"You decided to put condoms on the ceiling. So don't think about screaming in my ear."
"Hey! It's not like they were used!"
"We can't trust you on that."
"What did you say?"
"…"
"Oi! I'm-"
It took a moment for Abarai to realise that Toushiro's attention was completely snatched away from their bickering. The red-head followed his friend's gaze which seemed to be glued to somebody standing at the staircase.
Hitsugaya couldn't believe it. She was standing there… in a dress? She looked so different in a dress. More… well, he couldn't say feminine because she could look feminine dressed like a hobo but more… he couldn't put his finger on it…
The dress was a peach-coloured cocktail dress, which reached just above his housemate's knees. There was a silky, white ribbon tied around her waist into a bow at her back. The girl's hair was in a bun with her bangs cascading the sides of her face, which had a white cloth around it to match her dress. The boy could just make out a small heart-shaped locket hanging around her neck.
The outfit was simple but… cute… she looked more innocent than the girl who'd thrown her converse chucks at him on her first day here. Then again, she did say that it was an accident.
Feeling slightly uncomfortable under Toushiro's stare, Hinamori fidgeted with the end of her dress and slowly went down the stairs. Why did he have to stare at her? Did she look weird in the outfit? Did she look like a slut?
"Whaddya think? She looks so cute!" Rangiku interrupted the silence when she jumped down the staircase and crushed Momo in a hug, twirling her around as she did so.
"Argh! Rangiku! You're making me dizzy!"
"Ah! Sorry!"
Matsumoto stopped spinning Hinamori around like a toy and let her down on her feet. The bun-haired girl found it hard to keep her balance at first but then found support by grabbing the back of the couch. Exhaling a deep breath she'd taken, she looked at Toushiro and asked, "So… where's uncle?"
"No idea but he said that he'd be back by 9."
"Nine?... where the heck? Do you think he's on a date?"
"Dunno but your uncle seriously needs a wife before it's too late…"
"I agree with you on that… So… what's for dinner?"
"Renji ordered pizza… that okay with you?"
"Yea… by the way… is Black Sheep a gore movie?"
"It depends what you mean by-"
Hitsugaya didn't get to finish his sentence as Momo quickly ran towards the kitchen, holding her stomach with one hand and covering her mouth with the other as if she was going to throw up. The boy looked back at the screen to see a lamb chewing a man's head off.
"I'll be back."
With that, Toushiro hurriedly jumped off the couch and ran after his housemate. She was at the sink throwing up. The boy swiftly ran towards her and pulled her bangs out of her face. He then looked away from the sink to avoid vomiting himself.
"You can't stand gore movies?"
Hinamori shook her head as she turned on the tap and washed the gunk down the drain. She realised there was some on her chin and grabbed a piece of napkin from the bench top to wipe it off. She raised it up to her chin and wiped off the remaining vomit.
"You want some water?"
"Yea, that'd nice. Thanks."
"No problem."
The male took a bottle of water out of the fridge and poured some in a glass cup and handed it to Momo. She took the glass from the cup and raised to her lips. She opened her mouth and drank the fluid. The girl then put the cup back in the sink and wiped her mouth again before throwing the napkin in the bin.
"You okay?"
"Yea… so… you didn't spike that drink?"
"Shaddap…"
