[Excuse you, it was only two cakes.

At least he has a backpack with him, and Killua sure makes a show of trying to stuff everything inside. Once it's zipped and filled to bursting, they're on their way to Ritsu's place.]

Hey, how old are you?

[moresuffering]

I'm thirteen. Fourteen next July.

[killectric]

Hey, me too! [He grins, flashing pearly white canines.] My birthday's on Tanabata, what about you?

[moresuffering]

Mine's before that, on the 2nd. I'm only a few days older than you, huh?

[killectric]

[He clenches his fist at this revelation.]

That's double the birthday cake in a week!

[moresuffering]

Yeah, maybe. My mom makes good chocolate cakes.

[killectric]

Chocolate cake is my favourite.

[He's making the :3 face at him.]

[moresuffering]

It's mine, too. You just like chocolate, huh?

[killectric]

Nyah. [Cat noises too...] What was your first clue, stupid?

[moresuffering]

I like chocolate and other flavors, so I wasn't making assumptions. Idiot.

[There's no real vitriol, though.]

[killectric]

Moron. [They can do this all day.]

Let me try some of that fruit candy you got.

[moresuffering]

Yeah, the second box is for you, numbskull.

[killectric]

Huh?

[Killua actually stops to look a little flustered.]

Stupid, you didn't really have to buy me anything...

[moresuffering]

You bought it, I just picked it out for you.

[killectric]

Huh.

[moresuffering]

I shoved them both on the counter when you were buying stuff. You didn't notice?

[killectric]

No...

[He's been tricked into buying his own gift. Cruel.]

[moresuffering]

[Be careful! Ritsu isn't actually an idiot. He stops in front of a humble looking house, opening the front door.] I'm home! I brought someone. [His mother calls back from the kitchen, she just needs a minute. Ritsu just kicks off his shoes and tucks them in the corner.]

[killectric]

[When they get to Ritsu' house, Killua hangs back hesitantly in the doorway as he removes his shoes and places them neatly by the front step.]

Ah... [He pulls his bag off and brings it around to his front.]

[moresuffering]

...What are you waiting for? Get in here. [Ritsu's mom peeks around the corner, giving the guest a friendly smile and welcoming him in as well. "Ritsu, who's this?"] Mom, I followed the string and found my soulmate today. ["Oh, Ritsu!" she cooed excitedly, smile growing more genuine. "Introduce me!"] Right. He's, uh... [...] Hey, what's your name again?

[killectric]

[Killua meekly makes his way inside, mostly trying to avoid eye contact with Ritsu's mom. Luckily, Ritsu asking a stupid question breaks him right out of his shell.]

You forgot already?!

[moresuffering]

[If it helps, Ritsu's getting scolded from his mom while there's a distant laugh in the living room from a man that's probably Ritsu's father.] So what!

[killectric]

It's Killua... [He mumbles, cheeks red with embarrassment.]

[moresuffering]

[Ritsu shrugs!! But his mother is more friendly, at least. "It's nice to meet you, Killua, dear. Will you stay for dinner?"]

[killectric]

Yeah... If it's okay.

[For someone who was bragging about playing the sympathy card earlier, he sure was being polite.]
