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.]

[moresuffering]

["Of course, dear. It won't be long, go ahead and settle down. Ritsu! Set the table."]

Alright.

[Mom's a bit snippy, but just because Ritsu had been rude and forgotten his soul mate's name. He can take it and set the table, he does anyway.]

[killectric]

[With a small nod, Killua walks over to take a seat at the table. He sets his bag down at his feet, tucking it under the chair, and then waits for Ritsu to finish.

...He hopes his Mom doesn't talk to him more.]
