Closed to Gwen's close CR

CHARACTERS: Gwen and friends
LOCATION: The music room
DATE: 12/21
CONTENT: Gwen's surprise birthday!
WARNINGS: None atm

[It isn’t difficult to get Gwen to accompany him to the music room. He’d mentioned forgetting his flute there and she’d already been walking through the mess hall (a good sign!) when he asked her to accompany him. Along the way he chatters endlessly about nothing important, doing his best to keep her thoughts occupied until they arrive.

When Wei Wuxian opens the door and allows her to proceed in front of him, many things happen at once. A song begins to play from somewhere in the room. (Later, Gwen can connect her own phone as a music player if she’d like, but for the moment Wei Wuxian has created his music recording arrays around the room and set them to play various songs when activated. Huaisang can be thanked for the timely start of "22" as she walked in.

A small handful of her closest friends on the Ximilia also greet her with varying levels of enthusiasm. There is a beautifully decorated cake set up on a table and tasteful elegant decorations line the walls and ceiling (thanks Huaisang.) Wei Wuxian's butterfly arrays are also flying around, shimmering gold and silver. Familiar faces greet her from the room. Mccoy smiling warmly, Huaisang dressed to the nines, Itachi leaning against a wall, nodding at her when she catches his eyes, Degar too and a handful of others.

It’s an intimate gathering, but one obviously put together with affection and care.

At her side, Wei Wuxian nudges her and adds to the chorus of "Happy birthdays" coming from the room.

gwen laughs.No. Really? 〈 she looks for itachi in the small crowd, finding him quickly and grinning his way.

when she faces mccoy again, it is with all the glee of a best friend about to put her dear, beloved, bestest pal on full blast.


Oh, man, did I ever tell you about the horrifying hyper-realistic onigiri he made one day?

( he's thoroughly not sorry for ratting him out like that, okay, but more importantly )

What constitutes 'hyper-realistic'? ( his brows do that little worried-and-concerned tweak up ) Do I even want to know?
construing: (fuck yeah.)

[personal profile] construing 2022-12-24 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
yes. yes, he does. and considering how fast gwen whips out her phone, he is about to see for himself.

Context: I asked for cat-shaped onigiri. I expected, you know. Little ball of rice face. Ears. Cutesy eyes and nose.

I got…〈 mad scrolling through her photo album culminates in—this.

( McCoy leans over her shoulder to have a look, pausing between cutting slices of cake. )

Aww, it's a calico. ( but, alright, wait, he shakes his head, ) I don't know if it's 'horrifying', but I don't think I could eat it, either.
construing: (plot.)

[personal profile] construing 2022-12-24 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
It was terrifying, and I love it.

she scrolls through a couple more pictures before pocketing her phone.

I did eat it. 〈 she nods sagely. 〉 It was really good.

You're so spoiled.

( it's brimming with the sort of cheery indulgence that says he knows perfectly well he's had a hand in said spoiling, that there's sure to be more on the horizon, and he does not give two shits.

abruptly though, he looks mildly stricken. )


We didn't do candles.
construing: (days.)

[personal profile] construing 2022-12-25 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
she wrinkles her nose playfully at him. (self-aware only child says yes. yes, she is. 😌)

the observation has her look back at the cake, though she noticed the missing candles a while ago. she imagined it might be deliberate. that they were forgotten is actually kind of cute.


They're not needed, 〈 she reassures him with a little laugh. 〉 Saves me panicking on a wish.

she wraps an arm around mccoy's waist in a half-hug. 〉 I love it as is, thank you.
homeostatic: AH (pic#15515125)

( mollified, he gives gwen a little grin of relief, with a squeeze around her shoulders. )

Alright then. You're welcome.

( he drops a kiss on the crown of her head. )

Now go tend to your guests, I've got cake to slice. Haven't even tried it yet-
construing: (smile.)

laughing, she gives mccoy a cheeky little salute before all but dancing away.

time to go be an adorable pain at itachi. 😌
