We all sat down in our usual seats as the butlers came with the buffet. Since there were so many people, Altan was able to pay some butlers, chefs, maids, etc. when it came out, our rotating dish welcomed the wonderful food beyond us. I licked my lips before handing out plates to those near me. I gave Altan a quick kiss before serving my plate. I loaded it with eggs, bacon, toast, hash browns, and pancakes. I was starving!
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"Happy birthday, Starla. I think my girlfriend should get a happy birthday more personally," Altan said. He had a way of saying things that made me so happy. I kissed his hand with a smile.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"Thank you Ally. I love you so much," I replied with another kiss. Dawn held me closer to her.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"Finally caught up with the rest of us, Starla!" she said with a big smile. I hugged her back. Everyone else served themselves as we all began to eat. I love looking at all my roommates. Dawn and Aurora were tag-teaming on Elrond. Mom and dad were holding hands under the table, likely talking schedule or something. I notice that they rarely talk lovey dovey to each other.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
Estrella and Fengari laughed and kissed once before taking some bacon. Maristela was playing with Izar's hair while rambling about something. Izar was silently listening with swoony eyes.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
Blaze and Harley were also laughing as Blaze made her a flower crown. She hugged his arm while Blaze served their plates. Areg and Alba were serving Artemis's plate as they talked about things to do today. Danica was next to Cham; Cham was looking longingly at Danica as she talked to Zemya.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
Namid was serving himself and looking around at the roommates, waving to me when he saw me. Venera and Tierra were talking softly, Venera serving them two as Tierra served their drinks. Pisces and Aylin were also serving themselves, Aylin pinching Pisces's cheek while cooing.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
Vega and Lyra were talking together as Kosmo was taking notes on his tablet. He loved taking notes there! Vega had a big helping as Kosmo got a plate and put some food on it.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
Steren and Arion were holding hands and smiling at each other as Steren served the two. Asteria was next to Samson as they each sat silently and served themselves. Stellina was next to Hoku with blush across her face as Hoku gave her a plate full of food. Cyrus and Aiday were slightly talking, still stiff around each other as they began to eat. Definitely awkward crushes on each other.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
Helios was serving himself his drink as he thanked the butlers very kindly. Lastly, Mina was watching everyone else like I was. Sometimes this reminds me of a cafeteria; some people talk and others don't talk. Everyone clicked with who they clicked with, and it was wonderful to me. We are at an uneven number right now, just needing a moon snail, star sky isopod, and a sun thorn nerite snail.. Who?
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"Baby? Are you okay?" Altan whispered. I looked up.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"What do you mean, Ally?" I asked in reply.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"You look tense," he said with a soft smile.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"Oh! Sorry. I just love looking at the roommates," I replied. We continued to eat as people talking filled our ears. Altan held my hand with a squeeze before finishing his plate.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
When we all finished our plates, we were so full and barely had leftovers. Enough for a couple meals, but not for a house of 41 people. The butlers put the leftovers in a box to give to people in need of a meal, as everyone surrounded me.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"Well, what would you like next?" Dad asked. I thought.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"Gifts! Please?" I asked.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
