Everyone's busy setting up the dinning room. Even the Captain blown balloon for Fushimi. There were lot of food and it was designed with blue cloth. It was all thanks to Kamo who took fine dinning before entering Scepter 4. Naoki was assigned to distract Fushimi and not to let him enter the dinning room. Naoki entered Fushimi's room. He's still sleeping. She sat at the edge of his bed and watch him sleeping. His eyelashes are longer that hers. His skin looks softer than hers. Naoki played with his eyelashes. She saw a pentlepen and was about to write on Fushimi's face but he gripped her wrist and dragged her down the bed having him on top of Naoki. "Checkmate", Fushimi smirked while Naoki's under him. "What? The Captain wants us to buy some fireworks", Naoki informed. She grabbed his blanket to hide her all flushed.

Fushimi washed and changed into his uniform. "Dont wear your uniform today", Naoki instructed. Naoki's wearing a furry jacket and jeans. Fushimi's on his casual clothes. White polo and black pants with leather shoes. "Why are you in formal clothes?", Naoki asked. "Then go change if you dont want to look like my maid", Fushimi provoked. Naoki changed into a knee high grey long sleeved dress with doll shoes. They went out of the headquarters.

They walked around the city. "What are the fireworks for?"? Fushimi asked. "For signals", Naoki lamely covered. Fushimi pulled Naoki close to him when a bullet came. The bullet hit the trash can that was nearby. "Missed", Fushimi sighed. Naoki's eyes are twirling. She's leaning on his chest. She regained her composure and saw HOMRA's sign in Fushimi's chest. "What a pervert", Fushimi gave a slight knock on her head the pushed her away. They continued walking. Both entered the department store. They bought the fireworks and passed by HOMRA's bar. Fushimi noticed the looks in her eyes.

After a while, everything was foggy. "Fushimi-san!!!'", Naoki shouted. "Why are you shouting? We're the only ones in this trap", Fushimi covered his ears. Naoki was reminded that she didnt bring her sword. Fushimi let out throwing knives and they were glowing red. "Fushimi-san, you're a...", Naoki stopped when she felt cold. Her body temperature started to drop. Fushimi light up his flame and gave heat. "No wonder why people hate you. Fushimi Saruhiko", the Strain appeared.

"Is it fun being outcasted from the society?", the Strain asked. "What are you saying? Fushimi is not an outcast!!!", Naoki clarified as she gripped on Fushimi's arm. "Fushimi-san has a family where he belongs and that is in Scepter 4", Naoki informed. Fushimi clicked his tongue and threw the knives to different direction. The Strain groaned in pain. Naoki called Domyouji to pick up the Strain.

"We're done with fireworks. I'll go ahead", Fushimi started walking away. "Not yet... Ah... We still have to buy supplies at the headquarters. We're out of shampoo", Naoki dragged him back inside the mall. Sales ladies are looking at hot Fushimi. "Make it fast", Fushimi clicked his tongue. "You have to smile. You wont be able to have a girlfriend if you always put a grumpy look on your face", Naoki adviced while checking on the shampoos. "I already got everyone's preference. Most of them uses menthol shampoos, Captain prefer the mild ones, Awashima-san loves the scent of mango. How about you?", Naoki asked. "Watermelon", Fushimi amswered and averted his stares. "Aish, kids right now. Look honey, he's making a beautiful lady carry the heavy loads", an old woman reported to her husband. Fushimi flushed and carried the basket. Naoki laughed at the scenario.

It was already getting dark so Naoki called for Ren to fetch them. Inside the car, Naoki and Ren tied Fushimi in ropes and covered his eyes. They knocked him off to be sure he wont cause trouble. Perfect timing, Fushimi woke up when they arrived at the homebase. He let out a sigh and just began to be obedient. Naoki held his hand to direct him. Ren removed the blindfold and the rest of the SCEPTER shouted "Happy 20th Birthday, Fushimi". The Captain went near and patted his shoulders. "For the rest of the 4 years with you, we never celebrated your birthday. That is why we decided to give you one", Reishi pushed him at the center table. "Its just your excuse to have a party", Fushimi bluntly said. Naoki elbowed Fushimi. "That's not true", Naoki pouted. "Wah!!! Finally we can eat meat without the diet protocol", Domyouji said loudly. "Uhm. Uhm.. Drink and be merry", Reishi seconded. "Can you guys go back to the real purpose?!!!", Naoki scolded.

The rest of the Scepter are having fun. Fushimi went at the balcony and stared at the sky. "How come we are having fun while in a mission?", Fushimi asked. "Why not? Life is not waiting for the storm to pass but dancing with the rain", Naoki smiled and pointed at the bunch of Scepter enjoying the night. "I want to puke at your words", Fushimi commented. "Then do it as you wish", Naoki pouted

"The information about my birthday... Ah... Like... I never told anyone... Captaim told me it was you... The party and all the stuff...", Fushimi stuttered. "In normal cases, you could just say thank you", Naoki punched his stomach making him cough. He looked straight at Naoki and averted his eyes. "Thank you", he said in a low voice. Naoki tipped toed cupped his face and directed it towards her. "Let me discuss how to say thank you. You have to look at them and say it in all sincerity", Naoki adviced. "You cannot give what you dont have ~ I wonder when was the last time you received those words that is why Im going to remind you", Naoki have a deep breath. "Thank you, Fushimi-san", Naoki smiled. "Thank you, as well. Great pretender", Fushimi shydly said. The fireworks began. Naoki release his face. They faced the sky. Fushimi said something but it was all noisy.

And so... That was the first time I wrote more than 700 words.

Then the next chapters will be back to mission.
