50th Resurrection

It's Theo's 21st birthday! But unlike most guys his age, he won't be out partying. When does Theo ever party? Instead, he's trying to go about a normal day without interruptions. He's not that lucky though.

a) You'll find him storming out of the bank, as his drone coworkers has approached him with a balloon and a cake. They stand around in confusion as he marches off and makes a bee-line towards home, grumbling.

b) He'll be hiding out in the library, trying to get some peace. Anyone there might notice the man reading books that clearly aren't from the library itself. They're old and well-worn, and any titles rubbed off long ago. He occasionally makes notes in a small notebook as well. Care to bug him?

c) At home, Theo's glad that the house no longer has drones in it, so they won't bring up this birthday crap. Little does he know, though, that the former drone wife has marked the calendar. He'll be sitting outside on the porch, his crows and cat close by. Head is titled back, cigarette dangling from his mouth, and eyes closed, Theo is attempting to enjoy the cooling fall weather. He occasionally takes a sip from a flask in his jacket pocket as well. He's been even more miserable that usual lately and it's even starting to get to him, so he's trying to unwind.

Yeah, but today's your birthday! [ Albeit lopsided he does offer a grin to Theo. This logic isn't breaking nearly sixteen years of tradition. ]

You're the one who said you couldn't cook.

And a cake every once and awhile on your birthday is nice. ( Yukio tilts his head, also not clearly understanding the logic. Besides, he seems more focused on Rin. )

He said he doesn't bake, nii-san. There's a difference.

There is. Never cared to learn how to bake. Wasn't practical.

Never been a fan of my birthday. But since I'm 21, Mayfield wants to make a big goddamn deal of it. [He stands up now. He still looks tired, even after laying lower after the zombie debacle, and Ken Hidaka dragging home an unconscious Theo.]

Fine. Let's have cake, I guess.

Oh. [ He should probably keep track of which type of cooking style was what, but all in all he just liked doing it. ]

Great! [ A genuinely happy response from the elder of the twins. He'll lead the way back into the kitchen where they could sit down and each have a slice. ]

Aren't you happy to still be alive? That's what birthdays are for, I think [ Rin knew he was. ]

It's still hard to believe Kira and yourself are so close in age to us, yet this place saw fit to throw you into parental roles. ( Nevertheless, he'll follow after his twin as he moves back into the kitchen.

Yukio raises a brow at Rin's statement, curiously glancing off. Although sometimes he wondered about it, he is happy himself to be alive despite the overwhelming number back home who probably believed they would have been better killed before they were even born.
) Father used to say something like that, huh...

[Funny you should put it that way, Rin. One of the reasons he doesn't recognize his own birthday in Mayfield was because he died back home at age 19. So he makes no comment to that.]

Mayfield does a lot of shit that doesn't make sense. There used to be a woman in this house as the "wife", who got moved out and moved into a house with her twin brother, "married" to him. This town's got a weird sense of humor.
