[SO GUESS WHAT PEOPLE-WHO-LIVE-IN-ALLEN'S-HOUSE-THAT-USED-TO-BELONG-TO-GUTS

IT'S CHRISTMAS.

Which means that the pitter-patter of feet is making its way down the hall, to your room...

and landing on your bed.]

Wake UP! Jeez, 's already 6 AM you sleep too much!

[ooc; OPEN FOR EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE and yes Timothy's yelling can be heard throughout the house.

Edit: Tree thread!]

That answered nothing, that I had asked.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

It does! I'm more certain about how I feel, okay!?

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

[That, is a little more clear, and he smiles slightly and he'll shake his head to try and hide it] I don't know what I'm going to do with you.

[It's fond, because his ability to frustrate him is all a part of his charm] Come here.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

What does that mean?

[Part of him wants to hesitate just to be an arse, but he'll move closer to him]

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

I shall let you know once I have figured it out.

[He has to train you, or something. He'll pat the spot beside him on the couch, get back over here and open your presents]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Is that so.

[He'll sit by him, but instead of moving towards those presents he'll just...attempt to lean against him. ]

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

It is.

[He's amused by that, and he'll purse his lips together again to stem off some light laughter. Tying to please him now, are you? He'll let him lean]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[not quite! He's partly tired...it's been a long morning]

Can we...do Christmas tomorrow? I'm afraid today I'm not doing it very well.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

[A likely story]

You will still have to attend the meal with the other's later, but...That aside, yes. I don't see why not.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

...Thank you. [That isn't until later, so he can brace himself for that. But not being forced to celebrate Christmas? it's nice]

I should...probably mention that I'm twenty today, shouldn't I?

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

[Christmas celebrating is mostly for Timothy's sake, so no one is exempt from dinner jkhikj]

...What?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Today's my birthday...or as close as I have to having one.

I just don't mention it much since then people will insist on doing something for it.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

As they should! Such a date requires a gift at the least, Allen!

You should have made mention of it before!

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

But I'm already getting Christmas presents...

It's not that big a deal Arthur....I mean, technically it's not even a real birthday.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

That doesn't matter! They are two separate things to celebrate.

...And how is it not?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

But I don't want to make people get two separate things!

Because I don't know my actual birth date. So I simply use...the day I was adopted to keep track of my age.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

The only one who cares about that is you!

[...You did not just say that]

The day he chose to make you his son, and give you a proper chance at life became your date of birth, fitting in that manner...And you choose to honour him and such memories by stating it isn't even real?

[Do you just want to review your crazy and explain to him how this makes sense sdfdfg]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Well doesn't my opinion matter about it?!

[He'll scowl]

It's not like that! I do honour him and my memories of them, I cherish them! I just...I don't see how treating it like a normal birthday is doing so!

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

No! Just like mine did not, when you all insisted upon purchasing gifts!

Because that is when it happened! [A pause] Because you are not doing...This.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Your birthday hardly falls on Christmas! [OKAY HE KNOWS THATS A WEAK ARGUMENT BUT SHHH >O ]

This?

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

I still did not wish to celebrate it! And whether or not it's Christmas, does not matter.

You are not...Enjoying yourself. [But that's the end of that, really. But in the way that signifies they're coming back to this some other time]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

It's not like we did that much for it... [JUST A GIFT]

...No, I'm not. But I enjoy myself plenty the rest of the year, so it...it can't be that big a deal.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

So? It was still observed, against my wishes. You will become accustomed to it.

You only think so, because you're a bit of an idiot. [And he'll just tug him to lean a bit closer to him, and then tuck the stray ends of Arthur's fleece blanket around him]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Accustomed to what?

I'm not an idiot. [Aww that's sweet. He won't resist that and lean against him, making himself comfortable on his shoulder]

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

Receiving gifts of some sort.

So you claim. [Good. He'll just wiggly very minimally to make himself more comfortable and relax into the couch, putting his feet up on the coffee table.]
