Happy birthday to our priestess

Fluff

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~

It was late by the time everyone returned to the shared apartment. Amelia was leaning against Calli for support, stumbling around drunkenly from the sake while Gura was being piggy-backed by Kiara. The birthday girl, however, was still wide awake, swinging your hand enthusiastically with every step.

As soon as the door as opened, Calli unceremoniously dumped Watson on to the couch, letting her snuggle into the pillows and and folded blankets. Gura decided this was the best time to break the silence with a rather loud snore, announcing that she was asleep .

Kiara sighed tiredly, dropping the shark next to the detective before shrugging off the coat she was wearing, abandoning it by the coffee table with the sleepy excuse ' I'll pick it up in the morning '. Calli, however tired she was, still picked the coat up and hung it on the hooks by the front door, giving you and Ina a tired wave as she followed Kiara into the shared bedroom.

But even though everyone else was tucked up in bed (or couch), you and Ina could still feel the energy thrumming in your veins. It might've been from the party rush, or maybe it was the fact you and Ina had chugged at least 12 cups (separately) of the sake, along with several different handfuls of party snacks plus cake, all of which gave you either a sugar and or adrenaline rush.

"I feel like a kid on Christmas morning" Ina slurred out, the sake having hit her strongly hours ago. You nodded along with the statement, squeezing Ina's hand fondly.

Then, like a lightbulb went off in her head, Ina gasped and turned to face you dramatically, eyes shining. The wide, toothy smile on her face felt infectious and you soon felt one on your own face grow.

"I got it! Let's go to the nearby park! I can push you on the swings!" Ina was already pulling on a more comfortable set of shoes along with the scarf Kiara had gotten her last year, passing another one for you.

And of course, being in the drunken state you were, agreed instantly, quickly wrapping the scarf around your neck sloppily.

As soon as Ina stood up, she took your hand in her own once more. You both paused as you opened the door, looking back to see Amelia roll over and clutch Gura loosely in her sleep. The shark chuckled a few times before they both fell quiet. You let out the breath you didn't know you were holding before Ina tugged at your arm, prompting you to run with her.

Good thing Amelia was awake to close the door after you. The detective (albeit grumpily) rose from her comfortable spot nestled behind Gura to close the door you and Ina had left open. She didn't really blame you as the both of you were almost certainly heavily intoxicated by this point, but could you at least have the decency to close the door behind you?

But hearing the sound of you laughter fading away into the night as you ran to wherever you were going made it worth it. Amelia shook her head fondly as she watched the two of you disappear around a corner and quickly returned to her spot as the big spoon against Gura.

And laughing you were. You were now struggling to hold Ina up as she doubled over in laughter, and for absolutely no reason, too. But neither of you needed a reason, and you too felt the bubbling sensation of chuckles rising from your chase, and soon enough you were clinging to each other as you tried your hardest to support each other, laughing your heads off.

You were so busy laughing that you didn't notice the wooden rim of the playground border, and you ended up tripping. Either out of desperation or insinct (maybe both) you both clung on to each other tighter than you thought possible.

A soft ' oof ' was forced from the both of you as you felt on the bark chip, the impact being caught mostly by the thick jumpers you were wearing.

Before you knew it, Ina started laughing again. It was loud, cheerful and full of warmth that made you flush red. You just opted to rest your head against the crook of Ina's neck, breathing in the scent of faint lilacs and old books. It calmed you, and Ina's laughing quickly died down and she embraced you.

"C'mon, I wanna push you on the swings.." Ina mumbled into the top of your head. In response, you hummed absentmindedly.

"You're really pretty" The words were blurted out before you could stop them. You felt Ina freeze against you, and a quick glance would show her severely reddened face.

"I don't think we tell you that enough... You're really pretty, and cute too" As you spoke, you took a few strands of purple hair in between your fingers, twirling them softly.

Ina squeaked, ear flaps pressed against her head as she tried to compute the compliments. But you just laid there, nice and warm in Ina's arms as she sputtered.

Instead you just chose to say

"You're ina -credible, you know that, right?".

You laughed softly, pulling a few bits of Silly-String from her violet locks. Ina shuffled out from under you, holding out a hand for you to grab. You did so and she pulled you to your feet, nodding her head towards the swing sets.

"Let's see who can get the highest!" There it was. That confident aura that made your heart flutter.

You didn't move when Ina tried to tug you towards the swing set, hands fidgeting with Ina's surprisingly un-gloved fingers. The priestess gave you a confused look before you gave her a big smile and said,

"I just wanted to say happy birthday to the prettiest tako~".
