Party Animals
April 8th, 10:17 pm, you are at Purgatory Hall making a single cupcake, and a cake, for Leviathan’s birthday tomorrow. You had asked everyone to help you prepare a surprise party for him. Feeling relief when they all agreed, under one condition, Leviathan has to eat the Celestial Realm syrup. It had not even been over a month since the incident with Luke’s mixup during breakfast. With much hesitance, you agree so you can have help for his party, though, now the theme will change. Originally you had planned a Rurichan theme, now it will be animal themed for the sake of help on Levi’s birthday. Luke had given you a recipe to follow for the cake batter, which smelled great and you wanted a taste but remembered about the syrup.
When the cupcake and cake were done and frosted you thanked Luke on your way out. Thanking him for both giving you the recipe and bringing the cake to the party. Once you were back at the House of Lamentation you checked your D.D.D. for the time, 11:52 pm. You head upstairs with the cupcake in hand, stopping at Leviathan’s door. Taking a breath you start to get nervous with a light blush forming on your cheekbones. Nervous because of the syrup in the cupcake, making you start to blush from getting hot. After a few minutes of just standing at the door, you finally knock. No response. It wasn’t a big deal as he was possibly busy playing an updated game or waiting for 12 am for birthday logins where his favorite character will tell him happy birthday. Knocking a few more times, there was still no answer, which you did finally worry about him.
Reaching for the door knob, you opened it. Surprised by the rare occasion that it is unlocked. Walking in you were surprised to only see Henry 2.0 in the room. Not a single screen was on, starting to worry for a different reason. Checking the time you see it is now 11:56 pm. With that, you decide to just check around, but rather quickly. Having walked through almost all rooms, you made your way into the kitchen from the dining room. There you find your other half sitting on his phone. Very focused as always that he didn’t even notice you walking around the kitchen. Placing a candle in the cupcake and lighting, checking the time again, 11:59 pm. You place it in front of him, then hold him from behind. Boom. 12:00 am.
“ Happy Birthday to you,” not giving him time to have a crazy reaction, you continue to sing to him.
“happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Leviachan~,” he is smiling and blushing hard as you sing to him, gently rubbing your arm that is wrapped around him, slowly looking to you,
“happy birthday to you… happy birthday Levi”
Being close with him in your arms, him looking at you, you give him a peck. He blushes hard then you redirect the attention to the candle. Looking as though he is in heaven, but also like he is going to pass out. You gently chuckle while he gathers himself, then he blows out the candle. Unwrapping the liner of the cupcake, bringing it up to his mouth, he took a bite into it, humming gently. Having forgotten about the Celestial Realm syrup you just happily watched him, then, poof, smoke. Once the smoke started to dissipate, you remembered as you saw his giraffe horns. You said nothing but smiled innocently, though, you already knew that Levi knew some spell happened. He got up from sitting and walked in front of the refrigerator. Eyes widening, followed by a scream. Luckily everyone else was aware that his reaction would be as it is.
Seeing his reflection he freaked out a bit. Looking back and forth towards you and his reflection. Finally stepping away he stared at you, he can’t be very mad but he was more so upset. Leviathan’s feelings had now changed to anger and embarrassment. Almost summoning Lotan, but was stopped by Lucifer, in demon form, walking in.
“I advise you to rethink your action, THIS INSTANT”
Lucifer was calm then raised his voice. The younger only gulped and stormed out of the room. You looked at Lucifer a bit teary eyed but visibly sad. Catching yourself before anything, you just nodded towards him as a thank you, then left the kitchen. About to go to your own room, you stop at the top of the stairs. Debating on seeing Leviathan before you head to your room. Easily decided, you go to Leviathan’s door, knocking and quickly saying the secret phrase. He can’t do anything except open the door, after all, you are his Henry… right? Within a couple of minutes there was no answer, but of course you respected how he enjoyed being alone but also, how could he not answer?! With that, you only barged in, his room looked the same as the first time you went in. Going to his tub, you saw him buried in his blankets. Silence filled the gap between the both of you, with his giraffe sense of smell, he knew you were standing there.
“Levi… I’m sorry, I didn’t initially plan for it to hap-” You were cut off by the other,
“ So you knew that you were giving me the syrup?” Leviathan’s voice got deep and stern.
“I-I’m sorry Leviathan, I truly am sorry.”
“That doesn’t matter MC! I had plans for today! Specifically for u- never mind, just leave me alone for now.”
The tone he gave put a sting in your chest. Respecting the birthday boy’s request, you leave his room, but not before kissing his hand. It wasn’t to get him to forgive you faster, you usually did it no matter the circumstance. You had a hard time sleeping, but you did as much as you could. Waking up you were surprised to see the otaku laying next to you in bed, right away you wrap your arms around him. Once Leviathan had woken up, you both had a long talk. Though you still hadn’t told him of his birthday party, only telling him that you wanted him in giraffe form for a fun difference. He believed it, then time came. Everyone had set up the Lamentation dining hall in animal decorations. Everyone was wearing their everyday clothes, only you and Leviathan animals. The indigo haired male was embarrassed though calmed down with you by his side, and of course time.
Cake time came, he held you in his arms for his own comfort which you couldn’t resist from the one who isn’t very forward and confident; singing happy birthday, for you once again, to the third oldest brother. Taking bites of cake everyone slowly changed, to the birthday boy’s surprise no one was fazed by it. Asmodeus was bit down, but was reassured of his beauty which made him more open and tell Leviathan everything about the party planning. Anger from Leviathan was now towards his brothers for essentially bargaining you, but you took him away to be by yourselves.
You and Leviathan were in his room. You sat in his tub, pulling him in with you. Having him keep the light off. His room has a sort of ambience when its dark, the jellyfish gently light up, Henry 2.0’s tank is also dim, but enough to be awake for his own health. Leviathan rests his head on your shoulders, now being held by you. Eyes meeting every few minutes, looking to the jellyfish above you both then to each other. Finally you give up and kiss him again. This time it was full of love, gentle but deep, he reciprocated after a few seconds. Breaking the kiss you just smile at the tomato red face looking at you, cupping his cheeks.
“I love you Leviachan, happy birthday.” you smile and hug him. He has been nervous and overwhelmed while both of you are tangled together in the tub bed, but builds his courage to speak to the one he deeply loves.
“Thank you MC-chan, I love you a lot as well… another great birthday for the books.”
