"Happy birthday, Yugi-kun!" Harmony exclaims with a bright grin. "I got you something just for that!" She gives him a bright blue gift bag. Inside is a handmade Kuriboh plush that she made with amigurumi. A small box of cupcakes with a blue bow is in the bag with the plush and birthday card that has a gift certificate for free burgers. "I plan to take you out for dinner too. You pick the place. It can be tonight or any night that works for you."

“Wow! You got so much for me? You shouldn’t have! Thank you so much, Harmony!” Yugi beamed, already happy his dear friend was here to spend time with him. He gratefully took the gifts and then got a bit shy. “Dinner for two? That sounds rom-... nice! Very nice! Uhm... how about Burger World? I’m always happy with a burger! I’m always happy to be surprised too if you have any recommendations!”

"Vivi!" Harmony smiles brightly to see her. She races to Vivi with a present wrapped in blue paper. "I'm glad I caught you! I heard it's your birthday." Harmony holds out the present to Vivi. "It's not much, but I thought you might like it." Inside the box is a journal with blue butterflies decorating the cover. and a gift card to the bookstore known for its plethora of manga. "Happy birthday, Vivi!"

❥ — 4/20 ;; Vivi’s Birthday … AKA NOT A DAY TO SMOKE WEED 

   The familiar voice she hears accompanying that small figure gradually becoming larger and larger has Vivian cease in her tracks. Wait, was that… Harmony? Sure enough, it wasn’t long until the aforementioned woman comes hurtling forward while holding out a box that seemed oddly familiar to her favourite shade of blue. Either way, her blinking eyes would instantly become more drawn towards it than her face, oozing with outright enthusiasm.

    Hold on, was she missing something here? Harmony’s next words, however, had recognition slowly dawn on her bewildered face. “ Oh yeah… silly me! As I went about my day, I totally forgot about it, ” she manages to admit at long last before graciously accepting the carefully wrapped parcel.

     “ Er… I have no idea who you held at gunpoint to gain this kinda information, but thanks, Har. I hope you didn’t need to donate a kidney in order to get me anything. ” Upon having finally voiced aloud her appreciation, Vivian began hastily tearing off the blue paper. Once it all came apart, she beholds the gift card and beautiful looking journal,  EMBELLISHED  with beautiful blue butterflies she found her fingers tracing along in absentminded wake.

     For once, she became rendered speechless.  By the time Vivian speaks up, on the other hand, she couldn’t quite prevent the surprise from lacing her tone. “ W-Wow! You weren’t joking when you said I might like it. Right after getting back home, I guess I’d just have to write in this! ”

the male sits next to the pool, watching harmony swim back and forth. a blanket is wrapped around his shoulders and upper body. despite it being warm enough for the girl to swim, sitting next to the pool, in a school uniform, he is freezing. plus, getting hit with the water every so often isn’t helping him stay warm at all. but, being stubborn, he doesn’t move and keeps watching.

Family

@ursusxarctos

Rei noticed that his and Harmony’s son expressed an interest in the outdoors. It was so... natural (haha) to Chou to be outside and interacting with as much as his parents would allow. So, Rei thought it best to include the whole family in this interest, to nurture it and encourage him. He took them to a nature trail, behind a local museum. 

The three year old’s eyes were bright as he looked out the window of the car. He loved the museum, but had never been to the nature trail. He was already so excited that Rei wondered what he’d do when he found out they’d be outside the whole time. 

“...he seems involved already.” Rei mumbled to Harmony, parking the car.

“Look! It’s um… some kind of bird… you like birds right?” - Ursusxarctos

–《 Looking to the sky, Sousuke held his hand up to shade his eyes from the brilliantly bright sun. It was such a lovely day.

“Yeah, birds are pretty cool. I wonder what it’s like to be that free,” he contemplated more to himself than to Harmony.

He turned to her next. “What about you?” 》–

"Sousuke." It wasn't a question but a unspoken command to rein the kid in. Like a puppy, Momo had been hopping around like a puppy in a new park. It was the same school grounds but the amount of people that'd been invited to explore the academy was over stimulating to the easily excitable.

"I thought I told you to watch him." An accousing glare with an accompanying grin was cast down at Ai. "We can't be having him scare everyone away when they've only just got here." It was almost like an open house with less parents and more obnoxious teens. An all-boys school apparently had some sort of appeal to it that when allowed, people had to get a glimpse at them.

A hand was pushed through his hair to combat the breeze. "Maybe next function would go better if you two watched from the dorms." It was gentle teasing that still set the younger one off in a panic and created a loud whine from the pup. "What do you say, Sousuke? We could take them food every two hours?" A laugh was given at the suggestion they might get too busy for that.

"Hey Yugi-kun?" Harmony isn't sure what he will think of this, but it's a question that's been bothering her for so long. She has to know! "May I touch your hair, please? I mean, i-it's okay if that's a no. It's just I don't know if. . . Okay, this might sound weird, but how does your hair. . . You know, do that thing? The, um." She pauses, certain that she is making this more awkward. "Like, with how it's styled like that. I'm sorry if that's disrespectful. I - I don't mean to be!"

“Hah? My… hair?” Yugi blinked in surprise at Harmony’s request, then let out a soft laugh. There was no way that could offend him, not from his dear friend at least. On the contrary, it was quite flattering! “S…sure you can!”

“I don’t think you’re disrespectful at all, Harmony-san! You won’t have to worry about that with me.” Yugi couldn’t help but blush a little about what was to come. “I honestly don’t know how it can stay up like that, really, I don’t use any hair products. I do push it in certain directions to make it stick out in certain ways, but that’s a few seconds of work. Maybe I just have really thick hair and I get bed hair easily because of the volume? It puzzles the barber, for sure, I thought I’d look cooler like this anyway.”

"Yugi-kun, ever since I came to Domino City, I noticed something. . .So, I have to ask. Why are so many people mean here? Is there something in the water?" Yugi has been in Domino City much longer than Harmony has. He must know why, or she hopes because she can't find any logical explanation. "Like, even some of the school staff are jerks and I just. . .I don't understand why they still have their jobs. Why can't they be normal, decent people?"

“You know, I never really sat down to think about that. They aren’t like that where you live? I just figured that was part of living in a city. Though you’re right about the school staff doing some very shady things at times.”

“I’m sure there are lots of nice people too though! Maybe the small number of mean ones are just very loud... I hope it’s just a small number at least.”Yugi seemed troubled for a moment, then gave a hopeful smile to his dear friend. “I’m going to do my part to contribute positivity! It has to start somewhere, right?”
