AL HAITHAM ([personal profile] commences) wrote in [community profile] yogen2021-12-31 02:45 am

この気持ち…伝わってるといいんすけどね (12/31)

Who: Hajime Hinata & friends
What: Happy birthday, Hinata-kun!
When: December 31, 9PM~
Where: School roof
Warnings: N/A, TBE

( there's various hidden signs that point towards the elevator, and if anyone catches sight, they'll see an arrow that points up, indicating for them to take it skyward. if they get off too early, there's a sign on the floor that reads, "next stop!", so if they dare, they can go back into the elevator and do as the words command. upon making your way to the rooftop on new year's eve, the setup is immediately apparent.

a number of glittering, sparkling decorations line the area — streamers, balloons, music, and a brightly colored sign the reads: happy birthday hinachan. at the heart of the setup is a bonfire that reaches almost shoulder-height — properly set up to make sure it doesn't spread anywhere further than its containment area, it sets a festive tone.

"borrowed" desks are also covered in an array of treats and appetizers courtesy of nene and amami, as well as enough love setsugetsukka to "make 3 people black out," which is probably enough to share if nobody gets too ambitious. the cake at the center of it all is the real star of the show however, almost as big as a person all on it's own.

to top it all off, even under the dim glow of the stars, nobody is short of a little light when natsume and noah's dazzling light show begins. once the main event has closed, a variety of firecrackers are brought out to celebrate with as things begin to wind down. varieties include the classic sparklers, these little spinny bitches, funky little sparkshowers, some little baby rockets, with the larger varieties spanning a couple feet at most. on the opposite side, there's a little table where a birdhouse is kept, and inside stuffed with all sorts of cotton and wood shavings are two birds huddled together inside, and a few treats that people can feed them if interest. if keigo looks at your character from afar, it's fine, that birdhouse they're living in was made by them, after all.

and at the centre of it all will be one boy with a bag over his head, kidnapped by rokuro arata, who sits him down and lets komaeda undo his blindfold — happy birthday, hinata-kun! )

the birthday boy

[personal profile] futurebullets 2021-12-31 10:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Waking up with his vision completely obscured is not how Hinata expected to spend his New Year's Eve, but he's honestly always expecting the worst to happen in this school. He's coming to from... being unconscious? What happened to him? What was he doing??? His hands might've even been bound, who actually knows, but it's when he's sat down and feels things being pulled off of him that he finally snaps out of it for real.]

What the hell if going on here- If this is your idea of a prank...!

[There's a rant building up in the back of his throat, but it trails off at the feeling of fingers undoing his blindfold. He's still glaring as it comes off, ready to tell of the perpetrator - but it's Komaeda he sees first, and that takes a lot of the fire out of him immediately. (And if he blushes a little bit, well...) The second person he sees is Rokuro, and that dampens his temper a little more.

But then he sees what's beyond them. The people, the fireworks that would've made him think it was just another party to bring in the new year if it weren't for everything else around them. Streamers and balloons. The extremely large cake. The sign that can't be written by anyone but Subaru, because no one else calls him Hina-chan.

Too many emotions to count well up in his throat, choking him up.]


You guys... did this for me? You actually...

[His eyes are burning.

Nobody ever, ever remembers Hinata Hajime today. He is never more important than hatsumode, or adults drinking around him, or osechi-ryouri that he grew to hate the taste of with every passing year. He is always... always forgotten.

Except for today.]


You... didn't have to do all this...

[The words are quiet and choked, his head quickly ducked as he scrubs furiously at the tears that start to spill.]
futurebullets: <user name=tanabata> (235)

because THINGS are always HAPPENING that make him CRY

[personal profile] futurebullets 2021-12-31 10:29 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not-!

[He rubs faster, because clearly he's not doing a good enough job of Not Crying if it's immediately apparent.]

Maybe... a little, but-

[He shakes his head, hard. When he talks again, his voice is barely above a whisper.]

It's never been like that for me. This day... has never been good for me.

[Most times, the memories he has of home are foggy and indistinct - which should be weird, really, but it's something he's always chalked up to the amnesia. This, however, is clear as can be - maybe it's from the empty feeling that the thought of this day usually brings.]

...Not until today.

[He blushes a little deeper as Komaeda wipes up his tears, but his voice is still quiet when he speaks.]

...How much of this were you behind?
futurebullets: <user name=albarose> (091)

HELP HE'S IN THE WATER

[personal profile] futurebullets 2021-12-31 11:09 am (UTC)(link)
You're just making fun of me now.

[He should be glaring at him, but somehow he finds himself smiling instead.]

It's... nice though. Being cared about so much, for people to do this much... [More than he's ever received, probably, except for when he was a lot younger. It's more cherished and wanted than he's felt in recent years.] I don't know if I really deserve all of this effort, but... It means a lot.

[There's a gentle warmth carried in his heart, spreading all the way out to his limbs. Content. Happy. Loved.]

And you totally took the blindfold off because you had nothing to do with this at all, right?

[It sounds a little watery, but Hinata laughs.

But there's light dancing in his eyes, and in his smile after.]


...Thank you, Komaeda.

he's doing his best

[subaru understands. it's a different set of circumstances, but he'd understand; his birthday was marred by something for years and years, and it's only recently that it's been filled with friends and light.

regardless of that similarity though he's going to divebomb hinata with a hug--]


Happy B-day, Hina-chan! And a happy new year! [its not time for that yet,] Ahaha! It's so cool that you grow older with the earth! You're like siblings!




[th thats not how that works either,]
futurebullets: <user name=albarose> (276)

is him!!!

[personal profile] futurebullets 2022-01-03 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oof-!

[That's the only thing he can let out at first, because he's not expecting it. But then slowly, and then more securely, he's hugging Subaru back. At first a little overwhelmed, but then the last bit gets a wet laugh out of him.]

I... don't know if it really works like that. [It gets into all sorts of weird territory like anthropomorphizing the earth to have parents, or becoming siblings with a lot of strangers. Neither is more than Hinata is really equipped to consider right now.] But... Thank you, Akehoshi. For everything you did for this.

[His voice shakes a little, but hopefully it's not too audible. It's hard for it not to, thinking of the sign with his name on it.]
starrypoint: (pic#13297170)

[personal profile] starrypoint 2022-01-03 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
Aw, there's no need to thank me~! You're my friend, so of course I wanted to pitch in! But you're welcome anyway. ♪

[the hug is nice, and subaru sinks into it for a moment before gently releasing the other.

not entirely. he's still got a grip on hinata.]


There's one more thing for you from me, since I didn't have time to get a real present for you~. Want it now?
futurebullets: <user name=albarose> (174)

[personal profile] futurebullets 2022-01-09 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Friends... He thinks of the stars, constellations draped over them like a blanket all of their own, and his eyes are stinging. Not because it's painful, but because he's happy. Hinata is so, so happy.]

Friends thank each other when they do something amazing for each other, you know.

[Hinata thinks that for Akehoshi, it probably seems like just a natural thing to do.

But for him, it's amazing. Precious and special, something to cherish even if he's too choked up on his own emotions to put that into words.

He hopes he isn't visibly teary, gently patting where Akehoshi is still holding onto him.]


It's real if you're giving me something, isn't it? Go ahead.
starrypoint: (interdigitate47)

[personal profile] starrypoint 2022-01-23 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[cute... subaru understands, though, how every present is Real if it's from a friend, even if it's nothing big or special as long as it's from the heart, as long as they gave a little thought. it's why subaru even appreciates rocks.]

Heheh... It's an old class tradition, so I hope you enjoy it!

[something 3a does for everyone's birthday, and something that's no doubt been passed along to his own class as a result -- subaru brings hinata close to the cake and slides a hand up to his hair, gripping slightly before pushing him face first into it.]

To good health and good fortune, eat up!!

[ they're going to run up to him while he's still tied up bc I can't get the image out of my head of Hinata with the bag and blindfold off but made to watch his birthday happen with rope still wrapped around his wrists and ankles

Mostly it's so they can go in for a hug that Hinata is unable to retaliate ]


Ani! Happy birthday! Were you surprised?
futurebullets: <user name=tanabata> (274)

[personal profile] futurebullets 2022-01-03 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
[I'm crying because I didn't notice when I read this in my email that you'd canonized it into being that he's tied up, but, anyway,

It's terrible, really, that he's tied up, because he might actually cry for real and doesn't have any way to brush his tears away with his hands bound.

But Hinata drops his head, buries it in Keigo's fluffy hair. The very best he can do to hide any evidence. He feels so overwhelmed.]


I was. I was... really, really surprised. [And then, quieter:] ...Thank you, Kogamo.
adsum: (keigo (6))

[personal profile] adsum 2022-01-03 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ohhh, there's that name again, the one that makes them feel warm and safe and happy ]

That's my line, Ani. Thank you for being here, and back then, too.
futurebullets: <user name=albarose> (211)

[personal profile] futurebullets 2022-01-09 09:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Hinata makes a sound in the back of his throat, touched and pained all in one, and he's so grateful for the position they're in. He knows he'd never be able to hide his tears otherwise.]

...You don't have to thank me for something like that. [Silly. Silly little duck, don't make him cry over that.] I'll always be here when you need me to be.

[He wasn't, before. But now he can be.]
adsum: (keigo (26))

[personal profile] adsum 2022-01-10 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
...Yeah.

[ It's always nice to hear, as much as promises like these make the fear spike way up, mind running a mile a minute over all the possibilities Hinata wouldn't be there when they needed him, whether by choice or not. They think to graduation, when he can't.

... ]


I know somewhere you can be right now: cutting your cake, so we can have cake! You have to make a wish on the candles, too!

[ Hinata's birthday present is npckun finally untying him so he doesn't spend the rest of the thread with his hands behind his back. ]

[personal profile] mermaidcursed 2022-01-01 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
( nene wasn't quite expecting that introduction to everything... but. well. nene bounds up to hinata with glee, catching him in a hug. she's not surprised he's this emotional, with what he's said to her in the past... so as his sister, she has to make up for lost time, right? double-lost time. nene tugs hinata down to press a soft kiss to his cheek before holding his arm and leaning against him- sorry birthday boy, but she's sticking with you for right now, beaming up at you. )
futurebullets: <user name=albarose> (174)

[personal profile] futurebullets 2022-01-09 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Hinata can't help it - when Nene hugs him, he folds over her in that hug and lets out a sigh, teary but like something's unwound in his chest.]

Nene...

[He feels a little bad, if only because he's tried to keep to what he promised that day - no verbal words, even going so far as to keep a small notebook on him for when they don't have the journal ready, so he can keep meeting her halfway if and until she chooses to communicate vocally again. But it's hard not to, when he feels that much emotion thrumming in his chest.

He blushes when she kisses his cheek, embarrassed, but he's smiling warmly as he pulls that book out now.]


Thank you, Nene. I'm really happy you're here.
mermaidcursed: (039)

[personal profile] mermaidcursed 2022-01-18 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
( nene reads the writing carefully and then pulls out a pen- maybe amami will spot it and recognize it as his christmas gift- and draw a heart by hinata's handwriting, before taking it to reply. )

of course i'm here. you're my big brother, after all! we're going to make tonight wonderful for you!
futurebullets: <user name=albarose> (144)

[personal profile] futurebullets 2022-01-21 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Hinata laughs lightly when he sees the heart, chest feeling warm, and draws a circle around it.]

Even so... It means a lot. I'm not really... used to having something like this done for me, really.

[There's a second where he wonders if he shouldn't have written that, maybe, because isn't it better not to be that open about such a thing...? But... if there's anyone he'd feel comfortable saying that to, it would be Nene.]
mermaidcursed: (113)

[personal profile] mermaidcursed 2022-01-27 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
( not how i mark-read this...

nene knows. she knows his own family... didn't value him at all. the way he asked so long ago, even her? it rings in her mind. but they're dead. they're all dead and all they have is each other, so quietly, she squeezes his hand in hers and smiles. )


then we have a lot to make up for.

[personal profile] decrypter 2022-01-01 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[applause, applause, when she hears his voice close enough for it.]

Happy birthday, Hajime! May this year be one full of joy for you.

[why wouldn't they do this for him? there's nothing that says New Year and his birthday can't be an equal moment of importance. in this place, where death is not always far, it's even more important to celebrate.]
futurebullets: <user name=albarose> (207)

[personal profile] futurebullets 2022-01-03 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
[The applause makes him flush, but still laugh lightly too. When Hinata speaks, his voice is ringing with fondness.]

Thank you, Helena... I'd say hopefully it's a better one, but it already has to be if it's starting out like this.

[nobody tell him what's going to happen at midnight]
decrypter: (advocate.)

not his beautiful smile...

[personal profile] decrypter 2022-01-03 10:19 am (UTC)(link)
We can still do our part to keep it up now that it's begun!

[and she nods, because even in this hell school they can still find small pockets of joy to make life bearable.]

I don't know if anyone else has said it yet, but also, congratulations on getting through another year. Do you know what you're going to wish for, when it's time?
futurebullets: <user name=albarose> (078)

soft... it's so soft, I miss that artist every day

[personal profile] futurebullets 2022-01-09 09:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... [He nods as well, a little less water in his voice and a little more warmth.] Yeah, you're right.

[There's a lot still ahead of them, after all... But Hinata will do everything he can to protect this fragile happiness.

He hums though, shoes scritching against the roof's surface as he shifts his weight. A wish, huh... That's a little hard, actually, because...

Hinata laughs, rubs the back of his neck.]


It's kind of hard to think of a wish when it feels like so many got fulfilled tonight. But maybe... [He trails off.] ...Ah, I guess they don't come true if you say it, huh?
