[Open; Backdated] It's My Party...let's not catch my house on fire.

[blueeyedflyboy]

Who: Anyone and Everyone
What: Balfour's having an odd cross between a dinner party and a birthday party at his house, and he's invited everyone.
When: 15 April
Where: His house in Mallow Hallow

<sub>[So, after his announcement, Balfour had spent a lot of time and energy after crying on Reid's shoulder setting up the party. There's a lot to eat: steaks, chicken, different types of vegetables both grilled and heated up in his microwave. There's also at least four types of alcohol not counting however many types of beer had been brought. He's basically expecting everyone to enjoy themselves and have fun.

There are picnic tables all over for people to eat at, as well as chairs, and the inside of the house has been cleared up a bit to make a sort of bounce house for anyone who wants to use his floor as a trampoline.]</sub>

Comments

[garwin]

[He laughed, watching the dragon climb, and reached out to pet it a bit. His other arm he slid around Balfour's waist, loosely, just for the contact.]

I'm glad. [He smiled.] Kinda seems a little more like a cat than a dragon right now though. [What, with the climbing and all. Better than it trying to fly up to their shoulders right now though, he supposed. He'd probably get a wing to the face with his luck.]

[blueeyedflyboy]

_{[Balfour laughs as well and snuggles in close to Reid. It serves the dual purpose of contact and making sure the dragon doesn't fall and hurt herself if she wants to go between people.]}

She reminds me a bit of Anastasia. She's so curious...

[garwin]

I'm glad.

[He smiled, leaning against Balfour a bit.] That's what I was trying to do. I mean, you miss her and...this is the best I can do to help, so.

[blueeyedflyboy]

It was a great gift. Thank you.

_{[Have a kiss, Reid. And also the dragon has decided that your earring looks like a fun dangly toy.]}

[garwin]

[He shrugged a little. Honestly he was almost a little shy about this whole thing. He'd never really given someone a gift that they appreciated this much before. Gift giving was hard.]

You're welcome.

[He smiled into the kiss but then-oh, oh.]

Hey!

[Immediately he raised a hand to try and nudge the dragon away and protect his earring. Because seriously, the last thing he needed was to get turned on because a dragon thought his earring was fun to play with.]

[blueeyedflyboy]

<sub>[The dragon trilled happily and decided that not only was the earring fun to play with--watch her tweak it with her tail, whee~--but Reid's fingers were a chew toy. Good thing she doesn't bite hard, right?

Meanwhile, Balfour's just...going to go back to kissing Reid.]</sub>

[garwin]

[Wow, no. The dragon made him laugh at least, while he tried to turn his head away, hand still clapped over his ear even though it didn't seem to do much good.]

Balfour! [He managed in between kisses. Just. No one pay attention to that slight flush creeping across his neck.]

[blueeyedflyboy]

What?

_{[He laughs and pulls back, reaching up to move the dragon down to the floor. She trills, disappointed, but goes to play with other things that are hanging down. Like ties on hoodies. And sleeves.]}

[garwin]

[That was much better. He didn't care what else the dragon played with, she could tug on his sleeve to her heart's content. Anything so long as it wasn't his earring. In the middle of Balfour's birthday party. With Balfour as shy about things as he was.]

It, uh, just... [He shrugged, smiling.] Just a little awkward.

[blueeyedflyboy]

<sub>[Nope, the little dragon has now decided to play tug-o-war with Reid's hoodie sleeve, so enjoy that. She'll just be dragging Reid's hand off to the side and ohmigod is she growling? The sound is almost like growling, but cute.

Balfour just laughs and kisses Reid's lips, tweaking his earring a little.]</sub>

Was it that?

[garwin]

[Hey, Balfour, it looked like you had competition for who's cutest around here, because that dragon? Was pretty damn cute. So cute, even, that Reid didn't mind one bit about the tugging. It was only a little dragon, after all.]

Hey!

[He was laughing at least, pulling back a little, but come on. Not you too, Balfour.] It's...yeah. Just don't do that. I mean, not right now, at least.

[blueeyedflyboy]

_{[Balfour laughs softly and flicks his earring once more before lowering his hand, leaning forward for a deep kiss. He's a little distracted, though he can't help but laugh at the dragon trying to pull Reid's hoodie off. Or whatever she was doing.]}

You're a little brat, aren't you?

_{[He picks her up carefully and places her in his lap.]}

[garwin]

[Whatever she was doing, it was cute. Maybe it was revenge for Reid putting her in that box for so long. Either way, though.]

I guess she got it from me. [He grinned and shrugged.] So what're you going to name her?

[blueeyedflyboy]

Honestly.. I don't know.

_{[Balfour slumps against Reid and tickles the dragon's stomach, fighting contently with her paws.]}

I'm...not great at names.

[garwin]

[And isn't that a precious scene to watch. If he had known it would be this precious, he would have gotten Balfour a dragon ages ago.]

Hmm, maybe something like...Quicksilver, or-wait, all your dragons are chicks, right? Uhm. Lily, or...I don't know.

[blueeyedflyboy]

I don't think she's a 'Lily.'

_{[Balfour shrugs, nuzzling into Reid's neck.]}

They had names like Thoushalt, Compassus, Havemercy, Illarion, Cassiopeia, Proudmouth, Natalia... names like that.

[garwin]

[Oh, that felt nice. Instinctively, he tilted his head a little, trying to focus on names. He remembered Balfour had mentioned some of those before.]

Something like Mercury maybe? I'm not very good with names.

[blueeyedflyboy]

Mercury...

_{[A beat, let him think about this one. And then he nods.]}

I like that.

[garwin]

Really?

[Wow, Reid sucked at coming up with names, so he was-pleasantly-surprised that Balfour liked that one.]

I mean, it is fitting.

[blueeyedflyboy]

It's quite lovely.

_{[He smiles and kisses Reid, tweaking his earring just to mess with him a bit. Who says Balfour's not a tease?]}

[garwin]

Good. I'm glad you like it.

[He smiled. Balfour. Balfour, please. See that shiver? You only want to keep doing that if you want to end up with Reid trying to take your clothes off in the middle of your birthday party.]

[blueeyedflyboy]

<sub>[How about just a make-out session instead? How does that work? Because he's not planning on stopping kissing Reid any time soon, even if the dragon is trying to pull at his pants.

He catalogues the reaction to the earring-tweaking away for a later date. He'll use that information, he's sure.]</sub>
