Who: Kirley Duke, Orsino Thruston, Myron Wagtail, William Weasley, BOBBY (npc)!
What: K's Birthday!!
Where: The Black Cat
When: Friday 17th February
Rating: K = High probably
Status: Incomplete


So far his birthday had been amazing; he'd got loads of cards from fans, which always made him smile. Orsino had found a vampire panda hat, which had made him giggle for an hour when he'd found it in the fridge. As soon as O had woken up they'd had cake for breakfast and lazed around the boat for a while. Well, lazed as much as two people who never sat still could. Then they'd gone to Curly's and K had picked up the guitar he'd been lusting after for about four months.

He'd named the new boy, Jasper and played him for three hours straight once they'd come home. Don and his Mrs had stopped by for dinner, as had Meghan. A quick change after their guests had gone and now he and Orsino were pushing through the familiar doors to The Black Cat. Bobby's place. The lass herself appeared from the back office and ran over to catch him in a bear hug, which he returned with a laugh. 'Alright?' He gave her an odd look then, sensing something was being hidden from him but not knowing what. 'Why are you looking so shifty?'

Orsino entered The Black Cat full of bounce and cheer - which was understandable considering it was one of his best friend's birthday. He laughed gleefully as the small brunette ran over as he and Kirley entered, wrapping K up in a tight friendly hug. Bobby was awesome - one of O's favourite people.

Bobby gave K's question about her being shifty an innocent look - not seeming to give anything away. By then Orsino's attention was looking around the room and he spotted another red head toward the back.

"I didn't know your friend William was coming, K." He blurted out, almost like a question. Orsino had a habit of just saying exactly what was on his mind - it didn't really matter that people around him were mid-conversation or not.

The innocent look never usually worked, mainly because he knew Bobby was far from innocent when she used it.

'William?' Kirley's attention went to Orsino and he gave his friend a baffled look. Following O's gaze, he looked across the room and let out a bark of surprised laughter. 'WILLIAM!!' Tugging one of Bobby's dreadlocks gently he grinned at her, 'sneaky monkey.' Then bounded over to his second oldest friend in the whole world.

'You're supposed to be in Egypt!' Kirley chuckled, wrapping his arms round Will in a tight hug. So much for his friend letting him know he'd be visiting. This was turning out to be the best birthday ever. Surprise visits were brilliant.

Bill had snuck into the main part of the pub when Bobby had dashed out of her office after hearing Kirley arrive. He felt a little bad for not telling his friend that he was coming home when he had promised but the look on Kirley's face when he spotted him was well worth it.

"And miss your birthday? Not this year, Daisy." Bill wrapped his arms around the smaller man in a friendly hug. "Happy Birthday, Kirles." He loosened the hug after Bobby came over and joined them. (Orsino had moved to the bar and had somehow convinced the barman to let him have a turn at making cocktails and twirling the bottles.)

"Good surprise?" Bobby asked, a pleased smile on her face. "I was tempted to wrap him up and put a bow on his head but I couldn't find enough paper." At that, Bill poked his tongue out at the cheeky woman.

"Actually, I'm here for good." Bill stated, deciding to be upfront about his situation. Kirley deserved to know, after all, he and Bill had basically grown up together at Hogwarts and were still friends - that had to count for something.

Hugging William was like hugging a giraffe, or so Kirley thought. He was much taller than K, but the Scot was used to being shorter than most his friends. 'Thanks! I'm so glad, you're here! I like having my friends around for my Birthday, makes it better y'know?' Stepping back from the hug, K slipped his arm around Bobby as she joined them, eyes searching out O, checking he was still close. A little smile curved his lips as the drummer juggled bottles and he chuckled at Bobby's words.

'William in wrapping paper and a bow,' tilting his head he pictured the thought and grinned. 'That would have been funny.' Nodding, he gave Bobby a little squeeze. 'Definitely a good surprise.'

The next words out of William's mouth made him grin even wider and he bounced a little on his toes. 'Really? That's brilliant! Oh... though now you can't flirt with Portia anymore.'

Bill nodded, knowing exactly what Kirley had meant by having friends around. Egypt, as fun and as lovely as it was, was lonely at times. Oh, sure, he had made friends with those he worked with. But he still missed having his other friends around - especially on birthdays.

"Yes, really," Bill chuckled, making no comment on the Portia remark. Orsino's sister was lovely but she was just a friend and co-worker.

"Who can't flirt with Portia?" Orsino came over and joined the little group, holding a tray of colourful drinks and handed one out to each person present. "That one is called... well, not sure, actually. But it is blue, red and yellow... like K's guitars. Appropriate, yeah?"

He didn't wait for a definite answer, instead getting distracted by the instruments on the stage. "Rainbow drums!" Orsino dashed over to the stage to get a better look.

A man - the owner of said drums, apparently - came over and stood beside O. The two had a conversation over the drums which seemed to bring a smile of delight to Orsino's face. The Weird Sister's drummer hopped up on the small stage with ease and sat himself behind the drum kit, thanking the other drummer when he was handed a set of drumsticks. Orsino counted himself in and then went straight into a drum solo that he seemed to be making up on the spot.

'William can't.' Kirley answered Orsino, taking the offered drink and sipping it. 'Mmmm I like it!' He was fairly certain that the sugar content of that particular cocktail was as high as the alcohol content. Which would mean a very hyperactive guitarist as the end result; but it was his birthday, so he didn't care. If he crashed at the end of the night, he was sure someone would get him to a safe place to sleep, even if it wasn't his own bed.

As O was distracted by multi-coloured drums, K chuckled; watching fondly as his friend scampered over to the stage. Feeling eyes on him he turned back to Bobby and William and raised his eyebrows. 'What?'

Bobby poked him in the side, causing him to squirm. 'Oi, watch the drink. I want to savour every drop, not spill half of it!' As a drum solo started, K grinned; 'love that kid.'

"Thanks," Bill said as he took one of the drinks Orsino offered and took a sip. Fruity cocktails weren't his usual drink of choice - more of a firewhiskey or beer person - but he didn't mind the taste of it.

He looked to the birthday boy when he chuckled as the drummer scampered over to the stage - noting the look of fondness on Kirley's face. Bill shook his head, amused. His friend was clearly smitten with the young drummer.

"You should tell 'that kid'," Bill watched Kirley's expression as the guitarist kept his eyes on his bandmate.

'Aha.. no, I really shouldn't.' Kirley, drank some more to avoid talking again for the time being. His feelings for Orsino were complex at best. Especially as he also really liked a certain Puddlemere United Keeper. 'Though I should probably be a little less obvious in future.'

Ducking the hair ruffle Bobby gave him, he shrugged, eyes flicking back towards the stage for a second before returning to William. 'Have you got a place yet or are you going back to your Folks'?'

Judging from Kirley's behaviour, the other man clearly wasn't ready to discuss the topic so Bill wasn't going to press the matter. Especially not on Kirley's birthday. He'd let it drop for now.

"Actually, was hoping to stay on Bobby's couch for a while." Bill replied a little cheekily to lighten the mood, earning him a dirty look from the woman in question. Bobby didn't mind the boys playing sleepovers, but she liked her space and was glad they all had homes to go to.

Bill chuckled at the look on Bobby's face, shaking his head and taking another sip of his drink. "Seriously though, I bought a house near Tinworth about twelve months ago. Going to finally fix it up and live there. You're welcome over any time, of course."

The drumming stopped and Orsino chatted with the band's drummer about the instrument he'd just played. O was always a bit more lively and animated when chatting about a topic he was passionate about. From where Bill was standing, he'd looked happy and even gave the other drummer a quick hug in thanks for letting him play the instrument.

"I give those drums an E." Orsino practically announced to the group, seeming to not really care if he had interrupted any conversation they were currently having. "I mean, they were great and all but he needs a new bass pedal and maybe rework the set up so he can add another cymbal." He picked up a drink he had left behind to go play the drums and took a sip. "Oh, yuck, that tastes funny now."

"Want me to get you another one, O?" Bobby untangled herself from her hug with Kirley and started moving toward the bar, taking O's 'yuck' drink with her.

"Yes, please, Bobby." Orsino nodded, a pleased grin back on his face. He liked the drink Bobby made him, she knew what flavours he liked so he didn't have to order anything. He shuffled around and leaned in next to K, whispering in his ear. "Drummer said we can play his band's instruments again later. If you want, birthday boy."
