[OPEN!!!]

Characters: Rock Lee, Hyuuga Neji, and EVERYONE WHO WANTS CAKE
Location: Watch HQ
Rating: Gen to PG-13, depending on if there are swearing characters
Time: BACKDATED: July 8th, all day
Description: Lee wound up sending a mass message inviting anyone who wanted to come celebrate Neji's birthday**! Stop in, wish Neji happy birthday, get cake, and go about your day~

Were it not for the one banner across the doorway as you enter Watch Headquarters, one might never have known there was a birthday going on at all. But as it is, you don't need fancy decorations to have a swell party!

Lee has bought some cakes and ginger ale, but otherwise it's hoped to be a relatively casual affair. People stop in, have cake, wish the birthday boy well, then are free to go about their day as usual. Lee knew Neji would not want a big surprise party that was too loud or crazy, so having this kind of stopping-in party was really for the best. Lee would have liked a bigger occasion himself but it was not his birthday so it was not his decision. Not really. Even though he was the one to plan this.

Lee knew some of their friends would show up, but he was also curious to see how many new faces might peek in...

-Wish well the birthday boy! (pssst! He just turned 18!)
-General Mingling
-Refreshments (Cake!!)

[ooc: **This is mostly handwaved, but you can see Lee planning the party in this post!]

[Neji catches it between his fingers like any regular shuriken, then glances up, frowning as he turns it over. It's just paper, but it's good to know he still has his reflexes and situational awareness. He looks over at Lee and sits back, raising a brow]

You organized this.

[It's a mild observation rather than an accusation, and after a moment, he makes a small concession] The cake is rather good.

[He idly wonders who those others are, then shrugs]

You didn't need to make a fuss about it.

[A little disgruntled, but he actually appreciates the effort that went into all of it just for him]

But I suppose it is kind of nice, if somewhat embarassing.

[That expression surprises him, and Neji makes a note to never work directly with Sephiroth in the future if they can avoid it]

You didn't tell any of them to gift me anything, did you?

[Neji nods, relieved, unwilling to ask more of anyone in the Watch than he already might be]

Fair enough then, I suppose. It's been awhile since we had time to relax.

[Neji swallows as those words register through his mind and still doubt niggles at him. Struggling with that, he's silent for several moments]

If people don't have faith in their leader, then the team fails. I'm not the most likable person, Lee. If someone wants a reason to distrust me, there's that I'm a shinobi and I'm young.

The Erinyes sowed doubt into the citizens in the city, and the same could happen on a lesser scale if I don't prove that I'm fully capable of managing this organization.

[It wasn't really the point, but Neji tips his head]

I really don't need something like that right now, Lee. It already feels like it's falling apart sometimes.
heavenly_earth: (Anime; Movie; Satisfied)

Thank you, Lee.

[There isn't a time he's not grateful for his Weapon's devotion. He smiles, perhaps a bit inappropriately]

What do you think the Head Family Elders would say, to find me in a position like this?

[Neji hums a short note aloud, turning reflective]

I wonder if Hiashi-sama might say something to me if he were here.

[The thought escapes him unbidden and he flushes, clearing his throat]

Sorry.

[Neji shrugs, glancing off. He still feels foolish for the childish thought]

Perhaps. It'll be interesting if any of them appear here at any point.

[And save for either of his cousins, maybe not a good interesting]

[He nods]

At any rate, we'll just hope that no one takes too much issue with me until we've stabilized a little more.
