It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....? Wait, what?

[cup_of_smex]

Today is like any other beautiful day in May. The sun is shining, the birds are singing and there are light, fluffy white clouds in the sky. The kind of day where you think to yourself: “Life is good. There isn’t anything that could possibly go wrong today.” - And then you give yourself a smack across the head, because you work at café, and when a

[is wearing an outfit which was so bright and full of happiness and love, that Itachi's eyes will probably bleed when he sees it in which case, Deidara would probably have to hug the little bastard, because he was so cute when he was angry~.

He is also carrying a gift bag that seemed filled with red, white and pink envelopes]

GOOD MORNING, CAFE~!

[double_nomsalot]

[Zetsu is having the problem of starting trains of thought, dropping them, groping about blindly on the floor for them for a moment, and accidentally picking up different ones. But he figures Deidara will understand. It's a lot like him anyway.]

Deidara-san!

I'm hungry. Are you hungry?

...You're also pink.

[cake_is_a_bang]

Zetsu-chan!!!! [Zetsu is immediately grabbed and hugged very tightly (maybe even spun around a bit)]

You're hungry? How 'bout some Valentine's day cupcakes?! [holds up a tray of red and white chocolate cupcakes, seemingly pulled out of nowhere] Roses are red, violets are blue, but you should know all that, 'cause you're ZETSU!

[No, it didn't really rhyme, but close enough (which is usually the case with Valentine's Day, isn't it]

[bloodwithcoffee]

Stares. Just. fucking. stares.

(Which is slightly creepy, since Hidan currently looks like a homicidal maniac. ...Oh wait. Typical.) He hesitates, before jabbing a finger in Deidara's face and adding, after slight pause... (it must be the trauma) (voice clear and fucking decided, the words DELIBERATE).

"And THIS. is why. you can NEVER get a fucking DATE."

[velvet_en_rouge]

[When Sasori enters the cafe that morning, he's wearing a bartender's suit, a pair of 2012 glasses, and a a furry pink pimp hat.]

Fuck the Mayans, the world doesn't end till I say it does. [Kicks open Cafe door upon his arrival.] COME AT ME BRO 2012, COME AT ME RIGHT NOW. THE WORLD ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE, SO YOU MAY AS WELL GET THIS OVER WITH. YOU CAN'T FOOL ME.

[Pours himself a strong cup of espresso and sits stiffly on the nearest table; he's clearly spent way too much time looking up conspiracy theories online again.]

[cake_is_a_bang]

HEY THERE VALENTINE~

[velvet_en_rouge]

Howdy, Pinkie Pie ... [Stares at Deidara and can't help wondering if the blond ordered his outfit from a Barbie catalogue. Not that he's ever browsed through one in his spare time, never, not Sasori. His eyes widen when he realizes Deidara is a genius; the world CAN'T end if there's another Valentines' due. I think I love you.]

.. I'll be your rose if you'll be my honey-bee. And ensure my existence for all of eternity. [Takes a long sip of his espresso whilst staring wide-eyed at the blond.]

[cake_is_a_bang]

[Saunters closer to Sasori. Stares. Realizes that Sasori's hair is red the most perfect head of hair he has ever seen, so vibrant like a rose.]

Our babies will have red hair~

[cakeandmoney]

[Kakuzu has replaced his morning coffee with an alternative drink, eyeing everyone who comes into the cafe warily. The countertop has been decorated entirely with verdant streamers and clovers, and the cash register has quite an impressive array of liquor bottles lined up next to it.

Nothing seems physically different about Kakuzu. He's wearing his normal cafe uniform...well, save for a small addition.]

[cake_is_a_bang]

[Something comes flying at Kakuzu's face, slicing through the air like a knife- is it.. could it be...

Yes. It's a Valentine's Day card]

Kakuzu~ How's my fav' money-lover doing, hm~

[Stares at Kakuzu's shirt] Why are you wearing that ugly colour? Green is so last March, un.

[cakeandmoney]

[Despite the choice of beverage, Kakuzu is still good with his reflexes. He grabs the card out of the air with a scowl, setting his pint on the counter.]

The hell is with you today. [His lip curls at Deidara's outfit. Good lord that was an ugly shade.] Tch. I'd rather look ugly than girly. You need more green--

[A smirk suddenly formed on his face as he dropped the card on the counter, reaching out for Deidara's face to pinch one cheek roughly.]

[cake_is_a_bang]

Green is disgusti- OW, HEY.

[blinks. Begins to grin] Kaku-chan, are you flirting with me?

SO YOU GUYS HAVE THE BEST EVENTS. JUST FYI

[double_nomsalot]

[Zetsu does not enter the Cafe walking in a straight line. No, he kind of... meanders in. Pauses to examine the doorknob for a few minutes before he enters. Experiences a moment of fascination with the ceiling fan. Seems inordinately pleased (even moreso than usual) by an arrangement of holly on the nearest table. His clothes are slightly disheveled (or, well, disheveled by his standards, which means not perfectly in place), and there is a very distinct, smoky odor about him.

You do not even know the extent to which he has gone to share with you the joy of this year's unexpected bumper crop of cannabis.

You also do not know how much jail time he is carrying in dried green currency on his person.

Answer: A lot.]

[velvet_en_rouge]

[Freezes when he catches that amazing, forbidden, oh-so irresistible organic musk distinct aroma. He rushes over immediately.] Can I just ... smell you?

[double_nomsalot]

[Zetsu takes a long moment to reply - he has to blink in the face of the riot of color that is Sasori this morning. When he does speak, it's with uncharacteristic slowness.]

Sasori-san. Please. By all means. You see, I've had a-- a harvest. [He spreads his arms to indicate something of large size, nearly upending a nearby flower display.] It was. Amazing.

[He reaches into his pocket and removes a neatly-wrapped bundle, which he thrusts into Sasori's face.] You should have some.

[velvet_en_rouge]

[Sasori draws considerably closer the second Zetsu gives his consent. Suddenly, the world seems just a little brighter, just a little kinder.]

You smell amazing. [His eyes widen when Zetsu presents him with a 'gift'. He gasps. And inhales deeply.] For ... for me? I don't know what to say- [Searches pockets blindly.]

Here, take this; use it wisely.

[Itachi walks in, although he is not in his regular uniform, at all. In fact he is wear a rather stunning and elaborate kimono with a cherry tree motif, and his hair loose from its regular ponytail.

… He also smells suspiciously like sake. Or maybe that’s the bottles he is carrying. That would also account for that damn well near microscopic grin on his features. Hell, he even goes as far to greet a few people with a “Good Morning” as he passes. He doesn’t go about serving any of the customers, but rather he sits down at a table in the middle of the room that has one certain centerpiece.]

[cake_is_a_bang]

Itachi-ponpon!!!! [twirls over to Itachi's table and slips into the chair beside him]

You look pretty today, hm~

*is feeling chatty apparently, comes with the sake. XD*

[cup_of_smex]

Thank you.[Stares at Deidara for a moment, letting his eyes adjust to take in that ... that ... thing he's wearing. Although he does suppose it's pink, and therefore acceptable during the impromptu Hanami season. However he is quick to pour himself another shot of sake, since he is in no way drunk enough to not care about Deidara sitting next to him. Ugh. He could feel his filth from here.] .... You do realize you should be wearing a kimono as well. You're in the presence of a Cherry Blossom. They require the proper respect.

aha I think we did think of it, but then forgot about it xD

[cake_is_a_bang]

[looks around] What cherry blossom?

Wow, you're kimono is pink! That is so cute, yeah. I love it so much.
