Tea Party

kokuchou:

To Tori, the day started out just right. It was her first time to have to spend her birthday confined in a tennis camp, but she supposed it was alright, since she was with her sister. Everything was always alright when she was with her sister.

For their birthday, the twins had decided on hosting a tea party in the camp’s lounge. The two tried their very best to make the lounge look a little bit cozier than usual, and get the right atmosphere that was just suitable enough for a tea party.

After a while, Tori had gotten tired and ended up flopping down on one of the seats, letting her twin do the rest of the work.

“I’m sorry I’m making you do so much, Touko,” Tori apologized. It wasn’t like she meant to get tired— she just was.

Tori grabbed a package she had sneaked into the lounge and put under one of the tables when she had entered and she offered it to Touko.

“It’s not much,” Tori said, holding out the package for her sister to take. Inside was a CD with her sister’s previous recital pieces burned onto it. “But happy birthday, Touko!”

“It’s alright,” Touko said fixing the last few table napkins on the table. “I enjoy doing these things anyway. You know that, Oneesama.” She smiled as she fixed the last one neatly in its place, then made her way to sit next to her sister.

There was a light blush on her cheeks when Tori handed her a present, neatly wrapped in her favorite color. “Thank you, Oneesama,” she beamed, clapping her hands together. She gave her sister a big hug before taking the present.

“I have something for you, too,” she said a little shyly. She pulls out a smaller box, wrapped neatly and topped with a ribbon from her pocket. “I hope you  like it,” she said as she handed it to her sister. She’d picked it months back, planning ahead. It was so hard to keep it from her sister and everyone else who might be curious, but at least it seemed her efforts weren’t wasted! “Happy birthday!”
