Duo watched with amusement as Quatre's face turned deep red while the waitresses at Rosie's sang 'Happy Birthday' to him. He suspected his friend didn't know whether to laugh or turn around and slug him. He turned at winked at Wufei, who seemed to be trying his best not to smile. The last three days stuck on a shuttle with the one pilot he could never really seem to get through to was hard, but he was glad for the opportunity. In between arguments and Wufei telling him off for talking to much, they had actually had some good conversations, and he seemed to have broken through the Solitary Dragon's exterior.
Then again, watching Wufei sitting back away from the commotion, maybe he had only scratched the surface.
Quatre's rueful laughter brought his attention back to the present, and grinned at his friend from across the table. "I can't believe you did this, Duo," Quatre said, his face still red from embarrassment.
"Well, I figured you hadn't really had a night out on the town with the guys before. Everyone should do that from time to time. Besides, how often does your friend turn 21?" He paused as Quatre's smile lost a bit shine, and he quickly changed the subject. "Now, I know you've been working hard, so you need to relax. Look, we even got you a cake!" Sheequa, one the regular waitresses who'd been trying to catch his eye ever since he started coming here, came forth with a big white cake. On top of the cake was a yellow happy face, the kind he used to see on old vids from years ago. Quatre just shook his head. "You really shouldn't have done this, Duo."
Duo simply placed his hand on Quatre's shoulder and looked him directly in the eye. "Now, if you really mean that, we'll take ya home. That's not a problem. But you gotta look me in the eye and tell me you really don't want to take the night off."
Quatre sighed, finally giving in. "OK, you win. I'll be good."
"That's exactly what you're not supposed to be tonight!" Duo laughed as he handed him the knife to cut the cake.
