An Early Mardi Gras
[That was certainly...an ordeal, alright. These trials just kept getting worse and worse as time went on. Within the span of twenty-four hours, six more people died. Four of them had been friends. And Lekmet, he--he thought--
Never mind that. Everyone else was probably hurting just as bad as he was. Last week, Kim had told Louis that he shouldn't be alone while he was sad--that sympathy probably extended to everyone else. He had to do something to help. The dead deserved a decent send off.
Well, except maybe Negaduck. But that's different.
After the trial, Louis seems to have disappeared back into his room. After a few hours, though, a messy, handwritten note is shoved under everyone's door.]
(EARLY) MARDI GRAS PARTY
-JAZZ
-DRINKS AND FOOD
-FUN AND FRIENDS
[He neglected to put the location down on the invite, but one can follow the sound of Louis's trumpet into the dining room. The place has been draped with colorful, half-finished banners--gold, purple, and green. Further down the table, a few bottles of alcohol and fruit juice have been neatly lined up next to a stack of paper cups. There's also a pasta bar set up, with individual bowls of spaghetti, pasta sauce, and Parmesan cheese. Hardly Mardi Gras food, but it's the only thing Louis knows how to make. At least there's also a plate of beignets.
Standing at the back of the room is Louis, playing trumpet like his life depends on it. His repertoire for tonight? The songs he's heard while watching humans parade through New Orleans on Mardi Gras. Songs about being carefree, about forgetting your worries, about enjoying life while it lasts.
Louis doesn't seem particularly interested in talking right now. He's not going to let people mope tonight. They deserved a good fucking party after everything, dammit, and they were going to get one.]

B-but I'm still, like, super hot right?
[His voice cracks when he asks that, betraying how he's godawful at keeping his cool.]
no subject
[He actually would say a 15? But he doesn't want Marco's head to get big or anything.]
no subject
Aww, come onnnn. You're just saying that...
[What if he just... gently.. reached out and grabbed your hands to hold yeah yes this is Correct]
But in case you were wondering, I think you're at least a 12 too but like.. on a cuteness scale instead of hotness.
no subject
[No, he's not. He's like a fun-sized cuteness package that like to think he's manly.]
no subject
[wait for it]
You're adorable.
[Now it's his turn to pinch Hiro's cheeks but just one actually he'll spare you.]
