18th Rise of the Phoenix ஜ Action/Voice [Backdated to the 15th]
[To be honest, Ikki hasn't slept at all. He has stayed awake in his room, glaring at the clock as it slowly ticked away the minutes until midnight hit and with it came the official start of the new day. Another August 15th, another birthday he never expected to "enjoy", the third spent in this place which only reminds him that he's on his way to his third year in Luceti as a whole. He spends the night sulking to himself before leaving early in a poor, and probably useless, attempt to avoid Smoker and the rum cake he knows that is going to show up sooner or later for as long as possible.
He never wants to celebrate his birthday, this year isn't an exception. Selphie isn't here anymore, which is good because it means there's one less person who will know that it's his birthday, but deep inside it just bothers him that she's not here. Hyoga isn't here either, still kidnapped... Assuming that they didn't send him away while they had him, but the Cygnus cloth is still in his room after he recovered it from where Hyoga had camped so he will keep some hope and assume that he's still there somewhere.
At least he has Kotomi, except that even after confessing to her, he still doubts he deserves her or that he can do any good to her. Actually he doesn't have doubts about that, he knows he doesn't deserve her and that he can't do any good to her, but he also knows that she's in his heart too deeply for him to be able to take her out of there and not bleed completely. He may be the immortal bird, but his heart holds enough wounds as it is, he doesn't really want to kill his heart completely even if reason sometimes tells him that it would be the best option. At any rate, House #26 will have Ikki knocking at the door early in the morning, not too early for it to be a crazy time to show up but still early enough so that no one, specially Kotomi, won't have plans already.
Because of that Ikki will spend most of the day with his precious treasure, hanging around, having lunch at the Seventh Heaven... Though knowing them, they will probably end sitting somewhere with her reading to him. And by sitting somewhere it means him sitting and making her sit on his lap so he can lean his head against her shoulder and read as she does while holding her waist in a loose hug, discretion be damned... It's advised to not stare though, as the phoenix doesn't deal well with that.
Later, once Kotomi is delivered safely back to her house, just in time for dinner, Ikki will crash at the Good Spirits for a few rounds against his liver. Just so it doesn't forget the habit, you know. A few hours later, a drunk Ikki will be fumbling with his journal. Maybe next year he will remember to lock it away before he gets drunk but for now... Have a drunk message before you go to sleep Luceti, please don't mind the slur in his words.]
I bet you were thinking about how great she is and how I don't deserve her or some shit like that. Well!! I know that already. I know that I don't deserve someone as sweet and innocent as Kotomi, I know I don't deserve to be alive. But you know what? I'm screwed up, because no matter what you throw at me I just won't die, I will keep fucking returning from hell as if it was any Tuesday. And I love her. And she loves me! I don't know why or how she can do that, but she loves me. So until she stops loving me or I can finally die... What was I saying? Hey, where did the whisky go? Tch, it keeps vanishing, stupid glass. Stupid drink.
Anyway! [Pause as he tries to remember what he was saying. No really, it has left his mind.] I don't care how bad I am, or how little I deserve to live or to be with Kotomi. It just happens, I always deal with all the shit life has in for me, I take it even if I don't want it, so I'll take this too, because I want it. I love Kotomi and until she gets tired of me, you lot better stop looking at her like that, because she's my girlfriend. And you!! Shitty Malnosso, I bet you had a blast taking my sister and my friend, well, have all the fun you want, but if you touch one hair of Kotomi's precious head there won't be enough magic, divine power or whatever to save you from the hell I'll send you all to.
[ooc: You can crash into Ikki and Kotomi while they are together, just leave a note in the subject so we can both tag back.]

[He nods to himself, drunk and slurring around when he speaks.]
Even if it's by a horrible human being... Why did it came up in your conversation?
[Voice]
... The subject of couples just randomly came out, then she mentioned that.
[Voice]
You hit on her.
[Not a question, though it should be one.]
[Voice]
Is my personality really that straightforward? Well, yeah... To be fair, I didn't even know she was dating anyone.
[Voice]
Why does that make it fair? Why would it be unfair anyway? She's pretty, she's awesome, intelligent, sweet, innocent and happy, but not the happy type that ends being annoying or overwhelming. She's calm and serene, very cute and... And... She's perfect. She's like a gift after a long day of work, when you are tired, exhausted and just crawling forward, you can relax with her and recover. Of course you would hit on her. Anyone with a brain would do it.
[Drinking another glass in one go.]
But if you do more than that I'll hit you and give you nightmares for the rest of your life.
[Said veeery seriously... And very drunkly.]
[Voice]
[There's a little chuckle to come out from him. Love is a bizarre thing, he thinks.] But yeah, I got it. Believe it or not, I have my own limits and standards when it comes to women.
[Voice]
[Being drunk won't stop him! It will just make his words be slurred and harder to understand.]
Standards. Sure. Bet being pretty and with big breasts is one of them.

[That's a drunk Ikki not knowing exactly what he's being asked and thus going into "find it out yourself" mode.]
