fissionmailed | Happy Birthday to you~

[Not only was it New Years Eve in the Nexus, but it was also a certain someone's birthday. Ocelot had spent his time preparing for the event on the rooftops for a few days now and he was finally happy with the end result.]

[Green balloons were wrapped around the railings, and there was a huge buffet table set out, along with the grill to cook the various assortment of meat (yes, that included snakes and treefrogs for any of the younger versions of Big Boss around). He had a little help from a particular individual to hunt down said species, but it was worth it in the end.]

[If snake-meat wasn't to your liking, there also happened to be a various selection of 'party' food, too. Potato chips, sausages, cupcakes, cheese, crackers, anything and everything to suit the tastes of all individuals. There was a cooler for beer, but also some fizzy cola out for any of the younger kids that decide to come by.]

[Ocelot had even decided to put up a banner congratulating the birthdate of Big Boss, and demanded people who turned up to bring presents, or food.]

[Of course, in the center of the table was a massive cake for the lucky birthday boys.]

_{((ooc: Any Big Boss that celebrates their birthday today, this is for you. 8D))}

...

[He never did before. It was never made to be important to him. In fact, he can barely remember the date.]

I didn't. I never have...until today.

You can learn how to do that now then. I didn't celebrate mine until I got here.

[He points to the cake.] Look at that! It's all for you.

That cake?

It's pretty big. It's meant to be shares, is it not?

That's up to you to decide.

[He licks his lips.]

I think that it should be shared.

[He pats his little Son on his shoulder.] Want a slice?

You'd really let me have a slice?

[He licks his lips again; it DID look very tempting. But part of him couldn't help pondering if this was a test.]

... If I say 'no', will you still give me a slice?

...

[He looks the boy over. He could stand to eat a bit more.]

Yes.

[:9]

Then no~

[He goes to grab himself a napkin and a fork.]

[He just shakes his head and starts cutting the boy a large piece of the cake...]

Thanks, dad.

[His eyes widen at the portion of the cake.] Woah... This is huge.

[It warms his heart to hear his Son actually refer to him with that title. It feels better than any other title he's ever held...]

Eat.

[He pats his kid on the shoulder.]

[Using his fork, David gently slices a bit off and lifts it to his lips, taking a bite. He chewed for a considerable amount of time, before grinning in approval.]

Hnnh~! It's really good~

Good. Have as much as you like.

[He smiles, feeling content to just watch his kid eat.]

[He's quite prepared to stuff his face if needbe. He licks his lips and chews the cake contently.]

[He watches the boy enjoy himself.]

...

[After a few moments he looks back to the table, contemplating getting something to eat.]

[It doesn't take long for David to finish his delicious slice. He laps his lips and rests the plate down, before planting his hands on Big Boss' back to encourage him towards the table.]

Your turn.
