Koreoke, Washington DC, Saturday Night

[spin_kick_snap]

Sure, some people were busy fighting rampaging snow monsters and stuff today. But for those who were friends with Kathy and Dante, they had another option available to them: Kathy's 21st birthday party!

Their venue for the evening was Koreoke, a Korean barbeque restaurant that doubled as a karaoke bar. Kathy had rented out the back room for her party, which included three long barbeque tables, a stage with up to four microphones (in case of boy bands and group numbers), and a bartender along the far wall to serve drinks all night until last call.

Because if turning twenty-one wasn't a good reason to stuff yourself full of grilled meat (well, veggies and tofu in Kathy's case), get drunk, and sing your heart out to the largest selection of karaoke tracks Kathy had ever seen in one place, then what was?!

[Up VERY early for SP because holidays are a THING (and so are BDEs). Open to pretty much anyone who is/was Kathy's friend (or Dante's friends that Kathy also knows)!]

"Not sure, but doubtful." He was wrong of course, but he didn't know yet how easily he could be persuaded to change his mind.

He dropped another kiss on her skin, this time behind her ear. "I tend to leave that to Dante. He was offended when he found out music isn't really my scene, you know." No, that wasn't really what had happened.

"I love music, an' singing to m' cats, but I ain't no siren," she joked, because come on, that pun was just sitting there waiting to be used. "Lullabies for Waffle being th' exception."

"You want me t' sing along in public, there needs t' be a lot more booze first."

"And how much lying with alcoholic refreshments would it take, d'you think," Ezra asked merrily, "to get you to sing just to little old me at the end of this evening?"

"I mean, if'n that's part of what you'd like for your birthday," Ada promised impishly, "I bet you can find some way t' convince me."

That last kiss behind her ear had hit her scales, and she did have a lot of mistletoe they could play with.

Good. He'd been aiming for her scales, for one thing. "Not just some way but several, I'm sure," he murmured. Then he paused and sort of hummed with his nose buried in her hair, before he said, just a fraction more softly, "I'm so happy you're here, darling."

Did he want a verbal response to that? Ada just hummed softly, but the arms around his waist got a tighter for a moment.

"Same," she replied, real warmth in her voice. "I ain't spent near enough time with you lately."

Things like Snapchats or texts didn't count as real-time. They were nice, but she'd missed him.

"Maybe next year we throw you a party; let you wear your rightful crown in all your glory."

"Maybe," Ezra replied. His fingers continued to play with her hair, burying themselves in it - but still careful and skillful enough not to jostle the mistletoe. (Too much, anyway.) "But someone better get me an actual crown, otherwise I'm not doing it."
