Lancelot was talking with Bedivere when he opened the door to his and Raikou's house.

"So that's when I said-" the story died on Lancelot's lips when he saw the state of his living room, "I am a dead man!"

"Well that escalated quickly." Bedivere murmured as he stepped over the threshold.

"No,no,no,no." Lancelot moaned as he took in all the various decorations that had been streamed across every surface. Hanging from the roof were paper rings, tinsel, and tissue jack-o-lanterns. The walls were decorated with posters of the Easter bunny, tailless donkey's, Rainbows, there was a Christmas tree in the corner and the table had a heart shaped box and a cornucopia.

"Why are you freaking out?" Bedivere asked his friend.

"The decorations Bedivere!" Lancelot gestured in a way that suggested Bedivere should have understood, "Raikou must have put these up."

"So what's the problem?"

"I don't know what we're celebrating!" Lancelot explained, his voice becoming slightly unhinged. "Is it a birthday? Anniversary? The Olympics? I can't keep track of all these happy occasions."

The purple haired man buried his face in his hands and flopped back on the sofa, disrupting several balloons that were tied to the pillows. Bedivere edged his way closer to try and comfort his friend.

"C'mon, let's just look at the decorations, I'm sure we can figure it out."

Lancelot's face snapped up and he ppointed his finger at the other man, "You don't know her, she is diabolical, she makes it impossible for me to use any context clues." He reached out and grabbed something that had been wedged between the sofa and the side table. "Just look at this sign."

It just said 'YAY' in block letters.

"Well, let's just stay calm." Said Bedivere who, bless his heart, was still trying to be helpful. "So we've got balloons, chocolates, and-" He was cut off when he found himself being hit in the face by "-a piniata. Oh she's good."

"Right?" Lancelot did seem to be calming down now that Bedivere was getting on his level.

Bedivere jerked his thumb at the corner, "Well I think we can rule out Christmas."

"We rule out nothing!" Lancelot snapped.

Bedivere gawped, "But it's the middle of-"

"We rule out nothing!"

Their argument might have gone on for who knows how long, but it was swiftly ended by a chillingly calm and friendly voice.

"Hello dear."

Lancelot sprang to his feet, both men twisted their heads around, the hairs on the backs of their necks jumping up, to see Minamoto no Raikou emerging from the kitchen.

"Hello... sweetheart." Lancelot floundered.

"I've been waiting for you." Raikou smiled. As she spoke she slowly spinning the paper windmill in her hands. "I see you brought Bedivere over."

"I did?" Lancelot looked over his shoulder to see Bedivere frozen in place, looking pale. "I did."

"Do you think it's appropriate to have guests over tonight?" She asked, stepping closer and closer.

"He can leave." Lancelot offered, pushing the blonde towards the door, the blonde all too eager to leave.

But then Raikou said, "Or is he the first of many guests to be arriving this evening?"

Lancelot immediately grabbed the back of Bedivere's collar, jerking the man to a stop. He looked back at Raikou, trying to gauge her reaction, she didn't so much as arch an eyebrow, she simply puffed out a breath of air onto the windmill, making it spin madly. Then he felt a hand wrap around his wrist, he looked back to see Bedivere breaking free of his grip.

"I'm going to leave you now." The blonde whispered, "Not because I think it will help. I'm just scared." And with that he fled out the door. Lucky bastard.

Now that they were alone, Lancelot tried to move around the living room to avoid Raikou's gaze. But she followed close behind him.

"So what's the plan for tonight?" She asked sweetly.

"Dinner." He answered quickly.

"Arra, arra," She laughed, "Shall we go out or stay in?"

"In."

"What were you thinking, Pizza? Candle lit dinner? Or this cake?" Reaching into the cornucopia on the table she pulled out a small cake with the words 'Happy Day' written in lavender frosting.

Lancelot could feel himself breaking into a sweat. "On second thought let's go out."

Suddenly Raikou was right behind him, he felt her hands come down on his shoulders, massaging them in a way that only made him tenser. "Where should we go? A burger joint or Marie's saloon."

A light bulb went off in Lancelot's head, "Emiya's grill."

Her nails scratched him just a little. "A place that can pass for both fancy and casual, touche."

Her hands moved away from his shoulders as she moved around to his side, he could still feel the tips of her fingers through his shirt. "Will anyone be meeting us there?"

"I thought it would be nicer with just the two of us." Raikou hugged him a little for that.

"Will there be a gift exchange? Or will one of us just be giving a gift to the other?"

Lancelot swallowed and tried to grab a good line out of the spiral that was his mind. "I... only desire the gift of your company, my love. But if you feel different-"

Raikou leaned her head against his shoulder, "No, no, that's very sweet." She leaned her lips close to his ear and whispered, "And very ambiguous."

Lancelot maneuvered himself out of her grasp and moved for the door, "Shall we go?"

Raikou fixed him with a narrowed eyes and an unnerving smile, "Just one last question. What are we celebrating?"

There was more than one god in chaldea, and Lancelot prayed for each and every one of them to smite him down in that moment. "... You don't know?"

Lancelot reluctantly turned around to look back at Raikou, only to find she was suddenly an inch away from him.

"I didn't say I don't know, I asked of you knew."

He was backed into a corner with no escape. Aw to hell with it, if this was to be his end he might as well face it fearlessly.

"Fine! You want to hear me say it? I have no idea what is special about today!" He stomped back into the room, batting balloons out of his way as he did so.

"It's not out anniversary! It's nobody' birthday, half-birthday or graduation day! Neither of us got an award or a promotion, or adopted a Nobu today! You're not pregnant- you're not pregnant are you?"

Raikou shook her heasd to his relief, and he continued his rant.

"You're not pregnant! And I would go so far as to say there is not a single holiday in the multiverse that is observed on this day!" Lancelot brought a hand up to his face to mop the sweat from his brow. "Hell, the closest thing I can think of is next week, when we celebrate the anniversary of when we got a joint Netflix account... Which is one I actually really support."

With that Lancelot flopped back onto the couch, the air rushing out of his body as a strange sense of relief came over him. He closed his eyes, awaiting his doom, but all he felt was Raikou taking a seat next to him.

He sighed again, "So, let me have it, what did I forget?"

"Nothing."

Lancelot's eyes snapped open and he saw Raikou smiling at him, not the terrifying one, the genuine smile that made you feel secure and loved.

"You didn't forget anything." Raikou said, wrapping an arm around his middle and nuzzling her head against his neck, cuddling close.

"Then what's..." Still flabbergasted, he could only motion to their decorated surroundings.

"Oh, I just put all this up to scare you as punishment for putting an empty milk carton back in the fridge." She laughed, "But I'm really impressed, by telling me how today's not special you've proven you remember everything that is important to our relationship. I'm so proud of you." She told him with a kiss on the cheek. "We'll have to celebrate this next year."
