Grimmjow darted around the restaurant and bar that had been closed for the day so everyone could set up for the surprise party Grimmjow was organizing for Shuhei putting up decorations and places the different foods out on tables for people to snack on.

Shearia had cleared all the tables from one huge area and set up a dance floor along with a DJ set up which Kurosogi would be manning while Shearia manned the bar once everyone arrived.

About an hour later everything was set and now he was simplying waiting for everyone to get there so he could text Shuhei that he needed help at Dulce Deseo and fast.

Misaki hurried as fast as she could. She didn't want to be late for the surprise party. After all, it would be terrible if she was late. She was supposed to be Shuhei's best friend. The last thing she wanted was to be late for a friend.

She slammed open the doors of Dulce Deseo. "I'm so sorry I'm late!" she cried, "I was trying to help find some puppies homes so they wouldn't suffer by themselves without anyone to care for them!"

Grimmjow raised a brow at Misa before shaking his head. "You're not late...For once..." He mumbled the last part and ushered her inside.

Misaki blinked. And again. And again. "I'm not?" she asked in disbelief, "I'm not... late?"

"Nope, now get in here." He growled lightly.

She cheered. "OHMIGOD! I'M NOT LATE FOR ONCE!" She skipped into the room and continued to quietly chant 'I wasn't late for once! I wasn't late for once!"

Tsukimi casually walked into Dulce Deseo. She brought a gift with her, it was the nicest thing to do since it was Shuhei's birthday. Tsukimi looked exhausted from the heat.

Looking at Grimmjow, she held up her present that was for Shu. "Where can I put this present...? And where is like the ice bar or something if I may ask. Sorry, the heat is really pushing my attitude at the moment." Tsukimi was glad that she was able to have a nice break from everything, and just chill and celebrate stuff with others.

Arashi and Hariken popped up on Tsukimi's shoulders. They just stayed silent since they really felt unwelcomed.

Grimmjow pointed off to the side where his present for Shuhei sat in the corner. "And Your dragons can hang out by the bar with Fang and ash" he said pointing to the two kittens wrestling on the bar top.

The dragons joined Fang and Ash, they just watched the kittens fight.

Tsukimi walked over to the corner and placed her present down right beside where Grimm placed his down. Looking at the blue haired man she sighed "I Apologize in advance if anything happens by an accident. Also, sorry for bringing Arashi, and Hariken I didn't know where Kurosogi was so I just decided to bring them with me just to be safe" Tsukimi then made her way to the bar and just got some plain ice cold water. Sipping it she felt relieved.

"So how many more people are coming that I should know about?" She asked.

"Lets see, Kurosogi was going to pick up ice cream from a new ice cream parlor, Rayne's out grabbing the tings Shearia wanted to give Shuhei as a present, Orihime should be here soon, Renji's coming, I don't know with byakuya is but Shearia invited him and I think that's it." Grimmjow replied.

Tsukimi clued in on what Grimmjow said about the ice cream parlor and Kurosogi. "Well I hope he finds everything he needs I guess, I've never been there before, but I keep hearing about it. So, I'll just have to go there sometime" she sighed once she heard Rayne's name. Tsukimi didn't feel like ever being near that guy again, but since it was a special occasion; She will just shrug off any negative emotions about people and just try to have fun for the better. "Well that's a nice amount of people, I guess everyone is going to have some fun...Since its a party after all"

Tsukimi dipped her head down looking at the floor kind of ashamed of herself '...it would be better if I knew the other people better..I get so nervous meeting someone new..' she thought. Noticing her actions she just shook her head and smiled trying to brush off her negative attitude.

Soon Rayne and everyone else had arrived and Grimmjow texted "Shuhei I need help Kurosogi's drunk and is going nuts!" his lover after telling everyone to hid and turned the lights off. Hiding himself closest to the lights he waited with the others.

Renji had brought Annie to the party with him. She'd been excited about the whole thing when She found out what Grimmjow had planned.

Shuhei got the text from Grimmjow, feeling a little worry biting at the back of his mind. Why would he text me about this? He can handle Kurosogi far better than I can. Dismissing this wonder, he headed over as quickly as he could, opening the door and stepping in before he even noticed how dark it was. His defenses were up and he automatically looked around, feeling his eyes adjusting to the darkness. He felt alarm when he realized how many different energies were surrounding him, but he wasn't able to identify any in the brief time before the lights came on and he was frozen in shock.

"Happy Birthday Shu!" Grimmjow exclaimed along with everyone else as he jumped out from his finding place, wrapping his lover in a strong embrace. "Ya like it?" He asked pulling back from Shuhei so the other man could move.

Shuhei felt his surprise calm a little as Grimmjow embraced him and he allowed his eyes to scan the many familiar faces around him. The more people he recognized, the bigger his grin became until he turned to his lover and pulled him into an appreciative kiss. "This is the best! I love it!" He turned his wide grin to the room, looking over all the decorations and he couldn't help the build up of excitement and elation in his chest. "This is amazing! Thank you!"

Tsukimi was the only one not to jump out. Instead she just walked out of her hiding place and just waved "Happy birthday Shuhei I hope its going to be a fun one" she said with a hint of nervousness, since Tsukimi really didn't know anyone else well enough to socialize. Looking around the room, she just laughed "Okay, are we all going to just like stand here like idiots or are we going to party?"

Shuhei laughed at his friend, clearly seeing her discomfort. "I'm sure we'll all have fun, even the people that don't usually get along with each other." He gave a glance to Rayne. "Celebrations are supposed to spread good feelings, so I'm sure we can find a way for everyone to have a good time." He moved closer so he could speak quietly to her. "You don't have to push yourself to sociolize, okay?"
