Open Post: Who invented this calendar anyway?

How unfortunate.

Yes, Grantaire was fully aware that the year being longer at the mansion would logically cause seasons to drift when someone kept track of the old calendar, or at least what had been pinned down as the old calendar for convenience sake, which was almost necessary when people's arrivals weren't necessarily tied to the day they left. He hadn't given it too much thought last year, when his birthday, such that it was, arrived in spring like he was used to.

Dark, though, was unfortunate. Not inappropriate for the next notable anniversary coming up, but for this one, not at all. Of course, it wasn't as if he would have been planning much in the way of an event, Dark or no, but it would have been nice to treat himself to something or other, regardless.

Instead, he has installed himself in the game room, where he is carefully balancing dominoes on their ends to make a domino rally on the billiards table. It's a nice large flat surface, so it should work nicely. Have to keep entertained somehow.

"Yes, exactly." He kisses him again. "Ooh, what are we thinking for colors?"

"Perfect." He writes that down in his notebook too.

He sets the notebook down and leans over to give Grantaire a slow and warm kiss, running his fingers through his hair.

"That's not a bad idea," he says, his mouth drifting to Grantaire's neck.

"I'll use a permanent marker," he says, his lips barely leaving Grantaire's skin.

He makes a sort of affirmative noise as he goes back to Grantaire's neck.
