A birthday surprise

Who: Lea, Isa, and their friends. If you think that means you, it probably does.
Where: The school dining hall
When: Mid afternoon, late January, on a day with no classes
What: It's Isa's birthday, and Lea has a surprise for him

In the dining hall, part of one of the long tables had been covered by a light-blue tablecloth, with places set for a number of people. Not a huge number- Lea knew Isa well enough to know that he wouldn't like that- but enough for all their friends he'd invited. And he had invited all their friends, old and new (or at least his, their mutual ones, and as many of Isa's as he knew about).

Why? Because Lea wasn't about to allow the first proper birthday his best friend had had in more than a decade with out some sort of celebration. It wasn't anything fancy, but it was still nice. And he knew that Isa would love the surprise he had planned. Well the party itself was technically a surprise too, but only to Isa. He'd told everyone he'd invited what was up, but had just instructed Isa to meet him in the dining hall at the appropriate time.

Everything was set up, including the cake; a simple sheet cake at one end of the cloth covered area, decorated with blue and yellow sprinkles, and with 'Happy birthday Isa!' written on it in blue frosting. This was gonna be great. Now the only thing to do was wait for Isa and their friends to arrive.

It's not all that long before Isa joins up with Lea at the meeting place.

"What's all this?" He asks Lea in surprise, he knew this was going to be for his birthday, but he had been expecting this to just be the two of them.

What's hard to miss, however, is that Isa's hair is now considerably shorter than it was the last time Lea saw him, barely brushing his shoulders instead of cascading down his back.

He sighs, he has to concede to Lea's logic, "I guess even someone like me needs a party once in a while."

The complement, though, catches him off guard, mainly in how much it leaves him feeling flustered.

"You think so? It's not too short?"
