Rating; R because... it's them.
Characters; Al Capone, Meyer Lansky
Summary; It's Al's birthday. Meyer decided to bring him a present. I think we all know how well that'll go.
Log;

Meyer's been accused of working all the time and of never having any fun. And of course, it doesn't escape his notice that one of his biggest accusers is Al. To be fair, Al's decidedly better at having fun than he is. In fact, he might go so far as to say that Al's excellent at having fun, whereas he himself is only middling at best.

But he's determined to change that, if only for today, because he's caught wind of the fact that it's Al's birthday. And that deserves just a little bit of indulgence, doesn't it?

So although Al may not be expecting to hear a knock on his door shortly before he'd be heading out for his shift at the casino -- if he'd intended to come in to work on his birthday at all, which Meyer's doubtful of -- he'll open the door to find Meyer standing outside of his apartment with an immaculately wrapped gift tucked under one arm, looking expectant.

Work is work and, contrary to Al's frivilous attitude on most things, he intends to keep busy for at least part of the day. The City's fine for a celebration, sure, and he has some plans of his own for his birthday, but might as well indulge in some time with the people that see him on a regular basis; besides, he can get away with one-upping his status this one day out of the year without too much room for resistance.

The door is answered quite promptly and he's still in the process of tying his tie. He stares at Meyer, not sure if he's actually physically at his door or not. Then he spots the well-dressed package and he smiles just a bit.

"That for me?"
