-Destiny's POV-

Today was my birthday, I didn't wanna make a big deal about it, but I'm surrounded by people on a tour with my brother.

Oh yeah, I guess I forgot to clarify, The rest of Sleeping With Sirens has their own bus, same goes for Pierce The Veil. They don't really come around much.

Anyways, I know Kellin, and I know he's gonna make a big deal about this.

I fell asleep in Emerson's arms again, which means I wound up in Emerson's bunk, which is extremely inconvenient for what was about to happen

I was awoken by the bunk curtain opening.

"Hey. Hey. Hey. Destiny. It's your birthday, wake up" Kellin spoke and I got up quietly

"Kellin! Shut the fuck up! I really don't wanna make a big deal out of this" I spoke and I felt Emerson sit up next to me

Fuck

"Make a big deal out of what?" He spoke and I sighed.

"Her birthday, it's today" Kellin spoke and I just placed my head in my hands

"Kellin, can you give us a few minutes?" Emerson spoke and I heard Kellin walk away.

"Destiny, love. Look at me" He spoke and I sat up.

He pulled me back towards him, meeting me cuddle with him.

"Happy birthday my love" He spoke, kissing the top of my head softly

"Can we please not make a big deal out of this?" I spoke and he pulled me closer

"Whatever makes your heart happy" He spoke, cuddling me close.

I've always hated my birthday.

Kellin and I are siblings, and we're almost the same age, I'm just a year and a few days younger.

What I'm getting at is that we don't share a birthday.

Anyways, I've always hated my birthday. Because I'm younger my mom never wanted to celebrate my birthday, we'd celebrate all of Kellin's birthdays with the family, and then when my birthday rolled around we would never do anything, because I wasn't good enough for her. Kellin would always buy a little cake and we'd share it, and if we were on tour we'd go out to dinner. He's the best.

I just don't like celebrating with a lot of people.

"Is it someones birthday?" Remington spoke, sliding open the curtain

"Yes, but we're not making it a big deal, you hear me?" Emerson spoke and Remington sighed

"I know, that's fine with me, but I think someone should've told Kellin that before he told everyone" He spoke and I felt myself tense up.

I sat up and looked at Remington

"God damnit. I did tell Kellin that." I spoke before sliding out of the bunk and finding Kellin

"Really? Everyone? You told everyone? You know I don't like my birthday!" I shouted and he just stared at me for a minute.

"I know, but just this once? It's just dinner reservations. I promise, nothing big, we won't even tell them it's your birthday if you don't want" He spoke and I just sighed

"Okay. I love you" I spoke and he smiled

"I love you too, now go enjoy your birthday however you want" He spoke and I found my way back to Emerson's bunk.

-Time skip-

Kellin made reservations for a nice italian place up the road, we were all just gonna take the Palaye bus up there and go from there.

-Time Skip-

We arrived at the restaurant and walked in.

We ordered our food and talked until it came.

We ate and payed and before I knew it we were all back on the bus

"Okay, I didn't wanna do this in there because I was asked not to, but we got you presents" Kellin spoke and I felt the embarrassment coming on.

"Okay..." I spoke and a bunch of bags and boxes were placed in front of me

I opened up new camera lenses, including an extended lens that Kellin got me, and finally I went to grab the gift from Emerson and he stopped me.

"Is everything okay?" I spoke and he smiled, kissing me softly.

"I love you" He spoke and I smiled, opening the bag which had another box inside of it

"What are these?" I spoke, opening the box to find rings with my birthstone on them.

"Promise rings" He spoke and took one out of the box, sliding it onto his own finger before taking the other one out and taking my hand.

"Forever and always, ma cherie" he spoke before kissing me softly.

Everyone went back to their respective busses and we all went to sleep, we had a busy off day at the beach tomorrow.
