Description: Seeing Finn upset about not being able to go home for St. Patrick's Day causes you to throw him a little celebration of your own.

This was meant to be put out on St. Patrick's Day but I forgot.

Humming as you walk downstairs to the lounge after dressing for the day you smile spotting your boyfriend sat on the couch on his phone.

"Good morning handsome, what got you out of bed so early this morning?"

"Mornin love, couldn't really sleep more so I decided ta come down so I wouldn't wake ye or nuthin."

Walking over and sitting down beside him frowning as he sighs looking glumly at the screen.

"What's wrong?"

"Missin my folks is all, with the pandemic M'missin out on celebrating St. Patrick's Day with them and just in general. I got a few pictures of my nieces and nephews all dressed up for a party."

"Awe I'm sorry Finn I really wish there was something I could do to make you feel better baby."

Hugging him you press a kiss to the top of his head as he rests his head on your chest, a hand on your hip rubbing the strip of exposed skin.

"It's not yer fault mo grá but thank you for being concerned."

Finn kisses your temple setting his phone beside him on the cushion as you continue to rub his back.

"Why don't you go and do a facetime call with your family for a while? Maybe it'll help make you feel better and while you do that I have some grocery shopping I need to get done."

"Yer sure love?"

"Yes otherwise I wouldn't have suggested it, go on now I'll see you in a few hours."

Kissing him softly you shoo him upstairs while you finish getting ready and grab your keys going out to the car. You had a plan formulating in your mind and you hope that you would be able to pull it off without him getting suspicious.

The next 2 hours you spend getting a few groceries for his favorite meals and to bake some sweets. Then you go about gathering things to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with Finn. Thankfully American stores really went all out with decorations. Sure they were pretty corny but you hoped it would bring a smile to his face. Then tossing anything you could really think of that represented his home country you pay for everything and head home.

You'd have to hide the bags until tomorrow and hopefully he would really like it.

The next morning you wake up checking your phone. March 17th. Finn had left for the gym already so you could work in peace. Doing your morning routine then going downstairs you grab the bags and begin decorating. You managed to get everything up rather quickly then go into the kitchen to start his favorite breakfast. When you finally have everything set up the car pulls into the driveway. You made it without a moment to spare.

Grabbing a necklace the said Irish Prince, seriously these always made you laugh. Standing by the door smiling when he opens it.

"Happy St. Patrick's Day love of my life."

Finn looks at you with surprise on his face watching as the necklace went over his head. Chuckling as he read it and pressed a kiss to you lips lightly.

"Thank you darlin, what's all dis fer?"

"Because you've been sad lately not being able to go home to see your family. I know how much you miss them, and wish you could be there to celebrate today with them. So I thought maybe you and I could have a little celebration here and facetime them. I texted everyone yesterday and they're all going to be at your parents house to facetime."

You smile as he wraps his arms around you tightly.

"I love you baby so much thank you."

Finn says eyes closed for a moment as he takes this all in, he couldn't believe that you actually did all this for him.

"And I love you my Irish Prince now go shower and get changed into some comfy clothes. Breakfast is ready, then we got some movies to watch and treats to bake."

Letting him go you smile watching him quickly make his way upstairs to get changed. It may not seem like a huge gesture to a lot of people throwing up some decorations and making food. But to Finn the whole day was a reminder of how much you love and care for him. It was one of the best St. Patrick's Days he had celebrated in a long time. He was hoping that next year the two of you could go to his home and celebrate there. He was lucky to have you, he had the luck of the Irish.
