{This is set a year after the desk set scene in the movie}

"Mail for a Todd Anderson" Called a random student that was in charge of mail for that day.

Today was the one day of the entire year that Todd dreaded, his birthday. He hated being the center of attention. Yes the dead poets helped him break out of his shell but he still doesn't love all eyes on him. This was by far the worst part of his day, having to receive the package that his parents gave .1% thought into. Nonetheless he slowly walked over to gather the package that would most likely end up under his bed until his departure in May.

The unopened package ended up on his desk while he headed to his classes for the day. As his boring math and science classes passes, there was only one class on his mind, English with Mr. Keating or, oh captain my captain, as he preferred. There was many perks to this class, his brilliant teacher, learning new actually interesting things, and his favorite perk, Neil was in it. The boy that started out has his roommate turned into his best friend and now in Todd's mind his outrageously huge crush. He knew that nothing could ever happen but there was no harm in thinking.

Or daydreaming.

Or actually dreaming.

Even English went by in a birthday fog. Next thing he knew he ended up in the same position as the year before, on a bridge with his package still unopened.

"Happy birthday!" Said Neil approaching the depressed Todd sitting on the ground.

"You remembered?" Questioned Todd butterflies jumping off the walls in his stomach.

"Of course how could I forget the day that the first unmanned flying desk set took his first flight." Answered Neil with a smile that practically melted Todd.

"Well, do you want to do the honors?" Asked Todd handing Neil the package.

"It's your birthday"

"How about we do it together?" Todd suggested.

"Deal" Both of them pulled back the wrapping to reveal the desk set for the 3rd year in a row. Todd laughed to try and cover up his disappointment in his parents. Neil not being stupid saw right through it.

"Well I told you you didn't have to worry." Neil offered to try to cheer Todd up. "You know what?"

"What?" Todd said numbly.

"I think it's time for a second flight."

"You think?" Neil handed Todd the new desk set that he gladly took and yeated off the side of the bridge.

"I have a better present"

"That is impossible, nothing can beat that" Todd laughed.

His laugh was cut short by Neil's lips suddenly on his. After what felt like hours and seconds at the same time they both pulled away.

"Your right, that was better" Said Todd still trying to process what just happened.

"You'll get another one next year"
