Aged Perfection Pt. 1 (Spain)

Your POV:

You woke up earlier than Antonio, which was unusual since he usually beat you to it. It was your birthday, and you wanted to finish work at your flower shop before the day officially began. Antonio always spoiled you on your birthday, so you expected nothing but the best this year too. You started by watering the flower pots displayed on the window sills, watching as the sun rose over the horizon and its rays shone through the shop windows.

The day has officially begun.

You took a deep breath, thankfully for another day.

Though, the backdoor flinging open interrupted that moment of peace.

"(Y/n)! My beloved!" Antinto sang, coming inside the establishment.

"Good morning, Toni-." You smile, and without warning, he sweeps you off your feet and spins around happily in circles across the room while in his broad arms.

"Good morning indeed!" He expressed, stopping before neither of you two got too dizzy. He huffs and grins at you. "How's the birthday girl doing?"

"Alive, well, and grateful to wake up to see your handsome face~." You say with a blush.

"That's what I like to hear. Did you think you'd escape me this time?" 

You sigh, then chuckle. "It was worth a try. So, what do you have planned?"

Antonio sets you down carefully and gently. "Lots of things, dear. And whenever you're ready to go, say the word."

You nod. "Okay! I'll finish a few things here, and then we can have breakfast to start whatever you have stored for us."

"Sounds like a plan!

"Are you sure you want to go to a carnival? There are other places with games and rides and ones that are much," He paused. "Cleaner?" Antonio suggested kindly, remembering how many bodily fluids could be found at these events.

You shook your head in response. "Nope, this is the place I want. Trust me, Toni. I love these places, and it is my birthday, after all." You giggle at him with puppy dog eyes until the man feels reassured.

"Alright, whatever the princess wants, I'll provide." Antonio says, gripping your hand tightly as you two walk to the carnival that arrived in the city about a few days back. "And when the time comes, I got a surprise for you~."

You smirk at his comment. "Is that so? I'll have to make the day go by quicker then~."

"Don't rush the time we'll have to spend here, chica. It is your day, after all." Antonio says, bopping your nose. "With that being said, what do you want to do first?"

You contemplated your options as you observed the people around you enjoying their time with loved ones, including the numerous couples like you and Antonio. Although you weren't hungry, you felt pressed for time and wanted to maximize your experience. It felt like time was slipping away like water through your fingers. 

"To kick your butt in all the games!" You say confidently. 

He's slightly shocked and then chuckles in a cocky tone. "Don't think I'll go easy on you because you're my wife, and it's your birthday." 

"I expect nothing less."

Jumping from throwing dull darts at balloons with all your strength, fishing for fake fish, horse racing with other strangers, having terrible at ring toss, and barely filling the mark with water guns, your winning streak was less than pleasing. 

"This was supposed to be my lucky day..." You sulk while taking a large bite out of your churro funnel cake. 

Antonio watched and listened to your cries, having his winning prizes mounted on his back. "(Y/n), don't say that! I won all these for you, mi amor (my love)!"

You took a deep breath. "I know, and I appreciate it, Toni. But I'm just a sore loser." You chuckle to set the man's nerves at ease. 

Antonio snorts and then laughs. "You sure know how to pull heartstrings, don't you?" 

You grin and let him take the final bite of the cake as a thank you. 

Once you both completed your activities, you decided to take one final spin on the ferris wheel before the day ended and the sun began to set. The day flew by quickly, but that's to be expected when enjoying yourself with your significant other. 

During the ride, you and Antino chatted and enjoyed the view until the wheel stopped at the very top. The sun shone its last rays of orange and pink, then slowly dipped down to the other side and waited for its counterpart. 

"Beautiful..." You say, gazing at the scene. 

"Absolutely..." Anotnio comments, staring at you.

"Thank you for today. I had lots of fun despite certain outcomes." You pout for a brief moment. "It's the experiences that count, right?"

The man nods happily, wiggling around in his seat. 

You see, he's holding something in his hands behind his back beside the mountain of prizes. "What are you hiding, Toni?" 

He sighs, and his head hangs low. "I'm that obvious, huh?"

You laugh softly. "Yes, hon. So, what is it you want to show me?" 

Antonio whips out a wooden basket filled to the brim with goodies that he managed to hide until now. How he did it will forever remain a mystery, but you weren't complaining. "Your official birthday gift!" He hands it to you and claps his hands. "Go ahead." 

You dig in and are met with an assortment of gifts.

Besides the fresh flowers, practically overflowing the surrounding base came with various special-grade gardening tools, a bottle of sweet-scented perfume, and a gorgeous long floral dress, which you've had your eyes set on for a while now. 

"Oh, Toni..." You whisper, setting aside the basket next to you and glomp the man tightly. "Thank you so much!" His face buried in your chest. Though, he wasn't complaining.

"You're very welcome, (Y/n)!" His muffled voice filled with joy. "May you be blessed with many more years to come!"
