happy birthday (d.r.) (requested)

(A/N: This oneshot was requested by kimonokatt. Happy belated birthday! Sorry it took so long! I hope you like it! The title is actually a reference to the song of the same name by New Kids on the Block. Now, on with the oneshot! Thanks!!)

       For my birthday, my boyfriend, Dwayne, took me to a new restaurant that had just opened. It was kind of fancy but it was still a popular spot among kids our age for dates. The food was good and it was reasonably priced. There was even a DJ and a dance floor! I wore my best formal outfit while Dwayne wore a nice shirt and pants, a bollo tie and his cowboy hat.

       Dwayne took care of everything. He'd ordered something that he knew we'd both like and he even ordered sparkling white grape juice for us to toast with. We played footsie under the table for almost the entire meal. 

       After we'd finished eating, we made our way onto the dance floor. Dwayne walked ahead of me to the DJ and whispered something in his ear. The DJ just nodded and changed the CD. As we started dancing, the sound of 'Happy Birthday' by NKOTB came over the speakers.

       "Really?" I asked Dwayne, my arms going around his neck as his found my waist.

       "What can I say, Darlin'? I'm just so glad that you were born." Dwayne said back with his signature smile.

       I laughed and buried my face in the crook of his neck. We swayed back and forth to the music until it was over. From there we danced a few more faster songs before we headed back to our table, ready to order dessert.

       "Want to share a piece of cake?" I asked.

       "Anything you want. But before we order, I want to give you your present." Dwayne said back.

       "I thought going out was my present. You didn't need to get me anything!" I said, surprised.

       "Of course I got you something!" Dwayne said, reaching into his pocket. He pulled out a small box and slid it across the table to me.

       Opening the box, I was met with a gorgeous necklace with a pendant in the shape of a key.

       "Dwayne...it's beautiful!" I exclaimed. I immediately took it out of the box and held it. Dwayne got  up from his seat and came to help me put the necklace on.

       "The pendant is beautiful. But why a key?" I asked as Dwayne fastened the clasp.

       "It's a key because it's the key to my heart. And I want you to have it." Dwayne said.

       I turned around to face him. His smile was contagious as one found its way onto my own face. I jumped out of my chair, threw my arms around him, and planted a big kiss on his lips. He returned the kiss eagerly. As we pulled apart, we didn't get very far as my necklace and his bollo tie got stuck together. We both laughed.

       "I guess we're stuck with each other. Right, Darlin'?" Dwayne said.

       "I guess we are. I love you, Dwayne." I said back.

       "I love you too, Y/N." Dwayne said, going in for another kiss. I let him.

        The cake could wait.
