happy birthday, our dear finn wolfhard!

author's pov

her alarm rang, december 27 / 9:30 in the morning.

realizing what day it was, she squealed happily and opened her instagram.

"happy birthday finn, and belated merry christmas! you've come so far now, and i can't believe you're 20! it's fun to stick around and support you from the start until the end. i wish you best in life and i love you so much!"

she typed in finn's instagram chat, sending him a picture of the cake she baked last night, of course with a happy birthday and a christmas tree on it as decor.

she hit send, looking out her window to see a peaceful scenery of her neighborhood.

she got up, washed her face, and went downstairs.

"hey siri, play my spotify playlist tunes" she said as she got the milk, pouring it onto the cereal.

"okay, here's your spotify playlist tunes." siri replied, playing kiss a cross by the aubreys.

she hadn't even had her first bite when her phone chimed.

she hurriedly grabbed her phone, even almost spilling her cereal bowl.

"thanks, y/n! love the cake...could you send me some? come over if you want"

her eyes widened.

he noticed her, finally!!

finn and y/n were friends, well they weren't the closest but they'd still say their hi's and greet when they see each other.

"sure! of course i would share the cake to the birthday boy"

she typed, her excitement making her squeal and jump in happiness.

she got changed in a second, not even finishing her cereal, grabbing the cake.

"hey you got the cake! that look so yummy!" finn opened the door as she smiled wide and handed him the cake.

"it's actually the first cake i've baked, i hope it tastes good tho" she answered.

"oh come on, you're an awesome cook y/n, you're just lazy" finn laughed as he pulled her in the house.

omg. omg. omg. calm down.

she wasn't used to finn being so close to her so she vowed that she'll cherish every moment. EVERY MOMENT.

she shook her thought away, seeing frosting on finn's nose and mouth as nick suddenly laughed and taunted finn.

"dude you got cream on your face! also, hi y/n" nick laughed as he waved at her, who waved back and grabbed napkins to wipe his nose off.

"i got it, thanks" finn grabbed the napkins, their hands accidentally touching with y/n feeling an electric spark so strong she flinched her hand away.

finn did the same.

"ow!" they both winced at the same time.

they both froze, then laughed like they were the closest.

"i'm sorry that made me tickle" he giggled, his smile so beautiful and infections that you giggled along, wiping the frosting on his face.

"happy birthday finnjamin" you said, shaking your head while laughing.

"seriously, finnjamin...?" finn looked at her with a confused face but he looked like he wanted to laugh again

"you said you liked the name benjamin before so.."

"huh makes sense"

"you sound doubtful"

"nah i just wanna eat your yummy yummy cake" he said, grabbing a fork.

"HEY YOU SHOULD BLOW THE CANDLES FIRST"

nick said, grabbing a random candle, sticking it onto the cake as they huddled around to sing happy birthday to him.

finn grabbed a small birthday hat and put it in him lopsided, making them crack up again.

"come on make a wish"

finn closed his eyes, smiled, and blew the candles out.

"man you grow up fast" nick said, hugging finn.

"it's been 20 years alright i age according to time.." finn said, then faced at her.

"thank you for the cake, y/n. i appreciate it so much.." he said softly, hugging you.

she hugged him back, he was practically exhaling as she was inhaling.

gosh, i love this man so much.

you smile as you close you eyes, hugging him tighter,

then

she woke up.

'so it was all a dream..?' she thought.

she hurriedly checked her phone, knowing she sent finn a message at 12am exactly.

This account can't receive your message because they don't allow new message requests from everyone.

...what?

a wave of sadness engulfed her as tears started to form in her eyes.

she tried to resend the message, along with the cake pic but the same message kept appearing.

sick of it, she screamed, throwing the phone across the room.

her tears started to fall like rain.

i mean, who was she for him to notice?

she wasn't his friend, and he won't even get to read her message and see the cake she made for him.

she was a nobody.

that's reality, you can't be with who you want to be.


and it hurt, very much.
