warnings: eating, slightly ooc??

˜"*°•.˜"*°••°*"˜.•°*"˜

• it is guaranteed
• you hear me?
• guaranteed
• that he will try to plan you a party
• it’s Jesper, he has to
• so he’ll set up streamers and a huge poster displaying your age
• for all who enter the Slat to see
• he’ll get Nina to distract you, taking you out for waffles probably
• his words would probably be exactly like this:

“I don’t know Neens, just take them away from the Slat and don’t come back till, like ummm seven.”

• she’d look at the half hung decorations and many more still in boxes disapprovingly and ask:

“You didn’t plan this out did you?”

“Are you accusing me, the Jesper Fahey, himself, of being disorganised?”

She grabbed her coat and you, covering your eyes as she went, very clearly conveying something was happening, then left without a word more.

• so, by now, you knew something was happening
• or at least suspected it
• but would go along with it for Jesper
• trailing after Nina until your feet were sore
• finally having enough and asking if you could stop and sit on a bench
• she agreed with a groan
• so, she was obviously tired too

“How long do we need to stay out?”

“I really do not know what you’re talking about, (Y/N).”

“Come on, I know there’s a surprise back at the Slat, I just need to know how long I have to wait to go home.”

• she’d continue to blatantly refuse the very idea of a surprise until she randomly gave in
• and you’d smirk, happy to get the answer
as soon as it neared seven, she’d try to drag you back to the Slat but you’d tell her they wouldn’t be ready yet
• Nina would not listen and take you firmly by the wrist, marching back to the Slat
• when you got there you were right
of course
• bestie, can you predict the future?
• no, actually
• you just know how frazzled your boyfriend can get
• but you were surprised to see even Kaz was helping
• it did not look like he wanted to be there voluntarily
• but still
• you take what you can get
• it was an effort so you appreciated it
• when Nina would let out a dramatic gasp at the sight of Kaz Brekker hanging up decor, Jes would notice you
• yelling at Nina to take you out again or to your room
• just go over and peck him on the lips, tell him you don’t really care about the streamers and he’ll relax
• even if he wanted it to be perfect
• you have all the calming techniques down bestie
• Kaz will sigh exaggeratingly and drop the colourful swirly thing he was eyeing with disgust
• it would be between his forefinger and thumb as he did so
• and this meant it was twice as funny to you
• oops you may have laughed
• you received a glare in return
• aww such a nice present
• everyone say thank you Kaz
• anyway
• there’s probably a table with gifts on it
• kaz got you a new book
• but left it anonymously
• no message on the tag even if you know it’s him
• you thank him and he pretends he has no clue who gave it to you

“Awwww, thanks Kaz.”

“I didn’t get you a gift, (Y/N). It’s obviously from someone else.”

• Inej would get you some sort of herbal tea I think
• if you don’t like tea then it’s probably also a book
• wow what a match for those two
• thinking the same thoughts
• Nina may have forgotten to get a present and would promise waffles instead
• or she’d have tried to sneakily get a board game while you were out earlier
• you acted like you did not notice
• it’s a grammy award for you
• Matthias could have either gotten you some kruge because he wasn’t sure what you wanted
• or a new scarf, coat ect.
• he has a pretty good taste in fashion
• now, Jesper would either wait till later to give you his gifts
• because aww, sentimentality
• or he’d give you them with everyone else’s to make you blush publicly
• at that point, you wouldn’t care
• either way, he’d keep at least one spare to give to you in private
• I think his gifts would be a little something like this:
  • a type of jewelry, whether it be a necklace or an anklet, it would have a J on it
  • he probably bought a matching one for him with your initial on it too
  • a necklace feels a little more personal but could be taken advantage of by enemies
  • like in finding out you were together
not like it was oBVIOUS or anything
  • but an anklet would ultimately be sturdier and less likely to be taken as a means of affection from a loved one
  • so anklet it is
  • chocolates that are actually quite rich in flavour and are rare in Ketterdam
  • he saved up some money for those
  •if you like to play with his rings
  • he’ll have bought you one
  • again, it may be a little blander to avoid it being interpreted as a gift of love by enemies
  • you didn’t mind it being a little more hidden
• Jesper was happy with you and you with Jesper
• so you felt no need to show off to the world
• you would probably take it off if you had to do any good old fashioned fist fighting
pocketing it quickly
• he’d also give you a nail makeover the next day
• but you would have to paint on his nails in return because if he tried, he would probably mess up while using his non-dominant hand to paint the other
• you could match because #couplegoals
• he’d bring you breakfast in bed the day after your birthday
• being so busy planning the day before, he didn’t get you any
• I hate to disappoint but it would not be made by him
• he would burn everything
• so Matthias’ second present to you is the breakfast
• delivered by Jesper
• he’d probably be sat at the counter making snarky remarks about Matthias’ cooking
• until he got whacked with a tea towel
• if you’re an early bird
• Jes would be given the task of distracting you and stopping you from walking downstairs
• or getting out of bed at all
• this could be easily done with the persuasion of cuddles
• then Matthias would yell for him and he’d have to leave to get the tray
• when he brings it up he’ll sit you between his legs, leaning your back against his chest and resting the tray on your knees
• may feed you bites that sOMEHOW end up like a lady and the tramp scene
• even if it’s a slice of french toast, he’ll manage
• would tactfully steal little bits off your plate
• and you couldn’t really be mad at him because he would just smile charmingly
(maybe with half a piece of bacon sticking out of the side of his mouth)
• but charming none the less
• he might have a gift hidden in the corner of a chest of drawers somewhere you find one day and he remembers he was supposed to wrap that up and give it to you
• if it’s almost a year later and near your next birthday
• just leave it on his dresser
• no words need to be exchanged
• the only difference is now one of your presents is less of a surprise
• oh cards
• kaz would write in his a simple,

‘Inej made me write this. Have a good day. You are one year closer to being dead. Congratulations.

-Signed sincerely, Kaz Brekker’

• Nina and Matthias share a card
meaning she wrote it and he signed his name with an extra

'I hope you have a lovely day, (Y/N).’

• Nina’s message/ the main one in the card would be:

'I can’t believe we’re all growing so old now! Anyway, we love you, hope you enjoy the presents and your birthday. You deserve it! Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Nina’

• Inej’s would have a very sincere message:

'(Y/N),

You are truly a wonderful friend and person, helping everyone with anything they may need. I feel so lucky to have you as my friend and I hope you will continue to be for years to come. You deserve a fantastic day and I hope you get one, I know Jes will try to make it perfect!

-From, Inej x

p.s - I tried to get Kaz to sign a card, but he was smirking and wouldn’t let me see it before he put it in the envelope, so I’m terribly sorry if it’s rude.’

• now to Jesper’s

'Love,

I adore you with all my heart and wish you a truly happy birthday. I hope you like the gifts I bought, I wanted to symbolise my love for you through each. I know one or two presents are a little bland but I hope they mean as much to you as they do to me. You are the most amazing partner I could ever dream of having, and every time you do something, I never expect it.

You are unpredictable, my love, and I can honestly say I do not mind it. In fact, it is one of the many factors that made me fall in love with you. Have a happy birthday!

-Love from Jesper, xxx

p.s - Kaz looked terrifyingly happy when he finished signing your card so be careful, he probably pulled something.'

• you might have cried
• yes
• you, a Crow, feared on the streets sniffled over even Kaz’s message
• knowing if he didn’t actually want to, there was no way he would have signed that card
• all in all, you have a great birthday and Jesper (and everyone else) makes you feel really special
