Your Birthday

[It's your birthday, and a day you choose not to celebrate, but a certain someone makes it special again. This takes place during the 6 month time gap after the nerve gas house.]

Today was your birthday, you asked Mark the dau before if he could stay away from your appartment for the day, not giving him a reason. Your birthday was a day you hated, without any family to celebrate with and without your sister, you despised it. It never felt right to celebrate it without them.

Normal people relive the loss of their loved ones on the day they passed, but not you, it always happened on your birthday. You sat on the floor, flicking through some photo albums you had. Some your parents owned before they passed, some that were yours, folding memories of [S/N]'s up bringing with you, and memories you created together. Remembering how she grew to be your best friend.

You sigh, hugging your knees to your chest, fighting back tears.

Happy birthday to me...

Interrupting your thoughts, you hear the door open, then close.

I forgot to lock the door, fuck.

You mentally scold yourself, then you hear a pop, and see confetti fall to your floor, you look up to the doorway and see Mark stood there with a wide smile, and a party hat on? You chuckle slightly. "Mark, what are you doing?"

"You really think I'd miss your birthday? I pay attention to you, you know." He chuckles, then pulls out another party popper, popping it in your direction so it lands in your hair. "Happy birthday, [Y/N[." You smile softly.

"Thanks Mar-"

"Come onnn get up from the floor, we have a birthday to celebrate!" He comes over to you, holding a hand out, you look to the photo albums, then back to Marks hand, smiling and taking it. He helps you stand back up, then he pulls out a [F/C] party hat, putting it on you making you laugh. "You rock it better then I do." You look at him then laugh harder. "What? I don't look that stupid!"

"Y-Yeah you d-do!" You say between laughter, you hold your stomach as you laugh harder, Mark smiles at you, knowing he's done his job of cheering you up.

After you can down, Mark comes up behind you to cover your eyes and leads you into the kitchen, the smell of your favourite take out hitting you making you smile. He stops, then uncovers your eyes. On your counter was a [C/F] cake, the exact same type as the first thing he brought you when you met, with a bag of your favourite take away place and all your favourite snacks, with a stack of movie tapes.

"I had no idea what to get you, so I thought I'd just book the day off and have a movie marathon with your favourite things?" You look at the counter, then up to Mark. Without thinking you leap into his arms, giving him a tight hug which he returns.

"...you've made my day already..." He smiles into the hug.

"Good, it was my intention. Can't go being sad on your birthday now."

"Thank you, Mark..."
