"tomorrow is your birthday!" i said excitingly to marc as he was sitting on my bed, watching me look through pictures.

we had been home for a couple of hours. he went to see his parents for a little bit. it was around 9:30 at night. we came home around 10 in the morning.

"i know right? i'm going to be 18" he said as he got up to move closer to me. he kissed my head.

"you're so old" i said joking around with him.

"i am not" he said as i turned off my computer, calling it a day.

"yes you are. i'm only 17, i'm a minor" i joked as i sat down on the bed.

"shut up, luna" he said as he moved me to lay on the bed so he could rest his body on top of me. i smiled as i played with his hair.

we haven't made it to the 'i love you' part of the relationship, but you could easily tell he loves me and i think it's so sweet knowing he does.

"what are we doing tomorrow?" i asked as he hummed.

"dinner with friends and family" he said and i nodded my head even though he couldn't see me.

"at like 5 or 6" he added. i continued to play with his hair as we enjoyed the silence between us.

"okay" i said back softly.

"hey" i heard someone whisper, shaking me. i opened my eyes seeing hector there.

"hi. is everything okay?" i asked as i rubbed my eyes. i looked over and saw marc still sound asleep.

"yeah, everything is okay. i just came in here to ask you if you're ready?" i nodded my head. remembering about our idea.

"yeah, let's go get the things" i said quietly. i got up rubbing my eyes, grabbing my phone. quietly walking down the stairs with hector in front of me.

"did you guys fall asleep?" hayden asked once we both made it down the stairs.

"yes, i totally forgot we were gonna surprise him. he'll wake up once he realizes i'm not there" i said as we walked into the kitchen.

i opened the fridge grabbing the cake we had for marc. it was a small round cake just enough for the four of us to eat. everyone else was sound asleep as we planned this. everyone knew we were gonna surprise marc at exactly 12, but they wanted it to be special. so they let the four of us do it ourselves without telling marc.

"okay, i'm just going to put the small 1 and 8 candles real quick" i said as i opened it trying to be quiet grabbing the candles from the drawer.

"hector and i went to get him a gift. did you get him anything?" hayden asked as she grabbed the lighter for me.

"i got him a bunch of stuff while he was with his parents. do you think it's weird to give him flowers? what do you think hector?" i asked as i finished up. going to the pantry, where i hid his gifts. it wasn't much since he was going to get more later.

"no, i don't think so. i think that's really sweet" he said and i smiled once i turned around.

"okay, let's go" i said as i carried his gift also grabbing the flowers trying not to drop anything. the three of us walked up the stairs quietly.
