Daddy (GEMINIFOURTH)

Chapter 30: A Birthday Surprise

The day had finally arrived—Gemini's 33rd birthday. For weeks leading up to it, Fourth had been teasing him relentlessly about how "old" he was getting, playfully reminding Gemini of their 10-year age gap. At 23, Fourth loved to joke about being the "young and energetic" one in the relationship, and Gemini, despite his composed demeanor, always gave him a playful smirk in return.

But today was special, and Fourth had planned something just as special for Gemini. From the moment he woke up, he put his plan into motion. After some playful banter about Gemini's age, Fourth faked a sudden coughing fit, pressing the back of his hand to his forehead as if he were feverish.

Gemini's brow furrowed in concern. "Are you okay, baby?" he asked, reaching out to touch Fourth's cheek.

"I think I'm getting sick," Fourth replied, his voice weak, though the mischievous glint in his eyes was hidden. "I should stay in bed today."

Gemini, ever the protector, nodded immediately. "Of course. Rest. I'll come back early and check on you, okay? Don't push yourself."

Fourth coughed dramatically again, nodding in agreement, and watched as Gemini left for work, worry etched on his face. The moment the door closed behind him, Fourth dropped the act, a grin spreading across his face. The plan was officially in motion.

The first part of his surprise was simple—or so he thought. Fourth decided he was going to bake Gemini a cake. The only problem? He had no idea how to bake. But determination was in his favor, and with the help of some online tutorials and a lot of patience, he managed to get the batter mixed and the cake in the oven.

By the time the kitchen was filled with the sweet smell of vanilla cake, Fourth felt triumphant, even if the kitchen was a bit of a mess. The cake wasn't perfect, but it was homemade, and that made it special.

Next, he set his attention on the bedroom. He carefully laid out rose petals across the bed, creating a romantic atmosphere. He knew how much Gemini loved that kind of gesture, the simple intimacy of it. He placed a few vanilla-scented candles around the room, lighting them and letting the soft fragrance fill the air. Gemini had always said that Fourth smelled like vanilla, and he knew it would make the moment even more personal.

Finally, Fourth slipped into the nightwear he had picked out just for this occasion—something sexy and daring, but he kept it hidden under a silk robe for now. Everything was set. All that was left was for Gemini to come home.

Hours later, Fourth sat on the edge of the bed, nerves starting to creep in. He had planned this surprise for weeks, but now that the moment was almost here, he found himself feeling a little anxious. What if Gemini didn't like the cake? What if the surprise didn't go as smoothly as he had hoped?

But as soon as he heard Gemini's voice calling his name from outside the bedroom, all those worries melted away.

"Fourth?" Gemini called out, concern still evident in his voice as he made his way through the penthouse. "Are you okay?"

Fourth stood by the door, holding the cake with a wide smile on his face. As the door opened, revealing Gemini's tall figure standing there, Fourth stepped forward, the soft glow of the candles illuminating the room behind him.

"Happy birthday, Daddy," Fourth said with a cheeky grin, holding up the slightly crooked but heartfelt cake.

Gemini's expression softened in surprise, a slow smile spreading across his face. His eyes took in the cake, the candles, and the carefully decorated room before settling on Fourth, the tension from the day melting away. "Thank you, baby," he said, his voice warm and full of affection.

Fourth, ever the playful one, grinned as he placed the cake down on the bedside table. "Daddy's old now," he teased, his eyes sparkling. "But you're cute, so it's okay."

Gemini chuckled, shaking his head. "I don't know if 'cute' is the word I'd use, but I'll take it."

Once the cake was safely set aside, Fourth took Gemini's hand, slowly guiding him to sit on the bed. His heart raced slightly, knowing what was about to come next, but the excitement of the moment kept him focused.

With Gemini seated on the edge of the bed, Fourth stood in front of him, the silk robe loosely tied around his waist. He met Gemini's gaze, his voice soft but teasing. "I have a gift for you."

Gemini's lips curled into a smirk, his eyes glinting with curiosity. "Do you, now?" he asked, his voice low and knowing.

Fourth smiled, stepping closer and placing Gemini's hands on the tie of his robe. "You'll have to unbox it yourself," he whispered.

Gemini's smirk deepened as he slowly tugged at the robe's tie, the silk fabric slipping open to reveal the sexy nightwear underneath. Fourth's heart raced as Gemini's eyes darkened with appreciation, taking in every detail.

"Happy birthday, Daddy," Fourth whispered again, his voice sultry.

Gemini's hands moved to Fourth's waist, pulling him closer, his eyes never leaving Fourth's. "I think this might be my favorite birthday yet," Gemini murmured, his voice husky.

As Fourth climbed onto his lap, pressing soft kisses against Gemini's neck, the night was only just beginning. The candles flickered softly around them, the scent of vanilla filling the air as they both lost themselves in the moment. For all the teasing, the cake, and the playful banter about age, what mattered most was the love and connection that had only grown stronger between them.

And as the night went on, with the warmth of the rose petals and the soft glow of the candles around them, Fourth knew that this birthday was just the beginning of many more beautiful moments to come.
