"Happy Birthday, My Love"💕

I'm in a good mood this time so he gets a happy birthday.

**

Zander lays awake in bed, one hand on his husbands chest, the other in the crook of Luke's neck, he looks at the time again, 5AM.. goodness this was so childish.. He's a grown man, 24 years old, and here he is, fighting the urge to wake his husband because he wants to celebrate his birthday as soon as possible..

Zander had never been one for birthday celebrations, but.. his darling seemed to change that. He just.. he liked his birthday now, it wasn't just any other day of the year anymore, it meant something. Sure, before he'd always gotten a birthday celebration, but he hadn't cared for them all to much, but the first birthday that he received a kiss from Luke? It just.. changed everything. He looks up at his still asleep husband, waiting expectantly for him to wake up, for him to wake up and shower him with affection. He didn't want to wake him up JUST for that. That's stupid.

Their 3 year old adopted daughter, Ivy, had spent the night at Haileys house, so they don't get her back until around 5:30PM, which gives them some alone time.

He huffs as he moves closer to him, as close as he can, trying to get that closeness, that familiar closeness Luke always made him feel, but it felt only half there without Luke's conscious reciprocating touches.

It only took a few more minutes before he felt Luke begin to stir, he perks up as he props himself up on his hands. Luke's eyes open, and immediately smiles as he sees his husbands face above his own. He sighs fondly as he reaches out to brush a section of Zanders hair behind his ear. "..Morning babe." He says tiredly as he sits up and kisses his forehead. "Happy birthday."

Zander smiles as he hugs around Luke's shoulders, just resting there as he mutters out a thanks.

"How you feeling? Want a lay in or just wanna get up?" Luke asks. Luke is a morning person to no ends, so he can manage with both, Zander however usually hates his mornings.

"Uhh... Can we get up? I can start on breakfast?" He offers, feeling Luke nod.

As Zander stands up, he feels his husband stand up with him, feeling his hands on his shoulders as he stood behind him. "I have a few gifts for you today.. And I have a reservation for 3 at a restaurant later! You mentioned you wanted to try it, so I thought I'd get it booked for tonight."

Zanders eyes light up slightly. "Which one?" He asks curiously, as he knows there's a lot of restaurants he points out, so really it could be any.

"Uh.. That steakhouse in the city, they have vegan options for me, I checked, and a kids menu for Ivy... So, I thought it could be nice!" Luke smiles, Zander returns it as he turns around to gently kiss his cheek, he could visibly see Luke get a bit giddy as he did so,
Which was always a bit of a confidence boost.

Luke sat with a genuine smile as he watched his lover open all of his gifts, Luke had obviously picked out things he was hyperfixated on. Bow, their black cavapoo dog was on Zanders lap, whilst Pumpkin, their golden retriever pup was on Luke's. Zander seemed to be very very happy with each and every gift, of course he was, there wasn't, and never will be a time where he is disappointed with anything Luke gets him.

A painting set, new yarn, flowers, matching sweaters for the dogs, a sudoku book, and a few gift cards for coffee shops.
