birthday present // rafinha

Rafael stared at the bundle of covers on his bed, confused at how oddly shaped it was. His girlfriend, SAM, lay under all of those, and he was struggling to find out which side of the bed her head was in. "Sam?" he whispered, trying to wake her up.

A head popped up from underneath the covers, causing him to chuckle. She was always the cutest thing. "What do you want?" Sam whispered, her eyes squinting at the man who dared try to wake her up. Lucky for him, she was already awake.

He simply grinned and sat down right beside of her, placing a sloppy kiss on her forehead, "You. I want you."

"You already have me, idiot!" Sam giggled, pulling him down by the collar to press a kiss against his lips, "No, but really. What do you want?"

"You already have me, idiot." he mimicked, letting himself earn a slap with a pillow, "Jokes aside, anjo. It's your birthday and I was wondering if you wanted something."

Sam hesitated and turned to her side to directly face him, her hair looking like a nest on her head. "I'm not sure what I want, Raf," she frowned, forgetting it was even her birthday, "Could we at least spend the day together?"

Rafael nodded and gave her another kiss on the forehead, "Alright, baby. Go back to bed." Standing, he left the room wondering how he'd get Luis to let him miss training.

Staring at him, Sam already knew the answer. He was always busy, and she was hoping he'd find a way to spend some time with her, at least.

It was finally her birthday and Rafael had gotten the go signal from Luis to spend the entire day with Sam--their midfielder deserved a day off as well. He wrapped his arms around her sleeping figure even tighter, pressing kisses all over her face, and she grumbled, pushing his face away gently. Rafael simply chuckled. He truly did love her and missed spending time with her just as much as she did with him, if not more.

"Baby," he murmured, pressing a kiss on her temple, "Wake up or you'll sleep through the entire day."

Sam pouted, hiding her face even further into his arms, squishing her cheeks against his chest, "I don't wanna wake up."

Rafael chuckled, his chest to vibrating, and Sam smiled. She missed waking up with him and now she never wished to stand up. "We have to, or else you'll get a headache."

He sat up, attempting to peel her arms off of him. Sam jutted out her bottom lip, her hands gripping onto his forearm, "Baby, stay. A couple of minutes."

Taking one look at her, he let out a sigh of defeat and fell back right into the covers with her. "But no sleeping, okay."

They stayed there for a little while till he felt her body relax underneath his arms. Rafael bit his lip to hold in a chuckle, and slowly climb off the bed to prepare her little birthday present.

Sam finally woke up, the warmth she fell asleep to absent from the bed. She looked beside her to see her boyfriend gone. Sam frowned, sad thinking he'd left for training even on her birthday.

Standing up, she put on one of his hoodies and made her way to the kitchen. "Happy birthday to me." she sighed, running her fingers through her hair.

"Baby girl?" a voice from the living room called, and a smile broke across her face, "You're finally awake."

Sam skidded to the living room, nearly slipping on her way there. Rafael stood in the middle of the room, his arms wide open, "Happy birthday, meu amor."

She threw herself in his arms, and his arms instinctively tightened around her frame. "You're here!" Sam squealed.

"Of course I am, anjo. You asked for this, right?" he grinned back, placing a kiss on her forehead, "Besides, I missed spending the day with you."

Sam smiled softly and looked up at him, pressing her lips onto his, "I missed you too."

Rafael grinned through the kiss before pulling away shortly, his hands placed on both sides of her shoulders. "Since you missed me so much, I got something for you." he whispered, putting his hands over her eyes.

Sam nibbled on her lip, afraid to even think of what he got her--he once joked about getting her a lifesized cutout of him or even a pillow with her face, and though they seemed like cute ideas, she hoped none of her gifts were anything near them.

He lead her around the house, stumbling around occasionally, till they reached the backyard. She knew it was the backyard because he never thought to give her slippers before stepping onto the grass. Genius.

"Baby, the grass is wetting my socks," Sam frowned, elbowing him in the stomach, "It feels nasty."

Chuckling, he scooped her up bridal style and proceeded to walk a little further away from the house. Sam clung onto his neck and he scared her by pretending to drop her every few seconds, earning himself a bunch of slaps. "Trust me, amor."

He eventually set her down, and ducked down to look at her, "You're peeking, Sam!"

"No I'm--"

"Don't peek or else you'll ruin it." Rafael cut her off, jutting out his bottom lip. "Now stay there." he scurried across the lawn to where he hid her gift, occasionally glancing to check if she was peeking, then set the gift down in front of her. "Open your eyes."

Sam cautiously opened her eyes, scared to face a lifesized cut out of her boyfriend, but what was in front of her was far from terrifying.

Rafael stood directly in front of her, a puppy in his hands. "Happy birthday, meu amor." he smiled, handing her the little puppy in his arms, "I got you a little company, since you missed me so much."

Sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck, waiting for her to say something, he continued. "We could name him Rafael too--he could be a dog version of me or," he paused, not quite sure if he should say the next part, "he could be our practice baby. For when we get a real baby."

Sam giggled, throwing an arm around her boyfriend while her other was wrapped around the puppy protectively. "It can be our practice baby, but.. I kind of already have a big baby named Rafael to deal with."

"I don't mind being called that, as long as I'm your big baby." he replied, slowly pushing her back into the house.

"So about that real baby.. Shouldn't we get started?"
