When You Least Expect It (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter 10

"Leave me be," Cody groaned into his pillow, feeling his boyfriend kissing his bare back and running his fingers through his curls, trying to wake him up.

And he knew if he kept his eyes closed then he couldn't see what TJ was signing, but that only made the younger lad resort to bothering him even more, massaging his back, pressing his lips to his neck and feeling his boyfriend saying something against him.

"Why do you do this to me?" he asked, rolling over in bed and wrapping his arms around TJ, letting the younger lad lay on his chest and seeing him smiling at him happily.

Because it's your birthday! TJ signed like that was a stupid question. I have to bother you more than normal on this oh so very special day.

Cody hummed, squaring his eyes at his boyfriend, but still couldn't help the soft grin that came over him at seeing just how happy TJ was just at it being his birthday.

So we have a very big day ahead of us! Shopping with your sister and Hayden for the baby, lunch at your dads' and then tonight I have my surprise!! TJ signed excitedly before hopping off the bed and basically skipping around the room to find his shorts. Oh! But breakfast first!! he signed liked he had just remembered that and nearly ran out of the room.

Cody couldn't help himself as he rolled his eyes fondly and sat up in bed, picking at his briefs and stretching under the covers to actually wake himself up a bit. As soon as he saw TJ come into the room with two plates of breakfast though he immediately perked up, his boyfriend only cooking once before, so now he knew it was really a special occasion.

"Look at this, you really went all out."

Just breakfast love, TJ signed, letting out a small laugh as he watched his boyfriend get settled in bed with his plate of food. And if it's awful I'm sorry, I can always take you out to breakfast.

"It's the thought that counts," Cody hummed, swallowing his food thickly and offering the younger lad a small smile.

Shit, it's awful, isn't it? TJ signed, just the look on Cody's face told him it was.

"No, no! It's great love, really, your skills have improved," Cody said, not wanting his boyfriend to feel bad.

TJ just looked at him for a moment, not really believing him but when he took a bite of his own food it wasn't necessarily that worst thing he's cooked. Sorry... he signed, feeling a bit bad that this was supposed to be a special breakfast and he just completely messed it up.

"You have absolutely nothing to be sorry for," Cody smiled back at him, leaning over and kissing his boyfriend softly, only to bend further and kiss TJ's growing belly as well.

And TJ couldn't help the wide smile that came over him, tangling his fingers in the older lad's hair and connecting their lips one more time before finally letting Cody get back to eating.

He always loved the little things his boyfriend does like that, may it be kissing his stomach or just running his hand over his belly. TJ wasn't sure if he would ever get over how Cody always thought of their baby, no matter what they were doing, always making little efforts to show just how much he loved him and their little one.

"Babe Al is here, I'm sure your hair looks fine!!" Cody called out, rushing towards the front door as Milo kept nudging him, seeing the light that goes off as his "doorbell" go on over and over again.

TJ groaned to himself, his hair not being fine at all as he made his way into the living room and saw Milo excitedly circling around Hayden and Alexis as soon as they stepped into the flat.
