Brendon's pov:

"THEY SAY ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY!"

"NA NA NA NA NA NA"

"ITS MY BIRTHDAY TOO YEAH!"

Ryan and I are blasting Birthday by The Beatles and singing along from the top of our lungs because it's the only right way to celebrate Ryan's birthday.

I love Ryan so much he's the most adorable person I've ever seen.

"Can you guys be any louder?" my mom asks laughing as she enters the garage

"it's Ryan's birthday!" I say turning the volume down.

"haha well happy birthday Ryan, but if you guys could celebrate his birthday a little quieter i'm sure the neighbors would appreciate it or at least close the door" she says tossing me the garage door remote

"ok ok, we're going out to eat soon anyways" I say putting my guitar away

"ok have fun and be home by 9!" she says leaving.

"sooo, where are we going?" Ryan asks, putting his arms around me.

"wherever you want to go birthday boy" I say kissing his forehead.

"hm, let's go to that karaoke place with the good fries and milkshakes!!" he says excited.

"haha ok let me get my keys and we'll be off"

.

we get to the karaoke place and meet up with our friends Spencer and Pete.

we eat and watch people attempt to sing, occasionally there's really good singers but most of the time it's tone deaf people having the time of their lives and it's great because everyone is so nice and supportive anyways.

"okay after a 5 minute break we have Brendon and Ryan performing an original song" the mc says walking off the podium.

Ryan and I look at each other confused and then at Pete and Spencer.

"WHAT?! WHICH ONE OF YOU DID THAT?! WHY?!" Ryan screams

"C'mon you guys sing together all the time, and it's amazing" Pete says

"but only to people who know us! and an original song? we don't even, what-w-we're not prepared" Ryan says

"yeah we don't even have our guitars and -"

"relax they have acoustic guitars here for talent nights i already talked to the guy we set everything up you just have to go up play and sing, trust me they'll love you guys"

Ryan and I look at each other.

"do you wanna do it?" I ask

he thinks about it for a bit

"16 year old Ryan would be too shy but it's my birthday and 17 year old Ryan says let's go for it" he says smiling

"aw i'm proud of you ryro, what song should we do?"

"ummm"

"I like Mad as Rabbits" Pete says

"nobody asked you Pete!" Ryan says

"hm what song do you think we should do, SPENCER?" Ryan asks

"hm I like mad as rabbits too" he says

"excellent choice, I think we should do that one too"

"oh yes very excellent" I add laughing at pete's face

"you're an ass, Ryan" Pete says

"thanks" Ryan says smiling

"ok now we'll have an original song from Brendon and Birthday Boy Ryan Ross" the guy announces

"you told them it was my birthday too?!" Ryan looks at Pete

Pete just winks

"h-hi i'm Ryan and this is my Boyfriend Brendon. w-we're going to be singing a song called Mad as Rabbits"

come save me from walking off a windowsill or I'll sleep in the rain

.

Everyone loved us and we also sang Pas de Cheval.

we sit in my car outside of Ryan's house.

"Happy Birthday Ryan, I love you" I say taking out a small box.

"Beebo, you didn't have to get me anything, having you is already a gift" he says

"I wanted to give you something special that you can use all the time"

he opens the box and takes out a light teal guitar pick that matches the color of his guitar with lyrics from a song we started to write but never finished, engraved in gold letters.

"all was golden when the day met the night" he reads aloud.

"the sky was always golden that summer we met, I know it's kinda chee-" he cuts me off kissing me.

"I love it soo much Brendon, it's the best present ever"

"also there's a string to put it on if you want to wear it when you're not playing" I add

"I'll wear it all the time, I love you so much, Brendon"

"I love you too Ryan, Happy Birthday"

I take out my Polaroid camera and take a picture of Ryan with the guitar pick.

I take my Polaroid camera everywhere I have tons of pictures of me and Ryan

we often like to look through them and remember funny, cute, special and sad moments.

and sometimes just for fun.

but this was definitely a special moment.
