A/N: Happy birthday, Ringo!

1964

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" they cheered as Ringo walked into the studio.

"Oh, wow!" A huge grin spread across his face. "Thank you so much!"

"Happy 24th birthday, Ringsy." George hugged him from behind. "I got something special for you." He handed him a long box.

"What's this?" He opened it, jaw dropping. "George!"

"Let me see!" John pushed his way over.

"Aw!" Paul held up the brand-new drumsticks, inspecting the words carved into them. "Happy Birthday Ringo, Love George," he read. "So sweet!"

"I love them so much." Ringo threw his arms around him. "You didn't have to get me anything."

"Too late," George smirked. "If they wear down, I'll just get you more."

"I love you so much."

"Huh?" Ringo looked down at the box on the table. "What's this?" He opened it slowly.

Happy Birthday Ringo, Love George.

"George..." He must've forgotten to give them to him. "My George." Tears ran down his cheeks, and he let out a choked sob. "I love you so much."
