The Autumn breeze waved the crusty, eroding leaves around. It was October 28th. John's birthday. John himself couldn't give a shit about it. If it wasn't for his friends, his day would have carried on like normal.
Wake up.
Get breakfast.
Do whatever.
Then go sleep.
But no, this isn't the case this year.
John was still in bed. Twisting and turning, trying to get comfortable. But the sounds of Alex's constant rushing about weren't exactly pleasant. Alex heard John's shuffling and jumped in the bed, straddling John.
"Morning, princess" he said and pecked John's chapped, ripped lips.
"Hi"
"It's your birthday"
"Unfortunately" he said and Alex laughed, then jumped off of John and sat next to him on his bed.
"So"
"So?" John said, closing his eyes, being slightly blinded by the sunlight.
"So, the plan today; First of all, you and I get some breakfast and some fancy restaurant. Then, we go to the Schuylers' and them and Hercules and Lafayette give you their presents. After, we are going to have dinner at the Schuylers'. Sound like a plan?" He finished off. John swung his legs over to the edge of the bed and sat next to Alex.
"Listen babe, this is all amazing. But you didn't need to do all of that. At all. None of it. I would be fine with just a movie night." he said.
"I wanted you to have the best birthday, John" Alex responded "And that's why, I bought you these two gifts" he continued, running into the bathroom to retrieve a big box and a smaller one. He sat so that John was facing him.
"Right, so the first one" he said and opened the smaller box to reveal a very pretty ring, that had a small diamond in the middle. He heard John gasp and took the ring out of the box.
"This. This is a promise ring. I have one too. It symbolises the fact that I promise that I will marry you, one day" Alexander said "Will you put it on?" He asked and handed the ring to John. John swiftly slid the ring onto his finger and admired it with wide eyes.
"So do you? Do you promise that, one day, one glorious day, you will have the honour to be my husband?" Alexander asked.
"I promise" John replied and wiped the three tears that cascaded down his freckled face.
"I love you so much," John said.
"I love you so much, too"
John connected their lips in one swift motion. Indicating his neverending 'thankyous' They pulled apart and Alex spoke up again, "Another gift" he said and pulled up the box that was in the floor, onto John's lap.
"Open it" John proceeded to open the big box.
"No way!" He exclaimed, putting the box aside and attacking Alex in a warm embrace.
He picked it up again and took out the wide-eyed turtle, examining its interesting features and then placing it on his lap.
"What are you gonna name her?"
"Lexi" he said.
Boii I think that promise John made is gonna be broken very soon. I mean, what?? I never said anything tut tut tut
