Thomas Sanders x Reader

17

I awoke the next morning refreshed and happy. Happier than I had ever felt in my life. I placed a kiss on Thomas' lips before rolling over to grab my phone. I looked at the date.

October 21

I grinned. I had completely forgotten my birthday was coming up. (A/N: This was a request from my gf. I know it may not be your actual date of birth, but just pretend it is.) I tapped Thomas on the shoulder. He groaned and rolled back over into his pillow. I straddled him and shook him until he finally looked up at me.

"Something you want to tell my (Y/N)?" He asked, a smile playing on his lips. I showed him the date. He looked at me, confused. I smiled even bigger as I leaned in and said, "It's my birthday!"

He smiled back at me. He wrapped an arm around my waist and rolled us over, so now he was on top. "Happy birthday." He kissed me, long and passionately, before pulling away. "Anything you want Darling?" I tilted my head. "Yes, actually. Could you make my favorite?" I fluttered my eyes a little, pleading. He chuckled. "Anything for you on your special day."

He stood and left, headed for the kitchen. As soon as he did, Patton replaced him on the bed. "I didn't know it was your birthday! I love birthdays! Happy birthday! Can we do something fun today?" He babbled. I laughed and held up my hands. "Slow down bud. Thank you for the birthday wish, and sure, we can do something fun." Patton squealed with delight and hugged me before disappearing again.

When he came back, he had brought the other sides with them. It appeared Virgil wasn't very happy about this. He slouched behind Princey. I could almost swear I heard him mutter, "I hate birthdays."

Logan adjusted his glasses and held out a hand for me to shake. "I give you the best wishes for today. A persons date of birth is a very exciting thing." I stood on my knees in the bed, covering myself with the sheet, and shook his hand.

He leaned into Patton's ear and whispered, "But not entirely necessary." Patton crossed his arms at that.

Princey squealed as he came over. "I wish to celebrate your day of birth with you! What shall we do on this fabulous morning?" He asked, hugging me. I sighed. "We need to do something fun. I'm not sure what yet."

Roman nodded. "Indeed. Well, we'll go now and help you find something to do. Logan?" Logan nodded and took Patton's hand. "I'll need your help." He muttered, embarrassed, before they all left.

My phone pinged. I brought it back up to my face to read the incoming text.

From: Stephanie👑

I smiled. I hadn't heard from her in forever. In fact, I don't think I have really connected with any of my friends since Mom died. The memory damped my mood, but only for a moment. I read the text and it immediately brightened it.

Happy birthday! Got any plans with Thomas today? Got any time for an old friend?

I replied quickly.

Yeah, we were going to do something fun to celebrate my birthday. You can join if you like. Thomas is making me breakfast, so let me eat and we'll get together to discuss plans.

I sent it, got dressed, and walked happily downstairs. I took a deep breath, inhaling the scent of my favorite breakfast food. Thomas seemed pleased with the look on my face as I ate, and asked once I finished my first bite, "So it tastes alright?" I moaned in pleasure as the taste traveled down my throat (A/N: That sounds dirty...:\). "It tastes amazing."

I finished eating and informed Thomas of my plan. He seemed happy with it. "So I should like this, er, Stephanie?" He asked. I nodded. "Should we meet her at the park down the road?" Thomas shrugged and continued smiling. I took that as a yes and informed her of the meeting place.

We decided to walk to the park because it was so close. In addition, Patton really liked this time of year, so it was impossible to say no. As we walked, we discussed things like upcoming holidays and the future. We reached the park, and unnoticed Steph was already waiting on a bench, petting someone's pups. I couldn't help but smile at the sight. It was just like her.

"Steph!" I shouted across the park. She heard me and jerked her head up, smiling as she made eye contact with me. "(Y/N)!" She shouted back, running to squeeze me with a hug. She pulled away and looked at Thomas, who looked to be enjoying our reunion. "So this lovely man is Thomas, eh? He's not bad looking. You did a good job." She gave him a hug as well.

I rolled my eyes at her. "Oh no. Don't try and act all casual. We both know you had just as much of an obsession with him as I did." She blushed now. "Did not. Anyway, that's not what we're here to discuss. Park bench?" We nodded.

*******

We decided to go to Main Event, the new place that was "all the rave", as Stephanie had said. It had bowling, laser tagging, pool, a bar, and a recently constructed rock climbing wall. I clapped as Thomas got his second strike. He jumped in victory, clapping as well. "Yes!"

Steph smirked. "Very good. But neither of you lovebirds have yet to beat me." She stood and grabbed her bowling ball, walking to the lane. As she raised the ball, ready to send it flying down the lane, I coughed loudly.

It was enough of a distraction to cost her 3 pins. She turned around and pointed a finger at me, jokingly angry. "You did that on purpose!" She shouted. I laughed. "Maybe I did, maybe I didn't."

I stood to grab my ball, and prayed to God that he would spare me and allow me to avoid the gutter. As I sent it rolling down the lane, I winced, sure I had missed.

I opened my eyes to the sound of pins falling. All the pins had fallen. I got a strike! I screamed in excitement and ran back to Thomas and Steph, raising a hand for a high-five.

The rest of the day passed quickly. We shared a few laughs, downed a few quick drinks at the bar, and went back home to do cake.

I had told them I didn't want any presents, but I ended up with some anyway. Thomas had gotten me a beautiful necklace, bracelet, and earring combo that had my initials engraved on it. I was in wonder as to when he got this. Steph had gotten me a series of plushies, a pair of new earbuds, and an Apple gift card.

I gave Steph a teary eyed goodbye that night, telling her to call whenever. That night, as we watched my favorite movie and ate popcorn with the Sides again, I got a call.

"Hello?"

"You said to call whenever. Happy birthday best friend."

A/N: AND I COME BACK WITH AN UPDATE! Sorry it has been a while, but I cracked my phone :(. My dad actually fixed it for me and, amazingly, you can't tell I broke it in the first place. P.S. a special shoutout to Steph, because I was supposed to update this last Saturday as a birthday present for her, but I didn't. Follow her, actually, Stephie_Ann_101
