and in the end, I'd do it all again [Moxiety]

Chapter 18 ~ My Boy

8am, Saturday morning.  I sneak out of bed and down the stairs.  Patton deserves some good breakfast in bed this morning.  Yesterday, I went out and bought bacon, eggs, and sausages ready for today.  It should make a nice change from his usual cinnamon crunch cereal.  My boy deserves something special on his birthday.  I cook all the food and place it nicely on a tray, adding a cup of coffee (not that he needs it) and even a single red rose from a bunch that I bought in town, I finally found where he's getting them from!  I try to sneak back up the stairs, holding the tray carefully. 
"Happy birthday, baby!" I whisper into the room as I enter it.  Patton sits up slowly, running his eyes, before reaching over and grabbing his glasses off the bedside table.
"Aw, Virge, you didn't have to do all this!"  He says, smiling sleepily at me.
"I wanted to" I shrug, sitting down on the bed and placing the tray on his lap.  He gazed at me lovingly as he smells the rose, placing it on the bedside table.  As he eats, I sit and tell him the details of our date.
"Same place as our first date, candles, roses, you can order anything you want, I'm paying for everything!"  I tell him.
"Sweetheart, you really don't have to do all this" he says, I grab his hand.
"Well I'm going to.  It's your special day."  He smiles at me excitedly.  I lean forward and kiss him.
"So what are we doing for the rest of the day?"  He asks once we've pulled away.
"Anything you want, baby" I tell him with a shrug.  He grins at me.
"There's a park near my old place, maybe we could have a picnic..?" He ayas hopefully.
"Of course" I say.  He takes another sip of his coffee, placing it onto the tray on the nightstand, I peck his lips again before picking up the tray and heading downstairs.

We walk to the park hand in hand, laughing together as we walk the short distance from my, our house.  On e we get there, I pull out the blanket from the bag we brought containing the food, and lay it on the grass.  I watch Patton, a short distance away, petting the first dog he saw as he got to the park, and smile, rolling my eyes as his excitement.  He heads over to me, sitting beside me.  I turn and lie back with my head on his lap, gazing up into his eyes.  He smiles down at me, reaching into the bag and grabbing the strawberries, and he begins to feed them to me.  I laugh at his random romantic gesture, realising how much of a cringy couple we are.  He leans down, pressing his lips onto mine, before pulling off and looking at something in the distance.
"Virge! There's a puppy!"  I laugh and roll my eyes again, sitting up to let him stand and rush over to the small puppy a little while away from us.  I watch him roll about with the dog, listening to his stunning laughter fill the park.  I'm so lucky.  When he makes his way back over to me, I grab the bag, pulling out the birthday card that I had hidden in the bottom.  I hand it to him as he sits back down, and he looks at me lovingly as he takes it.
"You've done enough,Virge!" He says, and I giggle as he tuts and opens up the card.  I lean onto his shoulder, Reading the words as he does.

Dear Patton,
Thank you for making me happier than I have ever been.  You bring me so much joy every day by simply being in my life, and for that you deserve the world.  I hope that today, I can give you at least half as much joy.  I love you, always.  Happy birthday, babe.
Love, Virgil xxx

"Aww" he says quietly, turning his head to kiss the top of mine.  I look up and smile at him, and he pushes me to lie down.  He breathes out a laugh as he leans over me, pushing his lips onto mine.  His tongue immediately pushes past my lips, and I hold the back of his head as we kiss deeply.  After a few minutes, he pulls back and I wrap my arms right around him, burying my head in his shoulder.
"I'm so lucky" I tell him.
"I'm the lucky one" he counters
We walk hand in hand all the way home.

Got home quite late today, but from now on, 7pm BST will be update time!  Hope you enjoyed today and are excited for the date and party!  Prepare yourselves... 🤫 ❤️
