My 27th birthday

I woke to a strange weight on my chest. I groaned and pushed him off me. "Awsten," Geoff complained falling on the bed space next to me that I pushed him to. I rolled onto my side facing away from him. Geoff sighed. "Grumpy much," he grumbled. 

"Don't lay on me while I'm trying to sleep," I whined hiding my face in the black blanket. He put his arms around me. He laid his head on my back. I tried to push him off but he stayed. 

"Awsten," He complained at me. 

"What?" I whined tiredly. 

"Come on baby wake up," he told me. I whined and turned to my soon to be husband. The light reflected onto the bright walls. He smiled down to ms as my soft blue hair messed basically everywhere.

"I'm alive," I told with a small strain in my voice from being woken up.

"That's good," he smiled. "Guess what hun,"

"What?" I asked with a yawn almost cutting me off.

"Guess," he told rubbing the side of my arm.

"Your gay?" I joked with a small smirk.

"Its a little late to come out now isn't it?" He accepted my joke.

"Yeah I guess," I smiled. "But what's so important you had to wake me up at-" I looked over at the clock, "seven in the morning? On my day off?" All Geoff did was smile.

"Awst, honey, we got approved,"

"Approved for what? No matter what I'm marrying you if that's what this is in denial of," he just rolled his eyes in response. Handing me an envelope. I sat up with a second yawn. It was already opened so I just lifted it up.

My hands were shaking so badly. "This-" I couldn't even talk I just looked up at Geoff.

"We're dads," he finished for me. I set the paper down and hugged him. He put his arms around me softly. I can't believe any of this. I probably would have started crying if I wasn't so heartless, but that part is because of my job.

"Oh my god-" was all I could really manage out.

"I know hun," I could tell he smiled while he spoke. Soon I felt his hand playing with the back of my hair. I Nuzzled closer to him. Happy that we can be dads, a family, and in less then a weeks time, Geoff and I will be married. "He'll be coming home with us in two weeks or so, he just wanted a little more time to say 'bye' to some friends,"

"That's fine, that's honestly-" I just couldn't finish my sentences from smiling too much. He just continued to pet my hair.

"I know," he spoke softly. I leaned away from him a little look into his light blue eyes. He wore the softest smile. One I love very much. Like- a LOT A lot. It's crazy. He leaned down and kissed my nose. I fell victim to a small giggle. One that, by his expression, he seemed to enjoy.

"Now, Awst, I have some coffee on the counter for you and since today is your birthday, we can do whatever you want." He told. I nodded to the statement. Seeming to be much happier then I thought id be in this situation. I think that's good though. I can still feel emotions. He crawled off the bed while I made small grabby hands. "What do you want this time?" He asked.

"Carry me!" I begged almost childishly.

"Awsten, your 27 years old."

"But- its my birfday?" I asked. Trying to seem as child like as I possibly could. I seemed to have won as he rolled his eyes and threw me over his shoulder. "GeOFF-" I argued at this new found predicament.

"I'm doing what you asked." He told truthfully, carrying me to the other room.

"ThIS ISNT WHAT I MEANT-" I whined.

"Should have thought of that before hand," he told.

"You really fucked me here," for some reason my brain thought that was the correct term rather then 'fucked me over'. He tossed me down on my back on the couch. Standing next to me.

"Yes, I did actually, now, would you like coffee?" He asked. It took me a moment to understand what he said before nodding with a 'please'. He nodded once walking into the kitchen. Sitting up and taking my phone of the living room table, I saw that I had a message only from my friend Dallon.

Hey Awsten, this is probably earlier then when you wake up but glorious 24hour time period tradition of you being born

I smiled to myself at him texting that. What an interesting way of saying "Happy Birthday". Gotta love it though.

TallMan {8:03}

And around that time, coffee was done and Geoff joined me on the couch. I smiled up at him. He handed me a purple mug with coffee while he held a black one. I took with coffee happily. Laying my head against his side. A last yawn escaped me before I could take a sip of coffee. "The glorious bean juice,"

Chapters are probably gonna end up being this long, around 1,000 words. Hope that's okay, I might end up doing more as the plot increases in mass
