Gray's POV: It's the middle of June and more specifically the 16th so everyone in the guild found out last night from Mira that it meant today was Seth's birthday and yet as I walk out of my room and look over towards his door I see it still shut but it's slightly cracked open, I peek inside and see a leg and a arm both sticking out wrapped in the blankets and his exhaling sound like a purring kitten as he nuzzles his head deeper in his pillow. I just smile as I carefully slide the door shut. "He deserves to sleep in on his birthday" I say softly to myself as I walk downstairs. "You seem in a surprisingly good mood this morning Gray you only seem that way if you hear Seth's playing during the night." Erza says as she looks at me curiously.

"Yeah well speaking of the birthday boy I saw his door was open a crack so as I was closing it I saw his sleeping form, he just looks so precious even his breathing is adorable for someone his age." I say before shoving my breakfast in my mouth. Lucy just looks at me a little stunned by this. After a little while Seth comes out his room, after getting his breakfast he just sits between Lucy and Erza so he was across from Natsu and he just eats silently before burping loudly. "Well good morning to you to then." The flame brain says caught off guard. "Huh?, Oh right morning everyone Seth says as he uses the sleeve of his robe to wipe his mouth and slides his hood off his head.
———————————————————————
"I thought you would of slept in longer as it's your birthday." I say kindly. "I thought you would have tried to sit next to my darling again like u did all those months ago." Juvia says sharply as she looks at Seth with a glare in her eyes. "Well I'm now used to waking up this early, and Juvia dear if you glare like that often your face will get stuck that way furthermore a seat is a seat it doesn't matter so stop whining about it." Seth says plainly as he answers both me and the water mage.
———————————————————————
After he had a big breakfast we insisted he sleep in more and he bitterly just does as told. "I think he had plans to go to the spa this morning." Bisca says as she walks past our table her sniper gun against her shoulder. "Oh well he could always go later it's still early." Erza says as she looks at the gun mage. "I guess well I hope he enjoys his first birthday being a guild mage." Bisca says as she tips her hat down to say goodbye. I went up to Seth's room to check on him one last time and saw he was in fact asleep and he was hugging a pillow and burying his face into it. "Sleep well little birthday prince." I say barely above a whisper as I smile while quietly shutting his door.
———————————————————————
Seth's POV: I was resting peacefully in my dorm bed and was hugging a pillow close to me as I imagined it was actually my crush letting me rest my face against his chest. I eventually wake back up and go to my spa appointment as I walk out the guild I just link my hands together behind my back even though I wanted to let my arms lay lazily by my side thinking of walking hand in hand with my crush.
———————————————————————
As I'm getting massaged the masseuse says I have quite a few pimples that look ready to be popped so I ask them to kindly pop the pimples and soon after they are done I see the popped ones oozed blood onto my back, As I'm getting a facial I just sigh in bliss as it feels nice to not have to go into battle early in the morning for once.
———————————————————————
I then go and see the house staff briefly and they just shower me with gifts of all sorts some even got me wigs, wig dye and foam heads to avoid being noticed by the public on days where I just wanna enjoy life. I thank all of them and ask them to bring everything to the guild. I then go see Antonio briefly and his mom even has a pile of gifts for me I find out they are all gift cards to various places I enjoy, Even to Stella's studio and a few of my favorite restaurants.
———————————————————————
I then open the small box Antonio has and it's a new charm for my bracelet. It was my guild mark in the exact coloring and the back of the charm was designed to look like my moms favorite flower. I hug him tightly in thanks for such a sweet gift. Yet he insist we spend time together just us two even though I protest and say I wanna go back to the guild. I give in and spend time with him, as we drive past the water I push the button on the dash to put the top down and just throw my hands up like on a roller coaster.
———————————————————————
Eventually the sun is starting to dip down and so he brings us back to his place and we quickly catch a train to the guild, Once in Magnolia he walks with me to the guild and yet I see the guild is completely dark and hear not a sound. "Where...is...that...blasted...light switch!" I say as my hand slaps around the wall a few times before landing on the switch. With a click the lights come on and everyone jumps out of their hiding spots before shouting. "Happy Birthday Seth!!" I look at Antonio with a did you know of this behind my back look on my face." He nods before slapping me on the shoulder and saying that he will catch me later.
———————————————————————
I walk over to a tower of cake and light the candles with my magic before blowing them out and slicing it so everyone gets a slice. I tell everyone I will open all the gifts on my own later and right now I want them to enjoy the party. "Aaron brought over some gifts earlier from your home." Erza says as she sits next to me. "I know I asked him to bring them over." I reply before I drop my voice softly and tell her what's in the boxes he brought. Erza just nods before telling Lucy and Lucy laughs like a hyena at it.
———————————————————————
"Oh that's hilarious yet actually I'm looking forward to seeing the finished products." Lucy says as she tries to regain her composure. I just roll my eyes and enjoy the cake and ice cream. As I'm finishing my second round of ice cream and 10th mug of soda I see Gray get up from his seat across from me and walks over to me tapping me on the back of the shoulder, I look over behind me at him and I see he has his hand held out like I did when we were at the Halloween ball.
———————————————————————
I carefully place my hand in his and we walk to the center of the room and yet I start to feel weird having everyone watch us. "Ignore everyone else just keep looking at me and think back to the ball." Gray says in my ear so I relax my shoulders and glide with ease while enjoying dancing with him until eventually he stops and so I look at the time and then at him. "Thanks for a fun birthday." I say softly so only the hunky ice mage could hear me. I then say goodnight to everyone and walk up to my room my hands linked together behind my back. I then just get naked and curl up under the thin sheets as it's now summer and I happily melt into blissful sleep.
