Mark crawls up the bed and lays beside Scott, placing a kiss to his jaw. "Happy Birthday, baby."
"Thank you, sweetheart," Scott says. He has to admit, it was a nice surprise waking up to Mark between his legs. "Let me take care of you."
"Later," Mark says, "I want to make you breakfast. What do you want?"
"You," Scott teases.
Mark giggles. "Scotty, I'm serious. What do you want?"
"I wanna make you feel good," Scott says, "Please?"
Mark decides to give in. "Fine," he exaggerates, giggling soon after, and Scott kisses him deeply.

Mark puts the plate of French Toast between him and Scott. "Look good, baby?" He asks.
"Looks perfect, Marky. Thank you." He leans over the table and gives Mark a quick kiss.
Scott cuts a piece off and takes a bite. "Oh my god, babe, this is so good."
Mark giggles. "Thanks, Scotty." He cuts himself a piece and takes a bite. "What do you want to do today?"
Scott shrugs. "I kind of just want to spend the day with you."
"Okay...and do what?"
"We could watch some movies," Scott says, "Order in."
"You don't want to go out and do anything?" Mark asks.
Scott shakes his head. "Not really, no. I just want to be with you today."
Mark smiles. "That's so sweet, honey."
Scott raises his eyebrows. "What? That's all I really feel like today." He blushes.
"No, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it. You're just so sweet is all and I love you a lot, birthday boy."
They wash their dishes and make their way to the couch and put on a movie. Scott has a good time reading through all of his happy birthday messages with one hand and running his other hand through Mark's hair.
Mark giggles at something happening on the screen and Scott feels the vibration on his chest. He looks down at the boy cuddling him and decides to put his phone away and enjoy today.
"Do you want your present, baby?" Mark asks.
"Marky, you didn't have to get me anything," Scott whines.
"What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't get you anything?" Mark frowns. He stands up to get Scott's gift. "I love you. Happy Birthday."
Scott opens the bag that Mark gave him. First, he pulls out a framed picture of them.

Scott smiles. "I'm definitely taking this on tour with me," he says, "Thank you."
"There's more," Mark says.
Scott pulls out an envelope and opens it. There are tickets.
"You didn't," Scott says. "Marky, these sold out in seconds."
"I got lucky," Mark bites his lip. "Happy Birthday, baby."
"You got us pit tickets to see Beyoncé?" Scott asks in disbelief. Mark giggles and nods, and Scott leans in and kisses him.
"Those tickets aren't for us," Mark says, "They're for you and whoever you want to take. I enjoy Beyoncé too but I know you have friends who enjoy her more than I do."
Scott disagrees and knows he's taking Mark, no questions asked. He'll win that argument later. "Baby, thank you so much."
