For Tharn's birthday, Type surprises him with a box full of flavored condoms.

~~~

*Type's POV*

After football practice, I come home to see Tharn waiting for me on our bed with a grin on his face. As soon as he sees me, he excitedly scoots down to the edge of the bed. He's already in a good mood, which makes me curious... did he already find the present I left for him?

"Hey," I say, trying to keep my voice casual as I take a seat on the couch. "You're back."

"I came back this morning," Tharn tells me.

"So...." my eyes drift to the dresser where I had left his present, still wondering if Tharn already saw it. "Did you buy any food? I haven't eaten yet."

Tharn nods his head once. "I bought a lot. Chocolate, strawberries..." Tharn starts listing with a grin. My stomach erupts in butterflies, but I try to keep my face neutral. "Oranges, melons, peaches..."

"When did you become an herbivore? Why are there only fruits?" I interrupt, knowing fully well that Tharn isn't talking about food.

Tharn chuckles and reaches under the comforter, pulling out the gift I had left for him. The tips of my ears heat up instantly. Even though I'm the one that bought it for him, I'm still embarrassed looking at it.

Opening the box, Tharn reveals the multitude of flavored condoms I had bought. "Which flavor do you want?" Tharn asks with a smile. "They're all presents from you."

My face flushes from his teasing. "You really—!"

"Just choose one," Tharn chuckles before leaning closer to me. "Aren't you hungry?"

"Hungry for food," I grumble.

"Then, how about..." Tharn sifts through the box, "chocolate?"

"I won't let you eat me," I declare, although even I could hear the uncertainty in my voice. Tharn's eyes narrow seductively, his tongue darting out across his bottom lip as he looks me up and down. My skin heats up under Tharn's lustful gaze.

"Try me," he says huskily. "It's my birthday."

I gulp thickly. "Your birthday was yesterday," I remind him.

Tharn's smile changes from seductive to warm. "I'm kidding," he tells me, leaning away. "You're hungry? Over there," he nods towards the table. "I brought you some cake from home. Just grab a bite."

"Leftovers from your home?" I raise a brow.

"No," Tharn insists, his smile slipping. "I really want you to eat it. Because you wouldn't go to my birthday party. Eat it first. After I finish taking a shower, I'll find you some food."

My lips twitch up in a small smile. "You're going to buy it for me?" I ask, feeling warmed by my boyfriend's kindness. Tharn is always going out of his way to take care of me.

Tharn's grin returns and he nods his head. "What do you want to eat?"

"I don't know. How about I take a shower after you and let's go get something to eat?" I suggest.

"Okay," Tharn happily agrees. He stands up from the bed and heads over to the bathroom. Once he's out of sight, my gaze falls on the box left sitting on the bed. While I stare at the gift I bought for Tharn, my mind wanders back to what he said just a few minutes ago.

'Because you wouldn't go to my birthday party.'

When I told Tharn I wouldn't go to his home and meet his family for this birthday, the disappointed look on his face killed me. It's not that I didn't want to spend Tharn's birthday with him, I'm just... not ready for all of that. Meeting the parents, announcing publicly that we're a couple... the idea scares me. What if his parents reject me? Would Tharn break up with me? And what if my parents aren't accepting of our relationship? I'm just not ready to deal with all the headache that comes with announcing I'm dating a man.
