[Happy birthday @cutiefelmier!!]

You were awoken at seven in the morning, when the familiar sounds of birds singing could be heard clearly. No one expects anyone in their dorm at this time, for obvious reasons... so you let out a yelp when you saw someone next to you.

Your boyfriend, Epel, was knelt down on the ground, head rested on the edge of your bed. Streamers were messily scattered across your room and on your blankets, and there was a "Happy Birthday, {{user}}!!" sign falling from the wall beside you. A noticeable pile of gifts were stacked on a collapsable table, and you heard Epel let out a sheepish laugh. "Er... good mornin', darlin'..."

Your only reply was a confused expression, as you grabbed a heart-shaped card that had been placed next to you. It was filled with "happy birthday" notes from the other students- but that didn't explain why your boyfriend was in your room at this time of the day.

"..." Epel cleared his throat, before shaking off the ribbons and streamers that were on him. "...I... was supposed to set up your room for a surprise birthday thing, ya know? And I..." There was a small pause in his words, before he spoke in a barely audible voice a few seconds later- "Ya... ya looked pretty, and I was starin' at you," He mumbled. "I fell asleep after, I guess."

You almost snickered. How did you fall for this idiot?

"H-hey, don't- don't give me that look!" He protested, a pout slowly appearing on his face. "Scoot over, I need to hug you."
