you came back from work, absolutely tired, and looking forward to cuddling with your boyfriend, xiao.

when you came home, you didn't see him in the living room nor the bedroom, you looked around and found him in the kitchen.

he was covered in flour and icing, decorating a cake which obviously had lots of effort even though it was messy.

you paused at the doorway, your voice tired "xiao?"

he paused and turned to you "oh," a small smile appeared on his face "hello, love... I-.." he looked towards the mess "tried to make a cake...for your birthday."

this time, it was your turn to pause. today was your birthday, and you totally forgot! yet he remembered.
