July 3rd
He may look like a cold man, and he may not be the best when it comes to sweet talk or expressing his feelings, but he loves you dearly. And he also regularly one-ups you regarding attention and spoiling. That's why you've been looking for an occasion to finally give back to him, and his first birthday since you've been in a relationship with him seemed just perfect.
You had a surprise (or more than one) for him, but you avoided the birthday topic in the previous days, so it's likely that he thinks nothing special will happen today. Of course, he's not one to whine about it, but you noticed a tinge of disappointment in him since you got him to believe you didn't care about his birthday. Your end goal was to surprise him and melt his heart completely; you wanted to see him drop the serious façade for at least one day, maybe also get him to feel a bit emotional, but most of all, you wanted him to feel extremely pampered.
It's finally show time when you wake up, way earlier than usual, and he's still sound asleep next to you.
