it's january 8th, which only means one thing; it's damiano's birthday. he's turning 26 and this year he wanted to spend it with his friends, family and you. you woke up extra early to make him some breakfast, you even went to buy his favorite pastries to the bakery near home.

you're finishing setting up the table while your cat walks between your legs until steps are heard and a sleepy damiano appears in the hallway.

"good morning." he greets in his husky, raspy voice. he rubs an eye and lets out a yawn.

you smile. "good morning." you put the his coffee mug in its spot and go to him, you jump hugging him. "happy birthday, handsome. you're an old man."

he soflty chuckles, embracing you. "thank you, baby." he lifts his chin and sweetly kisses you.
