jay was always the perfect boyfriend for you, but what really made your heart melt was the way he took care of every detail. being lactose intolerant, parties and desserts have always been a challenge for you. birthday cake? ice cream? they were almost like unattainable dreams.

but for jay, it was never a problem, just an opportunity to show you how much he loved you. Weeks before his birthday, he started experimenting with recipes. "nothing with milk, nothing with butter. only the best for her", he said to himself, as he mixed ingredients in the kitchen, his apron already covered in flour.

on your birthday, you walked into the kitchen and found jay with a huge smile on his face, holding a beautiful cake, decorated with fruit and a creamy frosting that, you knew, didn't even have a hint of lactose. “try it!”, he asked, his eyes shining with expectation.

you took the first bite and were speechless. it was perfect. sweet, soft, and made with so much love that you almost cried right there. “you’re amazing, you know that?”, you said, hugging him.

“i know,” he kisses your forehead. "but i'm nothing without my official taster."

he even surprised you with homemade vegan ice cream, which he had spent hours learning how to make. at the end of the day, you were as full of sweets as you were of gratitude. With jay by your side, even things that seemed impossible became special, and you knew you were lucky to have the sweetest boyfriend in the world.
