because of the very perfect boyfriend and gentleman he is, your birthday was a national holiday, bigger than christmas and new years, solely because it was celebrating you.

he had learned when you opened up to him, that you never really celebrated your birthday, no parties, no cake, no presents, nothing. and when he learned about it he had a goal: to make every birthday even more special and bigger than the last, and slowly through the years he learned what you liked and didn’t like, you especially did not like surprise parties, but you loved when he wrote you a handwritten letter of how much you mean to him.

this year was no different, he woke up at 3 am, and while you were dead asleep he set up the entire living room and dining room with huge bouquets of your favorite flowers, and on the coffee table was all of your gifts, which were a lot, and you’re favorite blanket ready to go on the couch, and then he slipped back into bed, and slept until you woke up.
