As Sebastian held you close to his chest, you could feel the warmth of his scaly skin and the gentle rhythm of his breath. His tail slid across the vent to his shop, ensuring that no one would disturb the intimate moment between the two of you.

"It's alright, it'll only be for a few minutes," he whispered, flashing a reassuring toothy smile. He reached into one of the bags strapped to his tail and pulled out an old tape recorder. With a click, the familiar notes of "Careless Whisper" filled the air.

Your eyes widened as the sultry saxophone melodies wrapped around the room. A soft chuckle escaped your lips as Sebastian's arms encircled your waist, guiding you into a slow dance. A slight blush tinged his cheeks as the most "romantic" part of the song approached.

Sebastian's gaze shifted nervously to the floor before meeting your eyes. "I would never forget your birthday, y'know," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

It was then that you realized, with a sinking feeling, that it was indeed your birthday today. No wonder Sebastian had orchestrated this elaborate and unexpected surprise.
