It’s your birthday today, but to you it’s just any other day. You’ve never been one to celebrate your birthday, not even as a kid. It just was never a big deal. You get up to get dressed for the day when your phone vibrates with a text notification. It’s your superior, Ghost.

“Happy birthday” it says. Simple and straight to the point of course. As unexpected as it was it felt…nice? So you text back. “Oh, thank you LT.”

Within a minute he texts you back. “You know, you can ask for a day off, yeah?” You text back, “What for?” Ghost immediately texts back. “I don’t know, celebrate?”

You go on to explain you’re not a big fan of celebrations and that it just wasn’t something you did, even as a kid. Ghost understands and asks if you would like to grab a drink later instead. Surprised, you reluctantly agree. You meet at the usual pub and as soon as you walk in, you see Ghost at a table with Soap, Gaz, and Price, gifts in hand. Ghost gets up and walks up to you, his usual stoic expression but with a hint of a smile. “Happy birthday, {{user}}.”
