[ it r ur birfday ]

[powerisyours]

[ In years past, he'd simply made a cake and wrapped a few gifts and waited around until the birthday girl came back so that he could attempt to spoil her (and usually only succeed in making her mad and/or sad).

This year, however, he's changing it up a bit--the sun's just barely starting to rise and he's already puttering around as quietly as he can in the kitchen area, scraping together what will eventually presumably become someone's breakfast.

The someone who'll wake up to not only a big, steaming mug of coffee, but a full breakfast and one big, dumb, smiling boy roughly five inches from her face. ]

Somehow, I think I'd survive.

Also the sticky problem's solved with a bath.

[ridestherider]

I'll remember you said that if it happens.

[powerisyours]

We could go swimming in chocolate frosting.

[ridestherider]

I feel like that's probably less fun than it sounds overall.

[powerisyours]

Spoilsport.

[ But he's laughing and scooting a little closer to drop his chin on her shoulder ]

Anyway, this is your day. Whatever you want, it's yours.

[ridestherider]

Well ... what if I have no idea?

[powerisyours]

Then I'm sure I can think of something.

[ridestherider]

I wasn't expecting that much, is all.

[powerisyours]

You spoiled me on my birthday; I thought a little reciprocation was in order.

[ridestherider]

Well ... that was a little different.

[Dutifully sipping her coffee and trying not to seem mildly embarrassed.]

[powerisyours]

Is it, though? It isn't as if a repeat couldn't be in order.

[ thoughtfully! ]

[ridestherider]

[Choking on her coffee a little, whoops. That caught her off guard.]

[powerisyours]

I should probably be a little more careful about saying things like that, huh.

[ridestherider]

I can't breathe coffee, so maybe ...

[powerisyours]

And I like you very much alive.

[ridestherider]

I should hope so.

[powerisyours]

[ Leaning in to peck her cheek ]

I guess I grew up a little more than I thought.

[ridestherider]

Or else I've horribly corrupted you.

[powerisyours]

[ laughing ]

Kind of the same thing, isn't it? I'm not complaining.

[ridestherider]

You'd better not be.

[powerisyours]

I have very fond memories.

[ridestherider]

I just bet.

[Getting up to get more coffee.]

[powerisyours]

[ While she's doing that, he'll start clearing up her tray ... and maybe toss a few small leftover bits to the dogs ]

It was very informative.

[ridestherider]

I do have you pretty well-trained, don't I?

[powerisyours]

Everything I know is thanks to you, just about.
