RP: I know it's your birthday, but... When: 30 January, 2004 Who: Adrian, Stephen Where: Cornfoot Private/Public: Private Rating: Summary: It's Adrian's birthday, but they barely get some time alone before the funeral
Stephen had slept badly all night long. It was rare that he didn't sleep peacefully. Maybe it was the fact that he barely got seven hours per night, or maybe it was the fact that he was generally happy and calm. Either way, not sleeping was not something he was used to, and it was a shock to wake up that it was past nine in the morning. On the other hand, there was a good surprise too: Adrian was in his bed.
It wasn't the first time they spent the night together. In fact they'd spent most nights together for the past two years, but it was always in Adrian's bed, in Adrian's house, with Stephen leaving early in the morning so he could be at breakfast with his family. This - Adrian in his bed - was new, and Stephen liked it despite the reason why it was happening.
"Hey, baby. Happy birthday," he said when Adrian opened his eyes. "You're officially older than me again."
