WHO: Adam and Westly
WHAT: Morning of Adam's Birthday
WHEN: Morning of August 28th
WHERE: Their house in Venice
RATING: R, yeah it will get there
STATUS: Closed / In Progress

Throughout the whole summer Westly had actually gone back on his word of sleeping in every day. At least four times a week, Westly had been getting up earlier than Adam even, and for at least an hour was spent on Westly's painting. A portrait actually, of Adam sleeping. It was true when Westly said he didn't paint portraits a lot. He didn't like being watched while he did it. But he had promised Adam before he would do a painting for him, and even if his boyfriend didn't remember or ask about his painting, he kept his promise anyway. He compromised of course, with a portrait of a sleeping Adam. It was precarious at times... since Adam was never usually in the same position, so Westly would have to nudge him a bit without waking him. After the hour was done, he'd keep his work hidden and crawl back into bed and back to sleep curled up next to Adam.

This morning was different however. The painting was done and ready just in time for Adam's 18th birthday. They hadn't been able to celebrate Westly's birthday since they started dating after the fact... but Westly knew he had to do something special for Adam. So Wes had gotten up to arrange his easel set up by the bed with a small cloth to cover the painting till he was ready to reveal it. He crawled back into bed, and placed a kiss on Adam's lips and stroked his hands down Adam's chest. "Wake up birthday boy," he said softly waiting for Adam to wake up.

"Well, I have a birthday ritual that I haven't broken since I was legally allowed to travel by myself." Adam spoke softly, his tone careful so as not to ruin the atmosphere of love that enveloped ther two of them. Carefully, he sat back on the mattress and tugged at the other's hand so he could sit on his lap. "I've always left to travel, to go to a place I haven't been on before. Last year, I had gone to Mumbai, India where I soaked everything in for a whole day, and experienced the culture the way it was supposed to be celebrated."

A pause as Adam reached a hand up to brush against Westly's neck, then down his chest. "This year, I've already made plans to carry out the tradition, if you don't mind..." he trailed off meaningfully and looked away, with the purpose to mislead. Then he looked back at Wes with a smile on his face. "But I've made reservations for two, if that's something you'd find okay..." A grin.

"Well let's hear it," Westly said, letting Adam pull him back into his lap. He smiled listening to Adam's softer tones, trying to keep the mood of the morning. He listened curiously as Adam talked about his trip to India the year before. Definitely extravagant. "I believe I remember someone telling me once, you should spend your birthday with all the people you care about," Westly said. He didn't like the sound of Adam going off on his own, even if it was to somewhere fascinating.

But he kept listening and leaned into Adam's hand that was brushing his neck and then his chest letting out a sigh. He didn't make a reaction when Adam said he'd already made plans... well it was his tradition, he could do what he wanted- But then Wes looked at that smile on his face carefully, and he let his excitement show when Adam admitted that Westly would be coming too. "That's more than okay. Where are we going?"

The grin plastered on his features grew when Westly exressed his exictement over their plans for the day. "Well..." he started, tapping his chin thoughtfully. "Well... I was in the mood to go to the other side of the world..." Adam told him, leaning back on his elbows on the mattress and looking up at ceiling just past the other straddling his waist. "A place with a culture I have found most intriguing for years. Tea rituals and Geiko's. Noh dramas and Sushi. Relazing hot springs in the snowy mountains." His gaze darted to Westly. "How is your japanese, Westly?"

Westly stared down at Adam where he sat up straddling the other's waist, and his hands were tracing patterns on Adam's chest absently, as he waited to hear where Adam was taking them. It sounded intriguing already and Westly had his suspicions but when Adam finally let it out, Westly practically giggled. "We're going to Japan?!" he was even more excited now. "Oh Merlin, I've always wanted to go! When are we leaving? How long are we staying for," Westly said leaning down against Adam's chest, asking question after question. "I know a little bit... I'm a little rusty, haven't practiced my languages for a couple of years now. But who cares! We're going to Japan!"

The excitement reflected in Westly's features confirmed to Adam that he had been right in picking their location. He had been torn between the warm humid beaches of Cancun or the hot springs of Japan. The latter won over.

"Yes, we are." Adam announced, his arms wounding around the other's form when he settled on his chest. "I'm glad you've never been there, and actually want to go." When asked when they were leaving, his eyes darted to the clock on their nightstand. "By lunch. We're scheduled to travel by Portkey downtown. And I've always stayed for only one day. Part of the ritual." he told him. "And don't worry. My japanese is superb. I've been re-reading these past days. Now..." he patted the other's waist. "... we should start packing now, dont you think?"

Wes calmed down a bit as he laid on Adam's chest and let the other hold him. Now that he knew where they were going for sure, Wes was just listening to Adam and was all smiles. "Alright, all sounds good to me," Wes said about leaving at lunch. And he was okay with just a day. He'd have to get ready to go back to Hogwarts... but he wouldn't think about that now.

"Well... we don't have to start packing right away," Wes said with a little bit of a pout when Adam was patting his waist. He didn't want to move yet. He just wanted to enjoy being close to Adam. It was Adam's birthday after all, and he didn't want to break out of the mood they were in yet.

Adam pouted when Westly didn't move, but otherwise did not protest. He liked the simple pleasures that he was afforded from having the man he love dretsing comfortably against him, his weight on him a delicious buden he would gladly carry. "Well, we could lie here, first yeah..." he agreed, getting more comfortable as he closed his eyes and relaxed. "I'm planning for us to go to Tokyo first, where I want to experience only one place: Harajuku. We could go anyweher, eat anything you'd like. I already went to Gringott's beforehand for whatever we need, made transactions in changing my Galleons to Yen." he said proudly. "Do you think I'm missing anything?"

Westly was glad Adam did not protest to moving, and he settled comfortably onto of him trailing his fingers over Adam's bare shoulders while he listened to his boyfriend's plan for them. "I highly approve," Westly said grinning at where Adam wanted to go. "And other than that I just want to get in a lot of shopping," he said supplying what he wanted to do. He shook his head when Adam asked if he was missing anything, but there was one thing. "You said Tokyo was first... what are we doing after that?"

"Shopping?" Light brows drew together in curiosity. "What are you planning to buy?" he asked, looking down at the man in his arms. The clothes in Japan, as he'd recall were a bit... eccentric. It wasn't very Westly, though an image of his boyfriend in a maid's get up was amusing. He looked away laughing, but recovered quickly when asked. "Well, that would be a surprise. I don't want to feed you everything we're doing. That wouldn't be fun. The point of this tradition is to go with the flow..."

"Mmmhmm," Westly said grinning and looking at Adam's curious look. "Well... some designer jeans, some funky shirts... well I can't tell you everything. You'll just have to wait and see," he said, and didn't feel so bad about it when Adam was withholding on information. "Excuse me, we're already breaking tradition because I'm going with you. So you always know what you're doing, so I should know too!"

"I don't always now what I'm doing." Adma retorted gently in a matter-of-fact tone. "There is one reason I want to go to certain places. I do them once I get there, but the rest of the things I do are products of sponteneity. It's fun." His hands absently ran up and down Wes' spine as he spoke, a gesture that relaxed him more than anything. "Come on, just... let me surprise you? I promise you you'll adore me for it. Well... adore me more..." he chuckled heartily.

"Now come on, don't be so hard on yourself," Westly said to Adam's matter-of-fact tone. Maybe he was spontaneous a lot of the time, but he actually planned a lot too. "It does sound fun, but you can't honestly wander through a whole country without a plan. We only have a day after all," he said pouting his curiosity at it's height now. "Can't you at least tell me where we are staying the night? I already love you, but I'm rather impatient when waiting for things that make me adore you more."

"Oh, I always plan. I have a plan for everything, you know that. But I was just explaining that in the tradition, I never always know where I am going, who I'll end up meeting, where I sleep... It's the whole point of everything. Living. But I'm always equipped with an escape plan the next day just in case. This time though, I am with company. I cannot just let you sleep... anywhere. No." He shook his head lightly, brush strokes of blond hair falling over his face. He blew at them impatiently. "This time, I cam eprepared. But I will not tell you. Live a little, love. You'll know within the day anyway!"

Well Westly supposed it was a bit of comfort to know that Adam did know where they were staying for the night... even if he wouldn't tell him. "Alright fine. I'll just have to wait," Wes said with a sigh reaching up to brush the hair out of Adam's face. But still... Adam's explanation left him unsettled. The way Adam said not knowing who he'd meet... and where he would sleep. He didn't like the sound of it.

"Something on your mind?" Adam asked. there was a srange expression that crossed Wesly's features when he had explained how he does his tradition. It was one that left him wondering what was going through his mind, and like with most things, Adam doesn't like being left in the disuieting silence. A hand circled the wrist Westly was using to brush his hair back from his features. "Tell me..." he whispered, but there was a tone akin to begging intertwined with his words.

"I don't really... want to say," Westly said when Adam grabbed his wrist and asked him to tell. It wasn't important... and Westly didn't want to think about it anyway. It was in the past, when Adam and Wes hadn't even thought of being together so it shouldn't even matter... "When you say... you didn't know who you'd meet up with, or where you'd sleep... are you saying that-" Wes said but stopped and bit his lip. "Nevermind, I don't want to know," he said burying his face in Adam's shoulder.

Adam's gaze didn't falter from Westly's face even through the uick succession of emotions that crossed his features. He was silenced instantly by the look of pain in those eyes, then sighed, wrapping his arms tighter around the other's shoudlers when he hid on his shoulder. He was about to answer his uesions when the other expressed hwo he didn't want to know after all. Yes, he had been with different people in different countries before, but even so, he's always considered that he's still spent his birthdays alone. "I'm spending my birthday with someone I love for the first time today." He told him. "The first time. I understand if you'd rather not hear what has happened in my past, even though I know you have an idea. But I would like tto ask that you... do not dwell on such thoughts? I'd rather not think about it myself..."

It was stupid really. Westly knew that Adam had been with other people. Even the other countries bit he knew too, since Adam lived in Venice on his own for how long now? But it was still annoying to think about. Even if Westly was guilty of the same thing... He lifted his head up when Adam said he was spending it with him someone he loved. "I know..." Westly said leaning up to kiss Adam quickly. "I'm just being stupid... worrying about things like that. You don't worry about things I may have done."

"Oh? You think so?" Adam countered, laughing. If only Westly knew how much it brought him physical pain to simply think of the scene he had seen in the past Christmas Party, when Westly had been with some other man. What more anguish did he bring upon himself when he thought of what could have happened if he had not walked in on them, what has happened with Westly and other men. Jealousy would tear at his chest, but he often just hid it to himself, knowing no good would come of it if he'd dare let Westly know that he's been thinking about such nonsensical matters.

"No, don't say that. You're not stupid." Adam said, taking the other's face in his hands. "Look at you. I've upset you. I should have been more careful with the things I've said. Sorry." He leaned up to kiss his cheek. "Let's not think about it any longer. This day is all about you and me. Saying I'm... excited about it is a shameful understatement. Now, should we pack? We can bring one luggage for both our things?" It was such a couple thing to do, but to him, it has become quite... natural. "For your purchases- which I would think would be a lot- we can just bring a bigger luggage, put the smaller one in it so we'll only have to shrink one." A grin.

"Yes... that is what I think," Westly said considering Adam for a moment. If he did worry about it, he never let him know about it. And Adam was certainly there more, for... Westly sudden encounters. Like the french boy at Christmas. And Scorpius, which was completely not his fault.

"I forgive you," Westly said when Adam kissed his cheek. He would have gone on about how he'd read into all that himself but... he didn't want to think about it anymore either. "Okay," he said. He needed to get back into his excited mood, because really, it was exciting. They were going to Japan! "Sounds practical. We're only going for one day," he said nodding in agreement and grinned when Adam suggested the extra bag for his purchases. "Yes I certainly approve. You know me so well." Westly took that moment to steal another kiss.

After the last kiss placed in his mouth, Adam smiled and patted the other's waist again before shifting him to the side and moving off of the bed and into the walk-in closet at one corner of the room, wearing only his black silk boxers.

It was interesing to see how the space had been divided equally, with one side housing Adam's things and the other Westly's. They were becoming such a... couple. It was interesting to think of hw they were at the beginning of their relationship; he really had not anticipated that he would be standing where he was nw the year before.

With quick waves of his wand, two large luggages- one smaller than the other- flew down from the topmost shelf to the center of the room before he started magically folding and arranging his clothes on the bag. He filled only half of the bag. "Oh, and bring your... swimming trunks, yeah?" he told Westly as he packed his toiletries. "Unless you'd rather swim naked, that would be complately fine with me..."

Westly pouted a bit when Adam carefully pushed him off and got up and off the bed. He knew they had to go in a little while... but still Westly liked being lazy in the morning. So he just repositioned himself on the bed watching Adam head over to the closet.

When Westly saw their closet, he was mostly surprised that Adam had enough to equal his own wardrobe. And that it all fit in the closet... but it could have been transfigured to fit more. Westly had just never asked Adam if he'd done anything to it.

He arched an eyebrow at that suggestion. "We're going swimming?" he asked as if to get a hint of what they were doing. By now Westly actually got off the bed to go pick out his own clothing he needed to pack. "It sounds like you'd prefer for me to leave them home."

"Swimming..." Adam echoed reflectively, placing his packed toiletries neatly over his immaculately folded shirts in the bag. "Perhaps." he said with a shrug, his tone neither affirming or denying it. He chanced a look at Wes as he entered the closet, then smirked at the question. "Am I that transparent?" he asked, grinning broadly as he took a chair that was propped in the corner of the room and brought it beside the open bags, turned it so it was facing him before he straddled the seat, propping his folded arms on the back. For a second he was merely content in watching his boyfriend move about the space. "Although if you prefer to bring them, I'm not going to protest of course. Clothing will always be optional between the two of us. You can put some on, you can not put them on. It all depends on your mood, really." he babbled on. "And stop trying to figure out what we're doing and where we're going. I want to be able to surprise you!"

"Useless..." Westly muttered to himself when Adam hadn't given away any details. So they were going somewhere with the option of swimming... or being in water. And at least private enough that Wes didn't have to wear a bathing suit if he didn't want too. "Yes, you are," Westly said grinning to Adam's question. But then he busied himself in the closet picking a couple of his favorite shirts, and jeans. He came back out to lay the stuff on the bed and he watched Adam curious the way he was sitting, watching him. "Yes but I still know what you prefer," he said when Adam was still on the clothing. He stuck his tongue out at Adam and started folding his clothing and put them in his half of the luggage. "Meanie," Westly said when he wasn't allowed to figure it out.

"I resent that fair, Westly." Adam said dramatically, a hand now poised over his heart as if truly hurt by his words. "I'm no meanie. I'm being very nice to you. Surprising you, taking you travelling. Loving you like a decent almost-husband should." The words, though unintentionally said, felt... true. They were living together, weren't they? Constantly planning their lives with each other, sleeping in the same bed. He qualifies int he category superbly.

The pause for his thoughts was breif, hardly noticeable. "You'll thank me for keeping you in the dark late. Oh, and I suggest you bring the trunks just in case." he said, smiling. "I like unwrapping my gifts." A hearty chuckle.
