David Shaws birthday was an event he didn’t mark on calendars. Another year, yet he didn’t care much for the day itself. Everyone around him may have cared a little too much though.
Asher insisted that the big man himself have the day off.
“Why the hell would you work on your birthday? Take a break, eat some cake or something!”
David had way too much to do however. It didn’t make any sense to take the day off.
“Ash, we have piles of paperwork due next week not to mention that huge gig that’s happening the week after. I just don’t have time to take a break.”
Ashers eyes rolled so hard he probably could have seen the back of his head.
“Dude you’re not the only one who has works here. Me and Milo can cover any work that is needed today. I can probably even badger Christian into helping us out.”
“We got you so just go chill tomorrow alright? Dr Asher’s orders.”
So that’s why David found himself shopping on a Wednesday in the middle of Dahila.
At the start of the day he had already gotten a bunch of Happy birthday messages and 2 separate Venmo money transfers with such loving notes like-
“David I stg if you send the money back I will find you, jump you and throw this exact amount of cash in ur face. <3” (SweetHeart)
“For all the stress I put u through apparently” (Darlin)
So that’s how he landed smack dab in the middle of Dalia looking for something interesting with said money.
He’s been all around the mall at this point looking for something interesting, even making a b line to the Best Buy down the street and yet. Nothing piqued his interest.
“Maybe I should just grab Angel something.” He muttered while looking at his phone.
Then he realized if he came home and Angel saw he bought something for them on his birthday they might actually pop a blood vessel.
He’s already heard it before
“This is YOUR day which means it’s all about youuuu. No ifs ands or buts about it. Even if I do like your-“
He shakes his head, Even in a flashback that menace still can’t keep it PG.
He sighs and heads back to his car. Maybe he can just use the cash to order takeout instead for him and Angel. Technically it’s for him as well which finds a loophole in angels whole rule. Even if it’s a small one.
Angels phone buzzes, A text from David
Davey: On my way home. Couldn’t find anything interesting.
They were have way done with setting the house up for his surprise party. Asher had been on decorations with baabe there to help him stay on track.
Milo and Sweetheart were on cake duty and almost done.
Sam got done wrapping presents while Darlin and Lovely played a round of Mario Kart. While Vincent watched and helped Sam wrap. Cheering his lovely on.
Anton and Love made sure to plant the new plants David bought a while ago but hadn’t gotten around to doing it. Angel protested at first saying that they should relax but Love protested right back saying
“ I’d feel bored if I didn’t have anything else to do”
So they gave them that task which to their utter surprise they were apparently well versed at.
“ My mate has a-a bit of a green thumb” Anton spoke, staring at them with nothing but pure love.
It was adorable how much Anton gushed about them. But no time for that the group just lost a shit load of time.
“Alright!” Angel yelled out into the crowd “We have about 15 minutes to wrap this up so any ideas?”
Milo piped up “ The cake has 5 minutes left and Sweetheart can help me decorate it.”
Vincent raises his hand “ With my speed I can take care of the rest of the present while Sam helps with the decorations instead.” Sam nods along with Vincent words.
Lovely chimed as well “ Me and Darlin can help as well!” They said happily as they pushed up a surprised Darlin off the floor.
Alright I guess they had nothing to worry about…
15 minutes later everything was done and the room was dark. Asher’s giggling being shushed by the curly headed wolf beside him.
David got out of his car, bored out of his mind and just wanting to hold on to Angel for the rest of the foreseeable future.
“Just a few more steps” David grumbled as he fiddled with his keys.
Just as he opens the door-
the large friend group exclaimed to nothing?
Angel swears they just saw David he was right there-
“pfffttttt-“ Asher holds his mouth in suppressed giddy and a mix of amusement.
Angel traced his face and looked lower at the door way. Not that much lower since the wolf was huge. Wait a minute-
David sat there thinking about the many different ways he can jump Asher in his wolf form.
Angel held back a giggle. No that’s an understatement they held back a laugh that could echo from here to McKinley and back. They knew exactly what happened as well.
David had gotten jumpscared so hard he shifted as evident to his hoodie right behind him.
I mean he’s always talked about how much he hates surprises.
