Though he was normally the last person to admit it, Dorian thought it was fair to call himself a halfway decent baker. He would also admit that he did not have nearly enough practice making birthday cakes. It didn’t really matter though. The fact that he was trying at all was more the point. He’d done the whole baked goods as a birthday present before. He’d almost become known for it among his friend group and immediate family. But this was Jonas. It was different.
It was also a well known fact that Dorian couldn’t keep a secret to save his life. So the fact that he’d managed to keep this cake’s planning and existence from Jonas had to have been some kind of divine intervention. He’d closed the store early to give himself enough time to get home and actually bake and properly ice and decorate the cake. He’d forgotten how relaxing baking was for him.
He hadn’t thought far enough ahead to set up an elaborate surprise. He’d admittedly been too focused on making sure the cake came out alright. So when Jonas came back from walking the dogs, he crossed the room to him and wrapped his arms around the other man’s waist. He took a long moment to just be there and hold him before he leaned up to kiss him gently.
« happy birthday. i love you! »
