"You don't have to do anything for my birthday," Vik assured the other. "I mean it's sweet you want to but it's not like 31 is a milestone age. It's just another day really."
James gave a small smile and shrugged. Going from a summertime...fling was a strong word to use for anything James was involved in, but that turning to a proper relationship never failed to delight him. Vik was usually the one to spoil him, sure. And James...didn't exactly have the means to do a lot to return the favor. He still wanted to do something, however.
"It doesn't have to be a milestone, but it's still your birthday, so I want to do something for you." He leaned to press a small kiss to Vikram's cheek and gave some...pretty brutal puppy eyes he was learning to control. "Please? You went all out for mine even though you didn't have to."
Vikram smiled, oh his boy was ridiculously sweet "I didn't go all out expecting reciprocation," he said bringing James in for a soft kiss. He thanked the stars everyday his and James arrangement had turned into this. "But fine Sweetheart, I won't deprive you the same pleasure I got from spoiling you."

"You don't have to do anything for my birthday," Vik assured the other. "I mean it's sweet you want to but it's not like 31 is a milestone age. It's just another day really."
"I know I don't have to. I want to," Blake reassured. He brought a hand up to stroke Vik's cheek affectionately. "Milestone or not. Let me take the excuse to spoil you, yeah? You really gonna complain about that?" he teased gently.
Vik chuckled softly "Well I suppose when you put it like that it's pretty foolish of me to turn it down isn't it?" He chuckled softly. "If you insist then spoil me away Love."
"My name is (name) and I remember everything."
"What did they do to you?"
"Wait! Killing me won't make things right."
"That big motherfucker got a rocket launcher!"
"Those were some pretty slick moves back there. I'm good, but I'm not that good."
"It's nothing personal. But in an hour, maybe two, you'll be dead."
"I'm sorry. That's just the way it is."
"I'm surprised there's anyone left alive."
"Let's see how good they really are."
"I'm leaving town, and I suggest you all do the same."
"Who the fuck are you?"
"There's too many of them. Let's get out of here."
"You're not mutation, you are evolution."
"Somebody get this ugly bitch off of me!"
"Now, finish this. Put him/her/them out of his misery... And come with me."
"You're such a disappointment to me."
"You do what you have to do. I'm staying."
"We're assets. Expendable assets... and we've just been expended."
"I'm not on the menu."
Sorry I haven't been on much. Combination of real life issues and fixating on a video game to avoid those real life issues.
"This may sound really off the wall, but listen to me. You've got to believe me."
"I've not gone crazy, and I'm not fooling around."
"At first I thought I was losing my mind. But now I know I'm not."
"A world of someone's nightmarish delusions come to life."
"Little by little the invasion is spreading. Trying to swallow up everything in darkness."
"I get it now. Why I'm still alive even though everyone else's dead."
"I'm the same as them. I just hadn't noticed it before."
"It's too soon to give up. This Craziness can't go on forever."
"Did you see those monsters? Have you ever seen such aberrations? Ever even heard of such things?"
"You and I both know creatures like that don't exist."
"Take this, and hope you don't have to use it."
"For the seven years since that terrible day, (name) has been kept alive, suffering a fate worse than death."
"That day has finally come. The time is Nigh!"
"Everyone will be released, from pain and suffering. Our salvation is at hand. This is the day of reckoning."
"Strength must overcome petty desire."
"Quit screwing around! Return things to how they were before!"
"Nobody uses me! You won't get away with this!"
"Your role is over. We don't need you anymore. What do you think you can accomplish by coming here?"
"My, aren't we getting cocky?"
"Under whoever created this darkness. (name) is somewhere and she needs my help."
"Was it not as I said? I see it all now- Yes everything."
"I knew this day would come… and the task is almost finished."
"Even in daytime, darkness will cover the sun, the dead will walk and martyrs will burn in the fires of hell. Everyone will die!"
"You've been a ghastly little pest, haven't you (name)?"
"The fear of blood tends to create fear for the flesh."
"That’s strange, it’s getting darker."
"I don’t want to think so, but maybe this is all just going on in my head"
"It's strange… It's quiet. Too quiet. This place is like a ghost town."
"Nothing is to be gained from floundering about at random. You must follow the path."
"Once more, it's no problem." Rick replied as he got a text back. "... Okay, I got some responses. Are you more interested in getting drunk, finding someone to sleep with, or partying. I was given two clubs and an event we could go to, since Lottie figured if you're going to sleep with someone, you may at least prefer to wake up in a luxury apartment or better than somewhere else. That said, she is also apparently willing to give tips if you would like to string someone along for a bit to get some nice gifts out of them." Rick informed her, seeing that Lottie's former life as a con woman still apparently colored her choices.
Jia snorted in amusement "Lottie is amazing, be sure to tell her I said so," she said with a grin. "I'm pretty good at getting my own gifts out of people but I'll never turn down gifts."
"Though if these are classy places I'll have to rework my outfit plans," she stood up.
"What about our lives, you son of a bitch?"
"There's gotta be a way of killing it. How? How do we do it?"
"I admire its purity. A survivor... unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality."
"I can't lie to you about your chances, but... you have my sympathies."
"You were gonna leave us out there!"
"I can't do that and if you were in my position, you'd do the same."
"Listen to me, if we break quarantine, we could all die."
"We have to get him to the infirmary right away."
"You do your job and let me do mine, yes?"
"Well, it's an interesting combination of elements making him/her/them a... tough little son-of-a-bitch."
"Then we'll blow it the fuck out into space. Is that acceptable to you?"
"We take our chances and... just hope that somebody will pick us up!"
"Unless somebody has got a better idea... we'll proceed with (names) plan."
"This son of a bitch is huge!"
"I don't wanna hear your Goddamn explanation."
"Bones are bent outward, like he/she/they exploded from inside."
"This is the worst shit I've ever seen, man."
"You got any biscuits over there?"
"Oh, I feel dead."
"Anybody ever tell you you look dead?"
"Quit griping."
"I like griping."
"I wanna go home and party."
"It's not in my contract to do this kind of duty. Now what about the money? If you wanna give me some money to do it, I'll be happy to, uh, t-to, you know, oblige."
"So, um, we think we should discuss the bonus situation..."
"I don't wanna hear your Goddamn explanation."
"Don't worry, (name), yeah. You'll get whatever's coming to you."
"I'll volunteer to be in the first group to go out."
"It's got a great defense mechanism... you don't dare kill it."
"It's a robot! (Name) is a goddamn robot!"
"Well, how about a little something to lower your spirits?"
"Thrill me, would ya?"
"I mean most animals retreat from fire, yes?"
"The first thing I am going to do when I get back is get some decent food."
"I don't want to know what it's made of."
"Oh, God. It's moving right towards you. Move. Get out of there. Behind you. Move. (Name). Move, (name)!"
"Come on, cat."
"Wait a second, what about you, where are you going?"
"Ohhh. Sorry, about that, babe!"
"What do you want? I'm trynna sleep here."
"This place will eat you alive if you aren't careful."
"I'm just a woman/man/person who fell in love with you. Nothing more."
"Don't worry, I'll protect you but you have to make sure you don't leave my side."
"Something tells me he's/she's/they're not a cop."
"Man, why doesn't anyone ever listen to me?"
"Then you won't die alone."
"That's why I told you to leave without me, but you wouldn't listen!"
"Now hand it over! Don't make me shoot you."
"You lose, big guy!"
"I really wanted to escape with you. Escape from everything... goodbye."
"It's too late... we both know it."
"No! I promised you that we would escape! You just have to help me out here!"
"Shut up! You're going to make it!"
"How could they do this after everything I have done for them?"
"That guy's a maniac! Why'd he bite me?"
"Get that scum. MAKE HIM PAY!"
"Nobody's going to leave my town, everyone's going to die!"
"Are you crazy? The streets are crawling with zombies!"
"That maniac's gonna ram us!"
"And to think that taxidermy used to be my hobby... but no longer!"
"If you don't want to listen, I don't really care. You're about to die anyway."
"You really don't know anything, do you? You're so gullible."
"Look if you wanna live, you're gonna have to leave with me!"
"This is not how I imagined my first day."
"You can't hesitate. Take 'em out if you can, or you run."
"Looks like there might be a way out through this secret passageway."
"So nobody knows what caused this?"
"Bet he's/she's/they're not part of the rescue squad."
"Now I'm gonna smell like shit, literally."
"Enough with this cat and mouse game."
"The game is over. You lost."
"You trust that bitch?"
"Gonna burn me alive now?"
"We can get a puppy!"
Dragon Age II - Purple Hawke Starters
"Where are we going? How should I know? Do I look like the leader of this merry band of misfits?" "What earth-shattering matter requires my attention this time?" "'(Name) this, (Name) that'. Why does everything fall to me?" "We do a lot of walking, don't we?" "So what have you thought of the weather lately?" "Can we talk about this? No?" "At least it's not boring!" "And we're under attack. What a surprise!" "Showing up uninvited? So improper!" "You wouldn't consider dying would you?" "Making the world a better place, one enemy at a time!" "One more for me. We're keeping score, right?" "Showing concern for others, (name)? Tongues will wag." "If you could bring your family back from the dead, that's what you'd want? For them to be disappointed in you?" "Does it have to be gravy? Couldn't it be chocolate instead?" "You could never get a straight answer out of the man. Everything was a joke. People say I take after him." "Did it have anything to do with finding another use for those chains?" "I suspect that's an insult." "You'd look grand next to the (surnames). All coiffed and...buttressed." "(Name), my bulbous cherub, you must hear the droning of Lord Full-Of-Shit." "And when have I ever stayed in my place?" "Uh, does that mean I should stop doing that, too?" "You might struggle with the "obedience to authority" part." "Well, you know where you can "uphold" them." "But they're such fun! And you're so old now!" "Do you have an estate? I have an estate." "Like a dragon! Guarding my treasure hoard. Shall I eat passerby? Maybe I can demand virgin sacrifices." "You find something inappropriate?" "We do seem to spend a ridiculous amount of time in the city." "Like I don't have enough people trying to kill me already?" "Brilliant! Why didn't I think of that?" "Oooh, cloak and dagger phrases! How about...the queasy crow...flies at midnight?" "Someday, I'd like to go one week without meeting an insane mage. Just one week." "I'd like to know who this (name) is. With a name like that, he's bound to go "mwa-ha-ha" at some point. I know it." "I have an excellent sense of dramatic timing. And good hair." "Let's be more specific. I don't do anything involving children or animals." "Oh, that's all? I think I'd rather take my chances with the darkspawn." "Strange occupation for a Warden(soldier). Aren't you more about taint and death, not healing and salvation?" "He still thinks about dog things. Just with more clarity." "I'm worried about you. You're enjoying this a little too much." "Is it brilliant or horrible that you play diamondback with my dog?" "You should set up shop. It's no worse than your current digs." "Well, if she ever left the house, (name) would probably steal that, too." "I don't want to think of it myself." "Keep thinking good thoughts." "No worries, everything is dandy now." "Keeping secrets, brother(sister/sibling)? Tsk." "I'll check under your best when we get home." "Right, can't be that big of a job. Saving the world." "I'll arrange a "thanking queue" when we're back in town." "Oh yes. Bon-bons and peppermints until I am absolutely stuffed. All right, I didn't mean it like that." "We do attract a peculiar kind of fortune." "Go with your strengths I guess." "And dumb luck. That's the other reason you're alive." "So kill everything lower than your upturned nose?" "If you like, we could leave a strongly worded note on his grave and go." "And the church says it's all about protecting families." "They gave me a medal. It's shiny." "Coming on a bit strong, (name). We've only just met." "You're right. I'm feeling so close to you right now."
He chuckled softly.
"I would be honored if you named him after me."
Every moment he spent with the shifter made him feel more and more deeply for him.
He leaned in now, placing a small kiss on Vik's nose.
"You're adorable."
Vik chuckled softly "Adorable huh? You know that's not usually the descriptor that's used for me. Not that I'm complaining," he said with a soft smile. "You're pretty adorable yourself."

"You don't have to do anything for my birthday," Vik assured the other. "I mean it's sweet you want to but it's not like 31 is a milestone age. It's just another day really."
"And may I ask what has lead you to volunteer for such a difficult job?" he asked, smirking a bit as he joked back in response.
Bryn smirked "Well I've never been one to shy away from a difficult task," she said with a small chuckle. "Though I don't think this is a task I'll have much issue with completing."
"Now I am quietly waiting for the catastrophe of my personality to seem beautiful again, and interesting, and modern." -Frank O'Hara
"When I get outta here... think I'm gonna get laid."
"It brings the dead back to life?"
"I'm not dead yet."
"I could kiss you, you bitch!"
"I shot her/him/then five times. How was she/he/they still standing?"
"You're all going to die down here."
"She/He/They took a chunk clean outta me."
"Bitch wouldn't open the door, so I had to fry her/him/them."
"I don't want to be one of those things. Walking around without a soul."
"That homicidal bitch killed my team."
"That homicidal bitch may be our only way out of here."
"I've been a bad, bad girl/boy/person."
"Your boyfriend's/girlfriend's/partner's a real asshole."
"All the people that were working here are dead."
"You're going to have to work for your meal."
"Implore away!"
"I don't deal in chance."
"I don't know what we had, but it's over."
"IWhen you cut the power, you unlocked the door; you let them out!"
"I'm missing you already."
"Stay conscious. You're going into shock."
"I wouldn't wanna shoot you. I might need the bullets. Back off!"
"Don't listen to anything she/he/they say(s). She's/He's/They're only trying to deceive us... confuse us."
"I'm not sure I wanna remember what went on down here."
"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: It goes on." -Robert Frost
