@jasonbrenner asked: Jason doesn’t entirely understand birthdays, hasn't ever really thought anything of his own and certainly never thought much about anyone else’s. But things are different now that they're out. Much, much different. So, while Jonas was asleep Jason made some big calls and took some big leaps. He went out on his own, out in public without a chaperone. It was a big deal, terrifying, but worth it. Worth it to see Jonas's reaction when he woke up to find Jason with a bouquet of roses and a birthday cake with a dove on it.
He hasn’t thought much of his birthday in years, not since before the lab. The years have just come and gone, the days all a blur save for his time with Jason. Jonas hasn’t slept so good in quite some time, perfectly content in knowing that Jason would be right beside him when he woke up... only this morning, the bed is empty, the covers ruffled but no sign of Jason-- For a moment, the thought of Jason missing panics him, though once the initial morning fog wears off, it occurs to him that surely nothing bad has happened to his lover, he’s just overreacting.
Rubbing at his eyes, the redhead sleepily shuffles out of their bedroom, feathers puffing as he gives a brief stretch of his wings. “G’morning, baby--” Jonas pauses, a grin starting to spread across his face at the sight of Jason with a bouquet of red roses and a birthday cake; he can’t help let out a little chuckle at the mourning dove piped onto the surface.
“...Y-- Jase, you did this for me? By yourself?” Voice slightly shaky, he finds it difficult to keep his eyes from watering-- it certainly doesn’t miss him how important this moment feels, knowing just how uncomfortable it makes Jason to go out in public. For Jason, even talking with friends can quickly get overwhelming, so there’s an immense sense of pride that swells within Jonas’s freckled chest.
He takes the bouquet from Jason and gently sets it down on the counter before Jonas pulls the blond into a tight hug, head tilting to place little kisses on his cheek. “I-- Thanks, Jason.” Jonas shifts back just enough to press his forehead to Jason’s, nuzzling against him, press a deeper kiss to the blond’s lips. “I am so proud of you, babe... Best birthday ever.”
