Scenario: You celebrate his birthday for the first time in person by making him a gift
---
Waking up from a deep sleep, I realized what day it was. I didn't forget but sometimes my headaches in the morning make me forget things. I was always very awkward around him. I was still not used to being able to express myself in front of someone, let alone in a relationship.
It was the first year I was able to celebrate Darryl's birthday with him rather than online through DMs and Twitter posts. Actions speak louder than words after all. We planned on spending the morning together and the afternoon was for spending time and celebrating with friends.
He didn't want to make a huge thing but I think he wants the attention but because of YouTube, it's hard for him to take it seriously. Darryl can become afraid of his friends trying to troll him or meme around and at this point, he expects it. Well, not from me because I'm sympathetic and care a lot what he thinks.
It wouldn't be a healthy relationship if I didn't show I cared and respected what he wants. He's not fully out with being bisexual on YouTube. He knows his community and they'll accept it but he'd rather have all of BBH/Skeppy be where it is rather than fuel it even more. He's already a little weirded out by all the fan fiction and fan art made of him and his best friend.
I'm still very tired because I stayed up late working on personal projects and watching videos but I know it wasn't the day to sleep until 11:30. I pull myself out of bed and quickly let my headache fade and look through my closet and drawers for something nice and find some clean things that were recently washed.
We didn't officially live together because there is a possibility of a break up and I'd rather wait until at least a year or so of dating for him to come to my place. He stays over at my house half the time because we're both committed in that way. I feel guilty about thinking about marriage but who knows if we'll last that long.
I almost tripped on my carpet but caught myself on the door, gladly not hitting my head. It did not hurt as much as the time I tripped up the stairs when I got super hyper during a livestream of mine.
I could hear Darryl yelling as loudly as his could and I quickly went down the stairs to the living room where he was on the phone with a pizza box in his hands.
"OH MY GOODNESS SKEPPY! THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANTED FROM YOU FOR MY BIRTHDAY" he groaned and half threw the pizza box on the table.
Based on the box and what Darryl was yelling, Zak must have bought him a thin crust pizza and started trolling him while streaming. I checked my phone and sure enough, it said "Skeppy is streaming".
"It's kind of a funny birthday gift, I think" I say to him, lifting up the box and sure enough, it was thin crust.
Darryl was clearly annoyed, "Okay I'm just going to go. I'm not going to let a muffin like you ruin my morning"
"OKAY LOVE YOU BYE!" Zak yelled before hanging up.
Although I don't want to troll or mess with him today, I couldn't miss the opportunity to say something based off of what Zak had said.
"Oh?" I raise my eyebrow, "He's your muffin now?"
He glares at me for a second but then smiles, "Really (Y/N)? You know I call everyone muffin."
Darryl pulled me in for a hug and I rested my chin on his shoulder, still looking at the pizza box because it's funny.
"You're my true muffin because you're so adorable"
I blush and smile and boop him on the nose. He turns pink as well and does an awkward smile. He's adorable when he does that smile and blushing. I like being able to make him happy.
We had to leave around 2:15 to hang out with the rest of our friends and I wanted to show him one of the projects I worked on for him.
I go a closet by the stairs and pull out a wrapped gift box. He sits patiently in one of his favorite chairs of mine and tries not to look eager of what I had made him.
He opened it and was confused when he saw black and red fabric. Darryl pulled it out of the box and realized it was a jacket. It wasn't just any jacket. It was one I had made based off on his Minecraft skin.
He hesitated with his response.
"Oh my goodness (Y/N). It's amazing! Thank you so much! You made this yourself?"
Daryl almost threw it across the room because he was so excited. He quickly got up and threw his arms around me giving me a big hug. I turn even more pink than before.
For awhile now, I've spent my spare time taking pieces of fabric and sewing them onto a jacket I altered to fit the BadBoyHalo style. I thought it would be a cool gift to represent how cool he is and how far he's come on YouTube.
A couple times Darryl caught me working on it so I've come up with weird excuses and reasons for what I was doing. I wanted to make it a surprise.
"I'm glad you like it! It took awhile to get the detailing right and I kept making mistakes"
He kissed my cheek and I'm surprised because he never showed affection more than a hug. He's so cute and I love him. He doesn't deserve getting spammed with all the memes and being trolled every second of the day.
