August stood in front of the other with something hiding behind his back. "Do you know what today is?" He asks, nearly buzzing with excitement. He pauses. "Okay, okay, I'll tell you! It's your birthday!" He smiles big, revealing a small cake from behind his back. "Celebrate together, yeah?"
( ✿ ) HE EXPECTS A LOT OF THINGS AT TIS POINT, when it comes to visiting with August. He EXPECTS books and deep talks of the supernatural, or the request for the occasional cleanse or to sew this or that that had been previously ripped on some trips to unknown destinations. But certainly, he did not anticipate this.
It’s not often he enjoys subject of attention to FOCUS on him. He’s a simple man who enjoys things to himself nor and would wish not to impart any type of strain to focus solely on him, because today was just a day of living, like any other day was. But it was apparent that August had other plans. A dimpled smile is sweet ‘pon his lips as a hand raises to cover his BUBBLING LAUGH. “It is?” The tattooist laughs, “well this is a surprise to me.” Not quite, but Auggie’s large smile that spreads on his face is enough for him.
OH GODS, and there’s a cake! When had his cheeks started flushing?
“That sounds lovely, August. Thank you, really.”
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAE! // @bookfed
