Ezio couldn’t keep the smile off of his face when he saw the blanket fort, his eyes lighting up at how cute it was. He let out a soft laugh when Jacob pulled him down, settling himself so that he was leaning back between Jacob’s bent legs, his back resting against his husband’s chest. He accepted the gift with a murmur of gratitude, testing the weight of it in his hand. It felt like a book of some kind, and Ezio’s curiousity skyrocketed. “I am sure I will love it,” he reassured Jacob as he carefully pulled apart the wrapping paper, peeling each piece of tape off to eventually reveal what looked like a leather journal. Tilting his head back against Jacob’s shoulder, he opened it to the first page, letting out a soft gasp when he saw that it was a drawing of him. He was asleep, laying on his side with a few chunks of hair falling into his face. He brushed the pads of his fingers lightly over the page, admiring it before turning to the next. With each page he came upon, he grew more and more emotional, gazing upon multiple different drawings that Jacob did of their most pivotal moments. There were writings, too, Jacob’s thoughts about him and their relationship, so sweet that they made him want to cry. Then he turned to a page that contained flowers that had been lovingly pressed, the exact same flowers from their wedding day, and the dam broke. He allowed tears to stream down his cheeks, being careful not to get any on the pages, and when he had finally finished the journal he closed it gently and held it to his chest, reaching up with his other hand to cup the side of Jacob’s face. “Thank you,” he whispered, pressing a soft kiss to his lips. “It is beautiful, Jacob. I will cherish it for the rest of my life.” Another kiss, just as soft as the first. “I love you so much…”
Jacob just sat and watched as Ezio opened his gift. Jacob had been working on it for a while, not truly knowing when would be the right time to give it to him, but when the older man’s birthday rolled around he just got this feeling in him that now was the best time. He had been working on it for ages, racking through his brain of their memories together. Some people might think that what they had done was moving too fast but Jacob felt like it was the perfect pace for them and he hadn’t stopped loving not even one second of it. Despite their ups and downs, mostly his downs, they were weathering through it together and Jacob loved Ezio more than anything and anyone in his whole life. Jacob accepted the kisses, wrapping his arms around Ezio’s front as he leaned in pressing another kiss to his lips. “I wanted to get you something meaningful but going out and buying something didn’t say what I needed it to say. I just wanted to show you that nothing is more meaningful to me than you and us. The moments we spend together, big or small doing the things that make us happy. I’ve never met anyone like you in my whole life and I’ve never felt the way I do about you, for anyone in my life ever and I just thank whatever deity exists in this world that decided to make something so perfect for me and then just drop you in my lap. Happy birthday, Ezio Auditore Da Firenze, the man I love so much more than I think you’ll ever truly realize.” He leaned down again, hand coming to cup Ezio’s cheek turning his face so he could kiss him properly, trying to press every emotion into the way their lips slotted together.
