I own nothing and no one. This is a cute little thing it kinda sucks but it is a first attempt. so here goes nothing...
Alex Shelley wakes up to the low beeping of the small alarm next to his head. He quickly turns it off to make sure it doesn't wake up his boyfriend of a year and a half, Chris Sabin. Alex slides out of his boyfriends arms and out of the bed they share. Alex goes into the bathroom of their apartment to take a shower because he feels disgusting from the Impact! taping last night and not being able to take a shower after it.
February 4 Chris' birthday I really hope this goes right. Please let it go right. I love him so much and I want him to know that.
As Alex is in the bathroom showering, Chris wakes up slightly looking for Alex's warm body. Chris hears the shower going and pulls Alex's pillow against him. The pillow still smells faintly of the man in the shower. Chris checks the alarm seeing that it is only 5:30. He makes sure the alarm is still set for 7:30 like usual then falls asleep holding Alex's pillow. Alex gets out of the shower and dresses quickly. At 7:30 the alarm goes off. Alex comes back in to the bedroom and turns off the alarm as Chris wakes up and looks at Alex from the bed. The man lying on the bed sits up and Alex puts a tray on the bed on Chris' lap. Chris pulls Alex down into a deep kiss, Alex pulls away.
Happy Birthday, Baby.
Thank you, Alex. Sit and eat with me. I know you haven't eaten yet.
Chris pulls Alex down next to him and they sit and eat.
I can't believe he cooked for me. He hates cooking. He has always said he cooks horribly but it is really good. I love him.
Alex runs a hand through the wild blond highlights of his lover's hair causing Chris to look up. Chris reaches up and plays with the large splotch of blonde on the side of Alex's head. Alex removes the tray from the bed and puts it in the kitchen. Chris follows Alex through the kitchen into the main room knowing he is up to something. Alex looks really nervous as he hands Chris a box that he tried his best to wrap. The two men sit on the couch as Chris opens the box. Inside the box is a photo album filled with pictures from when Chris was young to wrestling pictures to pictures of Alex and Chris together. Chris also pulls out a pack of empty photo pages, a 35mm camera, a box of 800 speed film, and a letter from the bottom of the box. Alex bites his lip harder, really nervous.
Oh please let him like it. I can honestly say I am scared he will think it is stupid.
Chris opens the letter
Dear Love,
I could not think of what to give for your birthday except this. A photo album filled with photos old and new. A camera so you can take more memories in film to never forget. A few rolls of film so that you are always prepared to take another memory down in film. A packet of album papers so that you can keep your memories safe inside your book and heart. Last, but not least by a long shot, my love for you. Though no physical form exist, I hope and wish you always know I love you.
Love,
Alex
Alex jumps when he feels two arms wrap tightly around him. Chris kisses Alex lightly.
Thank you so much Alex. I love you.
I love you too baby.
That was the sweetest thing Alex could have done. I love him so much.
