Happy Birthday Minato
10:30 pm
It's your birthday today, I made you a cake. I invited you over, you said you were working late. Will we be able to enjoy dinner together? My stomach lets out a soft growl. Letting out a sigh of defeat, I realized you weren't coming over. Dinner just won't taste as good without you. I force myself to heat up the dinner I prepared. Laying on the couch I flipped on the tv. It's now 11, I resolve myself to the thought you aren't coming over. My eyelids become heavy. I realized I had fallen asleep on the couch. I check the clock it's 11:50 now. Resting my right arm over my eyes I try to hold back the tears, I just wanted a chance to celebrate with you. Was I asking for too much? How long did I lay there with my eyes closed? My left hand felt warm. Looking up, Minato was sitting on the coffee table holding my hand. I glanced at the clock 11:59.
"Happy birthday Minato."
He smiled at me.
"Seeing you today, made overtime worth it." He gave me a peck on the lips before scooping me into his arms. "Now let me recharge my battery."
"Wait Minato! I haven't had my bath!" I protested, squirming in his arms.
"Even better." He grinned and carried me to the bath.
He didn't let me sleep all night long.
"Good thing today is Saturday." I whispered as we cuddled in bed just as the sun was rising.
