A slightly warm wind blew on the street as Curly headed towards the Curtis house, his hands in his pockets. On his face was a scowl at how his boyfriend was acting when he tried to call him earlier. The younger male had answered the phone pleasant enough but as soon as Curly had said anything he had hung the phone up. He had tried to call back and got the same response. The third time Soda had answered the phone and informed Curly that he wasn't talking to him.

So throwing on his shoes he started on his way to the Curtis household, ascending the steps when he got there. Opening the door he went to call out for Pony when the words died in his throat. On the wall there was a sign that said 'Happy Birthday, Pony' along with a few balloons that were losing their helium.

"Oh fuck I didn't," Curly said, holding his hand over his mouth.

Going over to the calendar that was on the wall, he looked at the date and saw sure enough yesterday was Pony's birthday. He didn't even realize that the day had been getting close, let alone passed. Cursing again he went to where Pony's room was and knocked lightly on the closed door.

"Who is it?" Pony asked from the other side.

"A jackass," Curly responded.

"Well I'm not really interested in talking to a jackass, thanks,"

"Pony please open the door," Curly said, leaning his forehead against the wood.

"No,"

"Please? I'm sorry I missed your birthday I'm horrible with dates,"

"The worst part is that you didn't even call me yesterday and your brother did, hell even Angela said happy birthday to me when I saw her at the DX when I went there with Darry to get Soda from work,"

Curly frowned even more and sighed deeply, hitting his head on the door again.

"I didn't even want a physical present from you, just a god damn kiss and a hug would have been enough, Curly," Pony said, from the other side of the door.

"Pony please open the door and let me apologize right," Curly said, putting his hand on the door.

"You are so unobservant," Pony said.

"Huh?"

"The doors not locked," Pony said, in a bit of an amused voice, the hurt still more present however.

Curly mouthed 'oh' and turned the handle, moving into the room finding Pony sitting on the bed. Moving over to him, he kneeled down between his legs resting his forearms on Pony's legs.

"I am so sorry,"

"I bet you are," Pony said, looking up at him.

"Well can I give you want you wanted from me yesterday? Try and make up for what I forgot,"

"It would be a start," Pony said.

Moving his arms he wrapped them around Pony's waist, pulling the male close and nuzzling his face into the side of his neck. Pony wrapped his arms lightly around his neck, sighing a little. Squeezing him tightly for a sec Curly pulled back and leaned in again and pressed their lips together. Licking his bottom lip lightly, he dipped it into Pony's mouth and pulled him close.

Their lips not breaking, Curly stood up and moved them more onto the bed, holding himself over Pony.

"I love you Pony," He said, pressing their foreheads together.

"I love you too Curly," Pony said, smiling lightly.

"I know you aren't going to forgive me that easily, but I'm willing to kiss and hug you almost endlessly till you do,"

"Then get to it," Pony said, running the fingers of one hand through Curly's hair.

"My pleasure,"
