Happy Birthday Pieck
It was Pieck Finger's birthday today, and ordinarily, someone's birthday is cause for celebration. However, for someone who lived their entire life in Marley, a place that made Eldians feel like less than human and turned certain Eldian children into Warriors to fight in wars, it was just another day. Pieck hadn't celebrated her birthday since she was five when it was just her and her Dad. And even then, since they were Eldian, the most they could do is get a cheap cake from a local store, a couple of candles, and a doll as a present. Right now, Pieck just saw her birthday as another day that reminded her that she was closer to her death.
Another thing was that since she was given the Cart Titan, she was given only 13 more years to survive, so she wouldn't even make it past her 30s. So, why even care about her birthday if it was just going to remind her that her life was even more finite than normal peoples' lives? Before she could dwell too much on these thoughts, Pieck heard a knock on her door before the door opened, revealing her boyfriend, Porco Galliard, holding something behind his back.
"Hey, Pieck."
"Hey Pock. What're you doing here?"
"What, I can't visit my girlfriend who just came back from a perilous mission on Paradis Island?" Porco asked playfully, walking closer to her, kissing Pieck on the cheek.
"It didn't really get perilous until the end. But thank you, I did miss you the whole time," Pieck admitted, pressing the side of her head into Porco's chest. Porco responded to this by patting Pieck on the top of her head, ruffling her hair before revealing what was behind his back, revealing a chocolate and vanilla cake.
"Oh, and before I forget and get too entranced in you, happy birthday," Porco said, putting the cake down on Pieck's empty nightstand. Pieck looked at the cake in shock, and with a little drool appearing on the side of her mouth. Pieck had a really good poker face, but dating her for years let Porco know that Pieck had a sweet tooth stronger than any child that he had ever met. Pieck wiped some of the drool off the side of her mouth, and walked over to the cake, running her pointer finger through the vanilla frosting.
"You remembered my birthday?" Pieck asked before sticking her frosting-covered finger into her mouth, licking every last bit of the frosting from her finger.
"Of course I did, that's one of the basic things a boyfriend should do, right?" Porco joked, patting Pieck on the shoulder as he walked over to the kitchen of her apartment, and grabbed a couple of plates and forks before walking back to Pieck at the side of her couch. Porco walked over to the cake, cut a couple of pieces, put each of them into a plate, and handed Pieck a plate of cake. Both Pieck and Porco then sat down on Pieck's couch next to each other and began eating their cake in a comfortable silence. After a couple of minutes, Porco swallowed a bite of his cake, and then looked at Pieck, who was still eating a bite of her slice of cake.
"Pieck, I think you should celebrate your birthday more often." Pieck looked at Porco mid-chew with a raised eyebrow.
"Why?"
"Because…with how our lives are going now, we need to celebrate everything that we can, maybe so that we can pretend that we have normal lives and that we can be happy more often than we actually are," Porco explained. Pieck looked down in thought, swallowing the bite of cake that she had stopped chewing before smiling.
"Porco…honestly, you've made me a lot happier than I was before we got together. I don't need celebrations to make me happy when I can be happy just when we're together," Pieck responded, leaning closer to Porco, and kissing him on the nose, leaving a small amount of frosting on his nose as she licked the remainder of the frosting off of her lips. Porco smiled before wiping the frosting off of his nose with his pointer finger, and licking it off as he wrapped an arm around the back of Pieck's neck. Pieck responded by cuddling closer to Porco, resting her head back on Porco's chest, and Porco responded to this by putting a hand on Pieck's cheek and kissing her on the mouth, which she quickly reciprocated.
"God I love you so much," Porco breathed out in between kisses as his hands started reaching up Pieck's dress and kept going until he found her ass. Porco gave the ass-cheek he had in his hand a tight squeeze while continuing to kiss Pieck throughout the moans of pleasure that Pieck was giving. After a couple more minutes, Porco and Pieck separated their lips from each other, but not before Porco gave Pieck's ass one last pat and Pieck laid down across Porco's legs.
"I love you too, Porco," Pieck said after regaining her breath. Pieck then looked up at Porco, opening her mouth slightly. Porco had to stifle a chuckle before leaning forward, grabbing Pieck's plate of cake, putting a small piece of cake on her fork and began feeding her some cake while Pieck continued laying down.
"You know, Pock? I could get used to celebrating my birthdays like this," Pieck said with a smile after she swallowed her latest slice of cake. Porco started chuckling before leaning in for a kiss on Pieck's forehead, spending the rest of their day together so that the couple can remind themselves of one thing; as long as Porco and Pieck were together, they can forget about the misery going on in their lives, even if only for a moment.
