Summary: Day 6: "I haven't felt this good in a while." + fun/birthday
Author's Note: Happy Birthday Ronen!

"I can't believe you guys actually pulled this off." TK was shocked really, he wasn't an easy person to surprise.

"It wasn't easy." He bet it wasn't.

After all, his friends had very big mouths.

"We didn't tell Mateo." Judd's comment made him raise an eyebrow as he turned his attention away from Marjan. "That was how we kept it secret."

"Ah." He knew there had to be a catch.

And not telling Mateo, well that made sense.

The kid couldn't keep a secret to save his life.

"We also didn't tell the Cap until yesterday." Paul was entirely too chipper about the idea and he laughed.

"Why not? He can keep a secret." In fact, his dad was extremely good at keep secrets, probably too good actually.

"It was more fun that way." Marjan piped in. "It was kinda like a mini surprise for him yesterday when we revealed the big plan to him."

TK found himself shaking his head as he looked around the crowded space, his eyes searching for his boyfriend now that he was on his mind.

He spotted him standing by the bar, chatting with Michelle while they waited for their drinks, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Alright lover boy, go get him." He didn't know what Paul was talking about, he wasn't going anywhere.

"Go get who?" His eyes didn't leave Carlos though, not even when he stepped away from the bar and started toward another table.

"Carlos." Judd sounded almost annoyed, but he knew it was all for show. "You haven't been able to take your eyes off of him."

It was true though, the man did have his utmost attention at the moment.

He simply laughed at his friends heckling though and pushed himself to stand, making his way toward the man who was now standing alone surrounded by half empty glasses.

"Mind if I join you?" He knew he didn't need to ask, but he figured he would anyway.

"Never." Carlos beamed back at him as he reached out for him, tugging him close and placing a kiss to his lips before pulling back. "So, what do you think?"

"I love it." He whispered, his forehead pressing against the other man's as he smiled at him. "I haven't felt this good in a while. I really appreciate all this."

It wasn't a big deal.

It's not like he really cared about celebrating his birthday.

But this, this was amazing.

"It was Marjan's idea actually." He wasn't at all surprised to hear that. "Her and Michelle did most of the work."

"Why doesn't that surprise me?" Those two were too good to him and he knew it.

"Paul got really into the decorating." Carlos gestured around them at the hodgepodge of decorations they had hung up. "He couldn't pick just one theme so…"

"It's cute." He loved that he got to be a cowboy and an astronaut and on a tropical vacation and an old man all at the same time.

"It's tacky." Maybe to the outside observer, but not to him.

"No. It's special." His heart was feeling mighty full right about now.

"Well you're special." He sounded so cheesy saying those words and it made TK smile. "So, we had to make this special."

"And I am very thankful." He couldn't remember the last time someone had done something so ridiculous and yet so soft and loving for him.

"Happy birthday TK." Carlos leaned in and kissed him again, this time letting his lips linger as one hand move to tangle in his hair.

TK hoped that all his birthday's from here on out would be this good.
