Holly with 'birthday' today. Yuri is 21 and JJ is (obviously) 25

JJ always enjoys his birthdays. They've always been very big, showy affairs, just replacing the sweets for alcohol the older he got and this year is no different. This year he is turning twenty-five so he's stretching it out, celebrating with his entire family at the weekend, his friends the night before and having Yuri come over from Russia for the actual day.

It's been a while since he and Yuri have had the chance to see each other because of training and competitions and he misses him. So much so that he's been checking his phone so periodically that his best friend, Aluin, finally confiscates it.

"Hey!" JJ protests.

"Your little Russian boy will still be there in half an hour," Aluin says with a grin. "The stripper I hired to celebrate King JJ turning twenty-five will not."

"Fine," JJ says and allows Aluin to drag him through the club that has been booked out and deposit him in a chair in front of a small open space.

Aluin claps him on the shoulder. "Enjoy."

JJ looks at him in confusion as the lights go down. Music begins to blare from the speakers and JJ turns his attention back to the space in front him as a spotlight snaps on and a slender man in a baseball cap saunters onto the floor. Didn't expect him to get me a male stripper...

The man in front of him begins a sinful dance, swaying his hips in time with the music and JJ's eyes are glued to his backside, hugged by impossibly tight jeans. He watches, transfixed as the man drops to the floor and begins to crawl towards him to the whoops and cheers of his friends. As he reaches him the man pushes himself to his feet and straddles JJ's waist.

JJ swallows as he looks up under the peak of the hat into beautiful green eyes. Beautiful familiar green eyes.

"Yuri?!"

The man smirks, pulls off the baseball cap and blond hair tumbles out of it. "Happy birthday Shithead."

"I thought you weren't coming until tomorrow," JJ says, a huge grin spreading over his face as he wraps his arms around Yuri's waist, unable to believe that he is there in his lap.

"I wanted to surprise you," Yuri chuckles. "Aluin helped."

JJ turns to look at Aluin to see him grinning. "Don't say I never do anything for you," Aluin laughs.

JJ turns back to Yuri and smiles, brushing a lock of blond hair behind Yuri's ear.

"Best birthday present ever," he says before leaning in to kiss Yuri deeply.
