Sorry it took so long to upate! I've been working on a bunch of one-shots/drabbles/multi-chapters! Please forgive me, it's hard to get back into the swing of things after I stop for so long.

I have a new poll up!

This was prompted by 'Anna Bliss aka Ivy B'!

Patricia's POV

I walk into Anubis House and immediately turn into the common room, stopping dead in my tracks. My fellow house residents were scrambling around the room, moving furniture, hanging banners and sorting food and drinks on tables. Nina and Joy were directing everyone and the only person that wasn't a part of all the commotion was Eddie. The banner that hung over the fireplace read Happy Birthday, Eddie!

My eyebrows draw together and I grab Jerome by the shoulder as he passes me. "What's going on?"

"Don't tell me you don't know." he smirks down at me.

I scowl back at him and stalk off, tapping his sweet and kind girlfriend on the shoulder. How those two are even together, I'll never know. She turns to me with a smile and I ask her the same question.

"It's Eddie's surprise birthday party. Didn't you know? Alfie was supposed to tell you." she replied.

I think back into the past week and I nod. "I do remember Alfie babbling about something the other day. Wait—it's Eddie's birthday?"

"You didn't know?" she asks lowly.

"No. Oh, great. I'm the worst girlfriend in the universe."

"No you're not. I forgot Jerome's birthday once." Mara assures me.

"No you didn't." he says, walking past us.

I give Mara a deadpanned look and move to sit in an armchair. How can I think of a birthday present before he gets back from detention? I shoot out of my seat quickly, running out of the room excitedly.

Eddie's POV

Where is everyone? After school they all disappeared. Even Yacker, she just vanished. I head for the living room and jump back in shock.

"SURPRISE!"

All the Anubis house residents, and a few friends from school, grin at me happily. I chuckle back at them and go in, thanking each of them for the party. After an hour of eating and mingling I was beginning to feel a little confused. I use my height against the crowd of people and look around. I didn't see Yacker and she didn't talk to me yet. I finally spot her as she enters the room but before I can walk over to her; Amber grabbed me and shoved me into a chair.

"Present time!" she sang, handing me a big pink gift bag.

"Really, Amber, pink?" I raise an eyebrow at the blonde.

"It was the only one at the store." She defends herself.

I grunt, unconvinced, and start on the gifts. I eventually got through all of them and sighed in relief. You never know how many friends you have until you get presents from them.

"Uh, I never got a present from you, Yacker." I state, standing.

The other party guests turn and raise their eyebrows at my girlfriend. She clears her throat nervously and opens her mouth.

"I don't have it."

"Where is it?" I ask.

"Not here."

"Well, can I have it?"

"No."

"Why not," I question incredulously.

"Because it's not here." She glares.

"When do I get it?"

"Later."

"When later?"

"Later. Now, stop asking questions or else you won't get your present, doofus." She warns.

"Well." I scoff and stalk off to talk to Alfie and Jerome.

Everyone went back to partying and Patricia went off to sit in the corner. A few people did talk to her and I had the urge to drag her over to the dance floor with me, but – and as childish as it sounds – I don't want to talk to her until she gives me my birthday present. Why can't she just give it to me? Is it really that private? Maybe she's going to dance for me in her cheerleading uniform…

A grin grows on my face as I picture her 'Goth Cheerleader' look. She was so hot in that outfit.

I snap out of my thoughts as Amber pinches my shoulder.

"Ow, what?" I glare.

"People are leaving, go say bye." She ordered, taking a sip from her punch.

I huff and shake my head, but I comply. Soon after the rest of the guests left and my housemates ran off to do their own things. I turn away from my presents and nearly jump out of my skin. Patricia was standing there, arms crossed, eyebrows raised expectantly.

"Alright, where's the present?" I grin, my earlier fantasy popping into my brain again.

"Come on," she grips my wrist and pulls me out of the house. In minutes we're entering the Frobisher library.

"Okay…um, I really don't want to do homework on my birthday…" I drift off.

She rolls her green eyes and presses the button on the bookshelf that opens and leads into the tunnels. She pushes me in and closes the door behind us. She takes the lead again and doesn't stop until we come to the Mask Chamber. I smirk as I stare down at the food and laptop on the picnic blanket.

"You forgot didn't you?" I ask knowingly.

She let out an exasperated huff, turning to me with sorry eyes. "Yes, and I am so sorry. I just—it totally slipped my mind. Please forgive me. I was thinking a lot about school, and explaining Sibuna and the whole Osirian thing happened—"

I grab her waist and kiss her quickly, cutting her rant off. "I wouldn't have expected any less from you. So, what do we have here?"

She looks at me for a minute and turns to the set up.

"I meant that in a good way." I whisper.

"Oh. Good. Okay, hoagies and Harry Potter." She smiles.

"Two of my favorite things!" I grin, taking a seat and pulling her down with me.

"I thought they are your favorite things." She rolls her eyes with a cute little smirk.

"They were just knocked down to second place, Yacker." I reply, kissing her ear.

She blushes and I smile. I love seeing her blush.

She plays the movie as we relax and I grab a hoagie, digging in, and loving every second sitting next to Patricia. Just her and me—all night.

Hope y'all liked it! I'm gonna keep writing as much as I can, but I don't know when I'll get to update next - hopefully today!
