Wade is like an onion. Not for the "stinky" or the "makes you cry" thing, but because you'll have to remove layer after layer, in order to better understand him. Many layers, many chapters ;)

SOMETHING ABOUT WADE

Wade hates surprises. His team quickly learnt the hard way not to hide in the dark in his hotel room or his flat to wait for the moment he switches on the light to jump on him, screaming SURPRIIIIISE! His first birthday party quickly ended up with team members in the hospital for black eyes, broken fingers, missing teeth, one dislocated shoulder and one concussion.
He actually never celebrated his birthday before; until Heath found his birth date and gave it to the other team members. Since that painful first surprise party, the team decided to make softer versions of celebration each year, forcing presents, Stella's, and the traditional haggish cooked by Drew McIntyre, on their leader. Each year, Wade grumbles and protests.
But each year, Heath notices that Wade tucks the birthday cards carefully into his coat pocket afterwards.
