A/N: Hey, guys! So, I don't know if any of y'all are Beatles fans, but if you are, you'll know that today is a very special day in their history. John Lennon was born 71 years ago today! I don't agree with his views on...well, just about everything, but I *LOVE* his music, so today's drabble is a tribute to him! (As was the song that prompted it.) I hope you guys enjoy it!

"You know something," Arthur said, smiling a little wistfully. "It probably doesn't make much difference to you, now, but it's your birthday."
A light breeze ruffled his blond hair a bit. "What, are you surprised that I remembered?"
The wind suddenly chilled, as though rebuking him. "Yeah, yeah. It's not like you never acknowledged mine until almost after the fact."
An uncomfortable silence fell. "That was in poor form," he amended. "Sorry."
"You know," he said, leaning back, "a lot of people think I'm crazy for still talking to you like this, but if you're still listening, why shouldn't I?"
Cheers!
