thank you to Chelsea on twitter for the comment, and before I forget, I've posted a small SA on here called The Start Of Something Amazing if anyone is interested! :)

262 Dannys POV

The morning of my birthday, I woke up without Tom, even though he had fallen asleep in my bed, he wasn't in bed. It wasn't any different than normal mornings, but I still wished that Tom had at least tried to stay in bed with me, so I could wake up happy with my lover in my arms. "oh Tommy, can't you stay in a bed?" I sighed, crawling out of bed, wondering where he had gone now. I checked the bathroom and the rest of the bedroom, not finding him anywhere in either places. I wasn't sure whether to be worried or not, so pushed down any worry and calmly went downstairs, seeing that the front room door was closed. There was a note stuck to it too.

Danny, happy birthday! Please don't open the door to the front room yet, wait until we all come round. I've gone back to mine for a while to get ready, I'll be back round later. Go back to bed for a while.

Alright, that was interesting, what was behind the door? I was tempted to open it, but decided against it, not wanting to spoil Toms apparent plans. Instead I did as told and went back to bed, I was still cold, and my duvet felt so warm, even without a certain beautiful blonde to cuddle up with. But I still managed to go to sleep for a while, until the door opened downstairs, there were two sets of steps, so it was Harry and Dougie arriving. Within minutes they were on the landing, heading towards my room, they were giggling...oh god, they were going to jump on me, weren't they?!

As I predicted, I got jumped on seconds later, one heavy body and one tiny body jumping on top of me and squashing me against the bed! "guys get off me! You're f*cking heavy!" I cried out, shoving at the boys. "never! Happy birthday Dan!" Dougie giggled, okay, it was worth being squashed to hear him giggle.

"wheres Tom?" Harry asked, noticing there wasn't a self conscious blonde also in this cross fire. "his house apparently. He left me a note to explain." I handed him the note, thankful when Dougie rolled off of me and laid down on the bed properly instead. "hm, he hasn't said anything this week. Guess we'll have to wait and find out when he turns up." Harry shrugged, he had no idea what Tom was up to either, but really, when were any of us able to guess what he was up to?

I jumped when the door opened and closed again, this time the hesitant steps telling me that it was Tom. "Tommy!" I leapt out of bed, practically jumping on Tom when I saw him on the landing. I don't know why I was excited to see him, I just was, I was always excited to see him because I loved him so much. "happy birthday Danny." Tom hugged me back, making me grin excitedly. "thanks, I missed you this morning, where have you been?" I asked, clutching him closer, nuzzling into his soft neck. God I had missed being able to do that! "decorating the front room. And I went home to get changed and stuff." Tom answered, thankfully joining hands with me as I finally let him go. He looked beautiful today, even more beautiful than usual. Dressed in dark blue skinny jeans, his white long sleeve tshirt with the buttons on, and his black hat on his head. My god, Tom looked breath-taking.

"thank you, you look stunning." I whispered, making him blush, whoa, the blush made the pterodactyls burst into my stomach again. "I don't." Tom shook his head, the slight smile he had had on his face dropping. "you do, even more stunning than usual." I put on a smile for him, squeezing his tiny hands. Tom just blushed even more, and thankfully didn't argue, so we now standing stupidly on the landing, but I didn't care. I could look at Tom forever, and being able to stand close to him like this, holding his hands, it was all I had hoped for and more.

263 Harrys POV

Going into the front room we found that Tom had decorated it, with balloons and birthday banners. It looked incredible, and to think he had done it all by himself was amazing. "oh Tommy! It looks amazing! Wow, thank you!" Danny gasped, looking in awe around the room, like he couldn't believe that Tom could do this. "how long did this take? It must have taken hours!" Dougie asked, looking in awe too. "only 2 hours. Not that long." Tom shrugged, not meeting our gazes, but letting Danny keep his arm around him. "wow, when did you start? Did you even sleep last night?" Danny joked, taking advantage of his position, slipping both of his arms around Toms waist, pulling him in front of his body.

"about 7am, I think. And yeah I slept, don't worry." Tom nodded, looking embarrassed. "glad you did, this is amazing Tommy, thank you." Danny kissed Toms neck, and for the first time, Tom didn't cringe away. He looked uncomfortable, but he didn't cringe away, he was really trying today, for Danny. And I could tell it meant so much to Danny, he was grinning like he used to, holding onto Tom like he was the only thing that mattered. This was probably the best present Tom could have ever given Danny, a day of letting his boyfriend hold him and act like he was normal.

Toms behaviour stayed the same all day, he let Danny hold him and kiss him, and he at least tried smiling and acting human. We even got him taking pictures of the day, using his proper professional camera, which he hadn't touched in years. "Tommy, get in the picture!" Danny pulled Tom next to him, because so far, we hadn't gotten him in a single picture. "b-but I don't look good in pictures." Tom whimpered, the smile falling. "of course you do! And come on, its my birthday, and I want a good photo of the two of us." Danny pleaded, tucking a bit of hair behind Toms ear, kissing his forehead. "alright, just one though." Tom sighed, fixing his hair over his face again. "thats all I'm asking for. Can you guys take the picture?" Danny handed us the camera, wrapping his arms around Toms waist, leaning in to kiss his cheek.

Tom managed a half smile because of the kiss, making it so Danny was kissing his dimple, making the brunette smile even more. I took the picture, luckily remembering how to use the huge camera, smiling as it came up on the screen. Dannys grin got impossibly larger when he saw it, he was so happy to see the dimple and be able to kiss his boyfriend, to see he was trying so hard, and improving, even just for the day. And that picture was brilliant, the both of them looked so happy, like nothing was wrong at all.

"aw I like that one! Wanna have cake now?" Danny handed the camera back to Tom, keeping his spare arm around Toms waist. "yeah, alright." Tom shrugged, fiddling with his camera. "good, we'll go get it, you guys go make yourselves comfy on the sofa again." Me and Dougie ran to get the cake we had bought last week. It was a sponge cake, with jam and cream in the middle, covered in icing, spelling out 'happy birthday Danny!'

We put on all the candles, and lit them, carrying it into the front room, singing happy birthday. Tom joined in with a whisper, holding Dannys hand and his camera, taking pictures as Danny blew out the candles. Dougie handed Danny a knife to cut the cake, for a minute, my internal warning bells went mental, but Danny calmly held the knife and cut the cake, almost like he wasn't battling against self harm right now. Tom though couldn't even look at the knife, he kept his head right down, studiously fiddling with his camera with his shaking hands. We hadn't seen him with a knife in weeks, I hadn't realised that sharp objects effected him like this. "want some cake Tom?" Dougie asked, noticing Toms obvious fear for the sharp object. "no, no I'm alright." Tom shook his head, looking so scared, unable to take his eyes from the knife.
