Prompt: Thunderstorm

...

Ah London, such a gorgeous place. What's it like there?

Well it rains. It rains a lot.

It can also be humid? If that's more your style. No?

Well then be grateful it's raining.

(This is basically what George said to Clay when he arrived there for the first time, word for word)

...

Fall really was the best time of year in Clay's book.

Falling leaves, cool weather, George's birthday, and most definitely Halloween. It'd been his favorite his entire life, a break from boiling hot weather is always nice of course but he couldn't help but appreciate the ambience of that time of year too.

George however was on the polar opposite side in opinions as well as he was on the opposite side of the globe. Fall in London was miserable. All he gets is rain. Yeah it's his birthday or whatever but it's never the greatest when your in the middle of a never ending storm.

With Clay finally in London to visit his boyfriend for his 25th birthday, he was sure he could change the brunette's mind.

(Even in a horrendous thunderstorm)

...

The morning of his birthday the blonde had woken up to rain pounding on the roof angrily. He looked outside and it didn't seem any better. He couldn't help but be a bit sad at how gloomy it was, but he also knew this meant lots of fun indoor activities.

Despite the weather, George's most frequented café was open. Clay drove there to get their favorites and start the morning right. By the time he was back it was 9:25. That seemed like a decent enough time to wake up the birthday boy.

The tall man lit some of the others favorite candles around the house and turned his favorite cartoon on the TV. He wanted this to be the perfect day.

After gently pushing their bedroom door open to see his boyfriend fast asleep, he made his way to the opposite side of the bed. He carefully sat down before putting a hand on George's shoulder.

He gently stirred but wasn't fully awake.

"Good morning my dear. Happy birthday"

He offered a warm smile and continued to rub the man's shoulder. He did no more then quietly groan in response.

"I have your hot chai tea. It's made just how you like it~"

He held the cup forward and the shorter sprung up much faster this time. Now fully awake, he took the cup to drink from. Clay gently laughed at the man's antics. He took a few sips before speaking,

"You really did have them make it perfect.." He muttered.

"Of course I did, it's your special day"

Arms wrapped around the blonde man's torso. He was being pulled into a hug.

"Love you"

"I love you too"

...

After a long morning shower, they were ready for the day. Dressed in comfy clothes and sufficiently caffeinated, George was set for an official "perfect birthday". From 10 to 1 they did nothing but watch fall and Halloween movies, even though the holiday was technically over.

After all the movies they got McDonald's delivered to the house, as per the brunette's request. What? Let a grown man enjoy a happy meal every once in a while. Gotta re-live your youth somehow.

Next came the baking. Neither of them were fans of plain old cake, so chocolate chip cookies seemed to be the best option.

Two men baking together is one thing, it's gonna be messy but it'll all turn out alright. Baking with two gay men who happen to be together? Yeah that'll be intresting.

...

It was indeed VERY interesting. George got a shit ton of flour in his hair, chocolate on his face and ended up consuming a lot of raw cookie dough. Clay had sugar all over his shirt and somehow consumed more chocolate chips then cookie. They got them in the oven but did nearly burn them when they were...preoccupied.

At the end of 2 hours however there was one salvaged batch of cookies for them to enjoy. Though they burned their mouths trying to eat them fresh out of the oven, the dessert was overall delicious.

The thunderstorm had settled down to a quiet rain by the time they were done cleaning up, the clouds became much less dense. The sun was nearly set so the blonde wanted to enjoy the last bit of light they had left. He took the brunette out to his front porch to watch the sky slowly fall asleep. They sat with a blanket leaned up against the houses siding. Utter peace surrounded the inside and outside of the property, they were happy.

George never was one to enjoy his birthday. The whole thing seemed ridiculous and self-centered to him. But this year in particular he didn't mind it. Someone made him feel so completely comfortable and appreciated he didn't want the day to end. That was probably one of the best gifts to ever receive.

...

Just as the sun stretched below the horizon Clay kissed him. By now this wasn't their first, but to the older's memory it was by far the sweetest. How someone ever made him so happy he will never know. He broke away and gently rested their foreheads together.

"Happy birthday George"

...

Was this supposed to be released on Halloween? Yes😂😅

Clearly it is not Halloween but motivations a bitch so here we are. It may be late, but I hope it was worth it.

Thank you all for the endless support <333
