Birthday Bash!

(Y/F/C)- Your Favorite Cupcake (Ex. Chocolate, Vanilla,etc.)

(Y/N)'s POV- 7:32 AM

I was groggy but awoken by the sound of a deep singing voice, "Hhhhaaapppyyy Birthdayyyy to yoooouuuu... Happpyyyy Birthdayyy tooo youuuu... Happy Brithday dear (Y/N), Happy Birthday to youuuuuu!! " my uncle came in my room with a birthday cupcake lighted with a candle. I mustered up a smile, blew out the candles gently, "Thanks Uncle Jim." We both leaned in for a good warm hug. I grabbed the plate from him, watching the remaining wax melt off the candle. Not caring about getting messy, I dug my face head on into the cupcake, indulging in the fluffiness of the whipped frosting and the warm cupcake. "My favorite, (Y/F/C), this is delicious!". My uncle smiled warmly at me, "Glad you like it. I'm sorry I woke you up so early but they called me from the GCPD, they need me there to work on a few cases." I was a little saddened to hear this but I knew what he had to do, "Don't worry Uncle Jim, that's totally okay with me." I tried to pretend to brush it off to the best of my abilities, but I wasn't sure if it was coming off that way. He brushed the back of his hand on my cheek, "I've gotta go now, see you later alright?" I nodded, watching him walk off, and hear the door slam behind him.

That was it.. I was alone on my birthday. I decided to get out of bed and actually try to be productive today by getting dressed and watching TV.

After 30 minutes of being 'productive' I heard the doorbell echo around the house, either this was some kind of insane criminal or someone we knew behind that very door. Knowing it wouldn't be very good protection, I snatched an umbrella to use as a weapon, and slowly creeped my way up to the door. Slightly twisting the knob, with the umbrella firmly grasped in my hand. The door eerily creaked open, "HAH!" I shoved out my umbrella, "AHH!" Bruce gasped from the other side of the door, somewhat screaming and accidentally releasing a balloon out of the cluster he had into the open air. We both stood there a moment taking a breather from scaring each other half to death and then laughed it off. I wiped the tears strolling down my cheeks from laughter, "Oh my goodness Bruce- I'm so sorry, I thought you were an intruder!", he chuckled, "No! I'm sorry!" Our laughs came to an end and I let Bruce come into the apartment. He left the bouquet of balloons in my room, and then met me back in the kitchen to what seemed to be like he was now giving me a present? "I got you something." he gushed, then handed me a big bag filled with tissue paper, all of it put together so neatly and nice, I almost didn't want to open it. "Oh wow.. Bruce, you didn't have to get me anything!'" I stammered, "It's your birthday! Of course I had to get you something, now open it!" He nudged me, I finally gave in and took out the tissue paper to reveal what it was. A beautiful shiny diamond necklace in the shape of a heart. I gasped dramatically admiring the light reflecting off of each diamond , "Oh Bruce, It's beautiful! Thank you so much-" He cut me off, "There's more inside." Surprised I dug through whatever tissue paper was left in the bag to find some of my favorite candy along with a polaroid filled with a full cartridge. "So you can capture moments and memories here in Gotham." My heart was full, he was so cute. "Awwhh, thank you Bruce, I love my gifts so much." He grabbed the necklace from my clutch and and placed it on for me. He cheerfully responded, "I also have another surprise for you." I was in complete shock, no one had ever gone this far to do something so special for me on my birthday, "WHAT?!" I screamed, "Yeah, but this time, its not in the bag, I have to take you there." He grabbed my hand and led me outside the door. "Where are we going Bruce?"  he looked back at me and smirked, "If I told you it wouldn't be a surprise anymore now would it?"

Bruce's hands had been cupped around my eyes everywhere we went, his voice, directing me where to go. He was my eyes. "Bruce where on earth our we?" he chuckled a little bit, "Don't worry, we're almost there." How many more buses did we have to take? "Alright, one step here, careful-" He had his arm firmly around my waist to help me get where ever the heck he was taking me. "Okay... Now open your eyes." I opened them, exposing my pupils to the harsh lighting radiating from the sun.

Today was an unaturally sunny day in Gotham -  a very rare occurance.  I felt the heat of the sun soaking into my skin, as I heard the birds chirping, singing sweet nature melodies. "Oh my goodness. Bruce!"  I began to tear up from pure joy, immediately turning around to give him a big hug. He smiled so brightly at me, "Do you like it?" he stuttered,  "Yes! Of course I do! Bruce I love it so much I never want to leave!" I ran over to the chair and the table, noticing a picnic basket laid out, untouched, filled with endless amounts of goodies and treats. "Let's dig in!" Bruce brought in his chair as he sat down in it, "I had Alfred cook some of your favorite meals from the manor for lunch today, along with some dessert." I was in awe of how much time and dedication he put into making this day so special for me. "Bruce, I am so lucky to have you as my boyfriend. Thank you for all that you did for me today, it means the world to me."  He gave a small smile, "No, thank you (Y/N), without you, I don't know where I'd be right now. You've helped me through so much. I can't thank you enough." We both blushed, and began eating lunch together under the beautiful flower canopy. The lunch date was filled with so much laughter and chatting, I'm sure we were easily there for 2 hours. "Well, there's still a whole garden waiting to be seen by  the both of us, ready to go (Y/N)?" I quickly got up from my chair and grabbed my polaroid, "Wait before we go... Pose!" He made a funny royalty pose sitting in his chair, that had me non-stop giggling. "Say CHEESE!!" the flash went off and out came the picture. "Alright let's go!!"

It was about to be 6:30 as we made our way out of the gardens, "Wow. That was wonderful, everything was so beautiful, I felt so connected with nature." I confessed to Bruce. "Me too I had such an amazing time with you today." He gushed. We took several buses to get back to my house, and there we were, sharing our last few words together as we were about to separate. "Well thank you Bruce, for everything, you don't know how much this means to me. Today was so so special. I can't thank you enough." He gave me a hug, and asked me, "You're welcome, I enjoyed spending today with you. But may I ask if I come in? Alfred's on his way here." Without hesitation I replied, "Yes, of course. Let me just open the door here-" I handed him my polaroid to hold, twisting the knob to the door, placing the key inside the hole to unlock the lock. The apartment was pitch black. I turned on the lights, "SUPPRRIIISSEEEEE!!!" The room, the APARTMENT was filled with people in every corner and square inch of the house. Everyone from a few people from the GCPD including Harvey, Alfred and friends from school surprised me. I laughed seeing a flash go off behind me to find Bruce taking a candid picture of me. "EVERYONE LET'S PARTYYY (Y/N)'S HERE!!!" Someone yelled, everyone shouted and chanted. Loud music began rumbling all throughout the apartment, reverberating off the walls. I found my uncle placing a cake on the table, and walked over to him. The cake had the words inscribed ' Happy Birthday (Y/N) !' , "Ahh! Uncle Jim I love it!!!"  I couldn't help but give him a big hug. "Were you surprised?" my jaw dropped, "UH YEAH! I had no idea you guys planned a surprise party!", My uncle grinned, "The whole GCPD duty thing was a set up, I had Harvey and a few others helping me decorate the place while you and Bruce went on a date." I felt so loved, "Here, EVERYONE! WE'RE ABOUT TO LIGHT THE CANDLES!" Everyone gathered around as I sat at a table, with the cake in front of me, the famous 'birthday' song was sung, then the candles were illuminated with fire. "Make a wish." My uncle blurted out, "What more could I wish for?" I questioned, blowing out my candles. Another flash was seen, I noticed Bruce was yet again taking another candid picture of me. Everyone clapped and got straight on back to celebrating. Today was truly unforgettable.
