[anathemafiction]

It’s July 27th which means today’s Hadrian’s birthday!!!! ٩( ᐛ )۶ ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ ᕦ( ᐕ )ᕡ ٩( ᐛ )و Please tell him “Happy Birthday” and I hope he has a wonderful day >u

Hadrian's eyes widen, as he stares at the small, square-shaped gingerbread you hold in your hands.

"I know it's not much," you say, smiling apologetically. You offer him the sweet, and Hadrian lifts his hand to take it with a dazed expression. He stares down at it, seeming even smaller in his large palm. "But it was the best I could come up with."

He looks up at you, slowly, and the green in his eyes have never looked darker. "You. You remembered?" he asks in a small voice, an awed voice.

And your heart clenches. "Of course I did, Hadrian," you reach for him instinctively. Your hand closes around his arm, and you stand on your tiptoes to kiss him on the cheek. "Happy birthday."

You smile bright, he blinks. And suddenly, two strong arms have an iron grip around you. You're pulled in, your face squished against his chest. "Hadrian!" you laugh but hug him tightly back.

"Thank you, love," he kisses your temple before stepping away. A full, wide, happy smile on his face. "Would you- share this with me?" he asks, the tips of his ears reddening.

This ridiculous man, you think. "I will," you say instead, and his hand closes around yours when you walk to a bench.

I'll share everything with you, big man.

Oh my God, I totally forgot! Poor Hadrian, even his literal creator forgot his birthday ᕕ( ཀ ʖ̯ ཀ)ᕗ Thank God, Yanderecon stood vigilant.

Hopefully, this little snippet can make up for it. Happy Birthday, Big Buff Soft Boy. May the readers allow you to live through many more.
