today was your boyfriend's birthday and you hadn't been able to celebrate it with him yet because of your stressful job. you hadn't been able to do anything but text him a simple "happy birthday, baby. i love you." you'd been worried all day that lucas would be upset that you weren't spending his birthday together, but then you remembered that he hadn't even had enough time to reply to your text, so you decided to make it up for him for the lost time by preparing a surprise.

"can i watch now?,” lucas asked for the hundredth time, getting more and more impatient. you’d had the idea to take him to the duck lake where you had first met. you remembered with a smile this day last year when you found him trying to attract the attention of the ducks to the pieces of bread in his hand. you approached him to help him when you saw how he failed in every attempt and you spent your first afternoon of many together, feeding the ducks.

"you're worse than a little boy," you snorted, puffing out your cheeks. you had to close your eyes slightly because of the big gusts of wind, which prevented you from seeing clearly and dried out your eyes. once you stood in front of the lake, you put a hand in front of the cloth around his eyes, "you can't see anything, can you?"

"that's the third time you've asked me that. the answer is still the same: no," he exclaimed in annoyance as he repositioned it. you laughed at his obvious burden expression as you helped him sit on the lake wall and sat down too. then you pulled out a muffin from your bag that you had bought at your favourite bakery before picking him up. you grabbed the five candles you’d taken from a kitchen drawer and stuck them in the muffin, then lit them one by one. careful not to let the wind blow them out, you placed one of your hands in front of the dessert.

"you can take it off now," you smiled with amusement as he eagerly began to untie the cloth. once it was untied, he ran his hands over his eyes and stared at the lake for a few seconds before turning to you quickly.

"it's our lake," he exclaimed excitedly, causing you to let out a small laugh and your cheeks to turn reddish at his choice of words. you liked the sound of that. ours. lucas' gaze shifted to your hands and he let out a slight squeal of delight when he saw the muffin you’d bought him, "wait. y/n, i’m turning 23, not five," he whined with a frown as he counted the candles with his index finger.

"don't be such a baby, i didn't have any more," you replied rolling your eyes, but unable to help the smile that escaped your lips. you raised your hands higher and brought the muffin closer to his face, "now you have to make a wish."

lucas closed his eyes for a few seconds before he finally opened them and blew out the candles. you smiled warmly at the illusion in his eyes. with one arm he pulled you close to him and held you close to his body, hugging you tightly around the waist, as if he was afraid that this was just a dream and he was going to wake up at any moment.

"aren’t you going to ask me what i wished for?,” he asked, placing his head on top of yours and lovingly caressing your hip over your jumper.

"if you tell me it won't come true, and i want you to fulfil all your dreams," you replied, looking up and brushing your nose against his. he smiled broadly before kissing you intensely, trying to transmit with that kiss how important and indispensable you were to him, and how much he wanted you by his side forever.

once you pulled away, you remembered that you had another surprise for him and you moved away from him a little abruptly, leaving a confused lucas aside. you took your phone and headphones out of your bag and went back to him. excitedly, you handed him one of the headphones and you put the other one on. immediately, the playlist you had been preparing the day before started playing through the headphones, with swan lake, op. 20 being the first song to play, bringing an instant smile to your boyfriend's face.

“you have two plane tickets waiting for you when we get home," you blurted out without warning, receiving a frown from lucas, "we're going to europe!" you shouted, clapping your hands together briefly, which was interrupted by the strong and excited hug you received from him.

once you both had calmed down a bit, you stood up from the wall and made an exaggerated bow to lucas, who started to giggle a little, "would you allow me this dance, handsome gentleman?"

"of course i would, my lady," he replied imitating your tone of voice.

you spent the little time that remained of his birthday dancing by the lake to all the songs on your playlist. it was at that moment lucas knew that his wish had come true and that the best birthday present of all was to be able to share his everyday life with you.
