Short summary: Luke wakes up to a wonderful surprise on his 30th birthday.
A bright morning greets Luke on his day off, his first in a while. With all the recent cases there had not been much time for a break, and although Luke finds his work fulfilling, it is good to take a day off to refresh. So Luke doesn’t bother to change out of his pajamas as he leaves his bed for a mid-morning breakfast. He figures he’d maybe fry an egg to put with some toast but upon exiting the bedroom, he immediately smells something warm and sweet. He also senses the presence of another person in the house.
Luke finds himself running to the kitchen only to stop right in front of the dining table, where a large stack of pancakes decorated with cream and berries arranged to make the number “30” has been placed. He blinks three times before realizing it actually is his birthday today. He had totally forgotten…
“Happy birthday Doggie.”
And from behind, Luke’s favorite voice greets him. Perhaps Luke should have protested the use of that nickname, but he doesn’t care when clearly everything else here has shown Aaron’s true feelings.
“Thanks, Aaron!” Luke turns around and throws his arms around Aaron, nuzzling his face into Aaron’s neck and inhaling Aaron’s musky scent.
“You’re too chipper right now,” Aaron grumbles in response, while returning Luke’s embrace. “And don’t hug for too long or the food will get cold.”
“I’m just so happy!” Luke tightens his hold around Aaron. Later he’ll ask Aaron what Aaron has been up to, but to come back this morning and gift Luke with this wonderful surprise… Right now Luke just takes in the moment. With his favorite person in his arms, a wonderful present behind him, and a beautiful day just beginning… Luke couldn’t be happier on this birthday.
