This Is a Much Better Surprise Than the Daley Party [closed]

[so_harry]

Harry had actually left for work in the morning, wanting the ruse to be as perfect as possible. He slid out of bed before the sun rose, kissed Skylar goodbye and then waited, patiently, at the corner breakfast cafe, nursing a black cup of coffee while Skylar got herself ready and left for work. Then, after putting down a few coins, he went back

Skylar's favorite part about her birthday had to be the little things, like the latte her editor dropped off on her desk in the morning and the vanilla cupcake with pink frosting she had has her lunch.

Every other year she would have gone home for a quick dinner with Reid before heading out to a bar, getting wasted, and dancing all night. But this year was going to be different. This year she had Harry.

She had been looking forward to coming home to him all day, no matter how good that little pink cupcake had been. It was going to be the first birthday they spent together which, of course sounded a little bit silly, but Skylar had never done this with anyone else before and she was big on traditions, no matter how big or small they were.

The banner was the first thing she saw when she walked through the door, a bright smile pulling at her lips and a laugh bubbling up inside of her.

Happy Birthday, Fawcett-Well, it wasn't exactly romanic but it was very Harry Potter, who just happened to be right there setting everything up

He didn't hear her come in. In fact, as her voice cut through the swarm of thoughts in his head, he nearly fell to the ground from off the ladder. He caught himself at the last minute, laughing awkwardly as he jumped to the ground a bit more gracefully than landing on his arse would have looked.

"Erm- I uh, yeah-" he said sheepishly, rubbing his hand at the back of his neck.

"You're early," he told her.

It was only 7:05.

"I know. I'm sorry-" she said, offering him a sheepish look as she dropped her oversized tote to the ground.

Skylar had been anxious to get home, knowing that Harry would be there waiting for her. There were so many nights now that he worked late and she came home to an empty house, especially since Reid spent so much time with Sebastian now. She just wanted to make the most of her time with him.

"Did I ruin anything? I can go and come back-"

She wouldn't mind a few laps around the block if he asked.

"What-oh-no-" he said, exasperated.

"You're here, aren't you?" he shrugged, not being able to help the grin tugging at his lips. If there was anything he was looking forward to, it was the look on her face when she saw everything he put together.

He took a few short steps toward her, closing the space between them as he took her into his arms and pressed his lips against hers firmly, passionately, nearly dipping her to the ground before breaking away.

"Happy birthday, darling-" he said.
