Birthday Wishes [for lizfirestarter
It was her birthday again. He knew when it was, every single year, and kept a mental reminder of it so that he wouldn't forget. Some years it came and went without big event, others the BPRD would make a big hullabaloo out of it. Red had never been a big fan of birthdays, personally, but that was mostly because he was bitter about not actually having one. Sure, Pops would celebrate the day he had found him every year, but it just wasn't the same.
Red had been making a big deal about LIz's birthday this year. He'd spent days trying to think of something to get her, asking around the BPRD, getting opinions. The general consensus was something small, something nice. Finally, he had settled on something and had convinced one of the agents to go out and purchase it for him (he wasn't going to risk getting in trouble on her birthday. That would have been a hell of a present).
He slowly crept through the halls of the BPRD towards her quarters, a small box in hand. The wrapping job was sub-par at best (hey, YOU try wrapping something tiny with giant hands!), but he was still rather proud of the ordeal. He paused just outside her door, settling the box and the present inside on the ground before turning and quickly trying to sneak away again.
