Bod remembered it was his birthday about fifteen minutes after he'd woken up. He'd been in the shower when it'd just popped into his head and he'd spent a few seconds just staring at the wall. Apparently, he was twenty one now and he had to marvel at how quick time had passed

Good thing he had a girlfriend who was more in touch with birthday behavior.

And that meant she snuck up on him with a red rose in hand. She showed it to him by embracing it from behind and sticking it under his nose. "Happy biiiiirthday."

Bod hadn't expected her to be out of bed so soon so he laughed in surprise and found his nose almost buried in the rose. It smelled good, though.

"Thank you," he replied with a shake of his head. "I wasn't expecting you to be awake for a few hours yet."

"Oh please, I've been awake since before you were," Kate scoffed, and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Waiting."

To pounce on him with a rose.

"You didn't have to do that," Bod told her, smiling and looking down at the rose again. "That's very kind of you, though. Thank you for the rose."
