Room 314 | Saturday Evening
Today was the 18th which meant it was Percy's birthday and for once Luke was around to help him celebrate. There was a bit of guilt there when it came to their birthdays since for the past two years Percy had been there for Luke's but Luke was always off doing one thing or another when August rolled around. This year he was there and determined to make it a good birthday for his boyfriend. He got the feeling things weren't quite settled from the whole Umbridge thing and he wanted to take Percy's mind off of that. Besides, it wasn't everyday someone turned 17.
Well, except Percy would actually get two 17th birthdays due to weird timelines. Luke wasn't thinking about that, just like he wasn't thinking about what else August 18th meant to him and what it would mean to Percy when he faced Kronos for the last time.
But, again, he wasn't focusing on that now. Right now he was (lovingly) breaking into Percy's room, very purposefully wearing the hoodie that Percy had gotten him for his birthday last year. He had a cake balanced on one hand that had been iced to look like the beach and ocean (not stolen, he had commissioned the bread kid at the diner to do it), complete with seventeen candles poking out of the blue and yellow icing. Under his arm was a bag that contained the gifts Luke had acquired. The cake went on the desk and the presents were tossed lightly on the spare bed. Now all Luke had to do was light the candles and wait for the birthday boy.
[For that guy whose birthday it is!]
