Let them eat cake

[cuntryroads]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Congratulations, you've survived another orbit around your planet's star! Now go celebrate it, you birthday guy/gal/non-binary pal!

RULES:

• Post with your character, canon, and preferences - also just for fun, you can add their date of birth in the comments section. Feel free to headcanon or handwave the date if you don't know it.
• Have fun!
  
  OPTIONAL PROMPTS:
• Birthday Party: Celebrate your special day with your friends or family! Reserve an event space or restaurant, celebrate at home, go out and celebrate in town, whatever you wish!
• Surprise Party: Maybe your pal isn't the type to celebrate, never had a birthday party before, or you got someone or something special planned for them that you have to keep a secret until it's the right time.
• Quiet Party: A more introverted variety. Staying at home with fewer people, having a less loud celebration with dinner, binge-watching, or just basking in each other's presence.
• No Show: You had everything planned and prepared, but thanks to something coming up or maybe people just don't like you - nobody showed up for your birthday party. Maybe one friend is just late, or had a change of heart, or maybe pull in a stranger to celebrate with you.
• Happy Holidays: Your birthday happens to fall on the same day as a holiday, so you either get to celebrate two things at once or have your birthday overshadowed.
• Gift Giving: Part of what makes birthdays great! Is it something cheap, expensive, maybe even hand-made? 
• Wildcard!

[Who knows when her birthday is, but she's in her thirties!]

[ourlittlenordicangel]

Oh... oh, I have a gift for you! [ He instantly hands her a random scrap of colorful fabric. ]

We are almost same age? Oh... you aged good, Miss Darcy.

[stemtypeoflady]

Swede, this is so pretty! I love it!

[ She throws her arms around him in a grateful hug. ]

Thank you! And thank you for thinking of me.

[ourlittlenordicangel]

[ The Swede loves hugs, he is very shy but he can hug back a little bit. ] It... it is pink. [ Pink is his favorite color! ]

Ooh, yes! I am happy it is your birthday. [ He doesn't have one but he loves other people's birthdays. ]

[stemtypeoflady]

Don't worry, I'll get you something just as nice for your birthday!

[ourlittlenordicangel]

I don't have a birthday? [ At all. No birthday! No name. Nothing. ]

But everyone say I am around this many. [ He makes a four with his fingers, that means forty. ]

[stemtypeoflady]

So pick a day! That can be your birthday!

[ourlittlenordicangel]

Oh... how many days are there, Miss Darcy?

[stemtypeoflady]

365.

[ Probably best not to explain leap years. ]

[ourlittlenordicangel]

[ He holds three fingers up. ]

One, two, three. [ Showing off his counting skills! ] C... can I pick three?

[stemtypeoflady]

How about March 3rd? That's two threes!

[ourlittlenordicangel]

Oh yes! Is... is it March today? Is today my birthday as well? [ He barely knows where he is but he's just happy to be included. ]

[stemtypeoflady]

It's not today, but we can pretend it is!

[ourlittlenordicangel]

Oh... it is my birthday! I am the birthday girl! [ Never been happier. ]

.. ..w... wait... but Miss Darcy?

[stemtypeoflady]

What's up, Swede?

Oh, I need to get you a present!

[ourlittlenordicangel]

Am I... older now? [ But then all turns into excitement. Present!! His first ever present! ]

A... a present for me, really?

[ Time to do his special happy dance. No time for shy just happy. ]

[stemtypeoflady]

You are, but you're only as old as you feel!

[ She pulls the purple scrunchie from her hair and presents it to him with a flourish. It's not much, but maybe he'll like the color and use it for his own hair. Once he starts dancing, she joins him and bounces and dances too. ]

Happy birthday!

[ourlittlenordicangel]

Oh... oh, I love it! Is it for me, really? [ He instantly stops dancing to make a somewhat lopsided ponytail on top of his head. ] I feel sooo pretty. Thank you so much, Miss Darcy!

[ And then it's dancing time. He doesn't need music to do his little dance, his body just wants to move and show happiness. ]

[stemtypeoflady]

Of course it's for you! Look how great it looks in your hair!

[ She's happy to see him so happy. His dance is just adorable, and she can't help but join him as she shakes and shimmies gleefully. ]

[ourlittlenordicangel]

[ This is probably the happiest he's ever been. He gets a big rush of confidence from the scrunchie and- and it being his birthday. ]

Isn't it sooo special that both our birthdays a-are on the same day? [ He jumps up and down a few more times. ] I... I wonder if my crewmates know that it is my birthday?

[stemtypeoflady]

You still need a cake! Maybe we can find one big enough with your crew, so they know it's your birthday!

[ourlittlenordicangel]

Oh!! They are going to be happy too! We never get cake. [ The pirates aren't the biggest fan of ladies but if one shows up with cake... the crew is a mixed bag, you have some real sweethearts but also some cannibalism enthusiastics and an arsonist and all sorts of things. This is like the runt of the pirate litter. ]

[infinite1ups]

[ Whatever day it is, Claire has cake! It's decorated with colorful sprinkles and "Happy Birthday Darcy" written in icing with Claire's bubbly handwriting. ]

Surprise!

[stemtypeoflady]

Claire! You know the way to my heart!

[infinite1ups]

Coincidentally this is also the way to my heart which may have inspired me.

[ She grins, setting the cake down. ] Happy birthday! Any big plans?
