anya's birthday! ani did her very best to make a fish cake , but the truth is she's a terrible baker , so instead she is delivering a platter full of just. raw fish. a perfect gift , she would argue. her favorite kind of gift actually. " happy birthday , anya!!! " ﹔ @searaphic.
Eyes land on the … pile of FISH ACTING AS A CAKE. Several reactions coming to their mind & 𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄. Ani's never been someone Anya could ever really be anywhere remotely rude to. Short perhaps , but only in stressful situations , trying to keep from reacting due to circumstance outside of the two of them. SHE DIDN'T NEED THAT FROM ANYA. Studying the caked , the former assassin ATTEMPTS to decide just how much they are going to regret eating enough to satisfy the woman holding display out to them.
A smile spreads across their features. Turning the corners of their lips up into a smile before ULTIMATELY TAKING THE PLATE FROM HER. They've lived through far worse than food poisoning , & it wasn't like if this DID kill her she wouldn't be right back in two shakes. That was nothing compared to the idea of POTENTIALLY UPSETTING SWEET ANI. ❛❛ I bet it's Kosher! ❜❜ It's offered more to Anya herself , than to Ani. Like it might make the endeavor of eating it better with that knowledge. That smile stays strong , only twisting their features into furrowed worry once they are fully turned away from them to put it on the counter behind her. ❛❛ You must have put a lot of work into it. You really didn't have to go through all the trouble. Seein you's just as good a birthday present. ❜❜

Time in place , with Colt , allowed them a chance to SLOW THEIR LIFE DOWN. Not completely , they would never be able to 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐘 stay in one place for too long. Much like their mother in that way … They'd always have to find something to WHISK THEM AWAY FOR A TIME. Tying them down in ANY way wasn't a good idea. But if you understood that , THEY ALWAYS CAME HOME.
Being here , the comfortable Brooklyn apartment that they shared , nights of sleep were STILL NEVER FULL , but they could manage more than three hours a night on most nights. It wasn't prefect , but it was 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒. Something that Anya had learned over time was really what mattered.
None of that though , had ever managed to cure Anya of the habit of FORGETTING THEIR BIRTHDAY EVERY YEAR. Again , not something that was entirely their fault. Their birthday hadn't been something they even 𝐊𝐍𝐄𝐖 until their father had remembered it while searching for his memories. STRICTLY BY CHANCE THAT THEY KNEW , so often times it went on by forgotten by them. Not for longer than a couple hours though before someone made sure to remind her of the fact.
This year's hero being Colt.
They only stirred a little when he LEFT THE BED. It happened enough that it had left the list of feelings that warranted waking , & rolled back over to continue sleeping. The night before had been laid back. RELAXING AFTER COMING HOME FROM A MISSION. Sketching with some jazz to mellow down & it was a nearly 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐅𝐄𝐂𝐓 recipe for a restful night. In fact , they hadn't been pulled from their sleep until hand touched their skin. A slight FLINCH as they woke , but nothing that would suggest they were started. That didn't really happen here anymore.
Slowly , then more frequently … EYES BLINKED AWAKE FROM THEIR SLEEP. Then find his hunched over form to wake her up. Beams of sun shine through the large widows of the Brick building , pulling their gaze before a smile , & A TIRED GROAN LEAVES HER , before eyes settle on the nightstand , & finally the cake he had made. It wasn't perfect like a cake from the store , but Anya was hardly anything REMOTELY LIKE THAT ANYWAYS. The color of the frosting looks like rich chocolate , indicating their favorite.
❛❛ This is … SWEET. ❜❜ Not how someone might NORMALLY THANK SOMEONE , but by now he would know that the surprise in it'self is enough to stop the neurons from telling her the proper response. When they look back to him however , there's a 𝐒𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐄 there. ❛❛ You didn't have t'do all this though. Kind forgot all about it if I'm bein honest. ❜❜
for @drekkavac
Colt knelt beside the bed, his movements slow and deliberate to avoid waking her too soon. He set the cake carefully on the nightstand, its single candle unlit but ready. The small gift bag rested beside it, the ribbon tied just the way he knew she'd like.
For a moment, he just sat there, studying her sleeping form. Her hair spilled across the pillow, and she looked so at peace it almost made him hesitate. Almost.
He scratched the back of his neck, glancing down at the cake. It wasn’t perfect—probably lopsided if he really looked at it—but it was his. It was theirs. That meant something, right?
"Okay," he whispered under his breath, drawing a deep inhale. "You’ve got this."
Colt pulled out his lighter and sparked the candle. The small flame flickered warmly, the soft glow illuminating his handiwork. He smirked to himself, a quiet pride settling in his chest. She deserved this.
He reached over, lightly brushing his knuckles against her shoulder. “Hey,” he murmured, his voice low and soft. “Time to wake up, its your birthday.”
And then he waited, the cake glowing quietly between them, his heart hammering harder than he’d ever admit.

He'd created personalised weaponry for her because he knew that her birthdays must have been few and far between. He'd left them lying, wrapped in intricate crimson paper, the tag marked with. 'Easy when opening them. Some are sharp. ~ L' ﹔ @fangsforhire.
He had left them for her like A GOD DAMN CAT WOULD. Except perhaps minus stepping on it and letting out a frustrated string of 𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐒. Reading the tag on the gifts , there's the initial reaction to sigh before opening the gift. Not that they weren't a grateful person. But Anya was FAR FROM AN EASY PERSON TO SHOP FOR. More often than not , something that someone might be 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐃 to get , Anya wouldn't know what to do with it. Practicality was often what they were after. Most people liked buying gifts people didn't NEED.
It's the hint at the end that makes her think twice about that string of curses. SOME ARE SHARP. A smirked crossed their features , shifting the wrapped gift in their hands. ❛❛ Already given away the surprise are we? ❜❜ A scoff followed , before beginning to 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐔𝐋𝐋𝐘 undo the wrapping. He had said go easy on opening them. When the weapons began to come into view , that smirk turned into A MUCH BRIGHTER SMILE. Pulling their phone from their pocket , they flicked through screens to find his contact info , & tapped the ‘call button’ as they walked to the kitchen for a drink. Waiting for the phone to ring. They waited long enough to hear the call be picked up , before speaking. ❛❛ Giving away the surprise ruins the whole surprise part of a present right? You had t'know I was gonna know what this was. ❜❜
