My Arctic Fight Post! It took me a while, but I was finally inspired to do something. And I'm inspired to do a lil written thing underneath as well. It'll be under a read more if anyone wants to take a look at it.

They tell you if you wish on a shooting star, that perhaps one day it might come true. That if you hold it in your heart and keep it close to your chest, not daring to let a soul know, that perhaps it might be real. Some wish for wealth or money, perhaps for something new and shiny. A car or a house. To be happy with oneself. A new pet to keep you company in the dead of night. A child might wish for a dollhouse, perhaps a new action figure of their favorite superhero.

But that's not my wish.

My wish has always been to not be so alone. To wake up and feel as if someone is there. To spend the cold winter nights laughing and talking with someone until our eyelids grow heavy and we can't quite speak anymore as the comfort of sleep pulls us down into a blissfully serene sleep. Sometimes you find things where you least expect it. A seashell within a forest. A fox admiring the ocean as it sits upon the beach. And sometimes it isn't always good. Such as oil within the ocean. Stray shards of glass wedged within the sand. But you can still find beauty in the unfortunate. Such as flowers sprouting out of an old truck, now one with the earth. Grass still growing in the wake of a fire.

Our world can be so very cruel. People can be vile. But despite it all I found you. And it may not be the picture perfect image I'd always imagined of taking. But nothing's perfect. It doesn't have to be.

Getting to sit here with you, staring up at the stars as we take one day at a time, learning more and more as the time slips through our fingers. I couldn't have found anything better. Knowing you feels like a wish come true.

Happy Birthday, Thomas!

[All Thomas Hunt x Alex Spencer Masterlists] [Red Carpet Diaries]

Pairing: Thomas Hunt x Alex Spencer (F!OC) Book: Red Carpet Diaries Word Count: > 700 Rating: General: no warnings, just fluff

Synopsis: Alex helps Thomas celebrate his special day.

Look at how precious these babies are!!! ArtbyAinna (IG) always captures these two so brilliantly! Every piece is just so beautiful!

The faint flicker of the small candle on the gourmet cupcake cast a soft glow as Alex stepped into the dimly lit theater. Her smile grew further as she paused to watch Thomas adjust the projector. His movements were precise and well-practiced.

Their home theater had been his pride and joy. He had spent years adjusting it, adapting it, and growing it. As their lives changed, so did their theater. The once practical space had become softer. Couches for lounging replaced some of the traditional seating. The posters that hung shifted from golden age masterpieces to their own work over the years, and now the added animated feature at the request of Felicity and Vincent. Right now, their chosen frame displayed a Paw Patrol poster; hanging next to it were the twins' drawings of Bogart joining the team.

The hum of the project coming to life pulled her back. She moved closer, her melodic voice guiding his attention to her.

"Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday to you—"

"Did we not already cover this earlier?" He interrupted with a raise of his brow.

She continued with a little "shh" and back to the song.

"Happy birthday, my dear Thomas,

Happy birthday to you."

"I recall us already celebrating with cake earlier," he insisted. He had never been one to indulge in too many sweets or birthday festivities at all. He was looking forward to the quiet evening they had planned and the large bowl of popcorn with jalapeños waiting for him.

"Yes, but this cupcake is special and chosen specifically for you." She began handing the plate to him but pulled it back slightly. "But first, you must make a wish." Before he could protest, she continued. "You don't have to believe in it, but do it for me." She pressed a kiss to his cheek, handing him the plate.

"Okay," he agreed, his gaze never leaving her.

As he accepted the dessert, he took a moment before blowing out the slowly dancing flame. There was no reason for grown adults to still make birthday wishes. This is something he would leave to his children... and Alex, who saw magic in everything. They were different in that way—and yet, he admired her in a way he couldn't explain. And in that, somehow, her belief gave him a flicker of faith. He closed his eyes and blew out the candle as he made his wish.

A delicate smile filled his face as he opened his eyes, meeting hers again. "I have succumbed to a frivolous tradition. I hope you're happy."

"Immensely," she kissed his lips gently. "Now, to understand why this cupcake was chosen especially for you, you'll have to take a bite. You don't have to eat it all—I know you're waiting for your popcorn, but try it."

Thomas exhaled softly through his nose, inspecting the beautiful cupcake before biting. His eyes widened as the flavor profile washed over his taste buds.

"Whiskey Caramel," she smiled at his delight. "Two of your favorite things, or at least, one of your favorites and one of mine," she teased. "Addi and I were checking out a new bakery and, when I saw this, I knew you needed to try it. So, what's the verdict?"

He considered the complementary flavors that melted on his tongue. It was a delightful combination, one even he could enjoy. "The caramel brings in some sweetness that pairs well with the warmth and smoky whiskey, especially in the buttercream frosting. However, the cake could be moister with the addition of a touch more whiskey."

"More whiskey?" Her brow rose curiously. "Predictable. Good thing I have a bottle of your favorite scotch awaiting you once the movie begins."

"I love you," his words were quiet, filled with an appreciation he still marveled was his. For a moment, he simply held her gaze, grateful for the path his life had taken to end up in this moment with her beside him. There were times when he still paused in disbelief that this life was his. It was not one he had anticipated or expected; and, yet it was everything he needed.

Her hand cradled his jaw, her thumb brushing tenderly across his cheek. "I love you, too. Happy birthday, my love."

Thank you for reading. This was a last minute fic so there were no edits or revisions. I've been feeling so self conscious about writing lately that I haven't been able to write, but when I went to post the art this little fic came to life so I'm not second guessing it, just sharing it out. I hope you enjoy it. Please consider leaving a comment or reblogging. 💛

PS— (My) Thomas's birthday falls on national popcorn day and I just love that for him. hehe
