Room 524, Monday Afternoon

[selfhelphero]

Billy had always been a fan of low-key birthdays - a little cake, some presents, and that was about it. He'd only had one class today, so now he had all afternoon to do whatever he wanted to celebrate being sixteen. His parents had come through with a bunch of different gift cards, since it was easier for him to pick out what kind of geeky things he wanted than try to explain what he wanted to them, so his current celebration consisted of lying on his bed and scrolling through websites on his laptop. The poor mail carriers were going to hate him in a few days when everything showed up.

That... wound up being longer than last time.

Which was... good. Definitely really good.

"Happy birthday," Topher managed breathlessly when he drew back.

Look, that had been really nice.

[selfhelphero]

That had been very, very nice, and Billy couldn't think of anything better Topher could have gotten him. "Awesome choice in presents, I have to say."

[dollpocalypse]

"Good to know this was a smarter choice over a robot that can make coffee," Topher decided. Still a little breathlessly. Hush.

...

"Want to do it again?"

[selfhelphero]

"Absolutely," Billy said, not waiting for a response before leaning in to try to kiss Topher again. What could he say, he really liked getting to do this.
