That sounds so weird, and I love it. What can I do to help?

You can keep me company. [ he kisses her as he cuts open the closest thing to a bun he managed to get ] Today, I'm spoiling you. [ and it's different from every other day in...pretty much nothing. ]

[She loops her arms around him loosely, hoping to let him work without interference if she's not helping.] So, just like the rest of this year? [Not that she doesn't do things for him too. And what they did in that closet was very mutual. But she knows how much he spoils her on the regular.]

I have something for you too. It's not exactly perfect, but I don't know if I was ever going to achieve perfect. I don't want you to have to wait.

[ he smiles at her and leans lightly against her ]

Does that mean you have it on you?

It does. It's in a locked file on the network. [She had a comm person help her out with that which is sad since it should be the most natural thing in the world.]

A locked file? I love it already -

[She laughs and kisses the back of his neck.] I'll show you after we eat. Also, is it too early to think this is a perfect day because it's feeling pretty perfect.

Every day with you does.

[ he brings her hand to his lips and presses a soft kiss to the back of it before getting back to his cooking. ]

[She gently strokes his hair.] It smells good. [At least in the context of space food.]

Should taste pretty good too, I didn't make it.

[ he grins and once the hotdogs are done, fits them into the buns and hands her one. ]

Cheers - [ clinking buns ]

That's my recipe for good food too! [Smiling at him as she clinks and takes a bite.] Mmmm...

We must use the same cookbook.

[ he smiles and takes a big bite, nodding. ] Mm-hmm. [ not half bad! ]

[She slips an arm around his and walks him to the bleachers with the seadog in her other hand.] It's because we're both geniuses. Unpause while we eat?

[ he follows along willingly and sits by her side ]

And then I get my present?

[She leans against him.] Maaaaaybe.

Come ooooooon, haven't I been good?

You've been so beyond good you're making me look bad. [Such a fond look.]

Not giving me my gift's not helping your case, just saying.

[She laughs.] Okay, you can have it now. [She takes a big, not entirely lady-like bite of the sea dog to finish it off and then navigates her communicator before getting to a password that she unlocks with "WinnaversaKitty." Then she hands it over.] It's kind of lengthy and I meant to have graphics and transitions or something but...Happy Anniversary, Winn.

[ he finishes his own snack in the meantime, then licks his fingers and wipes them on his pants before accepting the comm from her (what! they already need a wash anyway) curiously.

he smiles as he watches mon-el's message. his eyes already start to sparkle at fenris'. ]

[She wraps an arm around him and watches him as much as the videos.]

[ he has to wipe actual tears when opal comes on. for a moment, he almost expects to see margaery next. he doesn't want to feel disappointment when stefan comes on, and he pushes it down to focus on the lovely things he's saying, but it's still there. that ache is always there.

peggy's code is a good reprieve. it takes him a moment to decode her message - knowledge comes but wisdom lingers. it's so much like peggy, to say the perfect thing with as few words as possible. he's already feeling overwhelmed with emotion from that when it's belthazar's turn and he's being called an inspiration and he just has to hit pause for a minute because it's too much and he can't process and listen at the same time and he wants to give these his undivided attention.

he looks up at kitty, tears welling up again. ]

I can't believe you did that - [ if you ask him, he's the one looking bad here. ]

Well, it's not really a party unless I make you cry, right? [She kisses his cheeks. She wishes she had gotten more people in sooner before they were gone as hard as that would be to take. After all, it's not just for this moment, it's for a year of moments even if some of them are bittersweet now.]

[ he didn't even realize he made that much of an impact on some of these people - belthazar and he bonded a little over being orphans, and they worked together, sure, but from here to inspiration? he wonders who else he has ahead of him. kara is going to make him cry for sure. and jim, probably. is hank on here, or did he fall into his coma before she got to him?

he wants to keep watching. he also wants to hold her tight and never let go. ]

It's definitely a party. [ he pulls her in for a tight hug. ]

[He can do both! It's just about working the angle. She holds him close.]

Is it too much?
