The Brightest Birthday [Open]

The Sensorium was transformed, the lights were lit and the trap was set. Billy stood in the center of a beautiful woodland clearing at dusk, waiting to surprise a certain special girl with a quiet and warm party for her birthday. Things were calm, beautifully lit, and (hopefully) just right for Ronnae.

Guests would come upon a circular layout to the clearing. One finely-cut circle in the center of the grass, separated from the rest of the area by entwined roots, served as the dance floor. Pathways wound out in several directions---to a secluded grove for talking in one direction, to the little round tables in another direction, to the vine-wrapped throne watching above all. Next to it was a small table for gifts, with one round box already placed there.

A crescent-shaped food table cupped the dining area, featuring simulations of foods of all sorts. Salads, meats, pasta, soups, hot potatoes---it was heavily based on Earth food, as that was what Billy knew best, but some dishes more familiar to the people of Azeroth would appear as well. If he did his research correctly, at least. He'd tried.

Standing just behind the table was a tiered strawberry cheesecake, red ribbons flowing throughout the creamy structure. It was surrounded by strawberries on all layers, and topped with a little decoration. Billy had argued with himself about whether it was appropriate or too sentimental for a little while, but there it was: a miniature big-headed version of Ronnae sitting on top of a flower, the little figure's toothy grin flashing at the crowd. He hoped she wasn't offended.

Now that the scene was set and the skylights were giving the place a gentle glow, he braced himself for the arrivals. He still wasn't sure if she would like the attention, but he hoped she could find a reason to smile tonight.
((Now open! Subthreads are up for early arrivals, the escorting, and gifts, and everything else can be social threads y'all start. Throw up more subthreads if you'd like to and have fun!))

Ronnae ~~passes out~~ eyes the box lovingly, a small smile on her face as her misty eyed gaze travels over the box as her slender finger traces the detail on it. She could feel her heart racing just thinking about the thought put into it from her lover and her thoughts drifted to the things he had asked recently to her very oblivious self. He was always so thoughtful and caring, it was no surprise that her heart felt as if it was soaring.

Once she opened it, her ears flicked curiously at the sound and she couldn't keep her tears from running down her smooth and warm face. It was beautiful, everything about the box tugged at her heartstrings as it reminded her of the things she loved. She bit her lip as she closed it, wiping at her tears as she tried breathing to calm herself. Feeling light headed from all the emotions that were running rampant through her thoughts.

She finally turned to face a hurry to her lover, almost tackling him from the force of the embrace as she buried her head against his chest, tears of joy making his shirt wet as she held on to him, not saying a word but the feelings of love were apparent.

Billy always felt strange watching her cry. It shouldn't have been sad. She was happy, right? His eyes focused on her observations of the box, silently looking at her exploration of the detail. She was so careful. And that, he hoped, was a good sign.

He let out a soft noise of surprise, quickly folding her in his arms and running his hands over her back. Everything was just fine. Satisfied, he leaned down to kiss the crown of her head and whisper in her ear.

"Happy birthday, sweetheart."

"Y-you didn't... you didn't have to... I... T-thanks... you don't know how h-happy I am... it's jus'... so a-amazingly perfect for you to h-have done all of this... for someone like me. I... I l-love you more than anything B-Billy." she sobbed lightly, but laughed a bit.

"I must l-look like such a mess right now." she joked, looking up at him and wiping at her eyes. A bright and warm smile adorned her face alongside her shining, teal eyes.

Billy rocked her in his arms as long as he needed to. He was smiling against her hair, so happy to have pleased her.

He reached down to wipe her tears, shaking his head. "You're beautiful, as always. Don't worry."

It was her birthday, she was the queen of it all!

Ronnae would argue of course, but there was no point with him, and she was genuinely happy after all. Everything had been so much fun.

"T-thanks..." She hugged him tightly, not really wanting to let go. He'd have to carry her out! or get a crowbar or something to pry her from him!

Billy squeezed her, humming a familiar old birthday song. She really deserved this.

"Hey, do you think you're taking me home too? Am I one of your presents?" He winked. "I must've forgotten the bow."

She shook her head against him playfully. "Nope~"

Ronnae smiled against his chest and looked up playfully, a small blush on her cheeks. "I'm your present. It's like ummmm a present for the most wonderful lover ever~ See? I even have my bows already!"

Shaking her head again a bit more to emphasize her tied up ponytails as the long, wine colored tresses swung from side to side.

Billy had to laugh. He stroked one of the long ponytails with a smile, imagining it all tied in an elaborate network. She was gorgeous.

"But I'm not the one with a birthday today. It's all for you. And there's even more if you want it," he dropped his voice to say.

"More? I already thought this was too much, not that I haven't enjoyed myself! I jus', you know how I am." she added with an awkward smile and blush.

"What more is there?" She asked curiously looking up at him.

Billy gave a little shrug, gazing out at the clearing. "A little of this, a little of that. We can dance, of course. I'd love to. I've brought ribbons for tossing, and maybe you'd like to have a little fun with them. We'll eat, and then we're going home."

Hint hint.

"Oh, that all sounds like a ton of fun! We can do them all! ... I m-mean if... if you d-don't mind that is. We can relax together too, that's always one of my favorite things to do." All cuddled up and warm and cozy and happy!

Hints went over her head of course!! Cause, she's silly like that.

Billy just smiled over her head. If that was all she needed to be happy, he'd give her just that. No need to push things.

"Then we'll have some hot strawberry milk tonight. My mom used to heat it up when I couldn't sleep. I got into the habit of drinking certain hot beverages to stay awake in later years, but I always enjoyed those nights in the kitchen."

He was glad he'd picked up that strawberry syrup. It was rationed for special occasions like this.

Ronnae's face lit up at once at the mention of one, strawberries, and two, made into a drink! Her favorite combination!!

"That sounds great! I can't wait to do that now~" she said excitedly, still hugging and nuzzling against Billy.

"But it can wait for when we're all nuzzled up in our home after the festivities... W-which, I can't thank you enough for love... you're... you're so w-wonderful to me."

"Only because you deserve it, Ronnie," he whispered into her ear. "When Elli told me your birthday had come, I couldn't just ignore it. Not after you've been so great to me."

And that was that! He was stubborn.

"I... well.... but..." Face it Ronnie, you cannot defeat his logic! Not when he was about as stubborn as you!

With a small laugh, Ronnae accepted her fate and smiled up at him timidly. "Alright... but we've both been amazing to each other then. And... well I've been really happy about all this!"

That stuttering was what finally got to Billy. He leaned forward and pulled her into a kiss, as he'd been longing to do for quite a while. His lips lingered over hers, teasing and massaging and tasting. Yes, he was quite happy.

"You can feel it, can't you?" his whisper grazed her lips, just barely audible.

The kiss definitely caught her off guard, her eyes widening and her body tensing up at first in surprise. But that quickly changed when she could be felt easily melting in his embrace. Body relaxing, head leaning up to press into the kiss and enjoy every single moment of it.

Once the kiss broke, just so she could hear his soft and loving voice, she nodded, a bit flushed. But that wasn't going to stop her from renewing the kiss and simply enjoying it all again, this time more eagerly.

Billy definitely found himself pleased by this. With a little wave of his hand, he caused a string of beautiful flowered vines to rise up, obscuring them from the view of the rest of the party. They didn't really need privacy, but he thought she might want it.

"That's more like it. So you're happy on your birthday, right?"

It made her heart skip a beat for sure! Billy was always so thoughtful and she loved him all the more for it. He reassured him of his decision by putting a bit more spice into the kiss before breaking it. A small little hint of things to come later, probably!

She gave him a little nod and blushed, "Y-yeah! I... I hadn't even been thinking about my birthday and then this... it was all so wonderful love and I couldn't be happier!" Her arms wrapped around him in a warm and cozy embrace, loving every moment that she spent at his side.

This day had just been amazing, and she was feeling that it would continue to be as such and more!

"I think you could be," Billy teased her cryptically, leaving a little kiss on her nose. "That'll be my challenge tonight, I think. Making you happier than you already are at this moment."

"It's not hard at all for you." she admitted shyly.

"I mean, all you have to do is be with me and say the things you always say and my heart soars..."

"It's not all words. I wish we could hog this Sensorium all night and take a walk in the starlight, but we'll have to settle for a quiet night at home. Where I want to make sure you'll know."

That I love you and that you have a family here, he thought, curling close.

A deep blush crossed over her face as she looked up affectionately at Billy. her heart was racing, much like it always did when he knew just what to say and how to say it. The imagery alone was enough to make her melt in his arms and the thought of a nice night together sealed her in a comforting warmth unlike any other.
