He looks at me and smiles. "I just really love you. Thank you for today."
I smile back at him. "It's totally fine. Happy Birthday babe." We kiss again and I hug him tight and he does the same.
"Well, shall we get to bed then? I have one last present for you." I smirk at him.
"Yeah, definitely." Finn replies eagerly and I laugh as we walk off into our room.

Finn's POV
It's Saturday so neither me nor Rachel have any classes today, meaning we can pretty much just have the day to ourselves. School has been pretty chilled recently, just basically consisting of showing up to classes, grabbing a coffee between them, going back to the dorm, cuddling up with Rachel and occasionally cooking dinner together. That's pretty much been the daily cycle these last few days. It's 10am and I just woke up, so I roll over to hold Rachel close to me who is fast asleep next to me. We decided just after my birthday that we might as well just share a room now, since she's been sleeping in my bed since we got together anyway. So we moved all of Rachel's clothes into my wardrobe - well, our wardrobe - and all her things like that are now in the same room. Her old room is pretty much like a guest room now, so I guess if we ever have people sleep over and stuff they can sleep there.
I feel Rachel start to wriggle around gently in her sleep, as she pushes her bum up against me. "Good morning, beautiful." I greet her and she does her little sleepy smile which I find completely adorable.
"Mmmorning." she mumbles and turns to face me and I cuddle her closer, not wanting to get out of bed. "Mm..do you want some pancakes for breakfast?"
I smile and kiss her forehead. "That would be really good, thanks babe." She smiles up at me and kisses me slowly, before getting out of bed and throwing on one of my shirts to make them.

I hear her humming a song to herself as she makes some noise in the kitchen getting out all the things for pancakes. I lay down in bed just listening to her humming thinking about how amazing it is that we live together. How we didn't even know each other until we found out we were roommates. It's like we were meant to meet each other and be together like this, almost like it was fate. I mean, to me Rachel is the most perfect girl and I'm just some guy who dropped out of Maths class and hasn't done anything special. It doesn't make sense how I'm supposed to be here with her, waiting for her to make us breakfast and start our day together. It's crazy how suddenly things can change.

Rachel's POV
"Pancakes are ready!" I call out to Finn as I flip over one last pancake and place it onto a plate. He walks into the kitchen rubbing his eyes and smiles at me, before coming up behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Babe, not now." I giggle as Finn kisses my neck slowly, pushing back my hair.
"Come on, I know you love it." He tells me as he continues. I turn around to face him and hold a plate of pancakes out to him.
"Here, take your pancakes and stop being a distraction." I say as he takes the plate and I playfully smack his butt. He laughs and sticks his tongue out at me as he sits down, and I do the same.

We sit down together and eat our pancakes just talking casually.
"The thing is, I don't understand why we have to study and get homework too." Finn states as he takes another bite of his food.
"Why should you complain, you don't do any of it anyway!" I laugh and Finn shrugs and laughs too knowing I'm right.
"I'm just saying, for the people who do do it, it's too stressful, that's why I don't."
"Alright, well if you don't mind I'd rather enjoy my Saturday without thinking of classes." I smile and Finn smirks. He takes one last bite and takes his plate and mine over to the sink as I finish too.
"Are you going to see the boys today?" I ask Finn as I walk over to the sofa and lay down on it.
"Maybe, I was thinking they could chill with us in the dorm." Finn says as he cleans our plates.
"Yeah sure, that would be nice." I agree. "Do you want me to text Sam?"
"Yeah, alright. Tell them to come over in like half an hour." Finn tells me as I get out my phone and start writing to Sam.
