A delivery woman came in and set down a gift basket in front of Dereck. He looked at her then the basket and gave her a WTF look. She shrugged.

The basket had an odd mix of things: Peanut butter, A fake butterfly, captains hat, scarf, his favorite action hero(Batman), a plastic raindrop, sun shaped stress ball, an apple, half a strawberry, toy cigarette (blows fake smoke) fake wedding ring. fake crown, big plastic tooth, little shoe(w/o laces), stuffed heart, water bottle (represents vodka), pencil, ice pack.

I helped her climb on the table and she sang:

♥*-.lyrics.-*♥

You can be the peanut butter to my jelly

You can be the butterflies I feel in my belly

You can be the captain

And I can be your first mate

You can be the chills that I feel on our first date

You can be the hero

And I can be your sidekick

You can be the tear That I cry if we ever split

You can be the rain from the cloud when it's stormin'

Or u can be the sun when it shines in the mornin'

Don't know if I could ever be Without you

'Cause boy you complete me

And in time I know that we'll both see That we're all we need

Cause you're the apple to my pie

You're the straw to my berry

You're the smoke to my high

And you're the one I wanna marry

Cause you're the one for me (for me)

And I'm the one for you (for you)

You take the both of us (of us)

And we're the perfect two

We're the perfect two

We're the perfect two

Baby me and you

We're the perfect two

You can be the prince and I can be your princess

You can be the sweet tooth I can be the dentist

You can be the shoes and I can be the laces

You can be the heart that I spill on the pages

You can be the vodka and I can be the chaser

You can be the pencil and I can be the paper

You can be as cold as the winter weather

But I don't care as long as were together

Don't know if I could ever be

Without you 'cause boy you complete me

And in time I know that we'll both see

That we're all we need

Cause you're the apple to my pie

You're the straw to my berry

You're the smoke to my high

And you're the one I wanna marry

Cause your the one for me (for me)

And I'm the one for you (for you)

You take the both of us (of us)

And we're the perfect two

We're the perfect two

We're the perfect two

Baby me and you

We're the perfect two

While she sang he stared shocked at me while I got all the matching items out of my backpack. From the Jelly all the way to a fake ring. After she finished her song I pulled out the last dozen fresh roses from under the table. I set the vase with the specially dyed blue roses in front of him.

The world had faded and all I saw was him. "What's all this?" He asked in a voice thick with emotion. I smiled and pulled him into my chest and spoke into his ear when he snuggled closer.

"17 dozen roses for the 17 years of an unbelievable friendship, A dozen roses specifically dyed your favorite color to represent you, unique and special. A stuffed penguin because penguins mate for life, regardless of gender or age once they find their mate it's always and forever. A basket of your favorite sweets because you're my all time favorite treat. The song is how I feel about you. You're my other half. So I got you a basket of all the halves and I brought all mine. Happy 18th birthday Dereck. I love you baby." I said and sealed my speech with a slow kiss.

I pulled back and froze..... Shit! I thought it would be nice but I guess he hates it. My heart plummeted. I

'd worked hard trying to make this special for him. f*ck I messed it up so much I made him cry! He doesn't cry... Except when his parents died... shit I messed it up bad.

I pulled him back into my arms so he wouldn't get embarrassed by people seeing him upset. He always played like he was cool and calm.

"Shh I'm so sorry babe, I just wanted to do something special for you. Please don't cry. I'm so sorry." I pleaded in his ear.

He shook and I was about 3 seconds away from freaking out. I made it worse. f*ck! What do I do now. He pulled back a minute later and he wasn't crying anymore, he was laughing.

Him with wet eyes, flushed cheeks and a huge grin was the best thing I'd ever seen in my life. It made me feel ten feet tall and invincible. I'd put that look on his face and I wanted to do it over and over again for the rest of our lives.

"This was all so sweet Vin. I cant believe I forgot my own birthday! This means the world to me." He smiled and pulled me into a fierce hug.

"I wasn't crying, my eyes were just drooling" He whispered in my ear.

I laughed. I could relax now that I knew he didn't hate it. I patted his head teasingly. "Sure, cause eyes drool all the time." I agreed playfully.

He gave me a playful nip on the neck before pulling away.

He looked at everything and shook his head laughing. "I cant believe you orchestrated all this. I love you Vincent. Weird drama wh*re ways and all!" He said climbing into my lap and kissing the life out of me.

Mmm life is gooooood!
