So, the big day's coming up...

[ And obviously it sucks that she's spending her birthday where they are, but maybe he can make it better somehow. ]

I was hoping you'd drop hints by now as to what you want but since you're clearly too nice for that, pretend you're selfish for one second and tell me what you want.

To be fair, it's still really weird that I'm celebrating again so soon after the last one.

[ She's literally been eighteen for less than three months. It's weird, thinking about birthday presents again this quickly. ]

But fine, I can pretend for you. I'm guessing you want an answer other than "more art supplies," though?

Weirder than decaying monsters coming out of the sea?

You can't be running out already. Clearly I've gotta keep you busy more...

No. Definitely a different kind of weird, too, one that I 100% prefer.

I'm not, actually, but you might want to keep me busier anyway, just in case.

[ Right, she should be thinking about what she wants. Other than Bellamy, because that's obvious. ]

Okay, in all seriousness, maybe a French press and a stash of really good coffee?

I'm guessing a French press is related to coffee?

[ Now he has to get her one to find out what it is. ]

And if I want to keep you busy on your birthday, can I?

Yeah. It's the superior way to brew it. Did you guys have coffee in space?

[ It's easy enough to guess they didn't have French presses, but it never occurred to her that coffee in and of itself might've been a new discovery for him here. ]

I'll have to check my calendar, but I think I can squeeze you in.

[ Basically no time at all passes between that and her follow up; she can't even pretend that she's got other plans. ]

Looks like my whole day is free. Lucky you. How long do you want me for?

So you're a girl of superior tastes. [ No wonder she likes him so much. ] We didn't have coffee. We had to get energized on our own.

I never stop wanting you, but I don't think that's what you're asking.

Maybe from midday onwards. [ He's going to need the morning to set up... things. ] So you'll have the morning to yourself, or with others, then you're stuck with me.

Obviously. Just look at who I spend my time with. [ Or who she spends the most time with, at least. ] I'll be kind and share a cup with you, then, if you get it for me. It'll change your life.

No, but it is good to know the feeling's mutual.

"Stuck with you," as if that's not how I'd prefer to spend my birthday anyway. [ Can you hear her rolling her eyes? ] I can definitely make that work, though. Your place, my place, or are we meeting somewhere else?

[ Not that there's many places to meet, but she's not opposed to another meal under a tree or something. ]

My place on the day of your birthday. And since the canteen doesn't serve the best food on that day, we'll have a food celebration the following Thursday, under that tree we sat the other day.

[ So she gets two birthday celebrations with Bellamy. It's probably excessive, but it shows how much he likes her. He's never cared about someone's birthday this much. Only Octavia's. ]

If I somehow make you say "wow, this birthday sucked a lot less than I thought it would" by being here, I'll feel accomplished.

[ He hasn't even done anything yet and she already feels like saying that. (And honestly, even being here, it'll probably be better than her eighteenth.) ]

Careful, Bellamy; you're at serious risk of spoiling me here.

[ And not in the way he usually does, although she'd be an idiot to not expect that as well. Not that she's expecting much of anything other than an evening with him on the actual day. ]

But it sounds perfect. I can't wait. :)

That's what birthdays are about.

You're gonna have to wait because it's not your birthday yet. :P

Fine. It better be worth it, though. :P

[ She has no doubt that it will be, of course. ]

I've never disappointed you before and I don't plan on starting now.

Preserve as much energy as you can for me. You're gonna need it.

Do I need to try and get my hands on running or hiking shoes for this?

[ She's about 98% sure the energy will be needed for activities that don't involve clothes, let alone shoes, but she wants to be sure. Just in case. ]

Only a monster would make someone do either of those things on their birthday.

[ He's a monster of sex and that's it. ]

I'm glad we agree on that, because I really don't want to do either of those. Some other time, maybe, but birthdays are for indulging in junk food and fun activities, not exercise.

Don't worry, we'll be burning calories the best way. [ The dirty way. ]

I still have your underwear from the Dive by the way. I washed the pants I was wearing with them in so they're clean now. But I can keep them at my place as a spare pair for you.

[ Is it weird that Clary is touched not only that he's offering to let her keep panties at his place but simply by the fact that he kept them? ]

Good idea. It'll be nice to have some to wear when I leave your place. [ Because it's rare she's wearing any while she's there. ] I'd offer to do the same with the shirt I borrowed from you, but you're not getting it back. Sorry. You could stash another one here, though, if you want.

[ She'd return the one she's got if he really needed or wanted it back, but it might need to be washed before she does because it currently smells like her since she uses it to sleep in most nights. ]

[ He wouldn't throw away anything of Clary's. ]

If you keep coming over without any, you're gonna need your own underwear drawer.

I actually forgot about that shirt. You could have got away without mentioning it... That's fine though, what's mine is yours. Maybe send me a picture in it sometime so I don't miss it too much.

[ He'd tell her to wear it to bed with him but he likes her naked more. They get far too hot for clothes. ]

Is that you offering me one, Bellamy?

[ It makes a lot of logical sense, considering how much time she spends with him (and she'd, of course, do the same for him because if they're not at his place, they're at her's) but it also feels big. In a way that makes her smile and feel a little giddy, but big nonetheless. ]

I can do that. Or I could just wear it next time you're over and you could take the picture instead. You could probably get a better angle; I'd have to use a mirror to get a full-body shot in it. And it's only fair that I pose for you for once.

If you want one, then this is me offering.

[ One day he'll look back at this moment and think - you offered this girl her own underwear drawer at your place and expected her not to catch feelings for you? Dumbass. ]

If you're gonna let me photograph you, I'm not gonna be able to stop at one picture. There's too many poses to choose from. [ All filthy. ]

I do. :) Consider one set aside for you here, too.

[ If he's gonna look at this moment, he'd better look at all the ones leading up to it as well because Clary's already caught feelings. ]

Funny, I don't remember saying you'd have to stop with just one... Though I am really curious about these poses. How many require nudity?

[ Here's hoping his bracelet never gets hacked or lost... ]

[ So they both have drawers in each other's apartments... That's totally normal for "friends". ]

Sounds fair. Thanks. :)

I wasn't actually thinking of naked photos, but if it's on the table, maybe 75%?

[ Don't think about it too much, Bellamy, it's fine. ]

How about 50%? But if you weren't thinking about naked ones, what were you thinking about?

[ She's curious, okay? And more flattered by the idea of him not thinking about nude photos of her than she would've been if that's what he'd meant. She knows Bellamy's interested in more than just her body, but it's a nice reminder. ]

50% is a good compromise.

I think photos of you in my shirt or just your underwear would be just as sexy as you naked.

Maybe some close-ups of your runes too? And your smile. [ Basically his favorite things about her. ]
