Freddie and Bobby for your birthday ask!

Also Happy Birthday!!

Thank you!! <3

Freddie Slater

• It’s his 19th and that feels like a big deal to him, it’s essentially his last year before finally hitting proper “adulthood” aka his 20s

• (To be honest, every birthday is a big deal to Freddie, he just loves any excuse for a party)

• So, he is absolutely determined to celebrate it in style — we’re talking a full night of partying, drinking, dancing to the best tunes, having the time of his life to mark this occasion

• He obviously asks Kathy if he can have his party at the Albert (after deciding it’s probably a better environment than Peggy’s) and she says yes

• He tells people not to bother with presents as he “isn’t into all that material stuff” but no one actually listens to that; his mum sends him a nice shirt and some money, Kat gets him this stupidly expensive watch (it has a leopard print strap), Stacey/Jean & the kids give him a new wallet and a bracelet

• ‘It’s supposed to be made of real crystals or stones or summat. Said on the tag that it was good for the chakras,’ Stacey says, shaking her head sheepishly. ‘I know it ain’t much—‘

‘Stace, are you kiddin’? I love it!’ Freddie stands up and catches her by surprise in a hug that squashes the air out of her. She still laughs all the same and pats his back.

• Jean also gives him a small photo album full of pictures of his mum, Kat, Stacey, Big Mo, Charlie and a few of his other family members, to remind him that he has a family, one who loves him deeply and cares about him completely. It makes him tear up a bit

• Alfie buys him a cake to surprise him as soon as he wakes up — double chocolate, his favourite — and he promises to buy him a drink at Vic, then offers to get him a birthday meal too

• The entire day, he’s bouncing around, high on life, so much so that he doesn’t notice Bobby constantly trying to tell him he got him something

• They go to the Albert where they have a great time — Freddie is once again wearing a feather boa around his neck and some plastic “birthday” novelty glasses, as well as a massive pin badge that says “birthday boy” courtesy of Rocky

• Finally, standing together at the bar, Bobby mentions that he bought him something

• ‘It’s nothing big or fancy,’ he says hastily, clearly not wanting to get his hopes up as he digs something out of his trouser pocket. ‘It’s just, I saw it and it reminded me of you. That’s so cheesy, isn’t it?’

Freddie beams at him. ‘Bob, you know I’m a cheese man. And, whatever it is, I already love it ‘cause it’s from you.’

Bobby presents it to him: A deep blue pendant, shaped like a long, slender crystal on a soft black rope chain. Freddie recognizes the stone before Bobby explains.

‘It’s Lapis Lazuli,’ he says, his brows furrowing as Freddie gently takes it from him. ‘I read that it’s supposed to have a lot of good spiritual properties, especially something to do with, erm, blocking negative emotions and honesty?’

He says it so uncertainly, clearly trying hard to remember the exact words he read. He fidgets with his hands as Freddie continues to stare at the pendant in awe.

‘I just figured that… with everything you’ve been through recently,’ he says softly, ‘it might help you to come to terms with all of it. It’s probably stupid, I know, but—‘

‘Bob,’ Freddie interrupts, lifting his gaze to him in utter adoration. ‘This means the world to me.’

Bobby visibly brightens, his eyes widening. ‘Really?’

‘It’s so thoughtful,’ Freddie continues, caressing the stone with his thumb. ‘I am seriously lucky to have you in my life, Bob. You know, Lapis is also a stone of friendship.‘

‘Oh,’ Bobby says, a smile pulling at the corners of his mouth. ‘I, uh, I didn’t know that. I read all of that and it was the closest that I could find to a Sapphire — your birthstone — and I just thought you might like it.’

Freddie smiles at him, looking deeply into his eyes as he says, ‘I love it.’

Bobby Beale

• It is his 20th and while that seems sort of worth celebrating to some people, Bobby is not one of them. He could understand if it was his 21st but 20 is just… 20

• Not to mention, he doesn’t much like his birthday and really doesn’t want to make it a big deal

• Freddie, self-appointed party planner, is a bit disappointed, as are Kathy and Anna, who really wanted to make it a bit more special

• However, they band together and figure something out that has the best of both worlds: a game might at home, watching some movies. That’s fine by Bobby

• He can’t really refuse when Kathy, Ben and Peter insist on taking him for lunch at the Vic, though, with Callum and Rocky joining them (Anna may or may not make sure that Bobby’s orange juice keeps mysteriously refilling free of charge)

• Game night consists of the following guests: Anna (she gifts him with a little teddy bear that she saw on one of the stalls and thought had his eyes and was the same colour as his hair, as well as a framed photo of the two of them and Freddie), Peter (he slips him £50 and a hug), Kathy (she bought him a nice LOTR t-shirt that he loves, as well as some money), Rocky and Freddie, of course

• They play Cluedo and Monopoly and Cards Against Humanity (the latter only comes out when it’s only Bobby, Freddie, Anna and Peter left, thankfully)

• It’s a really good night, even if Freddie and Anna eat more of his victoria sponge cake than he does, and he asks Freddie to stay over as Anna insists she needs to go home

• At that point, Freddie finally confesses that he did buy him something, but he was waiting until they were alone to give it to him

• Bobby’s heart nearly stops when he sees him pull out a ring box, and he’s pretty sure it actually does when he recognizes the ring inside of it

‘Is this…’ He looks up at Freddie, wide-eyed. ‘This is the ring. The One Ring from — from Lord of the Rings, how did you—? This must’ve cost you a fortune.’

Freddie shrugs the last remark off, beaming at him with excitement. ‘It is, and it’s genuine. Well, a genuine copy, from sight collection site, but it’s as close to the one in the movies as possible.’

‘Freddie…’ Bobby begins faintly but he trails off with a shake of his head, realizing he doesn’t have the words to express what he’s feeling right now. ‘This is… thank you! I mean, it’s amazing, seriously.’

He gently slips it out of the foam cushion and finds a slender silver chain attached to it. He runs his fingers over the engravings.

‘You’re welcome, Bob,’ Freddie says, clasping his shoulder. ‘See, I was gonna get you summat with your birthstone on it but then I read up on it and found out that ruby is the gift you give for your 40th anniversary. So, I figured I’d wait until we’ve known each other 40 years. Make it proper and special.’

‘You do know that’s only for wedding anniversaries, right?’ Bobby points out, barely able yo take his eyes off the ring. He’s already turning into Gollum.

Freddie shrugs again and winks, his grin widening as he says, ‘Who knows what’ll happen in 40 years? Whatever does happen though, Bob, I’m absolutely confident that we’ll still be in each others lives. That ain’t never gonna change.’

Send me a character and I’ll give you my birthday headcanons for them!

HEY FRIENDS CELEBRATE ME REACHING 2500 FOLLOWERS BY SENDING ME ASKS:

Nothing’s off the table for these asks. You can ask me anything. Top 3′s, Top 5′s, Top 10′s, even Top 22′s (lord). They can be BL related, KPOP related, food, movies, people. Or you can just drop in the ask box to show your love and congratulate ya sis on 2500.

MOR WHY WOULD YOU DO ME THIS WAY? OF THE YEAR?? IN ACTUAL ORDER??

5. Semantic Error. I wasn't even planning to watch the series. But the editing and acting really pulled me in. I love the dynamics between Jae Young and Sang Woo and the plot turned out to be quite interesting. 10/10.

4. Old Fashion Cupcake. For such a short series it left a deep impression on me. I related to both Togawa and Nozue. It was great to see a romance following two people closer to my age group and the acting was superb. I loved the plot. Perfection.

3. Blueming. I loved every single thing about Blueming. Everything. Every fucking thing. I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did but I could watch it over and over and over.

2. Love in the Air. I know it's only half way over, but I adore it. The characters draw me in. I love PayuRain and I can't wait for SkyPrapai. It's no secret that I'm obsessed.

KinnPorsche the Series. Is anyone shocked? Really? KP was superb. I loved the entire series. The plot was interesting, lots of characters to fall in love with, excellent styling, and a great budget. I loved all the action, romance, smut, violence, and deceit. 20/10/
