Work Text:
Droid was nervous. Okay... he was excited and nervous. He had been anxiously waiting by the door ever since Pezzy had texted he was on his way. It was Pezzy's birthday and Droid had found a beautiful and perfect spot to take him so honestly, he was a nervous wreck. He sat on the edge of his couch fiddling with the small box that had Pezzy's present wrapped inside. It wasn't much but Droid prayed Pezzy would like it. Suddenly as if on que the doorbell rings. Droid jolts upright, startled by the noise and quickly makes his way to the door. He swings it wide open and there he is. Pezzy cute as ever in a grey button-down shirt with nice black jeans to compliment it, seemingly dressed up for the special occasion. Droid on the other hand wearing an old black hoodie and brown sweatpants.
"Happy Birthday handsome" Droid lets out as he scooches to the right allowing Pezzy to step through the door. Pezzy just shakes his head and tells Droid to shut up with a smile.
"No, I'm serious man" Droid chuckles, "I'm feeling a bit under dressed"
Pezzy laughs and says, "You look fine idiot, better than me for sure."
Droid is taken aback by this statement, "Okay that is not at all true!"
Pezzy, knowing he would lose in this argument with Droid about who looks better decides to change the subject, "Alright so what are we doing tonight?"
Droid looks confused and then embarrassed; how could he have almost forgotten the whole point of this night! "Ah yeah!" Droid exclaims, "Follow me my liege" Droid extends his hand and to his surprise Pezzy takes it. His heart skips a beat, but he tries to ignore it.
Droid leads Pezzy out to his garage and to his motorcycle. He made sure to polish it before Pezzy arrived so it would look good for the occasion. "Here put this on" Droid says while reaching into his hoodie pocket and grabbing a blindfold.
"Okay hold up" Pezzy's eyes widen, "You're telling me I'm gonna ride on the back of a motorcycle blindfolded!?!?"
"Yeah!" Droid replies very casually as if Pezzy had just asked a ridiculous question.
Pezzy just stands there eyeing Droid profusely. "I'll keep you safe" Droid answers back to the glare "Trust me!!"
Droid hands Pezzy his extra helmet and Pezzy places it over his head still skeptically eyeing Droid. It's a little too big for him so the helmet kind of wobbles back and forth which makes Droid smile a little. "You ready" he asks,
"I guess so" Pezzy responds as he hops onto the back and wraps his arms around Droid's waist. Droid can feel his face heat up instantly by the warm embrace, but he does his best to ignore how happy it makes him feel. "Is your blindfold on?"
"Ugh, yes, it is" Pezzy groans, "If I die it's on you" Droid just laughs and starts up the engine.
Just like that they're off! Droid loves going fast so of course he's going a tad over the speed limit mainly because it's fun but also because he wants to show Pezzy the surprise as soon as possible. Every time Droid hits the throttle a little or moves to the right or left Pezzy's grip around his waist tightens just a bit. Each time it makes Droid feel like he's melting, he hopes Pezzy can't feel how fast his heart is beating but knowing his luck he probably can. Droid has never been this distracted while driving before but he can't help it, everything just feels so warm.
"OKAY, RIDING ON THE BACK IS 10 TIMES SCARRIER WHILE BLINDFOLDED!!!" Pezzy has to yell so Droid will hear him over the noise of the bike.
"JUST HOLD ON TIGHT!" Droid answers, "I GOT YOU!!!" Pezzy's grip tightens once again, and the warmth returns all over Droid's body.
A few more turns and they arrive at their destination. "Can I take this off now?" Pezzy asks, struggling to get off the bike in the process.
"No!" Droid replies, hustling over to Pezzy's side to help him off. "We still aren't fully there yet!"
Pezzy sighs but allows himself to be dragged by the taller boy anyways.
"Okay, watch your step" Droid starts, "We kinda have to go slightly up hill for this part"
"I'm gonna die" Pezzy instantly responds and stops walking.
"No one's dying today!"
"Well, what if I fall or something!!"
"Then I'll catch you!!!" Droid pauses, "Come on Max, I would never let anything bad happen to you" Droid notices Pezzy's shoulders relax when he says his name and he simply nods in response, allowing Droid to continue leading him up the hill.
Once they're at the top Droid reaches his hands up to Pezzy's face and begins to remove the blindfold.
"I know I'm taking the blindfold off, but can you keep your eyes closed still for like one minute?" Pezzy huffs in response,
"Anything for you Droid" Droid feels his face warm up and he smiles.
Once the blindfold is removed Droid steps back a little and makes sure the picnic blanket he placed up here earlier is still in place. After looking it over quickly he decides he's ready.
"Okay you can open your eyes now" Droid can feel the sweat drip down the back of his neck while Pezzy slowly opens one eye and then the other. A short and quiet gasp leaves his mouth,
"Droid" he pauses, "this is so sweet" Pezzy says in the cutest and most sincere voice ever. It makes Droid want to scoop him up and never put him down. Droid chuckles a little,
"I'm glad you like it. Pezzy giggles and shoots Droid with a sun piercing grin that leaves him breathless.
"You haven't even seen the best part yet!" Droid moves the conversation along eagerly while sitting down on the blanket and patting the spot next to him, gesturing for Pezzy to sit down too. He does, so Droid reaches his hand into the small basket between them and pulls out a container filled with Whataburger Cinamon rolls. Droid watches as Pezzy's eyes light up at the delicious sight before him. He quickly snatches the whole container out of Droids hands.
"Hey, leave at least one for me bucko!!" Pezzy just laughs in response while shoving one greedily into his mouth.
"Oh, also um..." Droids starts to say looking down and then back up at the confused Pezzy who has his head tilted slightly to the side now.
"I have uhh... one more gift for you" Droid finishes shyly and reaches into his back pocket.
"If you're proposing to me, I'm gonna slap you." Pezzy responds, after slightly seeing the small box come out of Droids pocket.
"Haha, no nothing like that" Droid laughs, "Just open it" Pezzy smiles and takes the box from Droid's hands. The wrapping is pretty bad and a lot of tape was used which makes Pezzy smirk a little. He does eventually get it unwrapped, and his face turns from happy to shocked.
"What the heck?" Pezzy breathes out sofly, "This is gorgeous" He gently lifts the golden necklace out of the box and sighs contently at it. At the end of the necklace dangled a golden heart charm with a real white diamond in the center. Once Droid saw it in the shop he knew he had to buy it for Pezzy.
"I was pretty nervous about giving this to you" Droid finally lets the breath out he hadn't realized he had been holding in. "I wasn't sure if you would like it, I'm really happy that you d- Droid's sentence was instantly cut off with a pair of soft lips colliding with his. Before he can even process what's happening, the lips are gone and Pezzy looks mortified.
"Fuck, Droid..."
"That was so fucking stupid of me, I'm so sor- This time it was Droid who cut Pezzy off. Droid placed his right hand on Pezzy's cheek and the other on his waist. Pezzy wasted no time in tangling his fingers in Droids curls behind his neck. The kiss was slow at first but progressively moved quicker. Droid was far less experienced in this kinda thing, so he moslty let Pezzy lead the way. Pezzy kissed him softly and aggressively at the same time which he never even knew was possible. Pezzy softly tugged on Droid's hair every time the kiss became deeper which led to some pretty embarrassing noises out of Droid. But Droid didn't even care, as long as he was kissing Pezzy he couldn't feel anything but pure bliss. Droid almost forgot this moment was real until Pezzy finally pulled away bringing Droid to his senses and back down to Earth.
"Now that's what I call a good birthday present" Pezzy giggled, clearly still out of breath. "You should've given me that one first" Pezzy laughed again.
Droid still speechless didn't even know what to say, until he finally realized there was only one thing he really did want to say.
"I love you" The words escaped Droids mouth before he could even really process them. Pezzy watched Droid closely and studied him as if he were a work of art.
"I love you too" Pezzy smiled widely, and Droid couldn't help but smile back.
The two couldn't stop smiling the rest of the night while they lied down and looked up at the stars.
"Overall, I'd have to say this was a pretty good surprise Droid" Pezzy leaned on his side to look at Droid happily while saying this. Droid shifted on to his side as well and smiled,
"No kidding!!!" Droid laughed; "I think you surprised me more than I surprised you honestly" Droid laughed while leaning forward and giving Pezzy a quick kiss just because he can now.
"So, are we a thing now Jaime?" Pezzy pulled back once again, and brushed the loose curls out of Droid's eyes, something he's always secretly wanted to do. Droid pretends hearing his name leave Pezzy's mouth doesn't make him want to explode.
"Can we be?" Droid asks, hoping Pezzy can't hear the excitment in his voice, but he knows deep down that he definitely can.
"Of course!" Pezzy replies entusiastically, "I'll pretend like I haven't been waiting for you to ask me that my entire life." He smiles and Droid does too.
"How'd I get so lucky?" Droids asks, and smiles. Pezzy smiles too and kisses him warmly.
"Happy birthday Max"
