Work Text:
Johnny was running a little late. He didn‘t mean to make his lover wait but of course something had to go wrong on your special day. His new assistant – which, to be fair, was understandably nervous in the presence of famous actor and superstar Johnny Cage – had accidentally spilled coffee all over his dress pants, resulting in a stressful sprint back to his trailer. But once he had changed clothes, he grabbed your little surprise and lost no time to jump into his Cabrio to pick you up at your house.
He texted you when he drove into your road and couldn’t help but smile when you came out wearing the cutest outfit. When you got into the car, you noticed the bouquet of pink roses he was holding.
“Those are for you, bunny. Happy anniversary!”, he said. You were surprised; you never got flowers before. It was such a lovely gesture. You took the roses and smelled them, their scent subtle but sweet.
During your ride, you listened to your favorite songs, singing along loudly. Next to your boyfriend, there was no shame whatsoever.
You arrived at a café not much later, a short walk through a passage filled with the aroma of coffee beans and baked goods. There was a free spot at the far end, right next to the window and with a bit of privacy. Johnny ordered for you and held your hand while you waited for your drinks. His stupid, handsome grin made you chuckle.
“You’re so cute.”, you said.
“Not as cute as you!”, Johnny responded.
“Oh, stop!”, you rolled your eyes but secretly loved his puppy-like obsession with you. If he had a tail, it would be wagging non-stop when you were near.
Then the order arrived. A cheesecake with extra chocolate sauce, two iced matcha lattes, and, to top it all off, a homemade cookie (the huge kind), which smelled divine. Of course, being the social media star he was, Johnny snapped a few photos first – selfies, his specialty.
Happily, he tapped away on his phone while you stole his first bite. The cake was soft and delicious, and they were seriously generous with the matcha. There were some advantages to being his partner, you thought. Suddenly, your phone lit up with a notification, and when you opened it, you saw Johnny’s post about your date and how much he loved you. You giggled and kissed his cheek.
“Love you too, Johnny.”
After you ate, Johnny paid and led you both back to the main street and then towards the mall. He had promised a shopping spree, since he couldn’t help but spoil you. You found a couple of things, among them some new pants. Johnny was hyping you up in the mirror, telling you how good you looked in them, how it accentuated your hips, and -
if he were a dog, he would’ve been drooling all over the stall.
“I take them if you find something you like, babe!”, you said, feeling bad for only letting him treat you. Johnny didn’t mind, he had the money, that wasn’t the issue. But he was touched nonetheless. You were equals in your relationship.
While he searched for something that interested him, you pointed out a couple of items that you knew he would love. You knew his taste all too well, and oh, he was so excited when he saw the stuff you picked out for him. It was like watching a kid, the way he held it to his chest. Pure joy.
As the day came to an end, you got yourselves another drink on the go and headed back to his car. However, before you got in, Johnny pulled you into a warm hug and kissed you softly. His lips brushed against your cheeks and your neck, and you let out a slight sigh as he nibbled on your skin. You lifted his chin and stroked his hair.
“Thank you for today.”, you whispered.
“Thank you! For everyday.”, Johnny replied.
He pulled you into the car and you drove back to his place, spending the rest of the night together. And perhaps, the next one too.
