A September to Remember

Summary:

Ficlets for the Honey Mini Challenge. Since today is our favorite couples' anniversary, I thought I'd choose that as the theme. To celebrate their wedding month, each chapter will be related in some way to their wedding or anniversary. No time to plan, so these might be out of order chronologically 🙃

**Edit** I lied, apparently my brain wants to write one continuing story about their anniversary day....so that's what you're going to get.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Chapter 1: Rose

Summary:

David gets an unwanted anniversary gift

Notes:

Prompt: Rose (but I cheated and used Rosé....🤷‍♀️)

Chapter Text

“Honey?”

“Yeah?”

“What the fuck is this?”

“I don’t know, David.  It was delivered with the mail.  It has your name on it, so I didn’t open it.”

“Did you see the label?!”

Patrick suppressed a grin. “Yes. Yes I did.”

David huffed as he grabbed the box cutter and sliced through the packing tape. “This better not be what I think it is.”

He pulled out the packing list that contained a special note at the bottom.

“‘Happy Anniversary to our progeny and his designated grape.  Your father and I wish you many more years of blissful merriment.’  Ugh.  I can’t believe she did this.”

“Come on, David, it was thoughtful of them to send us an anniversary gift.”

“No, Patrick, she sent us a case of what I can only assume is undrinkable Moira Rosé.”

“I thought you two couldn’t find one that you liked and Herb scrapped the whole idea.”

“Dad called and smoothed things over with him, but I have no idea what flavor profile he chose.”

David pulled a bottle from the box and started inspecting the label, then made a gagging noise.

“Absolutely not.  Strawberry banana?!  That was the worst one, Patrick!”
