On the kitchen counter sits a bottle of wine tied with a bow and a small envelope containing a card with a cat that looks nearly identical to Holly wearing a party hat. The card reads:

HAVE A PURRFECT BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday, Mycroft - Let's celebrate with cake and champagne on the beach of your choice. Pick a resort and I'll treat. Bonus points if you pick a week where snow's in the forecast back home(s).

You're another year older (and perhaps wiser, but the jury's out on that one). You're getting sexier with age, as one does. I'm a prime example, of course. I'm proud of you and all you've accomplished in the last year.

I love you very much and I'm looking forward to spending the day with you.

Sincerely yours forever, John

mycroft can't help but chuckle at the card. leave it to john to not only find a card like that but to give it to him for his birthday. it's sweet and it causes a warm feeling to flood his stomach. god, he does love that man a lot.

he wrinkles his nose at the mention of cake on a beach. the champagne sounds lovely though. maybe they'll find a private one again. those are always lovely for... various reasons. completely... normal reasons.

out of the corner of his eyes, he notices john poke his head out from around a corner. he doesn't acknowledge him. not yet, at least. he hums at the rest of the card, both in agreement ( yes, john is sexy ) and also disagreement ( he is very wise. he doesn't know what he's talking about ).

mycroft closes the card and looks back at john, a soft smile on his face. "i love you too, dove. and thank you for the lovely gift."
