Today is Klaus's birthday.

Technically, it's the birthday for all the Hargreeves siblings, and while Obi-Wan thinks they might usually want to have a party, he suspects Ben's recent disappearance is likely still weighing too heavily on all of them for such a thing. Still, he wants to acknowledge the day, so he sends flowers to the others, a big bouquet for them to display in their home, accompanied by a nice box of chocolates the woman at the flower shop had kindly suggested.

Klaus, though, he has something else for. Knowing how he's been feeling lately about being in the house without Ben, Obi-Wan takes care to invite Klaus over this evening, making it a special invitation. The apartment is, of course, always open to him and they both know it, but he makes a greater effort this evening so that Klaus knows the day is still special.

He has arranged for a pleasant dinner to be brought to them, has purchased a nice bottle of wine, and has a small package for Klaus, a box sitting wrapped and tied with a bow on the living room table. Inside is a dog tag, just like the ones he already wears for Dave, and Obi-Wan deeply hopes it isn't too presumptuous a gift. Upon the tag, he'd had a date engraved. 01-02-2021. The first time he had ever told Klaus he loves him.

Satisfied with the entire set up, Obi-Wan takes one final look at himself in the mirror and fixes his hair as he waits for Klaus to arrive.

As Obi-Wan urges him on, Klaus’s thrusts get a little harder, a little deeper, until he’s rewarded with the sight of Obi-Wan’s face as he comes, beautiful and sweet and sexy all at once. His body tightens around Klaus’s cock like it wants to keep him there, and Klaus fucks him through it, drawing out the pleasure for as long as he can.

He’s so focused on Obi-Wan that his own orgasm comes as a bit of a surprise, and he cries out softly as he spills into Obi-Wan’s body, fucking erratically through the mess of it for as long as he can before collapsing onto Obi-Wan’s body, panting against the curve of his throat.

“I love you,” he murmurs breathlessly against Obi-Wan’s skin, just because he means it, and he can.

"Hmm," Obi-Wan breathes on a slow exhale, more a sound than an actual word, although into it he tries to pour every bit of what he feels. His love, his affection, his desire. With Klaus, it may have started as a physical connection, one that was undeniably strong, charged with an electricity Obi-Wan hadn't really felt since his last intoxicating fight and flirtation with Ventress. But it's become so much more. It's evolved into this wonderful version of who they are, both apart and together.

He wants to stay here, wrapped up in Klaus, so he tilts his head and kisses Klaus's temple.

"How are you feeling?" he asks with a small, pleased smile. Certainly the sex wasn't meant only as a distraction, but Obi-Wan hopes it served that purpose, too, a little.

The question, along with the kiss, makes Klaus smile, eyes still closed as he relaxes on top of Obi-Wan. He doesn't pull out just yet, instead taking time to enjoy the intimate, sticky feeling of his cock softening slowly inside of Obi-Wan's body.

"I feel great. How could I not feel great?" Klaus drawls out, stretching his arms out to the side before pressing his elbows into the bed on either side of Obi-Wan's shoulders, propping himself up over the man and smiling down at his face, soft and fond.

"I feel good," he says a bit more seriously, leaning in to give him another soft kiss, nudging the tip of his nose up under Obi-Wan's. He hesitates for a moment, lips resting against Obi-Wan's, before continuing quietly. "This is still the happiest that I've ever been."

What they have is more than either of them expected, Obi-Wan knows this. They're both lucky, having been given this second chance, an opportunity to be happy once again, to love someone, to find a way to love again when they thought they wouldn't.

He knows all this and it still does him good to hear the words from Klaus's mouth.

"Good," he murmurs, running his hand down Klaus's damp back, smoothing over his skin. "I want you to be happy."

Happiness isn't something that can be forced, he can't make someone be happy just by his will alone, but he's glad he can have some small part in it regardless. He can bring something to the happiness Klaus feels.

Klaus has to wonder if there's some sort of threshold to just how much he can love someone, because with Obi-Wan, it just keeps climbing and climbing. He falls more each day, with each sweet thing that falls so easily from his mouth. His heart just keeps on growing and growing, and he knows that he loves Obi-Wan more than he loves himself, more than he's ever loved another person.

It feels like a slight discredit to Dave, but Klaus knows it isn't. What he had with Dave was special and real, and a part of his heart will always belong to Dave. Just like he knows the same is true for Obi-Wan and Satine.

But what they have, what they've built together, is incredible. Please, he thinks, let it never end.

"I am, most of the time," Klaus says softly, because to say that he spends every moment happy would be a lie. But overall, especially here in this room, in the arms of this man, he really is. "Thanks in no small part to you."
