[As Teddy pulls a knife from the drawer, he gets a smile and a blush on his face that looks rather pleased and touched. It's one thing to hear that something he made looks good, and it's another to hear that he's amazing.]

Well... I like hearing it no matter how many times you say it.

[As he fills a cup with hot water, he glances over his shoulder, then at the cup again as he casually remarks:]

You sure you aren't full on tiny cups? We could always eat some of big daddy here later.

[Billy is quiet for a moment, mulling it over and mentally debating it with himself. It's true that he had already eaten breakfast as well as the cups, but Teddy surely worked hard to make this... hngh...]

If you can cut, like... a sliver? I really want to try it, but I am kind of full.

[Which he feels a bit silly about, in retrospect. It's just so rare that Teddy's ever up early enough to share breakfast that he's used to sharing food at lunch or dinner instead.]

[Teddy's smile grows for another reason and, once the cup is full and he's put the knife in to heat itself up, he makes his way back to the table to press a kiss to Billy's cheek. Silent appreciation there.]

A sliver, then. [He sits, waiting for the knife to be ready, and seems to muse on something.] We can have more later, like for lunch. I'm already thinking of making schnitzel with noodles and crisp apple strudels.

[Billy quirks an eyebrow at that, fetching a couple of plates. He would know that reference in his sleep; honestly, he's just surprised Teddy does. Maybe because it's so early on in the film.]

Do you even know what schnitzel is?

[Teddy raises his eyebrows, wondering if Billy finally got the theme of all the little things he set around. Wicked wouldn't be so good, but this?]

It's in one of my recipe books. You want chicken? Pork? Some other meat?

[Hopefully the knife is at least warm enough to cut the candy with. He'll just go ahead and try - and if that's not enough, his strength can certainly come in handy.]

[.....Wait.]

Are you serious? You're making it?

[He thought they were joking about it, good grief.]

What is this, Sound-Of-Music Day?

Ding ding ding, we have a winner!

[Someone looks pleased with himself as he cuts the candy.]

Roses, whiskers on kittens, uncopper kettle, wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings, silver white winters, crisp apple strudels, schnitzel with noodles... I was wondering when you'd catch on.

Oh my god, I wasn't even-

[He hadn't thought for a second that it was an actual puzzle, he just figured Teddy was being totally random or something. Now that it's well and truly dawned on him, he grins, leaning in to wind an arm around Teddy and kiss his cheek, careful not to get in the way of the big knife.]

You're adorable. My favourite things! I didn't even know you knew the song!

Are you kidding? I hear it almost every Sunday. It's probably going to be in my head for the rest of my life.

[And he finds it very, very sad that he now knows almost all the early songs by heart. But if it makes Billy happy, then it's only slightly less sad.

He's glad, though, that Billy at least partially caught on. He wouldn't want to reveal the last thing and then have to explain what it all meant and ruin the mystery. And now that the cutting is done, the mystery of how the giant Reese's measures up to the real thing is about to be solved as Teddy carefully sets the tiny slice on a plate.]

One of your favorite things. Eat up!

To be fair, it's a rare day that you aren't asleep twenty minutes in.

[But Billy relents anyway - regardless of how Teddy remembered, he obviously did. And he'd rather be doing something else than quibbling over it, namely tasting the piece of deliciousness just served up to him.

He slides the plate closer to himself, carefully lifting the chocolate treat up to his mouth to take an experimental bite.

.....

Hrnghhhh. He could die happy right now.]

[It's pretty obvious by Billy's reaction that Teddy did a good job, and he did do his best to make it taste as much like the real thing as possible. His smile widens, outwardly pleased with the reaction and his work, and scoots the chair around to sit closer to his boyfriend.]

You like it? [Yeah, it's obvious. But Teddy likes to hear compliments, even if he doesn't realize he tends to dig for them a little.]

Nnngh.

[Give him a minute, he's still riding the chocolate-peanut-butter wave.]

Mmm... how could you possibly tell?

[Okay, yeah, maybe he's exaggerating a little. But it really does taste amazing. Teddy never ceases to surprise him with how good his food is, even when Billy's come to expect great taste.]

Hard to say. Maybe I'm just good at picking up on these things.

[Or maybe it's the near-orgasmic look on Billy's face. Mission successful, then, and it makes Teddy feel giddy inside. It's always a good feeling, making the person you're in love with happy. Even better when it's from cooking, one of the very few hobbies where Teddy can make something with his hands and not break anything.]

Knowing the way you eat, it'll probably last a while, too. [Which means Teddy should probably stay far away from it, lest half of it disappears within a day or less.]

Oh god, I might actually break tradition with this. You've created a competition for my one true love.

[He's not sure if he wants to devour the entire thing over the course of the day or savour it thoroughly by making it last several months instead.Then aga in, he is living with the cook...

Speaking of which, Billy hasn't thanked him properly yet, so now that Teddy's sitting closer, he reaches out for his hand.]

Come here, you've got to try it.

[Teddy doesn't pull his hand away, but he does laugh a little, letting Billy pull him over. Well, more like he follows Billy's pull to push himself over.]

You sure about that? I might just eat the entire slice. You know how I get with food. ... And competition.

I think we can find some kind of truce between you two. And maybe a compromise, too...

[He lets his actions speak for themselves rather than explaining- as soon as Teddy's close enough, he leans in to press his lips against the blond's, for a deep, grateful, chocolate-peanut-butter-flavoured kiss.]

[... Well. This is certainly a compromise he can get behind. Teddy lifts his hand to touch Billy's cheek, shuts his eyes and opens up to the kiss, tasting the chocolate-peanut-butter thoroughly before he pulls back, tongue peeking out to swipe along his lips.]

Mmm... guess that's one way to try it.

[Billy runs his tongue along the front of his teeth and smiles, picking off another chunk of the pie to nibble.]

Mmhm. Seriously though, you can have a slice for real if you want. I don't have to eat it all myself, and you know Tommy's going to want some when he's around.

Well... I haven't had any breakfast yet.

[So Teddy will help himself, but only to one slice. Once he cuts a slice for himself and sets it on the plate, he stands to make himself some coffee, because he really can't get through a morning without coffee to wake him up.

Before taking a sip or a bite, though, Teddy goes back to Billy, bends down to kiss the top of his head, then leans his head over to whisper in his ear.]

There's something else I have for you, you know. One more present for the late-birthday-boy.

[He's totally encouraging some terrible health decisions. It's a good thing Teddy doesn't get sick.

He's still nibbling away at his own piece when Teddy speaks up again, earning his boyfriend yet another quirked eyebrow.]

You know, if we keep trying to outdo ourselves every birthday, in a couple of years we'll be running whole birthday parades.

[...Not... that he's complaining.]

What is it?
