Happy Birthday to You!
Seamus usually wasn't a curious person, not by nature. Nor was he usually one to poke through his dorm mates things. But when he finds a chest lying there, innocently on Dean's bed, and unlocked as well, what else does he do but look through it?
It all started on a peaceful, normal Saturday morning. Seamus was normally on time, he left the job of being late to Ron, but it was only the weekends that he was one of the last up and ready to go. Dean, on the other hand, had always been and always will be an early riser. He was gone usually before he woke up on normal weekends like today.
Seamus was snuggled into his pillow and blankets, his hands grasped the blankets tightly. He was only lightly dozing but not for long as the Weasley twins were making a racket down in the common room.
'It's too early to be loud' he thought, squeezing his eyes shut tightly, but it was no use, he was now too awake to go back to sleep.
"Stupid twins," he muttered as he got out of bed. He rubbed his eyes for a while, and looked at who was in the dorm and who wasn't. Neville, Harry and Dean were not in their beds, meaning that they had probably gone to breakfast. That left Ron and him.
He lightly punched Ron on the shoulder, but he just snorted and rolled over. Seamus rolled his eyes as he was too lazy to properly awaken him (spraying water over him always worked, the whole dorm did it to Ron ever since they had learnt Aguamenti, but Seamus guessed no one could be bothered this morning).
Seamus walked over to Dean's bed and noticed the chest. It was that one that his dad had said were in pirate movies. The only difference was that there was no lock, therefore, no key.
Seamus smirked, 'I guess Dean trusts us all, otherwise he wouldn't leave this out in the open.'
He opened up the chest and found lots of parchment. Seamus picked up one and began to read it:
I know a place,
Where the sky meets the water.
It is beautiful!
Seamus smirked at all the parchment in the chest. It would be good blackmail material, but on the other hand, this was his best friend and boyfriend he was talking about, and he might never trust him with anything again. That was something he did not want at all.
Still, looking at all poems and haikus, Seamus discovered that Dean had an obsession with his writing. So, as a present for him, Seamus would start writing haikus and poems and sending them to Dean. It would be anonymously, of course.
A Few Weeks later…
Seamus was feeling very pleased with himself. He had been sending many haikus and poems to Dean, on and off. He never signed his name on the parchments though; he didn't want Dean to know that it was him.
Some of his pieces were quite good, Seamus thought, though others were just mocking Dean and his obsession in a nice way.
Just the thought of Dean reminded him of his birthday, the day he would stop writing him poems and haikus (they were only for his birthday, after all.). Seamus couldn't deny that he was kind of sad that he wouldn't write anymore funny poems and silly haikus, they were hilarious to read and write.
Dean's last one had to be special, the very best of them all. Seamus wasn't sure she could write it to the best of his ability, but he knew that Dean adorded the end result.
The next day, Dean's birthday, Seamus was slightly nervous, but he acted normally. He hoped that they would believe his acting and focus on the owl he had used to send the poem, which had just landed in front of Dean, grabbed some bacon, then took flight again.
Dean grinned as he read through the poem, Seamus could see that much. When his eyes looked up, he grinned and passed around his birthday note.
Seamus couldn't stop the grin that he knew had appeared on his face, but if anyone asked, he would say that he liked the poem.
Your warm brown eyes light up happily
Your big grin is almost guaranteeing that you can be quite silly
The sharp features don't ever crease
And your unwavering loyalty and humor makes wonders never cease
Your magical and artistic abilities are always on display
So I'd like to wish you, Dean, a very happy birthday!
Many hours later...
It had been a very busy day and Seamus was very happy. It had been an interesting day and he look forward to sleeping.
Currently, he was the only one in his dorm. Most people were still out at Hogsmeade, including his dorm-mates. So Seamus took out a book to read and waited for the rest to come back.
He was quite shocked when Dean came up to the dorm. He was even more shocked when he sat down on his bed, and more so when Dean gave him a small kiss on the forehead. Dean whispered, "Thank you." And walked back to his bed.
"Happy Birthday, Dean" Seamus whispered, almost silently, but he knew Dean heard because he saw the smile spread across his face.
"It was the best one ever!" Dean said to Seamus. And Seamus, feeling happy as could be, smiled with him.
End AN: First ever slash fic, whoo! I really like writing these two (Slash OTP?) and they are so adorable. This is meant to be during fifth year, just after Umbridge leaves. Also, it was never specified when Dean's birthday was, only that he was born sometime in 1980, which didn't help much, so I made it sometime after Umbridge has left. Thanks for reading.
