March 28 - Happy Birthday

[brightestlight]

She didn't know when his birthday was. He'd never told her, so when she got the email, it just sort of exploded into a flurry of needing to do things. Of needing to put something together, and that's why she did. That's why she messaged him, why she'd booked the holodeck, and why she'd done this. She was outside, waiting.

And, yeah, she was wringing her hands, until she heard him coming closer. Because she was nervous. Because, as he'd told her once, what seemed a lifetime ago, he loved birthdays.

And she, Caroline Forbes, was pretty much the world's biggest stickler for throwing good parties.

"Hey," she said, exhaling in sort of a rush, smiling brightly because she was glad to see him, but that also sort of meant she could stop working on it, she could just hope it all went off well.

"Well, if I take you to dinner, it means I get the pleasure of your company over a lovely meal," Klaus points out, smiling easily as he offers her his arm. "And if I take you to dinner some place where there is dancing, it means I get the pleasure of a few spins on the dance floor with you, too. And it is my birthday," he confirms, because it apparently is, and that absolutely means that he should get these pleasures.

"Will the computer people notice our clothes?" he asks her as they start walking, her hand in the crook of his elbow. They're not exactly dressed for the fifties.
