Happy Birthday (Jack)
Kalypso had a difficult time finding gifts for Jack for his birthday. She got him artist supplies of course, but outside of those she couldn't decide on what to get him. Jack never asked for much and never really pointed out things that he liked.

Instead of material items outside of the art supplies, Kal decided on spending the day with him and making it special. Though she was running out of places to take him. They had already been to the Blue Area of the Moon and Titan. It was getting difficult to find special places. Her mother had suggested a place and Kal knew it would be perfect.

She packed a picnic basket of Jack's favorite foods and basket in hand she went looking for him.

	That got a chuckle. "I'll be a very enthusiastic 'doing', too," he assured her. "The Avengers is a good fit for you. You have a lot to offer them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You do too," she told him. "We both do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He smiled into her hair and squeezed her lightly. "I got an internship offer yesterday. Grunt at a design firm here in New York. They like to do the government contract and high income client projects but it's something to consider." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's wonderful! Are you going to take it?" Kal sat up a bit. She didn't have to get a job or anything resembling a job, but she was interested in Jack's professional life. They couldn't be Avengers forever. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think I am. It's not my ideal job, but Dad's always telling me I can't expect that out of the gate. Got start somewhere and build a reputation for the kind of things I want to do." He was very aware that he couldn't be an Avenger forever or even into his middle age. His body wouldn't be able to take it, and if pressed he'd say it wasn't for him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal smiled. "I think it would be very good for you. You love doing it and you're really good at it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So you're not going to drop me for a real hero when I stop being an Avenger?" he asked, teasing her a little. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal smiled and kissed him. "Never. I'm yours for as long as you'll have me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's an awfully long time because I'm never letting you go. Especially after I finish your next gift." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Forever wouldn't be long enough," she told him. "What gift?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2012-09-09 10:32 pm UTC (link)
	"The next gift I give you." He hugged her close. It felt good to be here with her, watching the lights and pretending the rest of the world didn't exist. Even simple teasing made him happy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Which means it won't be until November when it's my birthday." Kal frowned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2012-09-09 11:32 pm UTC (link)
	"Who said gifts were for birthdays?" he asked innocently. "You worry too much about birthdays." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2012-09-09 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Because gifts are for birthdays," she said. "I do not worry about birthdays. I'll do that in forty years or so." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2012-09-11 04:26 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay, you worry too much about /my/ birthdays." He squeezed her again. "Gifts are for expressing love and affection. Flowers. Chocolate. Jewelry. A personally designed house to fit the needs of a very special person. You'll just have to grin and bear it, sweetheart." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal smiled and kissed him. "You're absolutely amazing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He smiled back. "That would be you, Ms. Kalypso. You put with me whipping out my sketch pad every chance I get. And when I'm late because I was staring at an old building too long." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You put up with my mother. That alone should qualify you for saint hood." (Reply to this)(Parent)
