They'd said little about it to each other, but it was harder and harder to avoid the elephant in the room as the days passed, bringing them nearer to this morning. Easily one of the worst days of their year and their best all at once, with so much joy and so much tragedy mixed all into twenty-four long-short hours.

Undertaker woke easily, curled on his side as per usual with one arm draped over the warm lump of blankets in front of him. It took a few moments for him to come around completely and he did so in stillness until the sleep cleared and he remembered. He smiled, the expression on him automatic now, and gave the lump a squeeze, but said nothing in case Ciel was awake and hiding, or perhaps still asleep. Neither would surprise him, not today.

He waited for just a moment before silently and carefully slipping from the covers and into the next room. There were things he meant to do today, starting with a greeting to Albert as he turned on the oven to warm and set the kettle to boil water for tea. He left his hair in its braid to keep out of his way as he set about gathering ingredients from cabinets and the fridge here and there and tied an apron about his waist where the mourning chain normally hung, humming pleasantly as he did. Even if terrible memories haunted this day for them, he intended not to let it bring the mood down.

He knew Undertaker wouldn't object to his choice, and it makes him smile a little more warmly. And he definitely agreed about who best to go to for humor, Undertaker valued it enough in England.

"You won't mind spending the day watching movies with me?" He didn't want to bore Undertaker, not that he was terribly worried for that, or disrupt any plans he had.

There was a little shrug. Honestly, he still sometimes expected the man the get bored of being around him, though he should know better after all this time.

"We do it a lot. I don't want to bore you, even more my birthday." Oh, that was absolutely something they both tried. With all the memories and experiences between them, they sometimes needed the help falling asleep, he was sure.
