“Where are you off to, Goliath?” asked Theo, pouring himself some coffee while the gargoyles helped themselves to some breakfast. Despite the hour Theo had stopped thinking of it as dinner a while ago.

“Yeah, don’t you want some food?” asked Broadway, shoveling a huge cut of pancakes into his mouth. “It’s delicious!”

“No, thank you,” said Goliath, the large purple gargoyle picking up a brightly wrapped package. “Tonight is Elisa’s birthday. I wouldn’t want to be late.”

The clan’s leader swept out of the kitchen as the other gargoyles ate. Angela laughed and wiped a bit of syrup from her mate’s chin, licking it off her fingers.

“Slow down! No one’s going to take it away from you.”

“Can you even taste it when you eat that fast?” asked Staghart. The white-furrred gargoyle ate with a quiet dignity that seemed so very British to Theo, fresh berries mixed over his pancakes. Not that it kept the juice from staining his lips.

“You bet I can!” boomed Broadway. “Why do you think I’m eating so fast? I can’t wait to get some more!”

“That’s because we’ve got the best chef in the city,” said Brooklyn, smiling at Theo while the human blushed and sipped his coffee.

He’d gotten plenty of praise for his cooking since coming to work for Xanatos, but hearing his boyfrie – fiancé, complimenting his food still made Theo feel all warm inside.

“What’s the point of birthday’s anyway?” asked Broadway.

“Gargoyles don’t have birthdays?” asked Theo.

“Of course we do,” said Lexington. “But we never celebrated them or anything. We know who was born before who, and to track our age, but that was about it. Angela? What about on Avalon?”

The purple gargoyle shook her head. “No, at least not for any one of us. The Princess and the Guardian celebrated the day they arrived on the island with us as eggs, but that was the closest we came.”

“I just realized something,” she added. “When is your birthday, Theo?”

Theo suddenly seemed very interested in his pan, tending to the bacon sizzling away with way more attention than was necessary.

“Theo, did you hear me?” asked Angela when he didn’t answer.

“Oh,uh…It’s… October 12,” he mumbled.

“But that’s next week!” exclaimed Brooklyn.

“Why didn’t you tell us before?” asked Broadway.

“And why didn’t you already know when his birthday is?” added Lexington, giving Brooklyn a look.

“W-Well… I, uh…”

“It’s not Brooklyn’s fault,” said Theo, sliding more bacon onto Broadway’s plate before taking some for himself. “I never told him.”

“Why not?” asked Angela.

Theo chewed on the bacon for a moment, enjoying the sweet saltiness while he thought about how to answer.

“I don’t really have many good memories of my birthday,” he said. “My family never really bothered celebrating it after my abuela died when I was a kid, and since they threw me onto the street I didn’t have anyone to celebrate with anyway, so it just didn’t seem important.”

“Gargoyles may not celebrate birthdays as you humans do but even I know that isn’t right,” said Staghart. “Family should be celebrated.”

“Yeah, well, I guess my folks never got that memo,” said Theo. “Anyway, it’s not a big deal.”

“So what kinds of things do humans do for a birthday?” asked Broadway.

Theo had hoped they might be able to change the topic, but at least explaining things might get the focus away from himself.

“Depends on the family, I guess,” said Theo. “Most people have their own special traditions, but the basics are usually the same - presents, a cake, a party with friends. Really just showing whoever’s birthday it is that they have people who are happy to have them around.”

“And your family really didn’t do that for you?” asked Angela sadly.

Theo shifted uncomfortably. “If it’s all the same, I’d really rather not talk about–”

He was cut off when the nearby phone buzzed and he hurried to answer it.

“Good evening, Mr Benett. Yes, I understand. I’ll have that down to Mr Xanatos right away.” He hung up the phone. “Sorry, everyone, duty calls! If you're still hungry please help yourself to whatever you’d like, and I’ll see you a bit later.”

Theo gave Brooklyn a quick parting kiss on the cheek then hurried off to prepare something for his employer, leaving the gargoyles alone in the kitchen that had been reserved for their use.

“Why do you think he didn’t want to talk about his birthday?” asked Broadway, piling more pancakes onto his plate and reaching for the syrup.

“Theo didn’t have a good experience coming out to his family,” said Brooklyn. “Maybe it had something to do with that?”

“Perhaps,” said Staghart. “But didn’t he say they cut ties with him after that? I get the impression he wasn’t celebrated even before then, given his reaction.”

“I still can’t believe a family could turn their backs on one of their own just because of who they love,” said Angela sadly. “That’s not what it means to be family, to be clan.”

Staghart gently rested one wing around Lexington, looking down at his mate. “Human ways aren’t gargoyle ways, even when they should be.”

“How did Una and Leo react when you told them you and Lex were together?” asked Brooklyn.

Staghart blushed and quickly took a bite of his food to avoid answering, so Lexington jumped in, grinning.

“They’d placed bets on how long it would take before we ended up together,” laughed Lexington.

“I-I was not that obvious!” Staghart protested.

“Yes, you were,” said Brooklyn and Broadway together.

“And if you weren’t, I definitely was,” said Lexington, reaching up to pull Staghart close and kiss him. “I knew the night we met.”

The gargoyles continued to eat for a few minutes, before Brooklyn set his fork down.

“I want to do something for him,” he said. “For his birthday.”

“Uh, Brooklyn?” said Lexington. “We don’t know anything about celebrating birthdays.”

“Maybe Eliza could tell us what to do,” suggested Broadway. “Or Matt.”

“Theo’s family didn’t appreciate him. But I do,” said Brooklyn.

“We all do,” said Angela.

Brooklyn continued, “And he’s doing things for the clan all the time! We should show him how important he is to us.”

“Yeah!” said Broadway. “Um… how?”

“I… don’t know,” Brooklyn admitted. “But we’ll figure something out.”

*************

As he climbed the stairs to the tower where the gargoyles slept during the day, Theo smiled to himself. It had been very generous of Mr Xanatos to give Theo his birthday off, and the day after as well. It had struck Theo as a little odd that he had done so, but he’d decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth. Besides, having the time off meant he could spend it with Brooklyn, as long as he didn’t have to go on patrol. Theo might not have wanted to talk about his birthday, and hadn’t made any plans to celebrate it, but it would still be nice to spend it with his fiance.

Theo stepped out onto the tower just as the sun dipped below the horizon. Sharp cracks filled the air as the gargoyle’s stone skin broke away, roars echoing into the night as the clan awoke. Brooklyn hopped down from his perch, where Theo was waiting with open arms.

“Evening, love,” Brooklyn said quietly, hugging Theo and pulling him into a kiss, which the human happily returned.

“Did you have a good day’s rest?” asked Theo.

“You bet,” grinned Brooklyn, flexing an arm and showing off his bicep. “Stone sleep does the body good.”

Theo laughed. “I’ll take your word for it.”

The other’s leapt off the tower and glided towards the entrance closest to the kitchens. From where he stood, Theo completely missed Brooklyn’s rookery brothers hurrying away from the others when they went inside. Instead, Theo laughed as Brooklyn swept him up in his arms and jumped from the tower, almost lazily drifting down to the courtyard and walking inside, enjoying having a few moments alone together.

“Happy Birthday, Theo,” said Brooklyn, kissing him on the cheek and taking his hand.

“Thank you, Brooklyn,” said Theo. “Mr Xanatos gave me the night off, so if you like, we can spend the whole night together. I don’t have a shift tomorrow either, so I can stay up with you until sunrise.”

Brooklyn beamed. “That sounds wonderful. I thought I was supposed to be the one giving a birthday gift.”

Theo gave the gargoyle a playful shove. “Come on, I should get inside before Broadway eats everything in the pantry.”

Brooklyn followed his lover inside, and while Theo was busying himself with making breakfast for the gargoyles, he spotted Lexington coming back into the room. The small gargoyle gave his rookery brother a nod and a thumbs up before going to take a seat next to Staghart. After a lively breakfast, most of the other gargoyles left to go on patrol; Hudson retreated to his room for his nightly television binge. The trio, however, stayed behind, waiting until everyone else was gone before approaching Theo.

“Can you come with us, Theo?” said Lexington.

“We’ve got a surprise for you,” added Broadway.

Theo looked at them curiously. “What are you three up to?”

The gargoyles looked at each other and grinned.

“You’ll just have to come with us and find out,” said Brooklyn, taking Theo’s hand. “Trust me, you’re gonna love it.”

The gargoyles led Theo through the castle, and the human was surprised when they ended up at his quarters. Heading inside, Brooklyn closed the door while Broadway and Lexington hurried off to Theo’s kitchen.

“What’s going on?” asked Theo. “Why are you three acting so weird?”

Brooklyn pulled Theo towards him, his hand brushing the human’s cheek.

“I know you said you didn’t want to celebrate your birthday, but we did,” said the gargoyle.

“Brooklyn–” Theo stopped when the gargoyle’s finger pressed against his lips.

“Birthdays are supposed to be about celebrating someone important to you,” said Brooklyn. “About showing them how much they matter to you. And nobody matters to me as much as you do.”

Theo couldn’t speak. So he didn’t try to force the words. Instead, he pulled Brooklyn close, kissing the gargoyle deeply and holding him tight. They broke their embrace when Broadway and Lexington reappeared, wheeling in a small cart with a cake resting on top.

“Happy birthday!” the exclaimed, proudly presenting the cake to Theo.

It was obvious the gargoyles had made the cake themselves. It was rather lopsided, and the chocolate frosting was spread unevenly. Happy Birthday Theo was scrawled across the top in barely legible icing, and the candles were getting wax on the cake. But to Theo it was the most beautiful cake in the world, because the gargoyles - who clearly had no idea what they were doing in a kitchen - had taken the time to make it for him just to show the human how much they cared. And that made it more precious than anything from the fanciest bakeries in the heart of Paris.

Theo stepped forward and blew out the candles, picking up the cake knife resting on the side of the cart.

“Thank you all, so much,” he said, wiping his eyes. He raised the knife. “Now who wants some cake?”

Theo cut several slices out of the cake, passing some to each of the gargoyles and taking one for himself. It was a simple yellow cake with chocolate frosting, his favorite despite its simplicity. Or maybe that was why he liked it so much. It was the kind of cake you could find at any random kid’s birthday party. Exactly the kind of thing he’d always wanted but never really got to enjoy.

Taking some cake on his fork, Theo took a bite, along with the gargoyles. Unfortunately, that was all he needed to know that the cake tasted even worse than it looked, no matter how much he wanted to enjoy it after all their hard work in making it for him. Broadway, as ever, barely even noticed, gulping his slice down and going for more, while Brooklyn and Lexington set theirs aside, looking sheepishly at Theo.

“I’m sorry, Theo,” said Brooklyn. “I thought we did everything right.”

“Maybe we didn’t cook it long enough?” said Lexington. “Or didn’t use enough sugar?”

“It’s okay, guys,” said Theo, setting his piece down. “It’s the thought that counts.” He turned to Brooklyn. “And this was very, very sweet.”

Broadway pointed to the cake. “Does that mean you guys don’t want any more?”

Theo laughed. “All yours big guy.”

“I’m sorry the cake didn’t come out right,” said Brooklyn, rubbing the back of his neck. “Guess we need more practice.”

“It’s the thought that counts,” said Theo.

“Still, we wanted to show you how much we appreciate you,” said Brooklyn. “And since the cake was a bust, guess we’ll just have to jump ahead to your present.”

“Present?”

“Uh-huh,” said Brooklyn, grabbing Theo and pulling him into a kiss again, pouring all his passion for his human lover into it.

Theo moaned as Brooklyn’s strong hands worked over his back and under his shirt, the gargoyle lightly teasing him with his claws before pulling Theo’s shirt off. Before he could ask what his fiance was planning, Brooklyn was kissing him again, the pair moaning hungrily as Brooklyn’s hands slid down and began to work at Theo’s pants. It took only a moment before Theo felt his pants fall, and he was standing naked in the middle of the room.

Brooklyn broke the kiss and quickly removed his loincloth as Broadway and Lexington returned from taking the cake back to the kitchen, both gargoyles also missing their loincloths, their erections bouncing as they walked closer.

“I’m grateful for your cooking,” said Broadway. “You go out of your way to make us tasty food every day.”

“I’m grateful for how much you’ve helped me get the tech I need while we’re asleep,” said Lexington. “And we both appreciate how happy you’ve made Brooklyn.”

“And I’m grateful,” said Brooklyn, taking Theo’s face in his hands, looking him in the eye, “for having such a wonderful, caring man in my life. I can’t think of anyone I’d rather have as a mate.”

Theo started to respond, but his words were lost to a moan as Lexington dropped to his knees and pulled the human’s cock into his mouth. Lexington held tight to Theo’s hips as he started bobbing and sucking over the human’s dick. Brooklyn kissed his way down Theo’s neck and back, spreading the human’s cheeks and pressing his snout forward, his tongue working over and into Theo’s rear. Through half-lidded eyes, Theo could see Broadway doing the same to Lexington, pushing his thick tongue into the small yellow gargoyle. Lexington must have been enjoying it, because the moans traveling up Theo’s cock were making his knees shake.

But as hard as he was sucking on Theo, his mouth apparently wasn’t where Lexington wanted his load. Slowly sliding the human’s cock out of his mouth, he turned around and got on all fours, presenting his ass to Theo. He jumped when he felt Brooklyn reach around and grab his cock, guiding him into position against Lexington’s pucker. Theo could feel Brooklyn’s erection against his ass, the red gargoyle shifting his hips to line himself up. The three of them moaned together as Brooklyn slowly pushed into Theo, driving the human’s cock into Lexington, the small gargoyle whimpering in pleasure as he was filled.

Wrapping his arms around Theo, Brooklyn started moving, happily humping away at the human’s ass, moaning against the base of his lover’s neck. Lexington was rather vocal himself, especially when Broadway rolled over onto his back and slid his head underneath his rookery brother, the wet sounds of sucking filling the room as he took Lexington’s penis into his mouth. Theo could see the green gargoyle’s big cock, standing hard between his legs and momentarily ignored as he gave Lexington an enthusiastic blowjob. He must have been doing a hell of a job, because it took no time at all for the combined sensation of his mouth and Theo’s cock to have him shaking in pleasure, squeezing down tight on Theo’s prick.

“You feel so good,” growled Brooklyn, nibbling on Theo’s earlobe. The sound of his voice made the human shiver in erotic overload. “Hope you don’t mind sharing. Lex and Broadway wanted to have some fun with you. And, not gonna lie, I like watching you fuck my brothers.”

A sharp thrust from Brooklyn made Theo see stars, his head falling back to rest against Brooklyn’s shoulder as the gargoyle rammed his prostate over and over. Theo could feel Brooklyn leaking inside him; almost as much as he was pumping precum into the yellow gargoyle on his knees in front of him. Every time Brooklyn buried himself inside Theo, the human’s hips slapped against Lexington’s ass, pushing him even further into Broadway’s mouth, their balls slapping together again and again.

Lexington was the first to cum. The hot mouth around his cock and the size difference with Theo had him stretched wide, the combined sensations pushing him over the edge. The young gargoyle cried out as he fed Broadway his load, emptying his balls down the green gargoyle’s throat with each wet gulp. His ass turned into a vice, squeezing Theo good and hard. Theo’s eyes rolled back into his head as he came, with Brooklyn close behind him. The gargoyle’s roar drowned out Theo’s moans as he hammered away at his lover’s ass.

When Brooklyn pulled out, he fired a couple shots over Theo’s ass before grabbing his hips and sliding him out of Lexington, chuckling as the smaller gargoyle collapsed onto the floor, head down, ass up and leaking. Leaving Lexington to enjoy his afterglow, Brooklyn spun Theo around before laying back and pulling his knees up to his chest, exposing his rear to the human’s hungry gaze.

“Fuck me, Theo.”

Theo didn’t need telling twice. He happily got down on his knees and lined himself up, pushing down into Brooklyn, watching the gargoyle’s cock jump as his ass was stretched open by his lover’s penis. But before Theo could really get going, he felt hands on his ass just before Broadway thrust into him, A loud moan coming from Theo as he was filled once again, his body pressed tightly between the two rookery brothers. Brooklyn pulled him into a kiss while Broadway sucked at the back of his neck, humping the human’s ass and pussing him in and out of Brooklyn’s rear. Out of the corner of his eye, Theo saw Lexington roll over and prop himself up, jerking off slowly while he watched his brothers have their fun. Unable to resist, Theo slipped a hand between them, grabbing Brooklyn’s cock and pumping it in time with his thrusting. He motioned Lexington over as well, reaching out and grabbing his yellow cock as soon as he was close enough, jerking him in time with Brooklyn.

Theo was moaning loud as he rocked back and forth between the two gargoyles. Every time he thrust forward he was rewarded with a tight squeeze from Brooklyn, and whenever he pushed back Broadway’s thick green dick rammed into his prostate, stretching him nice and deep. And then there was the feeling of his lover’s cock pulsing in his hand, hot precum spilling over his fingers and letting him move faster. It was all just too nice.

Pulling Brooklyn into a kiss, Theo moaned right along with the red gargoyle as they came, his load filling Brooklyn while the gargoyle made a mess of both their bellies. When he broke the kiss, his head falling back against the floor, Theo nibbled on Brooklyn’s neck hungrily, grinding against his rear as he came more and more. His body tightening down around Broadway, the green male cried out, his eyes flashing white as he emptied a heavy load in Theo’s ass, the overflow running down their thighs and adding to the mess, pooling on the floor below them.

Broadway eventually pulled out, but Theo stayed right where he was, pressed tight against Brooklyn and buried inside him, the gargoyle’s legs curling around his waist and holding him close while they kissed. When Theo finally pulled out, he rolled over onto his back, gasping for breath, his cum-covered erection slapping wetly against his belly. His body was still eager for more, but after such intense orgasms he was going to need a bit of a break before he could continue. Which the gargoyles obviously wanted, since all three of them were still rock hard and ready.

“Just… let me… catch my breath,” panted Theo. “Then we can… keep going.” He eyed Lexington’s cock. “Especially since you haven’t gotten to fuck yet.”

Lexington laughed, crawling over to join Brooklyn and Broadway on all fours around Theo, the gargoyles eyeing his cum-smeared body hungrily.

“We’ve got plenty of time for that,” said Lexington.

“Don’t forget, I want you to fuck me too,” said Broadway, smiling at the human.

“But right now, you just lay back and relax,” said Brooklyn, licking his lips. “And let us get that gorgeous body of yours cleaned up.”

Brooklyn and Lexington leaned in and started running their tongues over Theo’s chest and belly, licking the cum off of him, making sure to kiss and suck on his skin, especially his nipples and the base of his neck. Meanwhile, Broadway licked his thighs clean before moving up to clean his dick and take his balls into his mouth, playfully sucking at them to keep Theo hard. Three pairs of hands rubbed and stroked him, worshiping Theo’s body just as much as their tongues did. The human could do little but moan and gasp each time they hit a sensitive spot, knowing that the pleasure was just getting started.

The night was young, and for the first time in a long time, Theo was actually looking forward to celebrating his birthday.
