Curt’s Birthday Surprise
by Eska
Wednesday nights are oor wee thing. Same pals, same time, same room. Curt never questions it, why would he? It’s routine. But this week? Och, we fair pulled the rug (or the waves) oot frae under him.
While he thought he was wanderin intae the usual hangoot, I’d been busy schemin wi the brilliant MellowDy. She’d conjured up this undersea wonderland, shimmery blues, bubbles floatin aboot, a sunken ship sittin proud, creatures dartin here an there… and aye, an octopus. Couldnae resist that one, could we? A cheeky wink at Curt’s well-kent taste for the tentacled.
So in he strolls, nae clue. Same faces, so of course he buys it, just another Wednesday. Except, nae. What he didnae see comin was Mel firin up her set, sneakin in birthday messages, requests fae friends, and then… the showstopper. Nite, crashin the stage wi a daft skit an a serenade, confessin his “secret love” for Curt. The whole room was howlin, the poor lad went redder than a lobster, an I’m pretty sure even the octopus wis clappin.
But Mel wisnae done yet. Hidden in the room wis a present fae the talented Lydiana, a bonnie speed boat, no less. The catch? Curt had tae solve a puzzle tae find it. Watching him pick away at it wis comedy in itself, but the look on his face when he finally cracked it? Priceless.
Once the chaos settled, skits, puzzles, surprises, the lot, my playlist slid in. Songs picked just for him, all streamed by Mel so he wouldnae catch on through our shared server. A wee bit sneaky, but hey, that’s love for ye.
The nicht carried on in laughter, tunes, and the best kind o company. Every bubble in that wonderful underwater room wis filled wi love.

He thought he wis loggin in for “just another Wednesday.” Instead, he got an ocean-sized surprise — full of pals, mischief, and far mair tentacles than he bargained for.
