[ billy's lazily combing his fingers through his hair with one hand and brushing his teeth with the other when his phone chimes at him from the bathroom counter. it's late, and though he's a chronic texter, there aren't very many people he texts often enough to warrant being messaged this close to midnight. he's not bothered, though, and reaches to pick up his phone, unlocking the screen with a swipe of his thumb while he works at his back molars.
it's stiles - probably one of the only people he'd expect to still be up this late (does he ever sleep). billy finds himself smiling a little around his toothbrush without even having read the content of the message yet. it's just a simple 'hey', but the typing bubble bumps up underneath it, so billy doesn't interrupt, continuing to brush his teeth, rinse, swish some mouthwash around as he waits.
the second message comes through, makes his phone vibrate in his hand. billy turns off the bathroom light and wanders down the stairs, hand on the railing. he enjoyed seeing stiles too - his presence actually turned out to be a huge relief after a monumental fuck-up of an embarrassing situation, and he likes hanging out with stiles in general, even with a grumpy old man around, making things mildly uncomfortable.
billy double-checks that the front door is locked and then heads back upstairs, stiles' remaining texts coming through just as he's hiking a knee up onto his bed and twisting so he can fall back with a bounce. he reads through them, finding himself smiling to himself again, and quickly starts to reply. if billy doesn't reply within two minutes of getting a text, he's either sleeping, dying, or dead. ]
hey! i still technically got it right, though :) i know you said you weren't interested in like a huge celebration or a party or anything which is totally cool, you know, it's your day but i just figured it should be acknowledged in some way. if you don't mark the occasion, did it even really happen? joke's on you though, because now next time you only get one ;) anyway, i'm really glad you enjoyed them. and i'm glad we got to hang out! sorry if it was kind of... weird.

i know you said you weren't interested in like a huge celebration or a party or anything which is totally cool, you know, it's your day
but i just figured it should be acknowledged in some way.
