Henrik grinned, turning back to his computer. "Setting up last minute things for my son's birthday on Saturday. It has taken so long to get this renovation, ugh," he groaned, turning into the kiss Marvin provided.

"Reservation, babe." Henrik acknowledged the correction happily. "And is that so soon already? Darn, I don't even have a gift yet..."

"Don't you worry about that," Henrik said, smiling at his boyfriend's worried face. "I have something I know he will like, from the both of us."

"All right, then. If you don't mind I'm going to sit in here for a bit." Henrik nodded, watching as Marvin grabbed the top book and took it to one of the more cosy seats in the room, beginning to read, then got back to his own work, catching Marvin's eye every so often until they left together to make supper.

A couple of days later had them at the day before the party, and Marvin once again walked in with his arms full, but he looked to be in a panic, so bad Henrik was worried. "Marv, is everything all right?"

Marvin didn't seem to hear him, putting his things down and rushing around the room to find something. "It's got to be around here somewhere!"

"Marvin!" Henrik called, and it finally got his boyfriend's attention. He looked over with a blush. "You did not realise I was here, did you?"

"No, sorry, did I interrupt something?"

"Not at all, I am just curious as to what is going on? You are never like this."

Marvin shook his head. "It's nothing."

"It isn't nothing, Marvin. Do you need help finding something? If you're looking in here at something other than your books, maybe I have it on my side." The room was split into two halves that had a sort of mutual interest section where their magic and science stuff collided. Marvin's side was full of books and other magic objects, while Henrik's had his own collection of books, as well as a desk and computer where he did paperwork. The mutual interest section was things both could use at any time, but they both tended to forget to put things back.

Marvin took a breath. "The prism collection. I need one of them for a little project I'm working on."

Henrik nodded, finding the box immediately under his desk where he'd left it, then opening it to rifle through. "How big do you think?"

"Oh, definitely the biggest one in there." Marvin shifted his weight as he waited impatiently, but held his hand out as Henrik gave him the baseball-sized crystal. His eyes shined. "Fantastic, thank you! Would you mind putting the box back? I've really got to go."

"You go ahead. Try not to start a fire or anything," he warned playfully. Marvin nodded though taking it seriously and left.

The next day and they were in the little party room with Henrik's kids and a couple of the birthday boy's friends. They were running around all over the place while the adults finished setting up the next activity, but Henrik was banned from helping by his own boyfriend, saying it was a surprise for him also. He complied, but not without thinking of some choice words to tell him later.

Then they were sitting the kids down in front of a clothed table with the crystal in the centre, and Marvin was nowhere to be seen until the lights suddenly shut off, and the only light was coming from beneath the table and up through the prism, sending rainbows bouncing off of every surface they could touch.

The kids oohed and awwed, jumping to catch the rainbows, including Henrik's sons. As soon as he was the only one left sitting on the floor, he scooted closer to the table and lifted the cloth to peek under, smiling at the picture before him of Marvin crouched under the tall table, his hands projecting light into a hole under the prism. He looked over and smiled back.

"Hey, there," he laughed. "Enjoying the show?"

"Very much. This was wonderful, though you could have just used a flashlight, much more efficient."

"This is more special. I'm glad you like it, though."
