This Man Doesn't Celebrate His Birthday And Needs To Because He Deserves To Be Celebrated - Tumblr Posts
Head cannons bc I can - Celebrating Altair's birthday (bc it's not something he does and also something he missed out on)
Altair doesn't strike me as a man who would enjoy a huge birthday celebration, more so he either sees it as just another day (NOT ON MY WATCH) OR he would prefer to celebrate with his love. Just the two of you while he bathes in your loving attention all day long, eating.it.UP.
Letting him rest for a little while longer after she wakes up before waking him up with kisses, which brings a grin to those scar bearing lips of his, before he wraps her up in a bicep burrito and holds her close. You plan on leaving that bed? Good luck. Because unless he has work to attend to - which you made sure he DID NOT bc his birthday is NOT a day to work - you two will spending much need alone time together...
Knitting for him most likely an under shirt, which he would LOVE, seeing it as a way to keep you close to him as he goes about his day. It's infinitesimally better because he wears it underneath his robes and chain mail directly on his skin, so it's like you're touching him all.day.long and that is NOT something you will find the assassin EVER complaining about lol
Also sewing him a few shirts bc they he needs as many clean ones as possible. Asking him for measurements is a little strange but he doesn't object because it involves le touchy touchy and he ends up distracting you with something else...(you remember the measurements though! But barely)
He loves it even more because thinking about the effort you put into it makes him realize how much you love and care for him. He loves you even more if it's possible.
Giving this man a few Damask roses because he's beautiful just like this flower. (Enjoy his reaction because he WILL blush even if he turns away that handsome face will be as red as the roses. To say nothing of activities later on in the evening...expect petals on the bed...)
Making delicious food for him because he deserves good food everyday but especially on his birthday. - baking bread that's fluffy on the inside and lightly crispy on the outside, making this man some Mshabak a traditional Syrian dessert and drizzling it in honey, getting him honey dipped dates if you ask him, he'll deny it, but he LOVES them, fruits such as grapes, Jaffa oranges, and many other fruits.
Making him Anise and Thyme tea because both are tasty and with that Thyme she's trying to keep him healthy on the inside too seeing as he's already VERY healthy on the outside...
GET THIS MAN SOME CHOCOLATE DIPPED ORANGES JUST - TRUST ME
A massage with jasmine oil and a bath with you if he wants it. While she works the kinks and stiffness out of his muscles, he lays back against her trying not to make any noises until she reaches a certain spot, and he lets out a low groan. The massage completely relaxes him, and puts him in the mood to do something else... And if she takes a bath with him? Altair, plus the one he loves exposing lots of skin? Equals very steamy encounter... (Who am I kidding he's still very drawn to her even with clothes on, this man is a corner smoocher! He pulls her away into corners and gives surprise kisses)
Getting this man ANOTHER knife lol but this one is special. With a specially carved hilt, that has something sweet in Arabic, expressing her love for him. He stares at it for a few moments before pulling her to him and thanking her softly in Arabic, overcome with emotion that someone would do something so nice for him.
Herbs for him to carry if he gets injured to stop bleeding and cut pain. Goldenseal Root Powder - to soak up blood and promote clotting. Yarrow - which constricts blood vessels and reduce bleeding, able to be applied directly as a poultice. Shepherd's Purse - with similar properties of yarrow and it's able to be directly applied to wounds.
Journals for him to write about anything he wants whether it be his travels, day to day life, or knowledge he's acquiring about the Apple. (If you ever get nosey when he's not around and read his journal filled with excerpts from his day-to-day life? get ready to cry because some of the SWEET things that this man writes about his love is breath takingly romantic. Altair as a poet/man who better expresses his love through written words just seems right to me)
Lots and lots of kisses on his sweet.assassin.face because he deserves all the kisses and him just standing or sitting there and taking it. (I thoroughly believe that the man is touch starved)
Repairing and deep cleaning his robes bc they NEED IT. This sweet man gets bloody. But when you're done? They look brand new and pristine, which surprises him, but he appreciates because he could never quite get that one blood splotch out. AND they smell good too?! She better stop being so good to him and working her womanly magic on him, or he's going to have to marry her.
Giving him a little something extra underneath the stars when the day has ended...and then him keeping you up all night until the early hours of the morning.
