And he refused to let his mind wander to the last time they had planned something special. No, he got the idea that this was something important to Min.. so it would be for him too.. and he was not going to let anything ruin it.. he would be focused on the present. He needed to.
Because it was a date, he wanted to bring her flowers, but he figured that wasn't a good idea right now.. so he let go of that traditional idea of a gentleman's decorum for today. Ethan wasn't sure what to expect with Minerva being a bit secretive, so he figured she had something planned and he showed up with only himself. Green eyes scanned the immediate vicinity as he walked and he spotted her in the near distance. Raising his arm to give her a wave, the boy headed in her direction.
He slowed down as he neared, his eyes taking in everything she had set out.. the blanket, the jars of bluebell flames, flowers, dinner. The sight looked so familiar and he couldn't help but let his mind wander back to their very first date. And was it in this exact location? He turned around briefly to view the lake.. yes, this seemed to be the same spot. Turning back around, he stepped closer to her, giving her a wide smile, and took a seat on the blanket next to her.
"Hi.. this looks amazing." He gently picked up her hand in his and lifted it up to his lips, kissing the back of it.
"What a great surprise.."
Minerva was sitting looking out at the lake thinking when she saw something move in the corner of her eye. She looked up to see Ethan coming towards her, she didn't know why but she felt her stomach flip with nerves. Why was she feeling nervous. They had been together over two years now. Her smile grew as she saw the look on his face, that was what she was going for. She hoped he would be surprised and like the surprise.
"Hi" She gave a simple greeting and smiled as he kissed her hand. Always such the gentlemen.
"Do you like it? I.. well I've been actually planning this it for awhile." She hoped he liked it, maybe that's why she was so nervous, she wanted everything to be so perfect. So much had happened through out the term and she just wanted this to go well. She glanced around and touched the yellow flowers she had near the bag.
"I tried to do everything exactly the same, only a few things are different. Of course no heat charm since winter is obviously not here and I still can't get myself to go near the greenhouses without a panic attack and you, so the flowers were conjured not cut."
She looked at the food and then back up at Ethan,
"I hope my memory is doing alright. This was everything, wasn't it?" She knew that it really didn't matter, but she wanted everything to be right and the same. The first date and last at school mirroring each other it was bittersweet really.
