It was nice to be with him, but especially nice to be with him today of all days. Last year’s Valentine’s Day slipped out of her mind quickly as she looked into those green eyes. Glancing down she blushed a bit, “Well thanks, I’ll have to tell Ari you like her dress and that she did a good job with my hair. She curled it for me.” She certainly did work harder than usual at her look for today.
“You always look nice, so you didn’t have to try too hard.” she beamed, even though there was something about him in a suit that just did something to her. He was so cute in them she couldn’t help but to just stare at times. A softer smile formed as he said she was his reward, “Now you are just being sweet, but no I wouldn’t change anything either, even if a lot of the drama was my fault or my problems.” She hated that, but it really made their relationship what it was and if she wasn’t honest with herself it probably helped them be so strong through this term away.
Min was so glad he liked all his birthday gifts she had owled him. Still not liking the fact she couldn’t’ give them to him in person, but it was over and next year and the rest she could be there during it. Her grin stayed as he opened his gifts and seem to like them. “I don’t know if you know what this is.” She picked up the heart and opened it, “It’s a compass, muggles use for directions. See the N, E, W, S, for north, south, east, and west. I thought it was cute.” She shrugged maybe it was silly, but she liked it. Not being able to help a giggle when she saw him look at the coupon book a few times, “trying to see if you can use any of those now?” Even though he could get all the hand holding, kisses he wanted without the book. She smiled as he kissed her and she of course kissed back. “I’m glad you like everything.” Boys were always so hard to pick things out for, but she felt she had found some cute things to show how much she cared.
Looking at the packages she gave a small smile before opening them. “Oh Ethan they are lovely.” She picked up the bear giving it a squeeze and the pillow, “These will go nicely with my other bear I snuggle with.” They were just perfect, then when she saw the bracelets she smiled and took his arm placing the one for him on him and then placed hers on. “These are adorable, I love them. No everyone knows you’re taken.” Not that she had anything to worry about, she trusted him fully and she knew her questioning months ago was just silly now. Especially after winter break and their talk of future things.
Ethan couldn't help but to smile as he looked at Minerva. She was really so beautiful and there just seemed to be such a glow about her when she smiled. It really lit up the room. It didn't matter to him what she wore, he always thought she looked great, but it was nice that she tried to do something special for him and he appreciated the effort.
"Oh, it's one of Ariana's?" He should have figured that best girlfriends often shared clothes.
"Maybe we'll have to get you one of your own like it.. and I do really like your hair." She did a great job with it.
He grinned back at her in response to the compliment. It was good that she thought that he didn't have to try to hard. He did make the effort, but he knew girls always seemed to take longer to get ready, though he wasn't sure exactly why. Ethan looked down at their hands again, smiling, before he looked back up at her, gently shaking his head.
"Sweet or not, I do mean it.. I think our relationship is amazing and even the challenges we had helped make it that way." He shook his head again and chuckled.
"No.. those things weren't your fault. It's life. Things just happen," he added with a shrug. Some things just couldn't be helped but it was the reaction to those obstacles that really made the person or relationship.
Ethan looked up at her, then at the heart as she picked it up, not realizing that it had a compass inside. He knew what they were but hadn't realized there was one inside of it.
"Oh.. yeah, I see," he smiled, looking at it as he took it back from her.
"It's really cool." Maybe they could use it together sometime, looking at stars or something. He laughed as she noticed how hard he had been studying that coupon book.
"I was actually," he admitted, flipping through it again and stopping towards the front.
"I think I'll use this one right now," he added, tearing out one that said 'Good for One Free Hug' and handing it to her.
He smiled widely as she looked over her gifts, happy that she liked them. "I thought he looked good for snuggling." Then he held out his arm as she took it, grinning as she put on the one bracelet for him and then put her own on.
"Yeah.. not that anyone needs a reminder, they already know I'm yours," he added with a chuckle. He certainly talked about her enough for people to know.
"But I like the symbolism that it holds for each of us." He looked over at her wrist with the bracelet and smiled, before looking up into her blue eyes, his smile growing wider.
