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.
Minerva smiled and nodded,
“Yeah it’s Ari’s. I feel like I’ve borrowed a ton of her clothes this term.” she chuckled a bit, he knew friends especially girls shared clothes didn’t he? Well if he didn’t he did now. She looked into his green eyes,
“Well maybe I do need to get one if you like it that much.” Of course she would want to get something that he liked her in. Oh he liked her hair as well, well that was nice to know.
“Thanks” She was so happy that everything she tried hard to do was working out well.
She squeezed his hand as he talked and her mind couldn’t help to go to a few of those things he talked about,
“I think you’re right and I’m glad, well okay last Valentines Day I’m not glad, but most of it I’m glad it happened to some extent. It’s made us, it’s made me better to an extent.” She hoped that made sense, but it probably only did in her head. She would have probably only changed a few things, but even those horrid things made them stronger.
Minerva played with the little compass in her hands a few more moments before putting it down.
“I’m glad you like it, I wasn’t sure, but thought it was something different and you know I like keeping some of the muggle things around.” she chuckled a bit as she glanced at the coupon book. Her smile grew as he looked through it again and pulled one out.
“I think I can do that.” She smiled and got up going around to his chair and sitting down on his lap just as she done that first time they were ever in there. Giving him a tight hug and then a small kiss before going back to her own chair. She smiled for a few minutes at him before handing the coupon back.
“Keep it that was on the house.” Giving him a small wink, she looked back at her bracelet.
She moved her wrist,
“It’s like the necklace I got you. You will always hold that key.” Her eyes went back up to meet his. Smiling she glanced around at the crowd.
“Did you want to get something to drink or anything?” Well of course he did, but she figured she’d ask anyway.
“Everything is great E, this is nice.” Any time she could be with him was great. She would take whatever she could get. She snuggled the teddy bear in her lap. He was going to be perfect for snuggling.
As she kept the bear in her lap she looked back up,
“So anything exciting going on at Uni right now?” Not much was really going on at school other than quidditch and the normal classes. So she hoped life outside of the castle walls had something interesting to listen too.
