SPOILER!!: List of scenes
Scene 1:
It’s the year 2092 and Esme’s birthday. Oliver arranged to meet her in Hogsmeade since he wanted to see her and give her a birthday present. Later, the two will meet Esme’s sister, Juno and Juno’s boyfriend, Leon. Scene 2: It is the summer holidays, and Esme and Juno have been joined by their boyfriends while staying at their estate in Paris. As part of their time together, there is a lot of sightseeing. On one of these sightseeing trips, Esme has taken her boyfriend to see the Eiffel Tower. Scene 3: A meeting Esme set up so that Olly could meet a fellow Goth, Kitty Valentine. It takes place at the Leaky Cauldron (Main Floor Seating) during the summer of 2092. Scene 4: Valentine's Day meeting in Hogsmeade (2093) Scene 5: Painting in the Park (Summer 2093) Scene 6: Surprise Dinner Date Scene 7: Bun in the oven! Scene 8: Deciding on the right house Scene 9: Oliver and Esme move into their new cottage. Scene 10: Awake with crying baby Emmett.
Esme was in a really good mood as she walked along the street of Hogsmeade. Not only was it a nice day for being the middle of winter, but it was also her birthday. Not just any birthday at that, but her 17th birthday; as of today she was of age and could perform magic outside of Hogwarts. Juno would be in the same boat tomorrow.
With a big smile on her face, she used her wand to make bubbles form, twirling around and around while enjoying them. This was fuuuuuun.
Olly admittedly was rather eager to see Esme. It had been such a long while since he had. Well, if you counted two months to be a while, then it was understandable why he was so eager. He had made plans with her, since they now kept in contact with each other while he was off at WADA, to meet today which happened to be her birthday.
It was cold out but he wasn't that bothered. Olly knew they would be able to get a butterbeer at the Three Broomstick sometime soon. He had just gotten to the Street but he spotted her almost immediately. The guy made his way towards his crush. "Hi, Esme. Happy birthday,'' he said softly.

Hearing her name, Esme knew immediately who it was! Olly! Now she was grinning for an entirely different reason as she stopped spinning and looked right at him. "Hey! Thank you. I was hoping that you would get here soon." Now they could spend some time together. He could also meet Juno properly. This was important since she had been talking about him a lot since they had met up at Christmas.
Yep, she was definitely crushing on him. How could she not when he was so amazing?
SPOILER!!: Esmeee! <3

That smile told him Esme was happy to see him but there was no way she was happier than he was. Oh yeah? She was? “I couldn’t keep the birthday girl waiting.’’ Olly thought she looked extra beautiful today. “I’ve got something for you. Could you hold out your wrist?’’ He had put a lot of thought into his present for her and had taken his time to pick it out.
“Have you got anything special planned today?’’ Olly was secretly hoping that he would be able to spend at least most of the day with her but then again, she had her twin and her own friends too. He waited until Esme held out her hand then slipped the bracelet onto it. “Hope you like it,’’ he added with a shy smile.

Esme could not stop smiling now that Olly was here, and there was no way that she was complaining about it. He was the bright spot on an already amazing day and hopefully they could spend a lot of time together since he would be going back to WADA soon. Letters were nice, but hanging out was even better!
He had a present for her?? Esme was deeply touched as she held her wrist out for him. She was excited to see what it was! "Well, I'm meeting my sister and her maybe but not quite boyfriend at the Three Broomsticks and I was hoping that you would join us?" It would make her really happy if he did. She had set it up so that he would meet her sister properly.
Looking down, she gasped. It was a unicorn charm bracelet. "Thank you so much, Olly. I love it. It's perfect! You remembered that unicorns are my favourite." Now she was about to melt into a puddle and it was all his fault!

It was as Olly suspected. Esme did have plans with her sister but he didn’t mind. It did, however, made him feel great when she invited him to hang out with them. “As long as I’m not intruding, I’d like that.’’ It would be great to see Juno again and to see this guy that could potentially be her boyfriend. “I haven’t seen Juno since I left Hogwarts. It’ll be good to catch up with her.’’ Though he’d only be there to spend time with Esme.
Esme’s reaction made him grin like an idiot. The shyness had vanished in an instant. “Of course I remembered. I remember everything about you.’’ Damn. He had really said that out aloud. Olly quickly tried to bring the topic back to the bracelet. “You’re not allowed to remove it,’’ he told her half seriously, half jokingly.

Why on earth would Olly think he could ever intrude? "Oh, no! I want you to come." Esme would be sad if he didn't, but she would have understood. It was a good think that he seemed to be interested in her offer. This would be fun and then Juno would know Olly properly after all that she had been told about him. "Yes, I think so! Maybe you two can be friends." Even if her sister didn't socialize that much; something she had in common with Olly.
He was being so sweet to her. Esme was so touched that he had remembered things about her and had thought to get her a really nice present. It made her feel so happy and appreciated. "That means a lot to me," she said before giving him a kiss. She had wanted to do that for a couple months now and hoped he wouldn't be offended by it. "I promise I won't," she added with a laugh.

“Great. Then I surely will join you guys.’’ And thoughts of intruding on Esme’s plans vanished just like that. “Yeah. I think we can be. I mean, I did speak a few times to her before but since I didn’t usually talk to a lot of persons…” If he remembered right, Juno was the same as well. But he wanted to talk of Esme right now. “Did you get a unicorn for your birthday as yet?’’ he asked as a joke.
Olly was completely caught off guard by the kiss. He went completely still for a moment then touched the spot where Esme had kissed him. That cheek felt considerably warm now. It took at his self control not to kiss her back- on the lips. Because that’s what he wanted to do… kiss her. He smiled happily, realising he was not feeling the least bit shy. But what did the kiss mean? Was it simply one to show her appreciation? Did she have a crush on him?
Maybe he was reading too much into this.

Yay! He was joining them! Esme was happier than ever now because Olly didn't feel like he would be intruding on them. "Wonderful! I know, but you always spoke to me." She smiled at him, but then she had been smiling for the entire time. Though with his joke she was laughing again. "Crazy to imagine, but no. I'm expecting I will have a bunch soon enough though, so I am okay with that." Once she started her career and everything; she had already told him all about that.
It was good that he didn't seem to mind the kiss, going so far as to smile and touch his cheek. Esme hadn't been sure if he would like it especially seeing how shy he was. Seemed like that wasn't a problem at all. That made her the happiest yet because she really wanted to do this. "I really like you, Olly." This time she gave him a proper kiss. Juno was stupidly excited! it was her twin sister's birthday. Yes they had separate birthdays by only 15 minutes; it was the coolest thing ever. But she was so excited because this was the first birthday she would spend with her boyfriend, and she got her sister THE best present ever and she couldn't wait to give it to her.
Juno was so excited that she was literally pulling Leon through the pub to find an open table. "C'mon, Cap! We gotta find a table. OH, THERE'S ONE!" She quickly rushed over to a table with four chairs, though they wouldn't need that fourth one because it was just going to be the three of them. Juno, Leon, and Esme! What a great day!
Juno patted the seat next to her for Leon to sit in. She placed her sister's wrapped birthday present on the center of the table. She couldn't wait for Esme to open it. She just knew her sister would love it.

She quickly rushed over to a table with four chairs, though they wouldn't need that fourth one because it was just going to be the three of them. Juno, Leon, and Esme! What a great day!
Juno patted the seat next to her for Leon to sit in. She placed her sister's wrapped birthday present on the center of the table. She couldn't wait for Esme to open it. She just knew her sister would love it.
Leon was chuckling softly as Juno legit pulled him into the pub, he wasn't even lollygagging! He was walking as fast as he could and it still didn't match her excited pace. "I'm coming Quicksilver! Just remember I don't have super speed! I'm just strong. " He said with a grin at his girlfriend!
He settled down into the seat next to Juno, his leather jacket creaking as he did so and put the present he and Az had gotten for Esme on the table as well.
"As excited I am about your sisters birthday, I'm even more excited about yours! " He said with a grin at her as he leaned down and gave a gentle kiss on the cheek. He had had help from Az and he hoped she was going to like her birthday present!
He slipped his hand into hers under the table and looked around.. "Want anything to eat or drink? Or should I wait until Esme gets here? " He asked her softly. Olly was going to be outright honest with himself. He was more confused than before about what had just happened. Many questions were running through his mind and which were not limited to: how long had Esme liked him? Why hadn’t she told him?... she was way more outgoing than he was. And… did this mean that they could date now? Alright, so maybe the last question was the most important to him.
Before he knew it, they had arrived at the Three Broomsticks. Using his free hand, he held open the door for Esme in true Hufflepuff style. “I see Juno. There she is.’’ Olly nodded in the direction in which he had spotted the other Darcy and a guy that could only be Leon. Still holding Esme’s hand, he began his way to their table, his brain and mind still reeling. Sooooo Olly wasn't saying anything back to her. Esme guessed that meant he didn't like her back because she had just told him that she had a crush on him?? Okay, she was going to try and not look disappointed right now even though she was. This was not his fault and he didn't have to return the feelings.
She nodded as he pointed out her sister, and Esme made a beeline towards Juno and Leon. "Hey, sis! Leon!" Of course Juno got a big hug because even if they saw each other all the time, this was a special occasion. It was her birthday and she was trying to think of something other than being kind of rejected. Juno looked back at Leon with an evil grin. She was faster than he was on broom and feet. But she was extra excited today because it was one of the most important days of the year to her. "That's ok. I like strong." She grinned hugely and gave him a flirty wink.
Juno smiled at the two presents side by side. She really couldn't wait for her sister to open them. Though she didn't know what Leon and Az got her sister. Juno leaned into his kiss on her cheek. She wished his lips could stay there forever. "Awe, I am glad you are and I am too. But it's hard to explain the connection that Es and I have. I have had a best friend my whole life. So her birthday is just as exciting to me as mine is. Trust me I will be even more excited for my own tomorrow." She said with a chuckle.
Juno gave Leon's hand a little squeeze as soon as he put it in hers. It was so nice to be able to hold his hand. It made her feel safe. Just as she was about to reply to Leon's question her sister and some guy that looked really familiar walked in. They were holding hands...but immediately she felt it. As soon as her sister looked at her. She brushed it off maybe it was nothing. She smiled and waved at the unexpected guy, who she was assuming was Olly, and her sister.
Letting go of Leon's hand, she stood up and threw out her arms for her sister. "Hey Es! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" She said with a giggle, and immediately wrapped her arms around her sister. The closer they were the more connected, and she instantly felt what her sister was feeling. Disappointment and rejection. This guy had rejected her sister? OH, BUDDY HE WAS ON HER LIST NOW! She released her sister, and as soon as she was out of ear shot leaned over to Leon, whispering where only he could hear it, "Somethings wrong."
"You must be Olly?" Juno said as she put her hand out to shake his. "Do I know you from somewhere?" He looked so familiar. She was really trying to be cordial....even if she really wanted to punch this guy for making her sister upset. Leon grinned at Juno as she spoke and he winked back.."Good! Cause that's what I am.. and while I run.. it's more for long distance and stamina than speed. " He said as he saw her flirty grin and nearly blushed..
Gahhh.. his head felt all melty now and.. what was happening?
He managed to get his head back together as she spoke about her bond with Esme, "That sounds.. amazing. I'm glad you have the bond you two do. " He said with a smile. He hoped he would one day be able to have that sort of bond with Azura.. they were already getting close.. and he was grateful for that. Siblings were so cool!
Leon blinked as he turned and saw Esme entering with.. a boy? And they were holding hands? His eyebrows rose a bit.. uhh.. was this a recent development? Should he say congrats? Did Juno know about this?
His mind was reeling as he stood and smiled. "Hello Esme! Happy birthday! " He said with an easy grin before turning to the dark haired boy next to her. "Hey, I'm Leon Kennedy, Juno's boyfriend. " He said with a wide grin as he stuck his hand out to shake when..
Huh?
He caught Juno's whisper and his grey eyes looked confused...
Something was wrong? Olly was too caught up to have heard what Esme had asked him out on the street and even more distracted now that they were in the company of Juno and Leon. Esme received a huge hug from her sister, for which Olly had to let go of her hand. He didn’t mind though. It was nice to see sibling love except it made him miss his own sister like crazy!
“Uh, hi.’’ He smiled awkwardly at Juno and Leon. Meeting people was not his thing. “Yes, I was at Hogwarts too but I graduated a almost three years ago.’’ Would he be offended if Juno didn’t remember him? Not one bit. Olly had always been one to be in the shadows. He shook her hand heartily and tried desperately not to wince. When he took back his hand, it was throbbing. Did Juno workout or something? Ow ow ow!
“Hi, Leon.’’ Olly gingerly stuck his hand out to shake Leon’s. He wouldn’t crush his hand, yeah? “Oliver McDean but you can call me Olly.’’ Everyone did, anyway. “How’s it going?’’ And was he missing something? Why was Juno whispering to Leon? Esme was trying hard not to be sad, especially since Olly hadn't actually SAID anything to her, but it was hard not to take his non-response as rejection. She had been so sure he had a crush on her by the way he liked the kiss, but maybe that was all it was. Regardless it wasn't his fault and wouldn't change the way that she felt about him. After they had met up around Christmas she had found herself liking him more and more and wanting to be his girlfriend; something that she was sure Juno had picked up on.
BIG SISTER HUG.
"Thanks, Juno!" With a somewhat forced smile, her attention then turned to the new boyfriend. "Thank you, Leon!" It was a good thing that Esme was focused on him instead of Juno and Olly, because it really would have upset her even further if she saw His hand being squeezed hard!
Seeing Juno whispering to Leon, Esme instantly picked up on something. It was the connection that they had always shared and it made it so there really weren't any secrets between the two of them. Well, she wanted Juno to like Olly! No point in mentioning the onion incident as that might be a little awkward. Unfortunately it was probably the only way that Juno would remember him... "Olly goes to WADA now! He's studying painting and told me that I can see some of his work." Trying to make things more comfortable AND distract herself at the same time.
Esme was rather proud of herself right now. She didn't care why he ran...just so long as he ran with her. And just like that he was putty. It made Juno grin super huge. She loved that he liked her so much that he blushed whenever she looked at him a certain way. It made her feel good that she could make him blush.
She didn't know how to explain this one to him. What she and Esme had was more than just a normal sibling bond. "It is amazing. And it's more than just being close to one another...we kinda have this....extra sense." She gave him a look that said she would explain more later. It would take time to explain it to him.
Leon looked just as confused as Juno felt she shrugged and shook her head, indicating she had no idea this person was coming. But she had to be cordial.
OOPS! She realized as she was letting go of his hand that she had gripped Olly! She hadn't meant to, but she was seriously upset because her sister was upset and she couldn't help it sometimes. Then when he said he graduated a few years ago the memory struck her. "Oh, my gosh. You're the guy that dumped the onions all over Esme!" She said it with a chuckle, despite the anger in her heart.
She could sense her sister going through so many emotions right now. Saddness, worry, fear, disappointment, rejection, were just a few. She felt confusion too...but there was also a smidgen of hope...even if it was burried deep. This guy better prove to her that he wanted to be with his sister or a things were going to go south quickly.
"You're welcome, sis." She watched as Esme exchanged greatings with Leon. She was so happy Esme liked him. If she didn't approve it would be really hard for her to be with him known her sister didn't like him. But thankfully she did. Oh, and artist. Now the look made sense. He looked like a Vampire. Juno almost wanted to stake him...almost. "That's great! Why don't we all have a seat and we can decide on food or open presents!" Juno said with a wink hoping her sister would want a pick me up!
She looked over to Leon and gave him a wink that said I'll tell you later, and sat back down at the table. This was going to be an interesting afternoon.

There was Olly continuing to make her feel happier than ever. No one else could make Esme feel as good as he did. And he was lucky that she more than respected how he felt about PDA, because otherwise she would have kissed him right there and then. But nope, she was going to save all of those kisses for later on. Instead she just beamed more than ever. "Not more than I love you." Hehe.
And there was Olly click click clicking away with the camera. He was so going to be the most amazing professional photographer. Esme kept glancing at him from time to time as she worked. Seemed like she wasn't the only one who did it either. A wink or two was thrown in every time she distracted him. "I think I'm almost done." Not quite, but a lot of it had been completed.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Olly beamed yet again. How was it that this woman made him so happy? Beyond happy, actually. "Are you sure about that? You know, I could argue with you about this all day.'' Indeed he could and he wasn't going to give in! Or on second thought, he'd easily give in just so he could see Esme smile in triumph. Any smile that was hers was simply breathtaking.
Oh, he caught those winks, Esme. Even if Olly sometimes pretended not to, he did. Sometimes he tossed a wink back. Really... he was enjoying himself quite a lot. Everything with Esme was a million times more enjoyable. He went over to her again, eyes fixed on the painting. "Yes, you are. This looks so great, Esme.'' Could she tell just how proud of her he was right now?

Esme raised her brow at Olly and then grinned. "You COULD do that, OR you could just let me win to make me happy." Yes, she knew you well, Oliver McDean; there was no fooling this Hufflepuff. "But I might let you win so that you are happy instead." Wasn't she just the best girlfriend in the entire world? Really she knew that there was no competition going on and they loved each other exactly the same. Still playing around with him was a lot of fun. But she WOULD let him win just to see him smile.
Hehe. It was amazing that Olly managed to get all that photography done between all the staring at her and winking, but somehow he managed to do it. "I can't wait to see the photos." Esme knew that he would be showing them to her as soon as they were ready and she was looking forward to it. "I think it looks amazing too! See all the techniques you taught me?" She was using so many of them! As she talked, she worked on adding in the last details. "I think I am going to animate it. Make the ducks swim and the trees blow in the wind a bit." Would make things even better! And she knew how proud he was of her and that made her even happier if that was possible.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Oliver groaned. "But I want to win,'' he said in a pretend whiny voice. "Don't you think I let you win too much?'' He didn't really want to win, he would gladly give into Esme but today it might be the other way around. She just might let him win. To help her complete that decision, he gave her a charming smile. Give in, Esme.
"You'll see them when we get home,'' the young man said. "I'll need to apply the potion but you'll have the ones of yourself first.'' Maybe he'd even frame a few of them to hang in the apartment. "I do. I've taught you well.'' Olly was rather pleased that Esme had taken his tips and advice so well. "That's a great idea! Go for it, baby.''
♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<#
SNORT. Olly was being so whiney and it was impossible for Esme to keep from laughing as he pretended to try and get her to cave on the issue. Really she gladly would do it for him, as she just couldn't say no. He also couldn't say no to her; something that she was very aware of. "Okay, fine. You can win. I like making you happy." It made her happy too. Plus she did love to see a smile on his handsome face.
It was no surprise that Olly would get the pictures sorted as soon as they got home. "How exciting! I wonder if I need to send in pictures of myself if I try out modeling. I'm not sure how it works and I will need to ask dad. If I DO, can you take them for me? Esme knew that he would agree to it; and that way he got to take more pictures for his photography. "You taught me very well, baby. You're a wonderful teacher." He was always so patient and took the time to explain things and show them to her. And because of it she had learned so many different techniques, though of course there were still a lot to master. "I think I will if the coast is clear." It would be bad if any muggles saw what she was about to do.
After seeing that there was no one around to see, Esme used her wand to animate the painting like she had learned to in that Charms class some years ago. "There. Now it's done!" She was very pleased with the result. Yep.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
She was laughing at him and Olly just grinned in reply. Esme had a nice laugh and he liked to hear it. Besides, he would never feel offended if she laughed at his expense; they were too playful with each other for him to mind. "That's more like it,'' he said with an approving nod. He was thoughtful as they continued the talk of Esme's possible modelling career. "I am sure you will and you know that I'd love to.'' Esme was always his best work.
"Thank you!'' Olly beamed and looked around carefully. Everyone was too observed in their own activities to notice them. Plus they were at a distance away from the couple. "Looks clear to me.'' Still, he stood close by, shielding his girlfriend from persons in the distance. "This is perfect. Now we just need to keep it from view from muggles. Did you bring that sheet? We could cover the painting with that.''

It was so wonderful that Esme could be like this with Olly because he knew that she was being playful with him and never making fun of him; there was no way that she would ever do that seriously. Some boyfriends might be touchy, but he wasn't like that and she could joke around with him in ways that she couldn't with anyone else. "So now you can't say that I never let you win." Hehe. She would let him win all the time if that was what he really wanted. "Awesome! And you can take pictures of me whenever you want to." She loved being his muse and his model.
"I'm just speaking the truth." Esme returned the smile and was so glad that the coast was clear because the last thing that she wanted was to get into trouble. She loved living in London, but there were so many muggles around and it was always necessary to watch their backs so as not to be seen doing magic. "This looks so much better. And I DID remember to bring the sheet!" She had remembered to take it in her purse and it was a good thing too because otherwise there would be a lot of questions.
Pulling it out, she started draping it over the painting.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Olly simply smiled. "I really have no idea what you're talking about, Esme. You let me win?" Esme was the only person aside from Naida that he teased. He was always afraid that other might carry too many feelings if he teased them and in turn, they'd be angry with him. And yes, he knew she was his willing model any day.
If he were one of those overly proud young men Aditya Rehman ehem, his head would have been swollen by now. But that was not the case with him. He had all the modesty. "Great. We can't have the muggles seeing this.'' But he was going to put it on display at the apartment. Yes, he was.
Olly reached for Esme's hand. "Let's sit and enjoy the afternoon, shall we?"

Oh. So Olly was going to play the innocent card, was he? Esme was even more amused now; he was just so much fun and could be such a joker with her. "You know exactly what I mean, Oliver. You were the one pouting at me." Giggle. There was no way that he could disagree with her on that. It had been amusing and rather endearing as well.
Nod. "I don't want to be dragged away to Azkban for this. If that happened, you would need to promise not to forget about me." Again she was joking. Esme knew that there was no way she would be arrested for it, and besides things had turned out perfectly. The painting was finished and looked completely perfect. She was looking forward to showing it off, but for the moment she took his hand. "That sounds great to me! Too bad we didn't bring any food because then we could have had a picnic." Oh well. Maybe next time they could do that.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Pouting? "Who was pouting?'' Oliver looked behind and around him. "I think you're seeing things, Esme. There was no one pouting.'' He grinned broadly. She was one of the few persons he would tease like this. Only his family usually saw this side of him. "I won't. I'll try to visit you as often as possible and bring you lots of chocolates.''
Food. This reminded Olly he was feeling hungry now. "How about we send the painting home and then we take a stroll around the park? I'm sure there are lots of food vendors here.'' They could magically send the painting, after all. Magic was such a wonderful thing.

Uh huh. Olly was continuing to be a joker, and Esme was loving every minute of it. She knew that he wasn't like this with most people, and that made the entire thing more special; they were so very comfortable with each other - just how it SHOULD be. "Yes, maybe I need glasses. I might be going blind or something." Siiiiiigh. What was she going to do??? Esme started to pretend to be distraught over the thought that she was losing her sight when he made the comment about chocolate. "You can visit me all the time, but don't you DARE bring me chocolates." Giggle. She was going to be teased about this forever, she knew. "Bring me white chocolate though." That would be greatly appreciated.
The thought about getting food was amazing, and she was getting more and more hungry. Esme just loved food. "Okay, let's do that! And then we can get my cereal before we head home." Olly must not forget about that. "But yeah, I would love to go on a walk!" It was so pretty here at the park and she loved it here.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Glasses? That could easily be arranged. Olly smiled a sweet, laid back one. "Of course. We can get one for you. We can customise the fame if you want. Possibly put some unicorns and horses on it.'' What would she think of that suggestion? "Aren't white chocolates still chocolates?'' It was a question that always had him wondering. Maybe Esme could shed some light on this.
"I had already forgotten about your cereal, baby.'' Smiling he looked to the painting. They couldn't leave it there. Some curious passerby could take a peek. "Since we have a slight change of plans, we should take the painting with us. Should we shrink it or do you by chance have an Undetectable Extension Charm on that bag of yours?''
♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<#
Oooh, custom glasses! Esme sure liked the sound of that. She beamed at Olly. "Yeah, I can get awesome sunglasses. Maybe I could have two pairs: one with horses and one with unicorns." That was possible, right? If not, they would just MAKE it so. "And you could get some awesome black shades if you want." Because Olly was all about black and it really was an awesome colour; she loved it too. "Not really. It's called that, but it actually doesn't have any chocolate in it at all. That's why I like it." Something that she had explained to him on Valentine's Day, but he had forgotten.
And there was something else he forgot. Esme laughed. "Oh, you can be so forgetful sometimes, baby." It was okay though; she thought it was endearing and he never forgot the really important things like her birthday or their anniversary. "We can do that, and I'll still get a walk in AND some cereal." So it was win win in her books. "I do, so that should be pretty easy to do. Just need to make sure that the coast is clear once more..." She looked around to see if there was anyone about.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
The more they talked about this, the more Olly was deciding he would indeed get those glasses and surprise Esme with them. "Two pairs sound good. I'll see what i can do for you.'' Oh, he would make it happen, never fear. "Black is always what I want.'' As for that chocolate, he could never quite figure out why they call it white chocolate still. But the main thing was that Esme liked them so he always made sure she got.
"It's a good thing I'm around then.'' His sometimes scatterbrained girlfriend. Her comment made Olly laugh. "You sure are demanding but you just might get all that you want.'' The goth looked around too. "I think we're in the clear.''
♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<#
Wow, that was so cool! "Thanks, Olly!" Esme didn't think that she would ever stop being so happy - at least when she was with him. Beaming, she gave him a hug. "I know baby. That's why we still have all that black in the apartment." Of course there were some other colours there as well. Really she did love black too, especially now that she was dating him and had more of an appreciation of the colour. She just couldn't pull it off as well as he did; Olly was always sexy in black, though really he was no matter what.
"It's ALWAYS a good thing to have you around. The best thing." Esme loved him so much and she never wanted to be apart from him. She knew that he felt the same way when it came to her. "You love it when I am demanding," she added as she playfully stuck out her tongue at him. Really she didn't demand much when it came to Olly and he surely knew that; certainly she was a lot less like that than she could be with other people. Really she mostly knew what she wanted and could be VERY determined to get it. Smiling, she went about putting the painting in her bag. "There! Now it's safely away. I really DO love having an expanding bag." It really could make life SO much easier.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
It was quite easy to see that someone-Esme- was very happy. Mission accomplished, Olly, he thought to himself and made a note in his head to get those frame for her. Soon too rather than to just wait for a special occasion. He hugged her back. "I'm just glad that you didn't make me get rid of all the black. That would be depressing.''
"Flattering me a lot today?'' Olly pretended to be puzzled. "Is there something important you want me to get for you?'' Her next comment only made him look more 'puzzled'. "How do you know you being demanding doesn't drive me crazy?'' He found it easy to keep from smiling though he couldn't resist teasing her. "Such a typical woman with their bags and fashion.''

It was obvious that Esme was going to get her new glasses soon enough because Olly would make that happen. How had she lucked out so much in the boyfriend department? She had no idea, but she was very thankful of it. "Of course I'd never make you get rid of the black, Olly. We're equals in this relationship and I know how much you love black. I love it too." She just didn't wear it as much as he did and loved other colours as well. But she never would make him get rid of it all, and loved how things were decorated in a way that they both liked and appreciated; that was the important thing because they were in this together.
Olly was really enjoying all the teasing and that was wonderful to see. Esme was having a lot of fun as well, loving that they could be so playful with each other. "Maybe. Or maybe I just love spending time with you. You'll never figure out which one it is." Hehe. She playfully gave him a light hit on the arm. "I can be SO much more demanding with you if you want to see just how bad I can get." Something that she would never really do, but it was fun to pretend that she WOULD. "I may be, but that's just because I know I look fantastic." Amused, she struck a pose and did a hair flip. Yes, she was practicing for her modeling career. Well, potential modeling career.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
This was exactly one of the reasons he loved Esme. She was so considerate and didn't make this entire relationship about herself as some other girls would do. Not that he had any experience in that department. "I love you for that.'' The hit on the arm and the tease was enough to get a laugh of out him. "Can I make a hazard guess? It's a combination of both.''
Oh, really Esme?
"Are you challenging me? I am willing to go along with this.'' Just look at her. His perfect model. Olly could not help but admire. "Not to mention perfect. You're perfection.''
♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<#
Hehe. It always made Esme happy when Olly told her he loved her; of course she knew that even if he didn't say it, but that didn't mean it wasn't nice to hear. "Oh, is that the only reason you love me then?" she teased while knowing that it wasn't. She could tease him just as much after all. SNORT. "You know which one it is, Olly." Shaking her head, she laughed right along with him.
"I don't think you could handle it though. I'd drive you crazy." Not really though because she would never do that to him really, which he obviously knew. "Now you're the one who is flattering me." Goodness though, she DID love it even if she didn't think she was anything close to perfection.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Olly nodded, his expression no longer funny. "That's indeed the only reason why I love you. I don't know why you would think there were other reasons.'' It was perfect, this banter on this equally perfect day and it made Olly extra happy.
Another challenge?
"Such doubt you have in me,'' he said and took her hand to lead her so they could get some food. "If I keep teasing then you might get angry and moody. You know, typical girly behaviour.'' Smiling slightly, he turned his attention to the food vendors they had just come upon. "What do you want to eat, baby?''
♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<#
Pffft. Olly was such a liar right now. Esme rolled her eyes, but she was SO amused right now. "It's impossible not to love me for a million reasons." No, she was NOT vain like that, but she knew that he was enjoying this as much as she was. "And I love you when you buy me stuff." Hehe. All the jokes. She wasn't into material stuff, but food was ALWAYS more than welcome in her books.
Grin. "You couldn't last a day with it," she said as she took his hand and walked with him. They were going to get something to eat now which made her happy, because Esme was getting hungrier at the thought of food. "Me angry and moody? Never." Okay, that was not true, but she certainly didn't get mad like Juno did; her sister could be SCARY. "Well, since I doubt they'd have pizza here, maybe a hot dog and fries." They would have those, right?
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
"What if I tell you I was growing tired of you taking up all my space at the apartment? Or that you snore and it annoys me?'' Still not smiling here even though he still was teasing. In actuality, Esme didn't snore and even if she did, he was quite positive he would find it adorable. "You only use me to buy things for you, don't you?''
Olly laughed. Esme did occasionally get moody with him and everything around her but he knew she couldn't help it. "I see hot dogs.'' It was the first eatable he had seen. "Let's get those first. Two for the lady?'' He was half serious because he knew that his girlfriend loved to eat.
♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<#
Oh, Olly wanted to go there, huh? Esme smirked. "You take up just as much space in the apartment as I do and I'm not the one who snores. Sometimes it's hard for me to fall asleep because you keep me up all night." That wasn't true, but then Olly knew it . Really it didn't take much for her to fall asleep when she was tired and she was a deep sleeper. "Yep. You figured me out." Hehe.
He was laughing, and Esme knew it was because she really COULD be like that sometimes, but it was mostly when she was hormonal. That was something she could not help and he knew it just as well as she did. What a patient and understanding boyfriend he was. "Awesome! I want all the hotdogs." Or... maybe just the two. She nodded at him.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
"You have a lot more things. Like make up, all those clothes and shoes...'' Really, it never bothered Olly. He was always more than happy to accommodate her belongings. He laughed. "Well then, I'm so surprised that you have not decided to sleep out on the couch or somewhere else. Be ready to stay awake a lot more nights, baby.''
"All?'' Olly laughed again. "Are you sure they'll fit in that stomach?'' From the guy selling the hot dogs, he ordered four. "Now, Esme, don't get the idea that three are for you.'' More teasing but he was also hungry so he figured he'd get two for himself as well. "Here you are. We'll get chips after we're done.''
♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<#
Esme just grinned at her boyfriend. "That doesn't bother you at all. Besides, Juno is SO much worse with that stuff than I am. You really lucked out." Something which she knew that he would agree on. "That's not fair. I need my beauty rest. Maybe I WILL sleep on the couch then and you will miss me." Smirk. Like that would ever happen and Olly knew it too.
"Hey, my stomach is a bottomless pit, don't forget that. Lay them all on me." Or just the two... the amount that she had said she wanted when he had asked. "Thank you," Esme said with a smile as he handed hers over. "Now just keep in mind that I might take yours as well." Grin. And then there would be chips which was awesome. "I wonder if they have any onion rings for you though." Olly would like that.
