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.

"It just might bother me a lot.'' Not really. Olly knew he hit the jackpot with the right twin. Him and Juno were so different anyway. In any case, he had never had eyes for other girls. "I think you should. You sleep and snore too much so you sleeping on the couch would make things a lot easier for me.''
Oliver burst out laughing. Bottomless pit of a stomach was right but it was one of those things he admired about Esme. "You're welcome, baby,'' he told her fondly. "No, you're not getting any of mine.'' And he turned away from the girlfriend so she'd be unable to get any of his food. "Onion rings sound perfect.'' Already he was looking around for some.

Esme pretended to be offended. "Okay, that's just plain RUDE, Oliver McDean." Except not. Besides, he was lucky; they both knew that he had hit the jackpot with her. They had hit the jackpot with each other and he was lucky that she loved him just as much as he loved her. "Ooooor maybe I could make you sleep on the couch." Now THAT was an interesting idea. Hehe.
A big smile was sent his way, but then Olly was turning away from her and saying that he wasn't going to share. Pfft. Esme gave a fake out. "Well, we share sometimes." But she wasn't going to be wanting any of his today because she had more than enough food on her own. Happily she began eating one of her hotdogs. "Onion rings ARE nice." The only time that onions were good, because otherwise they were nasty. "Maybe they are where the french fries are." Made sense to her.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
"Excellent. I was going for mean, Esme Darcy.'' That was a huge lie since Oliver had no idea how in the world to be mean to anyone. But just look at her, inserting her bossiness as a girlfriend. It made Oli laugh. "You wouldn't do that to me. You love me a lot that's why.'' Aside from that, he knew she was still teasing.
Oli was grinning now as he turned back to face Esme. "We do. But when it comes to food, I'll get you all you want.'' That way she would always have enough food. He had to keep her happy, after all. Right then he shook his head at her. "You seem to be getting hungrier rather than filled. Come on, baby. Let's go find some chips and onion rings.'' Now that he had finished one of his hot dogs, that meant one of his hands was free to hold one of Esme's.

Giggle. Esme didn't think that Olly had a mean bone in his body. "You are way too much of a Hufflepuff though." And that was a GOOD thing; Esme loved it and was a total Hufflepuff herself. "Hmmm. I might." She very definitely DID because it was utterly impossible for her not to. Just look at the perfection that she got to call hers.
"That's true, and I share with you too. You get to eat all the onions too." Because she did not like them unless they were onion rings. But she shared other things with him besides that. "Blame that on my dad. I totally got that from him." It was funny but true. Esme squeezed his hand while eating her hotdog with the other. "Awesome. I am so happy right now. This is the most perfect day." She was so happy that he had brought her to the park; he knew that she loved coming here.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
There she went again, giggling at him. Olly tried to glare at her. "Are you laughing at me, Ms Darcy? Because I find nothing funny at all.'' But Esme was right about one thing- he was too much of a Hufflepuff to be mean to anyone. truthfully, he felt sometimes that was a bad thing since being nice all the time had its downfalls. "You definitely love me. A lot too.''
Onion rings were his all time favourite! Olly was already thinking of getting some so they could take back to the apartment. "I'd share my onion rings with you too. Well, I have to share everything with you since you bully me.'' It was rather because he wanted to. "Some genes your father gave you.'' Not that he would ever, ever mind dealing with Esme's quirks. "I'm glad you enjoyed it. We need to do this often. Next time we'll have a big picnic.''
♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<#
Olly's glare did nothing to stop Esme from giggling; in fact it made her laugh even more. He was just way too cute when he tried to come off as annoyed. It was endearing. "Maybe I am. What are you going to do about it?" A sweet smile was sent his way because she knew that he really wasn't bothered at all. He was the definition of Hufflepuff and she loved it. "I love your confidence in that." She beamed. Of course it was obvious to anyone that she did love him a lot.
"Poor Olly getting bullied by a short girl. But I let you have most of them because I know you love them. I wouldn't hog your favourite." That would be plain rude and something that Esme would never do. "At least I didn't inherit his size and intimidation." Winking, she finished her hot dog. Now there was only one left... Pout. "We do, baby. Let's have an awesome picnic and we can do whatever you want to do." Because she wanted him to have a lot of fun too.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Was that a challenge? Challenges had never been Olly's thing but with Esme... let's just say that she brought out the fun side of him. "Why don't we go home and you'll find out?'' Maybe after they picked up the stuff she wanted. Esme and her food...
"Short girls are ferocious. And you happen to be the most ferocious of them all.'' Olly pretended to look scared. Then he was laughing. "I wasn't that intimidated. Was I?'' Maddox Darcy certainly was a manly man and the young man had certainly been intimidated and in awe of him. "How about we finish our food, go shopping for even more food and then we can plan coming back here next week for the picnic?''

Eyebrow raise. Esme was more than intrigued now. "Okay then, I am more than up for that." Olly was being so much fun right now, but then she knew that it was very easy for her to bring the mischievous side of him out. They really did have the best of times together.
Esme was laughing now, and it was a good thing that she hadn't started on her other hotdog yet, because she probably would have started choking on it. "Maybe I AM intimidating like my dad after all." Though not really; she really wasn't all that much like her dad. Not like her sister at least. "Not overly, I don't think... but I know that he was messing with you and Leon. I gave him a talking to after that." Giggle. That had been a lot of fun. "That sounds perfect! I am almost done." She was being good and not being messy with her food. It was just so good.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Cue that sweet, innocent smile that he could always pull off (just because he was a goth meant that he couldn't do it). "Careful what you wish for, baby. Come on then. Let's go.'' As talk went onto Esme's father, Olly relayed in his mind the day he had first met the man. It was no lie that he had been slightly scared of Maddox. But that was in the past. Now he and Maddox got along quite well.
"You're an intimidating little monster,'' Olly said fondly then laughed. "You did? I'm so sure he was forced to listen to you.'' Maybe this would explain why him and Maddox were like friends now. Whatever the reason, he was grateful. And while Esme finished up, he kept that fond gaze fixed on her.

"Oooh, you're playing Mr Innocent with me. We both know that you aren't innocent, baby." Hehe. Oliver could deny it as much as he wanted to, but he and Esme knew that it wasn't the case at all. It was super adorable when he tried to come across that way though. "But yes, let's go home. I want to know what is in store for me." Of course he wouldn't tell her because he enjoyed playing with her.
"I'm a scary, ferocious monster. ROAR." Esme growled and slowed off her non-existent claws, knowing that in all probability she was failing at being either scary OR ferocious. "Of course I did. I wanted you two to get along and I am so happy that you now do. He really likes you." She smiled at him after finishing her hot dog. It really did make her dad very happy to spend time with both Olly and Leon.

Alright, he might not exactly be innocent but that was Esme's fault. Everyone else thought he was as innocent as a baby and they weren't totally wrong. He started to lead them towards their apartment while he laughed. His girlfriend was so funny. She reminded him of a lion cub. "I'll keep that in mind. You're ferocious.'' Ah, how he loved her! "Me too. He's a great person once you get to know him.'' And at least Olly was now completely over his fear of Maddox.
=============
Olly wanted to do something special for Esme and had decided to take one of the old fashioned routes... dinner. Only thing he wasn't taking her to a fancy restaurant. No, he was doing all the cooking by himself. All her favourite items were on the menu and he was busily adding the finishing touches. Meaning, he was setting the table. It was complete with the candles and all.
"Just a few more minutes, baby,'' Olly called. He had made sure that she stay away from the kitchen and dining room.

Olly wasn't letting Esme anywhere near the kitchen or dining room, and she was TOTALLY fine with that because it meant that he was making food for the both of them. Food was something that always managed to make her happy, and the boyfriend definitely knew it.
Lying on the couch in the living room, she flipped through a magazine and tried her best to be patient. It was hard when she was hungry, but she was doing it for Olly. Plus she was a Hufflepuff and patience kind of came with the territory. "Okay! Take as long as you need, baby. I wonder what it could beeee." Esme giggled. She knew exactly what was up even if she didn't know everything that he had prepared for her.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Okay, the food was done, the setting of the table was completed. All Olly needed to get done now was himself. Meaning, he needed to change his clothes. He wasn't going for anything too fancy but when he emerged from the bathroom minutes later, he was wearing jeans and a new jersey- all black, of course.
After taking another look at the table (and feeling proud of himself), Olly made his way out to Esme. "Dinner's ready, m'lady,'' he said with a slight bow and an extended hand. "Shall I escort you?'' He straightened up and grinned.

As Esme was flipping the page in her magazine, she heard Oliver talking to her again. Looking up, she was that he had changed and was looking VERY good; but then when did he ever look anything less than amazing?
"Oh, what a gentleman," she said with a grin when he asked if he could escort her. "I would love that." Placing the magazine down on the table, she sat up and grabbed his hand, allowing him to help her up from the couch. "It smells absolutely amazing." And he had done all that for her. Wow, she felt so special.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Olly held his smile as he helped Esme off the couch. Yes, he was such a gentleman especially when it involved her, the love of his life. "Thank you. I hope you'll like it all. I've made all of your favourites.'' And he had made lots of it too so that Esme could have as many helpings as she liked.
He led her to the table where he let go of her hand only to pull a chair for her. "Your seat, m'lady. The good thing is that you get to start with any dish and drink you choose. So which do you want?'' Olly was so going to be her waiter.

WHOA.
Esme's eyes widened as she saw everything that Oliver had done for her. The table was covered in different foods, and as he said, they were all her favourites. Okay, she MIGHT have started tearing up a little. This was just way too wonderful. "I really don't know what I did to deserve you." Something that she would be wondering for the rest of her life. "Thank you so much." Words were failing her, but he knew how much this meant to her; she just wasn't always the best with this kind of thing, she was more one for actions.
Smiling, she took a seat in the chair that he had pulled out for her. "Oooooh! I want carbonated water and macaroni and cheese." Yummy. "You need to eat too, though," she added.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Did he manage to surprise her?
Yes. Yes, he did.
Then those eyes were widening in surprise. He had not been expecting her to get so emotional. "Hey, what's wrong, baby?'' he asked in concern. What in the world had he done without realising it? Had he left uncooked onions lying around? He started to look frantically around but then... Oh. Olly understood now.
"We're meant to be, that's all.'' He looked fondly at her. "I love you very much and I'd do anything for you.'' There was a smile from him. "You're welcome. I had fun making all of these. Maybe I should be a chef as well.''
Olly grinned. "Whatever the lady wishes.'' He poured a tall glass of carbonated water then cut a generous helping of mac and cheese. "For you.'' Olly settled them in front of her. "I'll join you.'' And he did, serving himself the exact thing as Esme.

Oh. Esme had made Olly worried without meaning to. Before she could explain that nothing was wrong, he figured it out. But then he always was good at understanding her. Smiling more than ever, she wiped her eyes. "We are and I feel the exact same way, baby." Reaching out her hand, she took his and squeezed it. Then she giggled. "Master painter and master chef. I'd never get to see you, but the food would be amazing." She'd much rather see him though. Definitely. It was a good thing that Olly wasn't being serious about this.
"Thanks, baby." Now she had some food and drink. Esme didn't start eating hers until she saw that he had taken some as well. "Ooh, this is so good. I hope I have enough room for everything." Somehow she knew that she could manage it. Well, with his help.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Olly let his hand be taken and squeezed while he momentarily looked transfixed at his girlfriend. She looked just as beautiful when she had puffy, red eyes. He was just glad he hadn't unknowingly done something to make her feel bad. Then again, he never did. Not that he was bragging. He handed Esme a napkin and returned the hand squeeze. "I would always make the time for you. You know that.'' Nothing could keep him away from her.
Olly had plated the same food for himself. "You're welcome. But knowing you, you will have room for anything plus room for seconds.'' Her huge appetite was something he loved to tease her about. And he always wondered how she never put on weight. Such a mystery that was. "Let's eat.''
♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<#
With a smile Esme took the napkin from Olly and wiped her eyes. Yes, she could be rather emotional, but she usually hid it well. With Olly she didn't worry about it though; that's just how much she trusted him. "I know. And you know too because you wouldn't want me to get mad at you." She smiled wider. They both knew that wouldn't happen; it would take a lot for her to seriously get mad at him; she just loved her boyfriend way too much.
It was nice to see that he had taken a decent portion for himself because she didn't want to eat all of it. Nope, Esme was going to share her food with him. "I don't know what you are talking about," she said faking innocence. "Honestly it's so good though that I don't know if I can help myself!" And that was the truth. She was enjoying every mouthful so much.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Olly raised both hands in surrender. "No way. I don't want a ferocious little monster attacking me because I don't give her enough time.'' That was never going to happen but he did love calling her his little monster. In anyway, aside from Naida and his father, Esme was the most important person in his life.
"Now you're being my innocent little monster,'' Olly said, laughing and at the same time spearing a piece of food with his fork. "I'm one hundred percent sure you'll want more mac and cheese after you've taken your first bite.'' With an amused and loving gaze, he watched her eat. And yes, he was sure of himself being that good of a cook. He had to be... for Esme's sake.

Hehe.
There was Olly calling her a little monster again. Esme loved it. After smirking, she pretended to bare fangs and menaced him with her fake claws. Yep, she could be a huge dork sometimes and she never had to worry about him making fun of her and judging her. He meant everything to her.
"I'm an innocent little angel," she said with a nod and as serious an expression as she could muster. "Oh, I love it when you are confident." And he was right at that; already she had eaten a bunch and she was just coming back for more and more.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Olly chuckled. Esme was so cute when she went all monster- like. If it weren't for the fact that they had to finish their dinner, he would have gotten playful with her. Besides, he knew she was hungry. As was he himself. Monstering around would happen later.
"Sure you are,'' was his response. "I see no halo.'' Grinning, he speared some more mac and cheese onto his fork and held it to Esme's mouth. Yes, he knew she could feed herself but this just felt like the right thing to do. "Aren't I always confident?'' Olly asked. "Mostly when it involves you.''
♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<#
Gaaaaasp. "Are you saying that I am not an innocent angel, Oliver?" Esme was VERY fake offended at that accusation. "I see no halo above your head either." Hehe. But he was her sweet and amazing boyfriend and she loved him so very very much. And she also loved that he was spoiling her tonight; even though she wasn't one of those girls who expected grand gestures and presents all the time, she sure appreciated them. They were the same in not really caring about material things and the like.
Oh. He was going to feed her. Esme giggled before taking the mouthful that he had offered. Yummy. "You are, baby," she said after swallowing. "And I find it very attractive." Wink.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
So dramatic and adorable she was. Oliver grinned and could barely keep his eyes off of her. "You heard me correctly, baby. You are the last person that will ever be an angel.'' Oliver waved a forkful of macaroni at her. "I believe you are looking in the wrong place. Can't you see it right...here?'' He indicated to just above his head. "It's very shiny and difficult to miss, you know.'' What a fun conversation they were having here!
"Flattering me?'' Olly asked in mock seriousness. "Is it because you want the next course of food?'' He let her eat off his fork before digging into the mac and cheese for another mouthful but this time for himself.
