HEY IM BACK LMFAOOOOOO

Helping me spread Aidesse propaganda, huh? 💚💚💚

The date had started out near perfect.

Jesse looked stunning even if she was dressed casually—her favorite pair of overalls over a red plaid button up. [Usually she’d be wearing some sort of t-shirt or crop-top but a significant wind chill had her making different outfit choices] Her tight natural curls framed her face in just the perfect way; brown eyes bright and divine.

And Aiden thought he’d picked the perfect spot for some prime cloud-gazing. It was just outside of town under this huge oak tree that’d been there for at least 50 years. Easily his favorite spot in their whole province. He often came here on the bad days when his father’s temper was at it’s worse when he was younger. And still came here now to clear his thoughts and reign his own temper in. It was a tranquil place surrounded in rolling fields and patches of wild flowers. He knew she’d adore it. And was right.

They settled in the grass and watched the sky for some time; her pressed to his side. At some point, he lost track of the sky and was instead talking to her; mindless and trivial chatter, joking and laughing, her face pressed to his shoulder after he made a particularly sappy comment. She got her revenge though; pushing herself up and leaning over him, teasing him with several smaller kisses before finally pressing her lips to his. Things get blurry from there. His hand in her hair and heart beating relentlessly in his chest. He doesn’t think much could have separated them at that moment.

A crack of thunder does the trick. The rain starts not too long after and they’re running through the fields shrieking and laughing and in search of shelter. They find it in her treehouse. And are now just rolling a ball across the room for Reuben to chase after and roll back. The little pig is looking a bit worn when he pushes the ball to Aiden and when he rolls it across the floor Reuben gets about half way before seemingly giving up and lying down instead.

Jesse giggles.

“Aw, you tired, boy?”

The pig gives a decisive snort in reply. Aiden finds himself chuckling as his eyes slide back over to her. She’s already watching him; gaze fond. He’s not quite able to hold it, nerves bristling, stomach twisting into knots. He rubs the back of his neck and coughs. His eyes come back to hers and he finds she’s closer; sitting cross-legged in front of him. He takes her hands, running his thumbs along her knuckles.

“Sorry about the rain.”

She laughs, giving his hands a firm squeeze.

“You can’t control the weather, dummy,” she says, “I still had a good time.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah.”

A comfortable silence stretches between them. He watches the rain outside fall in sheets past her window. Some hot tea would be nice right now; they could sip at it while they watch it fall together. He looks at her again. She’s not looking at him this time which means he gets to admire her for a bit. His eyes fix on the little mole below her eye and then follow the soft curve of her jaw. A smile curves his lips upward and without much thought he leans forward to press his lips to her cheek. Her breath hitches before she starts to laugh; bubbly and light as spring. It fills his chest and he finds himself laughing too.

“Aiden—“

He pulls back trying to feign innocence. She’s smiling so wide that dimple of hers is on full display. He wonders if he can get her to laugh again; feels like he might just go insane if she doesn’t. So he leans forward to press his lips to the tip of her nose. It works. She’s once again giggling and he pulls back to get a good long look at her. He doesn’t get far her hands sliding out of his and grabbing his jacket, pulling him to her. Her lips a firm yet gentle against his. His hand lifts to cup her cheek. He wishes they could stay like this forever.

They pull back, not far, foreheads pressed together. They’re both a bit breathless. His hand moves into her hair.

“I love you.”

His heartbeat jumps into his throat as soon as the words are out. They hang in the air heavily and he feels like they just might crush him. She pulls back enough to look at him; her eyes wide. His stomach drops and he retracts his hand. His lips part as he searches for some way to save this, but then her look of surprise melts into the sweetest smile he’s seen yet. Her hands coming to either side of his face.

“I love you.”

His chest swells and he crashes back to her; kissing her clumsily, laughing all the while. She’s laughing too, sweet and airy. Frustratingly, he has to pull back for air and he sighs as he does pressing his forehead to hers. It’s comfortably silent for a bit. Until her clock strikes the hour and doles out it’s chime.

They both jump and then laugh. She pulls back and twists herself to look at said clock. He leans back on his hands and squints at it himself. His stomach drops.

“Is that clock fast?”

She shakes her head as she turns back to him.

“Olivia set it yesterday.”

“You mean it’s really 5:10?”

He groans; his head in his hands. She laughs.

“What?”

He lifts his head and instead takes to pinching the bridge of his nose.

“I was supposed to be back by five to go over blueprints with Lukas.”

Her brow furrows.

“EnderCon isn’t for another month?”

He nods.

“Lukas likes to be prepared.”

She laughs and shakes her head.

“Couldn’t be me. I get an idea like three days before and me, Olivia, and Axel scramble to get materials together for it.”

He looks at her incredulously.

“Really?”

She nods.

“Jesse—“

“What? Don’t like my strategy?”

He laughs.

“Wouldn’t be my first choice.”

“Oh, yeah, mister my-teams-won-four-years-in-a-row?” She teases, “Wanna give me some pointers? Maybe a hint on what I’m up against this year?”

He shakes his head, grinning.

“No.”

She scoffs and swats his shoulder.

“That’s not fair!”

“Yes it is!” He says with a laugh. “You’ll just have to see it when you see it.” He shoots a grin her way. “They are some winning designs though.”

Her expression drops into a glower.

“Oh, so you think we’re gonna lose?”

She rolls her eyes and shakes her head. His stomach drops immediately and he reaches for her.

“Hey, I didn’t—I didn’t mean anything by—“

She blinks at him and takes his hands in hers squeezing gently.

“I know.”

The anxiety that was building up crumbles and he squeezes her hands back. The rivalry between their respective friend groups was always a point of contention. It was mostly friendly but there was the nastier parts of it too; parts he definitely egged on. He’s not proud of it by any means. The guilt got worse once he and Jesse started dating.

Their friends knew about them. It was a secret they kept close at first, when neither of them knew what they were doing and weren’t sure if things would stick. But things did stick and got serious fast. Lukas, Maya, and Gill laughed it off, teased him some, but that was it. Petra was Petra. Teasing and threatening in the same breath. Olivia and Axel—Olivia was probably the most accepting. Though, she did eye him weird on occasion. Axel he didn’t like him before and was even more adamant about it now. Aiden knows he thinks Jesse could do better. And, if he’s honest with himself, he knows she could too.

Pressure on his hands pulls him from his thoughts and he looks at Jesse. Her brow is furrowed and she’s frowning.

“You okay?”

He nods, feigning his best smile.

“Just not looking forward to the earful Lukas is gonna give me.”

She laughs and her thumb traces his knuckles.

“I wish you luck.”

And here comes the hard part of seeing Jesse; saying goodbye. He sighs and gently slides his hands out of hers before pushing himself up to his full height. She follows him suit. They stand there for a long moment and then he sighs.

“I’ll see you later?”

She smiles and looks down, rubbing at her arm.

“How about Friday? There’s a play being put on.”

He grins and nods.

“Sounds perfect.”

She beams and pulls him into a tight embrace. He returns it with equal fervor. She pulls back after a moment and smiles sweetly as she pushes herself up to peck his lips. He laughs leaning down to kiss her back.

Lukas can wait a little longer.
