Well, we both knew of each others' existence in elementary school. He used to be in my class until he moved to a different one. I never really talked to him then. In middle school, I saw him a lot more, and we actually got to talking.
How did he ask you to be his?
Why's it gotta be the guy asking the girl? I asked him out. I timed it. We already knew we liked each other since a few months before I did, so we would text a lot. In 2008, February had a Leap Day. So I kept stalling our texts and finally, when it hit midnight, I asked him out on the 29th. I was very satisfied with that.
Your first memory with them.
I don't really know what this means. Because I don't remember much from back then. But at this point, we weren't going out. It was in middle school, during lunch. I wasn't able to sit with my usual group of "friends" so I had to sit a bit far from them with people I wasn't comfortable with. I look over to them to see my now-boyfriend like, yelling, and him getting up and sitting next to me. I tried not to draw too much attention to it, but I felt bad, like they only forced him to come sit with me out of like pity, and not of his own will. We started arguing a lot, to which I threatened to slap him with some girly-smelling lotion in my hands (lotion-slap was apparently a thing), and he looked at me angrily, straight in my eyes, and said "I'ma piss in your face." That broke me, and I started cracking up. It's not even that funny but whatever, I found it hilarious. He doesn't remember telling me that.
Your first kiss.
Some things like first kisses should be special. Ours wasn't like that. Because we were in the library. I was waiting for a good time. But my sister was watching us. And it was really awkward. Just a peck. A bit embarrassing, being watched.
Favorite gift they gave you.
His handmade cards, his drawings. I always try to tell him not to buy me anything, but before, when it came to holidays or birthdays, he'd be ready with a card. Getting something handmade from someone you love is one of the best feelings, in my opinion.
Nicknames for one another.
We don't really have... nicknames, but we do call each other things. I stick to the norm--"sweetie," "sweetheart," all of that. I use "sayang," which is Indonesian for the word "dear," and him? He calls me "nena," since girl in Spanish is "niña," and Runescape doesn't take accent marks. He did a typo once and it came out like "nena," so he's stuck with it now.
What do you think of their family?
His parents are so nice, but every time I come around them I get so embarrassed and nervous and scared. I haven't seen his sister in like forever, so all the memories I have of her are really negative.
What does his/her family think of you?
I have no idea, really. I feel like they're just being nice when my boyfriend's around, but then they want to do things for me, but then I can't concentrate on that because I feel like they're secretly judging me every time they see me and I can't handle that.
I have no idea. We do have a lot, I guess. I just can't remember anything.
How many times have they upset you?
Why would we keep track of that sort of thing? I remember a few negative things that have happened to us but I wouldn't want to keep count. That's kind of scary.
Why is your relationship different from others?
Different from the other relationships we've seen in our high school. A lot of girls at my high school can't find guys that would treat them right, or if they do, something happens and they can't stay together or the girl ends up pregnant. I feel mean talking like that.
Ten things you like about them.
1. His laugh. He doesn't laugh in "ha ha"s but it's higher pitched, and I don't think I've ever heard anyone else laugh the way he does.
2. I like the way he smells. It never fails to make me happy.
3. I like his voice. He can change the tone so easy, although there's a certain tone of his voice that I'm really afraid of. Sometimes I try to start a conversation just to hear him talk. And when he sings, it makes me smile. Even if he's just playing around.
4. His hair. When he grows it out, it's really beautiful. Full of waves and curls and it's really thick and really dark. When he cuts it, it still stays fluffy. I get really jealous about it.
5. His passion for art and sciency things.
6. How he always listens to people and their problems, trying to help them out and put them in the right direction. I find it really sweet.
8. How he can easily say his opinion on something and just deal with it.
9. He's always concerned for me. When I'm sick, or upset, he'll always ask about it.
10. The fact that how he can be silly one minute and totally serious the next.
Your song.
I don't think we have a song. I actually asked him about it and both of us have no clue.
How often do you see each other?
We used to see each other every day. But now that it's the summer, I have to have myself lie all the time to get to visit him when I want. It really sucks. Soon there's gonna be a point where I can't see him period, and that frightens me.
What about his friends? What do they have to say about you?
I don't know which people to refer to as his friends. He has his internet buddies, which I have no idea about their opinions of me (I never talk to them because I'm too scared), or his friends from senior year, which I'm pretty sure I don't really know who they are anyway. But if I do, it'll most likely be "meh."
Things you both have in common.
Well, we like art. I set him up with a DA a while ago and he finds use in it, so I'm happy. He also got me into Monster Hunter and Fire Emblem: Awakening (MH is our thing right now).
Things about them that bother you.
I mentioned previously there was a certain tone of voice that I was afraid of. The only period we fought, he used that voice on me, and it made me cry. Honestly, I can remember it perfectly, and I tear up easy about it.
Upcoming plans you have together.
He says once he has a good job he'll be ready to have us move out together and find a place. I'm not sure I can wait, due to certain circumstances, but I have to, and I will, for him.
What is your favorite memory with him/her?
We weren't going out at the time, when I remember going to the Downtown Aquarium (it was a field trip) and I got him to group with me. I didn't even know why, but it made me really happy.
When do you feel closest to him/her.
When we nap and I wake up earlier than he does, he wraps his arms tighter around me. It's very sweet and very comforting.
What you imagine your future with him/her to be.
In the future in our own house, with a family of course. And we would have dogs. A corgi, maybe.
A movie that is special to your relationship.
I don't think we have a special movie. He doesn't watch movies too much and when I do, I'm not with him when it happens.
What you two do together?
We usually talk and just browse DA together, make food, ask questions, anything. We don't go out places.
How long have you been together?
We've been going out for 5 years and 3 months so far. It makes me happy to know this.
What do your friends think of him/her?
They think he's nice and that we should be together in spite of what my parents think. I appreciate this.
What is the next holiday you will celebrate together?
I have no idea. I can hardly see him as it is, and I always end up celebrating holidays with my family anyway... I don't think it will happen.
Describe meeting his/her family.
I've "met" his parents separately, but each time, I wanted to cry. I didn't know what to do, his parents scared me, everything scared me, and I felt totally weird and embarrassed.
What is your favorite thing about him/her?
I love that he's always trying to take care of me. If I'm sick, not eating, tired, he always has something for me to get rid of the negativity I feel.
