“Oh, shush you just want to think that I’m thinking dirty.” she replies rolling her eyes at him. “Of course I know that.. you’re my best friend and boyfriend, I could tell you anything. I’ll keep that in mind for sure.. I’m not embarrassed about them..” she mutters as he kisses the side of her head causing her to smile over at him. Ariella smiles at the blonde, “You’re really confident about that aren’t you?” she questions rising an eyebrow at him looking pure amused that the blonde walk talking about them having babies already. 

Ariella grins, “I know that you do.. which is why I enjoy cooking for you.. And I sure hope that you do..” she mumbles pulling out a box. Inside was a locket with a little camera in the front. Inside the locket was a photograph of the two of them, which had ‘we keep this love in a photograph,’ in it. She shyly handed it over to him as she buries her face in his chest. “Wow, you know me so well.. I totally would pay more attention to her.”

“Of course I do. You know I have a very dirty mind,” he smirked, kissing her ear and pressing closed-mouth kisses chastely up and down her neck. “There’s no reason why you should be embarrassed. The more you tell me about what you like the more I can do for you to make you feel amazing. That includes stuff like cooking and cleaning, for the record. Not just sexy stuff. You can tell me anything you’d like me to do that makes you happy,” he pointed out, nuzzling his nose against the crook of her neck. It felt so warm compared to his relatively cold nose. “And of course I am. I always knew I’d spend my life with you, I just didn’t always know I’d be your future husband.”

Arthur raised an eyebrow, his eyes softening at her little gift. He opened the locket and smiled at the picture, before he shook his head and rubbed her back. “Aw, it’s cute! Not lame at all. I love it,” he promised her, kissing the top of her head and moving his hands so he could clasp the necklace around his neck, and slipped the chain into his many layers. “That’s why I couldn’t bring her. She’d be your Valentine instead of me,” he pouted. Artie smiled and lifted her chin so she was looking at him. “Want me to tell you about the constellations now?” He asked, his hands absently tracing her arms. “Wait,” he said, before he unzipped his big winter jacket and moved his hands to unzip her jacket too, and pulling her tiny body tightly to his. “Much warmer now isn’t it?” He said quietly, kissing the top of her forehead. He slid his hands around her waist in the warm pocket between the jacket and her body, holding her so her face was against his neck.

simplyariella:

“Well, you’ll never figure out my thoughts, so you never know if they were naughty or not.” she teased while wiggling her eyebrows at him. Once his jaw dropped, it caused her to giggle softly as she smiles. “Well, looks like someone’s been taking notes on things that we have in common, hm?” The brunette replies with an amused look upon her face. “Maybe so, who knows I might be your life long partner and you’ll be stuck with me at work and off of work.” she mentions giving him a slight shrug. Once he kissed the tip of her nose, she grins brightly as she glances up at the sky. “It’s already perfect so far.” 

Ariella eyebrow rose as well as she chuckles a bit. “How did you not put it together that it was for you? Though, I did bring extra food because I know that you’re a growing boy and you just oh so love my cooking.” she says a smile still upon her face. Hearing that he liked her gift caused her to clap her hands slightly. “Oh, good, I thought that you wouldn’t like it.. oh I also got you another thing.. but um, it’s kinda lame..” she mumbles before feeling his soft lips touch her cheek causing her to grin a bit. She happily took the last piece of strawberry and ate it. While the blonde was moving things back into the car, she glanced up at the sky and just had a happy gaze. When he got back, she saw that he opened his arms for her to lie down, which she did, cuddling up against his chest. “I know how much you enjoy cuddling.. we should’ve brought our baby.”

“Everything you’re saying is just making it seem more and more like you were thinking dirty things,” he smirked. “You know that you can tell me anything, right? Especially anything that liberates you and makes you feel sexy. Never be embarrassed about the naughty thoughts,” he grinned, kissing the side of her head. Arthur chuckled. “Oh, fuck yeah, I already know you’re going to be my lifelong partner. We’ll do the whole married-with-kids shebang one day,” he informed her. 

Artie chuckled. “You’re right, I do love your cooking. And hey, even if it’s lame, I’m sure I’ll love it. What else did you get me?” He asked kindly, kissing her cheek again. He liked how she cuddled into his chest. “It would have been too cold for Moonshine out here. Besides, with our little kitty here, you wouldn’t pay any attention to me,” he teased.

camdensmithart:

“I’m sure you did.” Cam chuckled. “Don’t get me wrong, it was great! I just… it was hard to be happy. You know? Two pieces of my heart were on the other side of the world.”

“You’re damn right I did,” he grumbled, nudging him. Arthur nodded in understanding. “I don’t think I would be able to enjoy it very much if I was apart from you guys either,” he admitted. “You should have just asked Lucina to go with you.”

[smh-artie]

camdensmithart:

“Yeah, well… it wasn’t making me very happy to be far from you guys…” he mused before shrugging. “I don’t regret leaving early.”

“I missed you more. Definitely more than Lucina missed you,” he declared quickly, before he tapped his thin thoughtfully. “No? Not exactly what you were excepting?”

simplyariella:

“Trust me, I wasn’t thinking of anything naughty,” she says while shoving him slightly as he wiggled his eyebrows making her giggle in delight. “Yeah, that’s the one thing that we have in common.. I still find it funny how you’re studying to be a doctor and I’m studying to become a nurse. Wait, really?” she questions, looking over towards him as her eyes lighten up even more, you could practically see the excitement through her eyes as she swallows the strawberry that he fed her. “You did all that for me?” 

Ariella let out a squeal as she felt his teeth slightly touch her finger when he ate the strawberry. “Yeah, I got you something.. and I actually did sneak it in the back of your car, I’m surprise that you didn’t know about it.” she says while climbing off of his lap and out of the trunk to open get his gift. Minutes later, she came out with a nicely wrapped gift basket that she made herself and handed it over towards him before climbing back in the trunk and getting comfortable in his lap once again. “Inside the gift basket is a bunch of your favorite things.. I’ve also made a little scrapbook of our memories and there’s a new watch inside.” she explains, glancing up at him. “Yeah, I guess so.” she nods while pulling her face away from his. “I’m okay, I promise,” she giggles as she leans against him. “Plus, if I’m cold, then I’m sure that you’ll cuddle me.”

“That just makes it sound like you were,” he sang. Artie’s jaw dropped. “Hey, we have way more in common than liking studying. We both like cloud watching! And we both like strawberries. And you’re my absolutely stunning and gorgeous model and I know you secretly like being my model! I like you being my model, so that’s another thing. Plus, music, duh! We both like music.” He pouted. “But yeah. I think it’s nice. Maybe one day we’ll even work in the same hospital.” He nodded, happy to see how excited she was, and kissed the tip of his nose. “Yeah, of course! I told you I would give you the best Valentine’s Day ever.”

Artie raised an eyebrow, his smile widening as she hopped back on the hood beside him again. “Honestly, I saw you putting that in the car. I don’t know why I didn’t realise it was my present. I was like, ‘oh yeah, that’s probably just some extra food or something’,” he admitted sheepishly. He inspected the basket with a wide smile on his face before he leaned over and pressed a gentle kiss to her cheek. “I love it. Thank you so much,” he murmured, before eating another strawberry and feeding her the last one, and taking the box and his present back into his car. When he returned, he moved to lie down on the blanket and opened his arms for her so she could lie down too. “You know that I’m always down for cuddles, babe.”

[smh-artie]

camdensmithart:

“Stoooop..” He murmured, pulling away from him. “Just because I’m not smart in the same way doesn’t make me an idiot.” He grumbled

“Yeah, yeah, alright. You know I don’t think you’re dumb. I just can’t believe you’d give up an opportunity like that because you missed us,” he smiled, shaking his head. “You sentimental ol’ puppy.”

[smh-artie]

camdensmithart:

“I lied… I didn’t finish the work and classes early…I just left early… I missed you both, and Ari, so much that I just couldn’t anymore. I could be so far away from you guys anymore. I just couldn’t do it. I know I’m lame for saying that but its true…”

Artie’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. “You left early?” He said. Personally, he would have finished the course, but he knew his brother was more sentimental than he was. “Oh, Cam,” he smiled, shaking his head a bit and pulling his brother into a headlock to ruffle his hair. “You’re a loveable idiot, you know that?”

simplyariella:

Ariella gives her boyfriend a look before rising an eyebrow at what he said. “You know what, I’m not even going to answer that.” she replies as she playfully shoves him. As he kissed her cheek, she eased and gave him a smile as he looks down at the chocolates, her eyes widening a bit before looking back up at him. “That honestly sounds super amazing.. I’m happy that you’re willing to do this with me. I know that it could be boring, but yeah.. and really? You brushed up on constellations just for me?” she questions her eyes lighting up even more as she took a bit of the strawberry. 

She rests her head upon his shoulder and just enjoys the moment with him.. this was technically their first date as a couple and it was nice. She took one strawberry and held it up towards his lips just like he did to her before. Hearing his voice caused her to glance over towards him and motioned for him to go on. Hearing what he said caused her to chuckle a bit. “It’s okay.. but I did get you something, now that you’ve brought it up.” she says giving her a smile. “Don’t waste your money on it, it’s okay.” she promises while leaning over to give him a kiss upon his cheek. “I love you too, dork.”

“Your silence makes me think you were thinking something naughty, Ella,” he teased, waggling his eyebrows. “And of course! You know I love learning, and I found a bunch of cool articles on this stuff anyway. Apparently, just before midnight, we should be able to see Mars. That’s pretty cool, isn’t it?” He grinned, happily feeding her the strawberry. “I even remembered some of the stories behind the constellations for you, in case you wanted to know about them.”

Artie grinned and ate the proferred strawberry in one bite. “You got me something? Do you have it here?” He asked curiously, eyes lighting up in a manner similar to a kid on Christmas. “And okay. I got you those pretty roses though, so that makes up for it, right?” He chuckled, smiling more when she kissed his cheek. His eyes softened as he fiddled with her scarf and little hat with one hand. “Are you warm enough?” He fussed, fiddling with the zipper on her jacket. He held her hands in his and kissed them. “Do you need gloves? I brought some in the car...”

thewelshglynn:

“They do, but I disagree with them, that’s not what makes them happy, havin’ financial stability is good, but what it matters if one hates their job?” he hoped that those people would see that it was not the most important thing, and go look for a job they love. “You seem really happy with her, I’m really happy for you” he said with a small smile, glad the other found someone like that. “Yeah, I did”

“Totally. I mean, I get doing a job you hate if the job you love isn’t giving you a life you can be happy with, but I can’t understand going from the job you love for a more successful job you hate.” He grinned. “Yeah... Anyone especially special in your life?” He asked curiously. Arthur nodded. “Well, then I hope this place has been good for you.”

[smh-artie]

camdensmithart:

Cam sighed before shrugging. “See, this is why you’re the smart twin…” He murmured. “I just…. I lover her a lot, you know? And it was really hard being away from her. If I tell you something… will you promise not to tell her? Or anyone? I mean it.”

“Duh,” Arthur grinned, slinging his arm over Cam’s shoulders as they walked along. “I know,” he said gently. “You guys haven’t ever been separated for so long. The most before this was, what, a month? Two months? And hey, what do you take me for? I wouldn’t tell your secrets to people. What’s on your mind?”

sillybrooke:

―― “Oh my god, one of my exes who I still talk to is so into that. He’s called me up crying because one of his favorite character’s died and he didn’t know how to fix his mistake. ” She watches him and tries not to show the grin she’d been biting back at his sweet ignorance. “ If people pay extra, they definitely can get my own short, private films, yeah. But it’s a little different than a nice picture of a fence or something. ”

“Holy shit, why would you dump a guy who likes Fire Emblem? I bet he fucking cried when Emmeryn fuckin’ fell into the valley as a valiant and selfless sacrifice for the good of her people. I always played as newcomer, though, because I hated losing characters,’ he admitted. Arthur still didn’t quite know what she meant - he had a vague inkling that perhaps she meant something on the porn-y side of things, but he felt it would be rude to ask her outright if she was some kind of camgirl, so he stuck to his more innocent opinion. “A private film? Like, you do a personalised film with their ideas or something?” He tapped his chin. “I mean, I don’t take photos of fences. I usually have some kind of model - most often my girlfriend - so... is that the same with you? Do you do some kind of cool, model-ly photo stuff?”

Hey, don’t look so grumpy. You’ll scare away customers more than the smell of dead guy in here. C’mon, give us a smile. Just like this.

thewelshglynn:

“Of course, but I was talkin’ ‘bout the ones that choose money over happiness, some even quite their current job, that they love, to go to another one ‘cause it gives them more money” he actually have met people like before, they confused him, but he doesn’t judge them. “I know her, actually, I talked to her before, she seems to be a really nice person” he smiled at him. “I just have bad memories from there, it reminds me ‘bout what happened ta my parents”

“Ah yeah, I understand. I suppose they think financial stability will make them happy,” he mused. He grinned, clearly happy at the thought of his best-friend-turned-girlfriend. “Yeah, she’s a cutie. A little walking ray of sunshine.” Arthur’s face softened and he patted the other comfortingly on the back. “Ah,” he said sympathetically. “Did you come here for a new start, then?”

victoria-carson:

Victoria groaned playfully from when he pulled her into his chest. She shook her head and licked her lips. “I know but I just don’t want - I don’t know. I’ve heard that people are calling me a s..- a slut… Why? I don’t really know? Maybe hugging you would have been like a step too much.” She rolled her eyes. “I don’t know if I want to talk about it.. because I mean I kinda do - with you - because again me and you have been friends since the beginning of camp and I trust you.” She let out a breath as she sat down beside Artie, beginning her rant. “I guess I - I cried enough already at home, by myself, so I won’t end up crying I don’t think. I realized I was alone again and all the feelings - good feelings to be exact - are gone. I feel empty again, I feel like the old Victoria, the one before she met him. The cold one with no soul what so ever.” She looked down, unable to look at Artie since she was clearly showing her weak side, a side she did not like. “When I got the letter from him saying he l-left.. I was with someone. Someone who I am growing fond of. I know - maybe that’s why people are calling me a slut? Because I met someone? But then again I haven’t slept with him or kissed him or shown any affection for that matter.” She frowned. “I don’t get it. And I know it shouldn’t get to me and believe me it hasn’t, I think it’s pretty stupid but at the same time it confuses me, like do they actually know what a slut really is? Artie you know I’m one to shut people out, but Sydney is someone else and I showed him my weak side and he didn’t judge me for it or anything. Of course I was embarrassed since it rarely happens but.. it was nice. He’s nice.” She finally looked up to meet Artie’s gaze. “I promise you I wan’t propositioning you.” She assured. 

Arthur’s nostrils flared and he protectively hugged her tighter. “Who fucking called you a slut?” He demanded, pulling back and staring at her seriously. He would never go to beat them up or anything, but he needed to know who Tori should avoid in the future so that he never accidentally made group plans involving them. “You’re not a slut, Tori. That’s an awful word that demeans you. You are worth more than your sex life, Victoria.” He sighed and leaned forward with his elbows on his knees, massaging his temples with his fingertips as he tried to process everything. Freddy was out of the picture, and Sydney was in the picture. She felt alone and empty but Sydney helped with that. She was insecure again. Artie leaned back and gave her a weak smile. “Oh, Flower. Don’t ever feel ashamed for liking somebody, unless they’re not somebody who can consent. Tell me exactly what’s wrong, okay? Don’t tell me what Sydney is fixing for you, tell me what you need me to fix for you.”

simplyariella:

“I don’t know, maybe you want to try and be the dominant one in this relationship?” she mumbles glancing up at him knowing that her past relationship she pretty much had no say in anything. “You’re just saying that because I kiss you and you’re my boyfriend,” she mumbles looking at him. When the two arrived back at home, she heads into the kitchen and instantly began preparing food for the both of them. Feeling someone come up being her and kiss her cheek caused her to smile softly while glancing over towards him before looking down at the rose. “It is,” she nods giving him a shy smile, giggling at the wink. “I’d love to be your Valentine.”

“Baby, unless we both agree to it, there’s no such thing as the ‘dominant’ one. Our relationship isn’t either one of us controlling the other. It’s about us communicating about what we like and don’t like and how we can make the other as happy and confident as possible,” he said gently. “Hey, you’re such a liar. I thought you were sexy way before I even realised that I like you,” he said playfully, tapping her nose with a finger. Arthur grinned and leaned down to bump his nose affectionately against hers, moving his hands to her hips to hold loosely. “Well, this is momentous, isn’t it? Our first official date. And our first official Valentine’s. I’ll be sure to make it extra special for you.”

simplyariella:

In her past life, she only had two boyfriends ever, including Artie it would be three. None of them really did anything special for her for Valentine’s day, so when Artie asked her to be his, it caused her to happily accept the offer. She would be lying if she didn’t say that she was beyond excited, she knew that Artie knew her like the back of his hand, so she knew that he had planned something great for the two of them. He always had  planned great things and the fact that he won’t tell her a thing was getting to her, she just wanted to know so badly. 

Ariella sat in the passengers side, glancing out the window as the blonde drove out of the community towards some place that didn’t really look familiar which caused her to worry a bit. However, she calmed herself down knowing that he isn’t anything like her old boyfriend. As he had their hands intertwined, she uses her other hand to play with his larger one, something that she grown to do a whole lot. When they arrived at the place, she glances around and rises an eyebrow slightly before getting out of the car. While she was distracted staring at nature, what she grown to love, she didn’t notice how Artie was laying out a blanket. When he placed his hands upon her waist, she wraps it around his neck slightly, gazing into his eyes as she nods happily. “Ready as i’ll ever be.” she mumbles as he rub their noses together. When he brought the two of them to the back, she instantly notices the blanket, which caused her eyes to spark in excitement. “Are we doing what I think we’re doing!?” she exclaims happily as he climbs in the back and into his lap. “I love it.”

Arthur grinned at her enthusiastic reaction and rested his chin on her shoulder as he wrapped his arms around her. “That depends on what you think we’re doing,” he said suggestively, throwing her a wink. The blond kissed her cheek, before he grabbed the box and opened it to reveal the chocolates. “I thought we could stargaze, since it’s similar to cloudwatching but just a little different. Just like how us dating is similar to us being friends, but just a little different. I even brushed up on my constellations for you,” he said proudly, before holding up a strawberry to her lips to feed her.

He hummed lightly, content to hold her in his arms for a little while. He figured they could lie back and look at the stars when they finished the strawberries. “I have a confession,” he told her, still absently nuzzling his nose against her neck and cheek. “I was so busy planning this that I kind of forgot to get you a gift,” he said sheepishly. “I just wanted this to be perfect for you and stuff. But I can buy you a gift later, if you want one,” he promised her, before he grinned in a charmingly awkward manner. “...Love you?”

Dax takes a look around the bakery, scanning his eyes over the options on the menu. He rubs his tired eyes, the text on the menu a little hard for him to read at the moment. He figures he shouldn’t have spent the entire night researching. Unlike his current vision, hindsite’s 20/20. He turns to the cashier. “I run on coffee and sass. I’ve got plenty of the latter, but I could really use a good cup of the former.”

[smh-artie]

Artie was humming to himself and scrolling through a saved PDF of one of his textbooks on his phone as he waited in line at the coffee shop. He chuckled a bit when he heard the person in front of him ordering, but didn’t think too much on the familiar sounding voice. After placing his own order of a flat white - with four sugars, because he was a baby and couldn’t handle real coffee - he stood off to the side to wait for the order to be completed. It was then that he noticed the familiar voice belong to a familiar head of red hair... Suspiciously, Artie turned to look at his face, and his jaw dropped. “Dax Dixon!” He exclaimed, eyes widening in surprise. “Who the fuck let you in here?” He grinned stepping forward to hug him tightly.
