"i know you're not a fan of flashy stuff, but i think you deserve to be spoiled too pumpkin..." you smiled sheepishly as you passed klitz the small gift-wrapped box. klitz raised his eyebrows in anticipation before opened the box and saw the gold watch. he smiled genuinely and looked at you with eyes full of adoration.
"you must have had to save up your allowance for this, i really appreciate it bunny." he spoke softly and you could see a tinge of red on his cheeks. you giggled and nodded.
"i'd rather buy you one nice thing than buy myself a hundred." you shrugged happily. "you're always spoiling me, you never take the time to spoil yourself but someone should." you remarked as you gently took the watch out and fastened it to his wrist. "it looks great on you!"
klitz raised his arm and adjusted the time on it, all while smiling shyly at your words.
"i'm celebrating my anniversary with the most beautiful, amazing girl i could be lucky enough to have. i'm spoiled as it is, bunny." he finished his statement with a kiss on your temple that made your heart thump against your chest.
"thank you for your present, honey bunny. can i give you yours now?"
you nodded enthusiastically and klitz chuckled as he pulled out a small rectangular box with the signature blue you knew and loved. you gasped as he undid the white bow and took out a delicate string of pearls.
"they're beautiful, pumpkin." you said softly, in absolutely awe. you looked up at him with shine-covered eyes. "can you put them on for me?"
klitz nodded and you lifted your hair, giving him access to your neck. he did the clasp of the necklace up then placed a kiss on your bare nape.
"i think the girl wearing them is more beautiful." he murmured in your ear and your face warmed. he pulled away with a sheepish expression. "i have to confess they're not the only present i got for you..." you furrowed your brows in confusion as you watched him stand up and go into his office, before returning with a big black book. "i know it's kinda silly, but i thought now was the right time to give it to you."
he set the book down on your lap and you opened it curiously. the first page contained a Polaroid shot of the two of you dressed as Pumpkin and Honey Bunny/Yolanda from Pulp Fiction on your first Halloween together. the shot made you smile as you recalled getting Eli to take it outside the diner where you had all ended the night. below the shot, in Klitz's neat handwriting were the words "my partner in crime for life." as you progressed through the book tickets to movie dates he'd taken you to, other memorability and more photographs filled the pages, each with an annotation on how klitz remembered the event or how it reminded him of why he loved you. every receipt, ticket stub and pressed flower from your picnic dates made your heart swell until by the last page there were tears filling your eyes.
"klitzy, it's so nice." you sniffled and he rubbed your arm comfortingly. he kissed your cheek and held you close.
"i wanted to show you how much you mean to me." he murmured and you sniffled harder. "don't cry honey bun..." he soothed you gently.
"they're happy tears klitzy." you giggled wetly. "i can't believe im so lucky to be with you." once you calmed down you looked at the final page and saw it was an excerpt from a script you both knew well. printed on the paper was the simple exchange of "i love you, pumpkin" and "i love you, honey bunny" but it meant so much more to you. you looked through the scrapbook one more time, smiling fondly to yourself before you finally closed it and stood up.
"i actually got you something else too." you confessed, grinning excitedly. klitz chuckled at your excitement and watched you scutter off to the spare room. you returned with a white box with a clear top, showing what looked like hundreds of tiny envelopes. you set the box down on klitz's lap and he opened it curiously. he picked up an envelope at random and opened it, a strip of text in the style of a fortune cookie fluttering out.
klitz smiled at the message then opened another envelope where the text read "i love how patient you are". as he opened more and more envelopes his smile widened, each one describing another thing you loved about him. eventually he decided he would save some to surprise himself on another day, but he'd read enough to feel his love for you grow even more.
"you are the most amazing person i could have ever asked for. i don't understand how i got so lucky, honey bunny."
"i think i'm the lucky one, pumpkin."
