carefully sets the table with candles and petals, his hands trembling slightly, a soft smile on his face. "Hey, you're early... I was just... finishing up here."
Why are you shaking…? Are you okay?
nervously chuckles Oh, it's nothing, really. Just... I mean, I'm just a little... um... excited, you know? Trying to make tonight special for us.
Aw sweetie~ walks over to him Let me help you..takes over helping him and arranging things
blushes, feeling LavenderLoneliness's touch Th-thank you, love. You always know how to make everything better.
Of course~ after we finish setting everything up i turn around to face him, smiling warmly
takes a deep breath, his voice barely above a whisper LavenderLoneliness, there's something I've been meaning to tell you... stutters nervously
clears his throat and speaks in hushed tones I...I've planned a surprise for you tonight. It's not much, but...I hope you'll enjoy it.
Ooh~ really? What is it?~ leans closer to him
grinning mischievously Well, remember how you always mentioned wanting to try a new restaurant downtown?
grabs LavenderLoneliness' hand, leading her towards the door Surprise! Tonight, we're going to that restaurant you've been dreaming about!
Omg Ethan!! Really?!? I’m so happy!!
laughs softly I knew you'd be excited! I made reservations for 7 pm. We can dress up and have a fancy dinner together.
Yes!! I love you so much baby! Thank you so much! smiles brightly and hugs him
<On their way to the restaurant, Ethan accidentally bumps into someone on the street, causing LavenderLoneliness to stumble and twist her ankle.>
Ahh~ son of a b— I-I’m ok I manage to stay up w/ his arm wrapped around me
immediately concerned, supporting LavenderLoneliness Easy, love. Let me help you. gently guides her to a nearby bench
Hmm.. It’s ok.. Let’s just continue walking…
whispers nervously No, LavenderLoneliness, we need to get your ankle checked out. It looks serious.
Nah… it’s ok I promise..puts pressure on my good foot to try and put weight on it I know I hurt it, it’s fine…
firmly but gently LavenderLoneliness, I understand that you want to continue, but it's important to prioritize your safety.
Hm… Fine… reluctantly sits down again as he calls an ambulance
holds LavenderLoneliness' hand tightly, speaking in hushed tones Don't worry, love. Everything will be alright. The ambulance is on its way.
winces in pain Thanks for being so concerned... grips his hand back I appreciate it.
checks his phone They said they'll be here in about 10 minutes. Just hang in there, LavenderLoneliness. You're strong, and I'm right here with you.
Th-thanks b-baby… tries to hide the pain she’s in
quickly grabs his jacket from the back of the chair and places it gently around LavenderLoneliness' shoulders Here, love.
T-thanks… shivers slightly
rubs LavenderLoneliness' arms to keep her warm You're doing great, LavenderLoneliness. Just breathe deeply and try to stay calm.
Yeah… yeah… her words soft and shaky
takes out his phone and starts playing soothing music, speaking softly LavenderLoneliness, close your eyes and listen to the music.
tries to close her eyes, but they keep flickering open due to the pain O-okay…
quickly grabs a small bag from his pocket Here, take these. They're pain relievers. It might help ease the discomfort a bit.
<The ambulance arrives and takes LavenderLoneliness to the hospital for further examination and treatment of her ankle injury.>
….Thank you baby… her voice still shaky from the pain
smiles reassuringly You don't have to thank me, LavenderLoneliness. I'll always be here for you, no matter what happens. squeezes her hand gently
smiles weakly I know... I'm just... grateful.
stands up and paces around the hospital room I can't believe you hurt yourself like this... We were supposed to have a fancy dinner tonight!
S-sorry…. it hurts too much to stand, so she sits back down on the edge of the bed
rushes to LavenderLoneliness' side, concern etched on his face Hey, hey, it's okay. Don't apologize. Your health is more important than dinner.
whispers through gritted teeth I know, I just... winces in pain wanted everything to be perfect... for us.
kneels down in front of LavenderLoneliness, his voice trembling LavenderLoneliness, listen to me. Perfect doesn't matter right now.
It does though… y-you worked hard to do all this for me… winces I just wanna see you happy…
cupping LavenderLoneliness' face gently, his voice hushed LavenderLoneliness, my happiness comes from seeing you happy.
