Where’d you wanna go? How much you wanna risk? I’m not looking for somebody with some superhuman gif
Who: Ernie and Hannah
When: Bits and pieces from all day - October 21, 2009
Where: the flat, out to dinner & the flat again
What: ANNIVERSARY THINGS! (long posts, short thread)
Warnings: Pretty PG, mentions of intimacy
It was their anniversary and Hannah could hardly believe it had been a whole year. They’d moved in together, gone through some pretty unexpected situations - like an estranged father, a false alarm and health issues, barely seeing each other at the beginning of the new school year - but they made it so far and they were going to celebrate.
At first she wanted to go all out, but Ernie had gone above and beyond with the rooftop garden for Hannah, and she in turn gave Ernie the experience of a lifetime in Africa. They’d both had an embarrassment of riches in the gift department so, the anniversary would be all about the two of them - and that would be it. Because, of course, what more did they need?
Hannah made them breakfast after a good lie-in before getting ready to go out for the duration of the Saturday. The weather was gorgeous - chilly but sunny in the early Autumn day. Just like every day though, Hannah only had eyes for Ernie and in some instances while they were out, she thought back to that day, a year earlier. At one point she remembered being excited, then nervous… and when it was the dinner hour and they’d gone out to eat, she remembered getting ready for the Inaugural Ball, wondering if she looked nice.
The ball itself had been magical and Hannah didn’t want to keep her feelings to herself anymore, spilling them when they’d gotten some air. To her surprise, Ernie had felt the same way. She was shaking her head while they ate and vividly remembered the look on his face when he’d said that he loved her as well. It still made her heart beat so hard, made her head spin, like she was in some sort of dream.
Their anniversary dinner had been so lovely, and the pair had talked more than they ate, and had far too much sparkling wine - giving everything a hazy, pleasant glow. Hannah couldn’t stop smiling as they walked back to the flat in the chilly night air only to barely stumble inside their home, kissing madly all the way to the bedroom.
It was like the first time all over again, when they’d gone to Antigua over Christmas break, and it was Hannah’s actual first time, with her real and true first love. Ernie was as beautiful as ever. Strong yet tender, holding her so close through every movement, every touch, making love to her just how he knew she liked it… loved it. Fingers were intertwined and roaming, clutching at soft flesh and trailing through silky locks of hair. Hushed, soft gasps rang out through the room, the couple covered in a dewy glow, not being able to get close enough to one another before they were both spent and panting from exertion. Hannah had never felt anything like what she was feeling right then - utterly and completely loved, fulfilled and content knowing Ernie felt the same.
Lying together in their bed, tangled up in the sheets and each other, Hannah had noticed the letter that she’d written to Ernie, and placed on his bedside table, hadn’t been opened yet. So, kissing him, and reaching over, she took up the letter and gave it to him before stealing away in a small silk bathrobe to the kitchen for more sparkling wine.
Hannah remembered every word she wrote, and recalled them as she poured the wine:
Ernie,
I don’t know if I’ve ever told you, but this time last year, I was a nervous wreck. I was in love with you so completely and I had no clue what to do. To tell you and risk everything we’d built together for so long took every bit of strength I possessed. Because had it turned out differently, I don’t know how I could go on without you in my life. I was so scared and apprehensive, hoping beyond everything that you would love me and want to be with me just as much as I wanted to be with you.
I guess we both know how it turned out though, don’t we?? You even welcomed me into your home and made it our home. Somehow you manage to make me happier each day we’re together...I don’t know if you know that either, but you do, and I want to spend every day waking up next to you.
This past year has brought many surprises, but knowing that you would be there through anything, with a calm comforting hand and a voice of reason, it makes everything so much better. You make every good day better, and every dark day brighter. No one in the world knows me better than you do. I say all of this because you need to know, and I’m not sure if I say it enough. I would do anything for you, no questions asked, nothing expected in return because you already love me, support me, and make me a better person just from knowing you.
All of this to say I love you, with all my heart, soul, mind and body and I’ll keep living every day with the goal of making you inexplicably happy, because you deserve all of that and more.
All My Love, Always,
Hannah
Strolling quietly back into the bedroom with wine in hand, Hannah had tears in her eyes remembering everything she was feeling while writing that letter, and to see Ernie just finishing reading it, made those tears spill over happily. “Happy anniversary, Ernie…”
