~~~~~~~~

It was another quiet night where Aidan was working on his laptop in bed, cozying up to the warmth of his blankets. He looked over at his door every few seconds or so, hoping, waiting for his sweet girl to walk through and tell him goodnight. And maybe, even stay by his side for the night.

(Y/n) had warmed up to him again, accepting his affection, especially during late nights where she would come home late from working. The brunette will always be there for her to ease her to sleep knowing how much she struggles to get some rest.

Aidan perks up when he hears soft patters beyond the door before his door slowly opens to see his girl peek her head through. "Hey..." he whispers softly with a sweet smile, saving his work and shutting his laptop to place it to the side before pulling the blankets up for her.

She pads over sleepily and climbs into bed with him, snuggling into his side as he lays them down in bed. He holds her tight, an arm around her waist with the other combing through her hair gently to ease her asleep. His heart flutters when she hugs him back, knowing that he was going to be her pillow for tonight and he didn't mind.

"Long day?" He muses quietly, earning a simple nod.

"Just tired..." she breathes out and he hums in understanding, thinking that it might be a good idea now to tell her his plans of taking her out on a date. To let her relax from the stress of work and hopefully, hopefully, be able to tell her how much he loves her again. To ask her to be his again, to ask her if she would have him again.

"Hey, I asked Jeff and Steve for the next couple weeks off before we get thrown into the premier and all."

"Really? Why?"

"I wanted to ask you out. On a date I mean..." Aidan blushes when he said that almost sheepishly, his heart thumping in nervousness like it was the first time he was asking (y/n) to go out with him. Even though it wasn't their first. And certainly not their last. "I mean, we don't have to if you don't want to but I would really love to-"

"-Aidan." The boy gulps when his girl chuckles softly from his anxious spew of words, looking up at him so softly from his chest, a sweet look she doesn't know she gives him but it has him fall for her every damn time. "That sounds like fun. I want to go out with you too..." now it was her turn to flush and he beams brightly, kissing her cheek and he relishes against her warmth on his lips.

"How about tomorrow night? I already have everything planned out." He clears his throat in embarrassment that he had planned it all already and was willing to risk it all if his girl said no.

"Sounds good. I can't wait." She smiles, laying back down with a smile on her face and the brunette sighs in relief, kissing the top of her head.

"Me too..." he whispers against her hair, pulling the blanket up higher over her to let her sleep. "Just sleep for now (y/n)." Aidan says, peering down at her sweetly as she lays her head against his chest, her shoulders relaxing against him as she slowly dozes off to sleep.

"I love you more than my guitars, (y/n). I love you more than anything actually..."

~~~~~~~~

Aidan had woken up early from excitement, eager for the night to finally come where he can spoil his girl and show her his live for her. He slowly got up, not wanting to wake her up as she laid sound asleep in his arms, his sweetheart that laid on his chest and held his hand while she slept. He  strokes her cheek sweetly, kissing the top of her head before undertaking the mission of trying to slip from under her.

The brunette carefully placed her head on the pillow, stopping shirt when she scrunches her nose but sighs in relief that she was still asleep as he got out from bed. He fist pumped the air in the achievements his ears turning pink from the dorky move but shook it off to freshen up before padding downstairs to the kitchen to make a few calls. He needed to make sure everything was set and ready for tonight, making sure the gifts were delivered, the dress had arrived, the jewellery, shoes, the driver.

Everything had to be perfect.

Aidan sat on the couch as he was in the call with the hotel owner, making sure their reservations for dinner had been confirmed and that their menu was set. He hoped that their private booth would be away from the general public, hiring live musicians to play for their night. The brunette had been working nonstop to make everything perfect, replying back to emails and checking reservations but he didn't realise how tired he was. The poor boy slowly dozed off to sleep with the checklist in hand, forgetting to make breakfast for his girl who had woken up in the cold without him.

(Y/n) sat up with a yawn, reaching for the space next to her to realise that it was empty and furrows her brows before climbing out of bed to freshen up. She walked out of the bedroom once she was all ready, looking for her pillow that had woken up before her. "Aidan...?" She yawns out as she walks down the stairs, seeing his tufts of brown hair from the couch and peeks over to see him fast asleep while sitting up. She winced from how uncomfortable he must be with his head bowed and reaches over to gently move him down to lay on the couch before making her breakfast. And his coffee as well.

She brought the dishes over to the coffee table when she was all done, carefully sitting down next to Aidan. She smiles warmly at him as he simply slept, brushing his hair back and brushing her fingers against his cheek lovingly. Oh how she cares so much for him, to see him without worry or pain, to only see him at peace and with that beautiful smile of his.

She admired his dimple and his beauty spots, the faint scruff on his face, his lovely hair, just him, just all of him. It was hard to explain how she would do anything to see him smile, do anything for him, do anything to be by his side, to be with him. All she wanted was to sit with him and just be able to admire the life in his smile and his eyes.

"Aidan..." she whispers, coaxing him awake as her thumb brushed over his cheek, running her thumb over his jaw and the bridge of his nose u til he slowly fluttered his eyes open.

Aidan swore he saw an angel, smiling ever so sweetly at his sweetheart as she chuckles and holds his hands to pull him up, have him sit up but all he wanted was for her to caress his cheeks like she was doing before. "Don't stop." His voice croaks softly, holding her hands to place them back on his cheeks and he watches her with shining eyes at how she adored him, at how she gently ran her fingers across his skin like she was trying to memorise his features.

"You fell asleep on the couch." She muses and the brunettes ears turn pink.

"Shit, I did." He stands up but gets pulled back down by his girl who tuts. "But your breakfast-"

"-I already had something to eat Aidan. I'm fine." She nods over to the dishes, grabbing the cup of coffee she made for him. "Made you your coffee."

"Hell yeah...!" The brunette gasps in excitement, loving how his sweetheart made his coffee that he has started to ask her to make for him every morning when she can.

"What is all this?" (Y/n) asks, peering at the papers and Aidan organises them in a pile after he set his cup down, taking hold of her hands and pulling her up on her feet. "Aidan?" She raises a brow at him and he just beams at her, taking her to her bedroom.

"I have something for you."

"What did you do?" She sighs with a smile, the bit in front of her jumping in excitement as she walks into her room to see a beautifully wrapped gift box sitting on her bed. "Aidan, what is this?" She gasps, smoothing down the wrapping paper and toying with the ribbons.

"Everything is sorted for tonight. I got this for you when you get ready. I'll see you downstairs." The brunette zips out of the room before his sweetheart could say anything else, blinking at the shut door before turning back to the box to lift the lid.

(Y/n) gasped when she saw this beautiful shimmering red gown in the box, a pair of earrings, a purse and shoes to match with it.

"Holy shit..." she pulls everything out of the box, carefully holding the dress up against her to see the gorgeous fabric shine under the light. It was this elegant A-Line wine red velvet dress with a shimmery fabric. It was off shoulder and had a lace wrap on the back. "That boy didn't!" The girl grins with a flush, bubbling up with excitement as she rushed to freshen up and get ready for tonight. She would be lying if she said she wasn't excited.

Night quickly falls and Lauren was trying to calm down her son as he paced his bedroom, amused at how nervous he was for tonight. She found it cute that even now her son was so eager to see his girlfriend.

"What if she doesn't like tonight? What if I ruined it? What if-"

"-Aidan," Lauren holds her son by his shoulders to stop him, chuckling softly as she fixed his collar. "she's going to love it. You know she cares about you a lot. We all can see it. You both worked so hard to bridge the gap between you both. She's not going to say no."

"How do you know? How-"

"-loving someone is a choice, it's the work you put into it. It's the effort that you display continuously for the one you care about. She hasn't stopped loving you even after what happened with you and Hannah." The brunette grimaces as he thinks about that two faced- "-anyway, I think it's time you go pick up your girlfriend."

Aidan whips his head around to check the time and his eyes widen that it was already time, dashing out of his room with the bouquet of flowers he got and stood in front of (y/n)'s bedroom. Before he could even knock, the door swings open to reveal his frantic girl as she was about to rush out since she though she was late for the date.

"Shit-oh Aidan!" She gasps, almost bumping into him but he doesn't hear her when he was so lost from her beauty, in awe of how gorgeous she looks in that dress. He was absolutely stumped, his knees faltering and his hands getting clammy.

My hearts racing. Why is my heart racing!?

Say something to her!

His mouth opens but no words in the dictionary would ever be able to describe how in love he is with her.

(Y/n) blushes as Aidan stood there with dilated eyes, his ears turning pink and her stomach flutters from how handsome he looks. He was almost unreal in that fitted soft grey suit with his collar tucked and the first button undone. His hair was a soft wild mess that she loved, amazed at the black roses he held in his hand.

"How did you get black roses!?"

How did he know I like them?

"You're so beautiful..." the boy sighs out dreamily, not hearing the question his sweetheart asked him and her cheeks flare red. She takes the roses shyly, enjoying their lovely scent.

"You look very handsome Aidan." She breathes out shyly, the boy blinking out of his trance. It was just so hard to not take his eyes off her in that damn red gown of hers.

"Shall we?" Aidan held out his hand for her, waiting for her response and for her permission to be able to hold her. His heart kept when (y/n) softly moved to place her hand on top of his, him pulling her hand up to kiss the back of it with a bright smile.

"Yes, let's go." She stutters and he chuckles softly, holding her hand in his with entwined fingers as they walked down the steps together. He held her waist as they went down to make sure she was ok, her passing the flowers to his mother before they both left the house for their ride that was waiting for them. "You didn't...!" Outside waiting for them was a black hummer limo. "Aidan! You need to stop!" She wacks his arm but he just laughs.

"Never!"

He had hired this hummer ever since his sweetheart told him the story of her dad making her miss out on her friends sweet 16th where she hired a pink hummer to pick up all her friends. She never got to experience riding in one so this was the perfect opportunity.

"M'lady." Aidan grins as he walks over to open the door for (y/n), her rolling her eyes with a smile before walking over to get in. She presses a kiss on his cheek before she settles in, making the brunette melt against the car door with a goofy smile before he jumps back up and gently shuts the door. He rushes over to get in the passenger side, buckling in next to his sweetheart who looked like she was buzzing in excitement and that made him so happy. He couldn't help but kiss her cheek back, making her blush and he loved the way she looks shyly at him as she held her cheek. He kisses her nose and her forehead making her turn red before settling back in the car with her as the car drove off.

~~~~~~~~

"Aidan... what the fuck..." (y/n) gapes as she looked out the window once they arrived at their destination, a luxurious hotel standing before them that shone gold and marble. She was absolutely stunned as the brunette simply got out of the car and rounded the corner to open her door, smiling at him as she held his outstretched hand to help her out the car.

Aidan... oh good lord... his eyes fluttered closed when his sweetheart walked past him, hit with that beautiful floral scent from her and his head just follows her along until he stumbles away from the car to follow her. He catches himself and quickly walks ahead to open the door for her, earning that precious smile from her that he absolutely adores.

(Y/n) gasps when she walks into the foyer, her heels clicking against the gold and marble stone of the beautiful hotel, glowing by the chandelier hanging above them. She was distracted by the ethereal scene as her boyfriend sneaked past her to check them into the restaurant. The brunette turns around to admire his sweetheart, the way she was in awe as she slowly turned around the chandelier, just looking so beautiful under the golden light like the star she is. He walks up to her and gently takes her hand, her following looking at him with those sweet doe eyes of hers.

"Ready to go?" He asks and she nods, letting him take her along through the hallway through double doors that were opened for them by bellboys.

(Y/n) couldn't calm her racing heart as she looked at Aidan from behind, in that suit of his that filled out from his figure, holding her hand with strength but also gentleness and pulling her along with him. The doors at the end of the hallway open to reveal a dim but calming atmosphere, the elegant restaurant catered by waiters that immediately took them to their private dining room. The dark doors opened to reveal the lovely dark mahogany table lit with a candelabra and flowers, the brunette walking around the table to pull out a chair for his sweetheart, smiling when she thanks him and he leans down to peck her cheek as she sits down before he walks over to sit in his chair just opposite her.

"Aidan, this is amazing!" (Y/n) still couldn't believe her eyes, letting the Aidan do everything for her as he ordered her favourite drink and what she wanted to eat for dinner. She smiles at him as she held her head in her hands, watching how the brunette talked to the servers with this authority but kindness, thanking them as they brought over their first entree.

The couple enjoyed the meal together, whispering their conversation together until the main course arrived, and even then, the girl felt like she was too far away from her date. She hesitated but gripped the edge of the table as she stood up, ignoring the sounds of the chair scratching against the floor softly before walking around and picking it up to set it next to the brunette who looked at her with wide eyes. His cheeks burned pink and so did his ears as he watched her bring over her dishes to sit next to him, filled with love and warmth for her when she settles down next to him silently and he couldn't help but smile brightly at her.

(Y/n)'s own cheeks flushed pink but didn't dare to look at Aidan as she continued eating. "What?" She huffs in embarrassment but pauses when she feels him lean over to kiss her cheek, pulling her chair closer next to his. She blushed from his antics making the boy chuckle softly, the music drifting over then sweetly.

The mains came and went, the dessert arriving on a beautiful china plate and the girl rolls her eyes with a smile when she saw that it was a cheesecake. "Wanna split it?" The brunette asks with a cheeky smile and she nods, flushing when he leans over with his forkful of cake to feed her which she takes bashfully, eyes wide when he kisses the corner of her lips.

"Aidan!" She wacks his arm and he just smiles lovingly.

"Happy 1st Anniversary sweetheart." He breathes out blissfully, bumping his nose against hers sweetly which makes her blush.

"But it's not our anniversary?"

"I know but I wanted to make it perfect again. It didn't go the way I planned it the first time..." the brunette clears his throat, thinking back to when things started breaking between them and he noticed his sweetheart frown but he quickly holds her hands to ease her. "I know, I know you were hurting then, it doesn't make that moment any less precious. I just wanted to make our anniversary special for you again."

"Oh Aidan," (y/n) felt touched that he wanted to redo their special night, to still celebrate their ruined anniversary when they missed out on doing it the first time. "I'm sorry it didn't go well the first time-"

"-you have nothing, nothing, to apologise for." He gasps, brushing his fingers against his sweethearts cheeks, her leaning into his touch.

Aidan would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous, the end of the date coming way too soon already for his liking. He wanted to stay in this moment with her, to listen to her laughter and her stories, to see that twinkle in her eyes, her beautiful smile that captured his heart, the way she looks at him so dearly just as he looks at her.

But he had planned to ask (y/n) to be his again and he wanted this to be perfect for her. He nods over to the servers subtly for the plan to take action after they were done with dessert, a lovely melody playing through the room before he stood up. He held out his hand for his sweetheart and she blinks up at him with a smile, taking his hand and his heart flutters as he pulls her up with him, gently holding her waist and guiding her to dance with him.

"Love Story by Indila huh?" She muses knowing Aidan listened to her talk about her favourite songs.

She would be lying if she said she wasn't nervous as well, the entire night feeling like an absolute dream come true as she danced with the brunette, laying her head against his chest while he held her tight and spun her around. He tilts her head up to look at him, stepping back and spinning her under his arm as her dress flit around her like a lovely sea of rubies.

Aidan pulled (y/n) back with her back against his chest, pressing his cheek against hers and she swore he could hear her heartbeat race when he wrapped his arms around her. The melody drowned everything out and and kept them in their own little bubble, the girl closing her eyes in bliss, hoping this moment doesn't end.

The brunette steps back once more and turns his sweetheart around, pulling her back to see her face, to admire the angel that was before him, the angel that came from the stars herself. There was nothing in the world that would make him give her up, to let her go. He would go to the ends of the earth for her, to give up his career just to see her once more. His heart belonged to her, to the woman that smiled up at him with those pretty doe eyes, belonged to her with the heart of gold, belonged to the ethereal woman that he swore was a dream. His dream girl, his dream wife.

His love, his heart, his soul, his everything.

Aidan needed to mend things between him and (y/n) once and for all, to hopefully rekindle the spark in their relationship again, to show her, to tell her that not once, that there wasn't a second where he didn't think of her, that he prayed he was with her when they were apart. Only the heavens above knew how much he loves her, how in love he is with her, how his heart will only love her.

(Y/n) saw the flurry of emotions in Aidans eyes, worried for him as she held his cheeks and he sucks in his breath when she holds him, his skin buzzing from the warmth of her skin against his. "What's wrong?" She asks him, worried when his eyes flit over her, like his mind was running miles per second.

"I love you (y/n)."

Aidan breathes out shakily, his heart threatening to jump out of his chest as he gauged (y/n)'s expression. Her eyes go wide and he swore that they glazed over as she blinked back her tears and he immediately grew worried.

Shit, is it too soon!?

He held her shaking hands as she looked up at him with quivering lips that soon turn into the biggest smile he has witnessed his entire life. He knew then and there that were going to be fine again, that everything would be perfect between them moving forward. She didn't hate him anymore, didn't reject his feelings for her and he moved to hold her cheeks ever so softly.

"I love you (y/n), with everything that I have, with every inch of my heart that belongs to you, with my entire being." He held one of her hands against his chest where his heart was thundering loudly against his chest, holding her tight to not waver and stay standing tall. He needed her to ground him even then, his voice a shaky mess as he held back his tears.

"(Y/n), will you be mine again? Will let me love you forever? Be your boyfriend again?"

Aidan looks at (y/n), her nodding and the weight on his shoulders immediately falls off as the biggest smile grows on his face. She burned that image of her boyfriend in her mind, the way he looked so eternally happy.

When he was looking at her.

"Yes." She breathes out and her love immediately jumps to hug her, leaning back to kiss her forehead.

"I swear my heart to you forever (y/n)."

Aidan whispers into her hair, leaning back to gently hold her chin up as he nuzzled his nose against hers, frozen in shock when she leaned up to kiss him. He didn't want to push her but she had made the first move to kiss him and he gently kisses her back with all the sweetest love he has for her. Sparks run through the both of them, electricity shocking down their spines as they held each other beneath the twinkling lights.
