Twiddling my pen through my fingertips stressfully I couldn't help but feel those eyes on me as I finally finished mentally digesting my last page of notes.

Me and Gray were in downtown Gotham at a diner for a study date before our finals that would take place at the peak of the afternoon, yet, rather than taking in the extra study time before we ate our breakfast he was eyeing me like I was the only girl in the world.

Noticing his searing focus on me again I just smiled while closing my notebook and looked up to catch his gaze.

"Why are you looking at me like that?!" I asked while placing my arms on the table to lean forward slightly filling some of the space blocking us

But, Gray wasn't backing down from my action that usually made my exes crack and melt under my gaze instead he smirked and leaned forward following my previous action.

"Because I really, really want to kiss you right now" He answered with his lips not even a full inch away from mine

"Hmm...Don't you know better than public displays of affection in such a filled place, Mr. Wayne?" I teased while raising an eyebrow

He just ignored me with a low smile and pressed his lips against mine before pulling away.

"Can't expect me to act like I know better all the time now can we?" Gray replied

I then rolled my eyes and said, "I love how you were supposed to be studying with me but decided to instead stare at me the entire time"

"I would apologize but I am a man who appreciates beauty, besides, if you noticed it means you were looking too" He rebutted slickly causing me to turn away while smiling

"Shut up!" I retorted beginning to laugh

"How do you feel about your Championship game tonight, baby?" I then asked after my laughter calmed

"I feel like it's going to be amazing...the family is going to be there, the crowd will be wild...and a special woman will be there for me. What's crazy about it though is...I never really told her how much I loved and love her..." Richard began to rant causing me to smile with my lips pursed together from the nervousness that built in the pits of my soul

"...Yet, when we were inseparable it never occurred to me how much I needed her until she wasn't there. I guess, I just want to let her know now that she's mine in every way I have ever imagined how mesmerized I am by her and how I want her mind, soul, and every flaw she has to offer." He concluded looking a bit nervous himself

"If that's the answer to your prayers, be careful what you wish for because I don't let go of things I love. You're a smart man, I thought you were aware of that." I replied causing him to smile

"You can love someone platonically and it not be romantic. I just wanted to explicitly let you know I've loved you this way since we ran off that night together." He replied as my face warmed, thoughts erased and sight was left fuzzy from his words alone

"I loved you in that way since then too" I replied quickly wiping my eyes before the tears began

The thought of us being together again after all these years; especially in this way had become unreal and I guess it's the main reason the thought had become so repetitive in my mind.

"Promise?!" He asked sillily causing me to laugh

"I'm gonna hit you!" I rebutted

"I bet you I'd like it too!" He retorted causing me to laugh harder at him and his ways

"I promise, Boy Scout" I replied causing him to bite his lip gently as he looked at me and said, "Okay..."

He then pulled out a little blue box causing my eyebrow to raise as I said jokingly, "We are too young for marriage."

He then shushed me while laughing as he handed me the box with a little smile.

"It's just a gift." He then said causing me to playfully roll my eyes as I jokingly asked, "So, what, now you don't want to marry me?!"

"Dawn, stop being difficult," He said continuing to laugh as I opened the box revealing a little diamond heart necklace with the detailing of the outline of the heart being flowers

"I just wanted to get you something that would remind you of this moment forever and I remembered how much your Mother loved Orchids so I had the jewelers cut the diamonds that way. It's just my personal promise to you and your Mom that I will always protect and be there for you" Gray said causing me to feel my heart gasp for air as my chest tightened at the thoughtfulness of what he had done

"Gray..." I finally was able to get out as my mind still tried to wrap around what he was doing to me and my heart

"Let me put it on." He said getting up from his end of the table causing me to do the same

Immediately, my arms made my way around him as I hugged him tightly burying my face into his chest as he held me equally as tight.

"I got you," He said lowly as he kissed my head

I finally began to pull away slowly just to press my lips against his with my arms resting around his neck before I began to gently tug the ends of his long hair resting at the nape of his neck.

I then pulled away looking him in the eyes while saying, "Thank you"

"You're fine..." He replied kissing my forehead once before picking up my necklace, wrapping it around my neck, and saying, "Let's finish our study session now!"

"Yeah, because we have tests to pass and you have a game to prepare for" I replied with a little smile
