hugs from behind, hand holding, using his thighs as a pillow, playing with each otherβs hair, trolling one another in games, planetarium dates, dragging him to the bookstore + spoiling her with books, coffee dates, giving him flowers, kissing the back of his hand, cuddling on the couch, forehead + top of the head kisses, spinny hugs, comparing hand sizes, helping him practice his sets, proofreading her stories, lulling her to sleep by reading, self care nights, stealing and wearing his clothes, teaching each other their native languages, singing and listening to taylor swift, openly simping on main for him, words of affirmation, watching star wars, treating his injuries.

event details. combination of βlove storyβ and βstrawberry sweetheartsβ for the selfship sweethearts event by mari<3 more information is on her blog!
it had been four years now, being in a relationship with tooru, ellie realized. time flew by so quickly, it almost felt like sheβd known him a lifetime with how much joy heβd brought her on the daily. it was enchanting, being around him as she was.
the setter would spoil her endlessly with his love, purchase whatever her heart desired in the moments they shared and squeezed her to him to wash away the blues. it was complete bliss, like a fairytale come true between a knight and her king, who had somehow chosen his protector over a frilly princess.
it made said knight yearn to do something in return for his love and kindness over the years. although she had written him a mountain of letters on each day of july leading into his the day of his birth.. ellie felt compelled to go the extra mile this time around.
therefore β while her dearest boyfriend laid in their shared bedroom with his rayban frames situated on the bridge of his nose in exchange for the contacts he frequented, watching his nightly usual β old volleyball games.. ellie dried off strawberry after strawberry from the batch sheβd bought earlier that morning at the market, letting out a breath.
cleaning the fruits were hard work when she couldnβt just give in and snack on them. however, the authorβs desire to make her anniversary with tooru absolutely magical.. overpowered her longing tastebuds.
βpour chocolate pellets to your heartβs content into a mug and microwave when ready to dip strawberries..β she read over the directions before humming. βseems simple enough.β and that, it was. the final touches involved her dipping each berry into the bowl of chocolate before dropping a cat shaped sprinkle on each β a cute, final touch.
with her work done, she popped them into a container before pushing them a little towards the back of the fridge β a place tooruβs eyes wouldnβt easily reach. he always did snoop!
speaking of which..
βoh?? is that for meeeee?β a cooing voice inquired, the owner wrapping his arms around the brunette which had her rolling her eyes a little, suppressing a smile.
βit could be if you werenβt trying to spoil yourself a day early.β she huffed out, but there was no hostility to her words, as she turned around to look up at her boyfriend. βhi tooru-san.β
a grin etched itself onto his lips as he leaned down to nuzzle his nose against hers, laughing quietly. βhi ellie-chan, howβs my love fairing with the absence of her analytical, volleyball enthusiastic boyfriend?β he joked, pecking her lips ever so gently.
it made her face warm a little, though his descriptions drew a laugh out of her as she fixed his turtleneck for him. βoh tooru, itβs been horrific with your absence.. i simply cannot go on without you.. whatever will i do?β
a gasp left his lips as he carded his fingers through her hair, holding her closer. βtruly?? oh no, that simply wonβt do.. i canβt possibly have my dearest ellie-chan suffering!β he responded dramatically, on part with her own share β maybe worse. actually- very much worse. βi say we go fix that, hm?β he followed up, pushing up her own lenses β a pair that was nearly the same as his ( it was the feminine version ).
she allowed her head to tilt in thought as her eyes squinted. βmm.. and how do you propose for fix that?β
the smile he wore became cheshire as he lifted her up into his arms with little warning, racing off towards their room. βwhy, only with the best piece of cinema ever created, of course??β
ah. revenge of the sith.
what a good boyfriend, tooru was.
at last, the day of the anniversary had arrived. albeit six days after the national holiday of love and all the sappy stuff, it was still an important day for ellie and tooru. as it was the official proclamation of their love for one another.
βellie-channn, how much longer do i have to wear this?? what if you turn around and impale me with a lightsaber to spend my entire salary on books?? iβll be heartbroken and have become padmΓ© rather than anakin!β
the female flattened her lips as she pulled on his ear as a means of scolding him, letting out a huff. βiβm never taking on anniversary plans again if this is what you think of me. weβre almost there now stop being stingy.β she pouted, guiding the pretty setter a few more steps before stopping.
tooru had his cheeks puffed out in offense, not happy with her choice of retort. βwhy are we stopping?? are we finally here??β
ellie was almost ready to throw hands ( she wouldnβt ). βyes. yes we are, now bend down..β she mumbled reluctantly, her face warming. βcanβt reach you like that..β
βaww~ poor ellie-chan, see i told you to eat milk bread when we were kids! but itβs okay~β he cooed, somehow dodging her attempts at whacking him despite the lack of vision. βi love my teddybear-chan just as she is! and i can give her the perfect cuddles when sheβs all cute and compact~!β he grinned, at long last leaning down for her to remove the cloth.
the first thing he saw was his girlfriend close to his face, flushing profusely, and the second thing.. was the scenery behind her.
confused, he blinked at her. βyou.. brought us to iwa-chanβs doorstep?β
in her right hand, tooru now realized, was a container with a bow atop of it, and in her left, a crimson colored rose.
a deep breath left her lips as she nodded slowly. βthis is where we first met β where hajime introduced us.. i remember being so scared for my accent and lack of proficiency, but you welcomed me with a warmth that made my heart beat incredibly fast..β she tried explaining, willing her voice to not quiver as she lifted her head to meet his eyes, her own glossing over.
βiβm so happy to have met you, tooru-san.. and so grateful to receive your love, i-i feel so lucky..β she whispered, wiping at her eyes with the back of the hand holding his flower before it was suddenly encased by tooruβs warm ones.
his eyes were tender, filled with adoration and a love that could carry into every lifetime they shared. βi should be the lucky one to receive all your affections β to have been able to meet you and become this close with.. you are my everything, ellie-chan.β he paused, releasing her hand to cup her cheeks. βmy heart is yours, i love you so so much, agape-mou..β he whispered the last part, flushing a little.
oikawa heard the term between her family and her a lot β had even been called it before, himself. he figured it would bring his feelings across perfectly, even if more tears had left his girlfriendβs eyes..
without further delay, he pulled her into a mixture between a spin and hug β her most favorite type of hug. as a child, she had always expressed that whoever she got with would be the one if they held her as anakin did padmΓ©. last night, even, revisiting the film again β tooru was reminded of the hug.
it made him smile as he leaned his forehead on hers, before letting out a breath. βwhat an anniversary, and there are still strawberries to be had.β the seijoh graduate commented, to which the girl blinked.
βh-how did you??β
βi may have spotted them in the fridge at midnight..β
βyou WHAT??β
βwhoops- did i say that?? i meant love you ellie-chan!!β
