The day was nice, the sun beaming. Sarv loved days like this, it was warm and bright, she just couldn't get over how nice it was. Ruv on the other hand...He didn't mind the light, but the heat was horrible. He always preferred his layers, but whenever Sarv forced him to leave the house it posed quite a problem. He sighed, still adjusting the T-shirt he had put on. He only really wore short sleeves at home. Sarv thought that was stupid, his jackets always covered his toned body. She didn't understand why he wouldn't want to show himself off...

She smiled at him, "you look great, stop fidgeting!" She said, moving down to hold onto the others hand. He blushed a little and nodded.

"You know I don't like leaving the house a lot, your lucky I care about you" he sighed,

"I know"

She practically dragged him, her goal was the cafe just down the street from the church. She went there commonly but she had never taken Ruv, and she was sure he would love it just as much as she did he just wouldn't say it out loud.

Ruv always had a hard time properly showing his emotions, and Sarv knew that and kept it in mind. She knew that his words of affection usually didn't come off as he meant, but...she loved him, so she always took this into consideration. They had only been properly dating for a few months and they haven't said the big"I love you"s quite yet. She was hoping today would be the day that changed for the both of them. She had never ever doubted that he cared for her, but the thought of him saying "l love you" scared her. His lack of affection, and the fact that he had only said those words a total of around two times around her made her nervous. She didn't want to rush him, and she was heavily committed to this relationship of course, she just hoped Ruv felt the same.

The walk was short, since Sarv got an apartment close to the church. And when they got there she smiled brightly at the other. The cafe was adorable, vines and plants scattered across and making it somewhat aesthetically pleasing. Most of the lighting came from the fairy lights strung inside the building on the ceiling, and there was multiple people there reading and writing. There was also a select few drawing, and of course there were the regulars, like Sarv. She got along with everyone, and had even been drawn a few times by the artists that would roam into the cafe. All around the space was just very inspirational, that's why so many creative minds came there. Sarv came here to write sometimes, as well, but not much. She mostly chatted with the people that went and just relaxed. She truly hoped that Ruv could find the same comfort in the cafe that she did.

The sign read "the potted plant", she always found that name rather funny, but fitting.

"So, Ruv, this is my favorite cafe. I come here all the time, so I hope you like it as much as I do.." the last part she said somewhat silently as she opened the door, the bell ringing at the top. Immediately the cashiers and workers smiled brightly at her, and she smiled back happily. She brought Ruv up to the front, showing him the menu and telling him her favorites, what she didn't like, and what she recommended him. It was an understatement to say he was a bit overwhelmed, there was a lot to choose from. And Sarvente was beyond excited to show him all of it.

She didn't exactly have a plan for the day, she just knew she wanted him to see and enjoy the soothing area.

In the end he just chose a black coffee, deciding not to get too adventurous. He was almost certain that after this Sarv would take him again, so he knew he had time to try everything the girl wanted him to. As much as he hated to admit it he really was wrapped around her finger, mostly because he loved to see her smile, and if he could make her smile he'd be more than happy to supply. When they got their drinks, and Sarv's croissant that she ended up ordering, they sat down at a small spot next to a window. While they sipped on their drinks Sarvante began to speak to the other, wanting him to fully understand the charm of the place.

"I usually come here to read" she started, "mainly focusing on the Bible, but also my other books, aswell. I'm always here alone however, but...it feels really really nice to be here with you, Ruv. I just hope you can enjoy this place like I can, and even if you can't, Atleast you got to experience it." She spoke softly, breaking her croissant in half and pushing part of it towards the love infront of her. Ruv was somewhat speechless, he was always so entranced in the way that Sarvente spoke so fluently and confidently. This really was part of what lead him to fall in love with the girl.

"It's nice." He said, point blank, his thick Russian accent coming through. He knew he sounds so...dull, but he was never as good with words as the girl was. Despite that, she smiled brightly at him, she knew Ruv like the back of her hand. She knew he had a hard time speaking his emotions, and she could tell he did really like it. Maybe not as much as her, but even a little bit was enough to satisfy her.

"Wonderful, now drink up! And eat that croissant, you haven't eaten all day, Ruv." She sing-songed, taking a hefty bite out of her side of the croissant she had bought. He just have her a small smile, cupping her cheek to press a kiss to her forehead.

This really was just perfect.
