Chapter 27: Bubble Bath Extravaganza

The day continued, full of action-packed adventures and... fuck, what am I saying. That's bullshit and even I know that. We actually did some pretty low key things. I guess that was just what he was into and that was okay with me because what made him happy made me even happier. We went for a hike through the local park forest then got some coffee at Tim Hortons. It was freezing outside so we couldn't do anything like go to amusement parks or summer fairs; not that they'd be open during that time of year anyway. There wasn't really much to do during that time of the year. We bought some new clothes and shoes for him at the mall, trying not to pick anything too flashy that would cause him to stick out in his time. Overall, that day was good. I think he enjoyed himself and that made me happy. Once we got home, we went out for a walk around my neighborhood. It eventually got too cold, so we started walking back. "So, Y/N?" he said in a questioning tone. We walked down the bitter cold sidewalk towards my house. The sun was setting, casting the most beautiful ombré of colors upon the world around us.

"Yeah, Armin?"

"I have one last request."

I asked him what it was and he replied, "well, actually, I have a few. But, first, where are we staying tonight?"

"I'm going with here. After all, I want you to have a top-notch birthday."

I smiled warmly at him. He really meant the world to me. "So what're these requests you're talking about?" I asked. "Well, I'm sure these will all sound stupid but, moving on. I want to get to your house and have one of those hot baths. I can't imagine the idea of bathing in hot water. I want to experience it for myself if that's okay. Then, I wanna lay with you and read one of my new books. Last, I want to end the night with a kiss."

"Sure. That all sounds great. Besides, you really didn't need to ask. We probably would have done all those things anyway."

"R-Really? Alright, well, I can't wait," he sighed. His face began to redden as he watched his feet, walking. I couldn't tell if it was from the cold or embarrassment. I grabbed his hand and held it tight. It was cold. Just then, I'd thought of an idea. "Wanna have a bubble bath?" I proposed.

"A what?"

"Just say yes, it's great, I insisted." "Sure..." he replied with hesitation.

"Great. I might even think of joining you because I haven't had one of those in forever," I exclaimed. Armin looked up at me, in shock. "What?" he stammered.

"Never mind, forget I said anything."

Joining in wasn't that bad of an idea. He wouldn't be that self-conscious if he knew we'd be covered in bubbles but regardless, I'll respect his wishes. We finally approached my house. I playfully ran up the driveway to the door, unlocking it with my housekey. He ran up behind me and we walked inside.

"It's getting colder by the second," I stated.

"Yeah."

I flicked on a light and closed the door, making sure to lock it. Making sure to slip off my shoes at the front door, I ran up the stairs. "I'll run the bath!" I yelled down at him. He followed me up the stairs and we entered the master bedroom. I turned on the bath, poured in some bubble bath soap, and closed the door. Armin and I sat down on the bed.

"Y/N, you know, you're so, so, so beautiful."

I could feel my face flushing. I thanked him for the compliment and hugged him. I held him close. His hair smelled sweet, almost like flowers. I'd come to love the way he smelled. It was comforting to me. Whenever I was with him, I felt like I could just be yourself. I sat up and slid off the bed. I jogged into the bathroom and turned off the bath. Armin walked in behind and watched the bubbles foaming up.
