It Was Love

Chapter 53

After Ein fell asleep, I picked him up and laid him on my old bed, making sure to cover him up with blankets so he didn't get cold. Then I spent some time with my brother. We played board games, got ice cream, and almost got poisoned by my brother because he forgot werewolves can't have chocolate. Good times.

When we got back home, Mom was sitting on the couch.

"Hey you two. Have fun?"

"If you count Ethan forgetting I can't have chocolate and having to throw my icecream up, then yeah, we did!" I said.

"Mistakes were made..." Ethan said.

"Well, I hope you had a good time aside from that. Oh and Eli, your boyfriend is still knocked out. I just checked on him a few minutes ago," Mom told me.

I nodded and sat down on the couch.

"What did you two do to make him so worn out? He was really tired, then he did pushups and passed out!" I told Ethan.

"Uh...it's his own fault for doing pushups. We just moved a bunch of stuff, and he did most of it cause it was his stuff," Ethan replied.

"It's about diner time, don't you think? We can have diner, and if Ein doesn't wake up, then we can save him a plate for later. I think I know what you two did, so let's let him sleep," Mom said, standing up. Just at that moment, Ein came down the stairs.

"Hey Ein, you got up just in time! Mom's gonna make dinner!" I told him happily.

He smiled at me, then rubbed his eyes a little.

"You still tired?" Ethan asked.

"Yeah, I shoulda took a break when you did," Ein said.

"Told ya this would happen."

"Okay, we're having tacos, so come and make yours!" Mom yelled from the kitchen.

I raced into the kitchen, grabbing a plate and shell, then started making my taco.

Sitting down at the table, I could hear Ein and Ethan talking in the other room.

Thank you werewolf hearing!

"Is this going to be everyday?" Ein asked.

"No,lifting all that equipment through snow isn't going to be everyday," Ethan replied.

"But you need, need to take a shower everyday, or else. Don't take one, and you smell like a garbage can."

Ein sighed.

"This is gonna be hard," he mumbled, his footsteps coming into the kitchen. We ate, talking and laughing, and when we finished, we had apple pie, Ethan's favorite food.

We talked until 11:15, then I headed up to bed. I could kind of hear talking downstairs, so I listened.

"So, I think you should ask a few weeks after she turns eighteen. That way, she won't have a reason to turn you down," Ethan was saying.

"We might not even be together then. I don't even know if she'll want to be with me that long," Ein said.

Ah.

Marriage talk.

Wait, Ein's talking about marriage with my family?!

"I think I'm just gonna go to bed..." Ein said, and I heard his footsteps on the stairs.

"Think about it! You would be a great husband!" Ethan called after him.

The door creaked open and Ein entered the room.
