Aurelia and Jaime sat on the couch the woman having just arrived from her latest tattoo appointment. While the first thing she'd done was eat the second was show him her new ink
"Turtledove, you so got this because of me," Jaime looks down at the ink behind saran wrap being able to notice the way her shoulder shuddered at the pet name
"No i didn't it was something i'd been wanting," Aurelia honestly says but there was no way to explain why she got the word 'amor' in his pre lawyer handwriting on her shoulder
"You have me tattooed on you," Jaime grins and it was such a boyish smile that made Aurelia melt
"I... Okay" Aurelia sighs knowing he was right because she'd either only call him Jaime or amor or sweets
"It's foreeevveerrrr" Jaime teases leaning into her ear and kisses the side of her neck
"Shut uuupppp" Aurelia whines with a smile on her face

Walking home from class Jaime takes hold of Aurelia's hand as they cross the street, "Who are we telling?"
"About us?"
"Yeah"
Aurelia fixes the strap of her backpack with her free hand, "Jessie knows meaning so does Louis and Sean"
"So friends is okay"
"Mhm, my parents cannot know because they still dont know i'm living with you or well a guy in general and if i break the news to them by saying im living with my boyfriend i am not ready for all the bible verses, and catholic guilt my mom will be sending me," Aurelia says already being able to feel sweat on her skin by just the thought of all the hounding her mom would give her along with the potential of what her family would try to say at parties or have spoken about her behind her back
"Okay"
"Amor, is it okay?" Aurelia asks wanting to be 100% that he was okay with in some way being a secret
"If it's better for your mental health i'm all for it," Jaime smiles squeezing her hand in full support
"Thank you" Aurelia dreamily wishes raising their intertwined hands to kiss his "what about your family?"
"Milagro will definitely say she called it, my parents... they'll want to make sure im still focusing on my studies and graduate" Jaime says making it known that he also knows how big of a priority studying and graduating is not only for him but for both of them
