Warnings: Potential Suicide Squad spoilers (not plot)

Your POV

"How long are you working today?" You make a fake whine as you ask Jared, your boyfriend for almost a year now, about his schedule for the day.

"Probably not long, babe. We're filming my last few scenes before the ending of the movie today, and I'll probably be allowed to leave once we've gotten it perfect." You smile knowing that you'll most likely get to actually hang out with him today. It'd been a while since you had a proper date with him. His filming for his upcoming film Suicide Squad had began to overtake his life these past few months. Anniversaries had to be missed, dates happened rarely, and you only really got to see him when he came to visit your house for a few minutes after work.

"Well, I'll be looking forward to actually going out with you for once. Do you know if you'll be able to go out for our one year anniversary this Friday?" Your eyes fill with hope as you look into his, hoping he'll say yes.

"I hope so. They may call me in for a retake though. You know how the business goes." He frowned a little, just as you did, but not wanting to see you sad, he grins a little. You give a small smile back as he leans down to kiss you. A small lock of his currently-green hair falls onto your face while the two of you lock lips. You pull away quickly, startled by the light brush of his hair on your cheek.

"What's wrong?" He asks, concern flooding his tone.

"Nothing, your hair fell onto my cheek and I thought it was a bug," you chuckle a little at your foolishness and get back up close to him,"it wasn't you, I swear." He smiles, and you peck his lips really quick before he grabs his belongings from beside your front door.

"I'll come see you as soon as I can after I finish filming."

"Promise?"

"Of course," he opens up the door and steps onto the front porch,"I love you."

"I love you too." He flashes a smile at you and turns to walk out to his car.

Once Jared pulls out of your driveway, you wander over to your living room and put on a random reality TV show. Before you realize it, you're asleep on the couch.

When you wake up, you find a blanket over top of you, and Jared walking into the living room with a bowl of cereal in his hand.

"I didn't want to disturb you, so I threw a blanket over top of you and got myself a snack."

"Well, thank you for letting me sleep, but I'm awake now, so how was filming today?"

"It went pretty well. We didn't have to do too many takes, but we had to redo some other scenes. How was your nap?"

"Wonderful," you flop back down onto your back,"I really needed it considering the all-nighter I pulled watching YouTube last night."

"You've really gotta try to get some sleep. I want you to be awake on Friday because I have a lot planned." He smirks at you when you jump up, eyes wide.

"You're definitely going to be able to go out that day?!" You had lost hope of him being able to do anything when he'd missed all your anniversaries leading up to this one. He couldn't help it if he had to work, but you wished they could wrap up this movie soon.

"Of course! I have so many plans for it!"

"Tell me! Tell me!" You jump with excitement.

"No no no. You'll have to wait until Friday. Ten o' clock in the morning. That's when I'll be at your door."
