Since We Have Fallen In Love... [Garrance AU] {Book 2} (Completed)

Chapter 21: Forgive Me

*Laurance's POV*

"Garroth...I..," I wiped my eyes, with my free hand, still gazing over the object in the box. "I... don't know what to say..."

"I-I was going to get it for y-you, on our one year anniversary... which is exactly twenty days away..," Garroth started, his smile dropping. "But...I couldn't wait that long...I-I just want to be over, with all this stupid...couples nonsense. I want to forgive you, and I want you to forgive me...for whatever freaking happened today. And, just start over..."

"Garroth, sweetheart...I don't know what to say, other than..," I looked up at my fiancé, who was crying once more.

I set the box, and item, on the nightstand, walking over to him. Garroth collapsed in my arms. Soft sobs could be heard, throughout the room, that was once silent.

"...I love you, so much...nothing will change that. No matter, what stupid crap I say," I kissed the top of my love's head, rubbing his back soothingly.

"D-Do you l-like it..? It's fine i-if you don't...I d-don't mind..," Garroth looked up at me, wiping his eyes.

I let him go, allowing him to stand on his own. I went back over to the box, holding it in the palms of my hands. Observing it some more, I smiled through the tears. It was such a sweet gift.

Can you guess what it was..?

...

Well, the first thing attached to it, was a small letter. Like, a note. I picked that up, reading all of the words on it. Smiling brighter, the more I read of it.

"Dear, Laurance...

I'm pretty sure, you can guess who it is... If you can't...it's me! Your boyfriend...Garroth. Happy one year anniversary! It's hard to imagine, we've been dating for a whole year now...

But, I'm glad we are. Because, honestly, I love you so damn much. You have no idea. The thought, that we are actually together, it's crazy...

I know, that you'll never actually see this note. Because, I'll never give it to you.

All because, we'll probably never end up together. It's all just some, childhood dream...stuck inside my dumb, teenage head. Maybe one day, we'll get together. Highly unlikely, though. You seem, to really like...well...anything but boys. So, I'm writing this note to no one.

But, Mommy says to believe. Write down your beliefs, so you never forget them. And, now, I'll never forget you! Like I would, anyways...

So, Hypothetical Boyfriend Laurance...happy one year anniversary. And know, that I love you. 💙

~Garroth Ro'Meave".

"Garroth, sweetheart..," I looked up at him, to see he was nervously trembling. "That was so cute..."

"Heh..," Garroth rubbed his arm, biting down on his lip. "T-that was just to m-make you smile. I found it, a while ago... And, I was actually going to give you that, along with the present, o-on our anniversary...but, I-I'll find you something better...and write you a real note..."

"Well, I think it was sweet," I put on a large smile, and Garroth returned the look. I hated when he cried...I hated when he was upset. But, I love his smile, when he gets over it."

I set the note down, on our nightstand. Next, was the gift...the amazingly sweet gift. It honestly, made me tear up more. Remembering what happened, almost a full year ago...

Wanna know what it is?

...

It was a snowglobe.

Honestly, all the memories, from that night, replayed vividly in my mind. Our first kiss...and the very next day, our first date... Then, we only fell in more love from there on...

Now, it lead up to this moment. Twenty days, before our one year anniversary. We're engaged, now. And, we just went through a small bit of a hard time. But, like every obstacle thrown our way, we're going to get over it. Be back on our feet, and start our lives together, again.

Because, that's what happens when you are truly in love...

"Garroth...Love...this," I picked up the gorgeous snowglobe, admiring it. All of the thought behind it, was truly amazing. "This is beautiful...yet, it makes me feel horrible, that I didn't get you a make-up, present."

"Y-you don't have to!" Garroth assured me, biting down harder on his lip. "Y-you already have given me so much! I don't want you to-"

"Yes, but...I'm the one that really screwed up today. So, I should give you...something... Like, maybe..," I smirked at Garroth, winking as well. His face flushed red, and he hastily shook his head. "...Fine. You're right. Save that one."

"L-Laurance!" Garroth exclaimed, his eyes widening. I chuckled a little, at my fiancé.

"Just kidding...kinda," I teased. "But, hm...oh! I have an idea."

I went over to Garroth, setting the snowglobe in a safe location. I held the sides of Garroth's head, pulling him into a sweet kiss. It took a second, but he kissed me back. It felt nice...just the two of us...getting over this petty argument. I'm glad, out of all people...I have him...

Because, I'll never fall out of love, with someone as amazing as him...
