[ time jump; two weeks ]

VIVIAN AND FROY were laying on the couch. The two were lost in thought. 10 Things I Hate About You was playing softly in the background. Vivian layed on Froy's chest. Froy had a lock of her hair and twirled it around his fingers continuously.

"Too bad Heath Ledger is dead. He was cute," Vivian sighed, staring at the dead man walking. Froy hummed in response. He began running his fingers through her blonde hair. "Oh, can you keep doing that? It feels good," Vivian smiled up at her boyfriend.

"I was going to ask you for the magic word, but I realized that I loved you so much that you don't need it." Froy smiled back and continued to play with her hair.

The two went silent again. They didn't mind not talking. The two just enjoyed being with each other. The rhythm of their breathing was in sync. It was perfect.

"Hey, babe?" Vivian asked. The movie was about to end.

"Yes, my love?"

"Remember when Dylan asked you to get something for him?"

"O'brien right?" Froy replied.

"That's the one. What did he ask you to get him?" Vivian questioned.

Froy gave Vivian a half smile. Then he stood up and walked into the hall to find his overnight backpack. Vivian plopped on the couch. "Well maybe a warning before you get up next time would be nice!" She hollered. Froy replied with a chuckle.

The boy reappeared in the hall and took a seat next to Vivian. He looked deep in her eyes. She smiled. "Whatcha doin?"

He chuckled and looked down. Froy blushed a little. His eyes found hers again. "Okay, so Dylan wanted for me to make sure you never get hurt again." His eyes began to wander, avoiding Vivian's confused gaze. Froy fidgeted before pulling something out of her pocket.

Vivian literally had no words when she saw a little black box. Her jaw dropped to the floor when Froy opened it to show a little ring. "Froy!" She smacked him.

"Ow! What the heck was that for?" He rubbed his arm.

"We're so young! Are you crazy?" Vivian wasn't upset at all. She was just shocked.

"Clam down, sweaty! It's a promise ring!" Froy laughed. Vivian sighed in relief.

"Goodness, babe. You scared me!" She leaned her head on Froy's chest. Then, she sat up and listened to what he had to say.

"Obviously! Anyways," Froy smiled. "Dylan wanted me to protect you. So I thought that there's no better way to show my commitment to you than a promise ring."

He took the ring from the box. Vivian had a ginormous smile on her face. Froy took her left hand and slid on the ring. "You're mine," He smiled. She grabbed his face and placed a kiss on his lips. He kissed her back, and he felt her smile into their kiss. They pulled away.

"I'm yours," Vivian replied. "I love it, Froy."

"I love you, Vivian."

"I love you too. Forever and always."
