To Protect Each Other ~ A Haleb Story

1105!

A/N

Haven't done an authors note but hi!! My names Becca and I just wanted to say that sometimes I might write in first person but if I do I'll put: [name] POV...

Hanna woke up and immediately turned over. She expected to wake up in Calebs tight grip but she didn't. It was just past 9am on a Saturday morning.

Getting out of her bed, she decided to get ready straight away for a change. She quickly did her makeup with only a small amount of mascara and some lip balm. She hated not putting on concealer of foundation to cover her face but she didn't plan on going out today. Looking through her wardrobe, Hanna pulled out an unfamiliar shirt which she soon recognised to be Calebs. It was a blue button up denim one and she really wanted to wear it so she paired it with some black jeans and tucked it in. Hanna's hair was in a braid and she decided to throw it into a messy bun.

Making her way down the stairs, Hanna was overwhelmed by the smell of breakfast.

"Mom?" Hanna called.

"Not exactly." Came a deep voice from where she was heading.

"Caleb! I thought you'd left already." She made her way over to him and say sat on the counter behind him.

"And why would I do that on our special day?" Hanna could sense his smirk from where she was sat.

"Special day?..." Hanna was so confused.

"Our anniversary." Caleb looked slightly disheartened by the fact she'd forgotten. Hanna quickly pulled out her phone and the date read, 'Saturday 5th November.'

"Oh shit yeah!" Hanna noticed how sad he looked and he tried to hide it. "Cheer up, Rivers. I got your present a couple weeks ago and I only forgot because of the amount of meds I'm on. Don't look so sad." He turned around and continued cooking.

"Who said I was sad?" He mumbled.

"I did. Now around you little drama queen." Hanna said in an attempted British accent. They both started laughing and Caleb made his way over to the counter where Hanna was sat. He trapped her in with his arms and she couldn't move. "Alright chef, if you don't move your pancakes are gonna burn." She tried to push him away but he was too strong.

"You've got no chance. Happy Anniversary Han. I love you to the moon and back." He kissed her passionately before she could reply but she broke away.

"Yeah well, I love you to Uranus and back." She said, impressed by her knowledge of the solar system but then realising what the hell she just said.

"Yeah I bet you do." Caleb couldn't stop laughing at Hannas face when she said that and so he went to flip the pancakes. She went and poured two glasses of pineapple juice which was Calebs favourite and set them at the table before he came over and placed their food down.

"Omg this looks so good!" She said while starting to cut off a piece. "Anyway, when did you learn to cook?"

"Don't sound so surprised. Your mom taught me." He said like it was such a casual thing.

"My mom taught you? All she knows is how to turn on the microwave for ready meals or how to click 'call' on the takeaways phone number." She laughed.

"You could just thank me." He said sarcastically.

"I'm kidding. Thank you and I love it. And you." She added.

"I love you too."

They continued to each their pancakes whilst holding hands.

Calebs POV...

Me and Hanna were sitting on the sofa watching Disney movies again and I though it was about time for me to give her the present I bought.

"Han?" I asked. She was cuddling into me and I wasn't sure if she was sleeping or not.

"Mmm?" She mumbled.

"Can I give you your present?" I said, pulling her up onto my lap.

"Yeah but your present is gonna have to wait until later." I knew exactly what she meant but I decided to play dumb so she could get a laugh out of it. "Where is it?" She asked. I pulled out a small red velvet box out of my back pocket and I gave it to her. She opened it to reveal two rings. The smaller ring was rose gold and the larger one was silver.

"They're promise rings." I said while pulling out the rose gold one. It said 'Caleb' on the inside of it with '1105' engraved on the outside. Similarly, the silver one said 'Hanna' on the inside and '1105' on the outside. I placed Hannas on her ring finger and I could see her tearing up.

"Omg Caleb it's beautiful. Thank you so much." She said and we kissed. I managed to mutter, "I love you." And she broke away to say, "I love you too."

I ran my hands through her long, blonde hair and I caressed her cheek as we kissed.

"Ready for your present?" She giggled.

"Definitely." I replied and I followed her upstairs.
