Part 24

*3 weeks later*

sweetpea's pov

fangs and i have been living in his trailer for three weeks now, and it's been the best three weeks of my life.

our one month anniversary is coming up in a few days and i'm panicking.

what do i get him?

where do i take him?

a trip?

after pondering my options for many days prior i made a decision.

we're going camping.

we both love the outdoors so i can't think of anything more perfect. i have a surprise for him that i've been planning for months now, even before we were together, as i knew no matter what i was going to end up with him.

"hey baby?" i called from the bedroom.

"yeah?" i heard a quiet reply as the boy in question stumbled in the room.

"pack your bags bud, we're going camping." i smiled at the grin that quickly spread across his lips.

he ran to hug me and mumbled into my chest, "really? yay, thank you baby! i love you!"

"baby boy, i love you too."

we arrived at the campsite an hour later and began walking the trail to the place i had picked for us to set up camp.

"okay bubs, here it is," i motioned for him to look out over the beautiful scenery, that is the outdoors.

"woah," he gasped, "sweets, it's great! i love it!" the smaller serpent bounced on the balls of his feet and i couldn't help but marvel at the fact that this boy was mine.

we unrolled the tent from the bag i had draped over my shoulder. i asked for him to sit in a folding chair as i did the work, not wanting him to have to move a muscle. this was our anniversary and i wanted everything to be perfect for him.

"bubby, i can help," he tried to sway me as he reached out to help set up the tent posts. "baby, sit and relax. i don't want you having to lift a finger bud."

finally after me getting tangled inside the tent ropes, and fangs almost losing our sleeping bags, we finally settle down and i began to collect wood for our fire as i knew my boy loved s'mores. but little did i know fangs had another idea swirling in his brain.

sweetpea kept insisting that i not do any of the work but i couldn't stop myself from wanting to at least help collect firewood, as i knew he was making the fire specifically for me and my s'mores addiction. after i knew sweetpea was out of my sight i looked both ways before turning left and walking towards the edge of the trees. i kept going deeper and deeper as i stumbled around trying to find limbs and sticks that would be perfect for our fire.

it began to grow dark, darker than i had hoped. and god knows how i feel about the dark. i would never admit it but i couldn't help the small whimper that left my lips at the realization that i was alone.

"s-sweets?" i yelled, whimpering more as my voice virtually crumbled to silence from my fear.

my knees buckled beneath me as my salty tears began to flow smoothly onto my cheeks. i just wanted sweetpea. i just wanted to help. i just wanted to make him proud of me. now he's gonna be so mad at me. i'm such a fucking failure. as i curled into a tight ball on the forest floor i couldn't help but over analyze every little sound i heard. it wasn't until i heard footsteps that my real panic set in. what if it's sweets? maybe he will pick me up and carry me back to our tent and let me eat the marshmallows from our food stash. but maybe he's just gonna yell at me and tell me i've disappointed him. i don't know which option is more realistic at this point. i'm just too scared to think of the outcome of either. and before i knew it the footsteps were closer than ever and through my glossy eyes i could see the outline of someone shoes, combat boots, worn and scuffed with dirt.

"oh baby, come here sweet boy." the calmness from the voice above me put me in an almost trance like state.

"b-bubby?"

"yes baby it's me, don't worry bubby's here," i felt arms wrap around me, one under my knees and one on my back, carrying me bridal style back to our campsite.

"i-i'm so s-sorry! i j-just w-wanted to help!" i bawled rubbing furiously at my eyes with my small fists.

"oh bubs, i'm not mad. it's alright, i know you just wanted to help me sweet baby."

as we reached the tent i immediately noticed the fire that was roaring before us and the marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers waiting out just for me.

and as the night progressed with laughing, joking, and secret kisses shared between us, i ultimately realized this man was my world, my soulmate.
