Jahvie - Finding Wonderland 1

I couldn't believe it had already been two years. Looking back it felt like just yesterday when Dahvie and Chess had showed up on my doorstep after failing to let me go. Now I couldn't imagine my life without them.
Over the past two years the strong feelings between Dahvie and I had developed into a steady relationship. We had spent a month or so just being friends, but it was obvious to everyone around us that it wouldn't stay that way for long. By the time July had ended we had started dating, and it really had only gotten better from there on in.
Haley and Bryce believed that Dahvie and I had gone to school together but had lost touch when I dropped out in ninth grade. My mother accepted the story since I had had a friend named David once, but something told me that she didn't truly believe me.
The sun filtering through the curtains on my bedroom window woke me and I groaned, rolling onto my other side to get away from it. I felt warm breath brush my face and heard a soft chuckle.
"You're too cute." Dahvie said quietly. Since he'd had nowhere else to go I had let him stay with me. Once we got together any plans he'd originally had to find his own place had become irrelevant, in his words.
I smiled, still not opening my eyes. "Aaaay, I saw that." Dahvie said. "Come on, I know you're awake."
In an attempt to hide my face I pulled the blankets over my head. "No I'm not." I mumbled. My voice had a raspy morning edge to it.
Dahvie started to pull the blankets off of me and I whined in complaint, trying to wrestle him off. "Dahviiiiee, stop iiiit."
When he stopped I thought I was off the hook, but he quickly adopted another tactic; he found me under the blankets and started kissing me. He started at the base of my jaw, working his way to my lips, biting my bottom lip and teasing me until I responded. I felt him smile when I finally did.
We broke apart and he pushed back the covers. He had somehow ended up lying on top of me.
"You are relentless." I said, toying with a piece of his pinkish-colored hair.
Dahvie smiled. "I know."
At that moment a voice sounded from the doorway. "I must interrupt this sweet moment to report a hungry feline." Chess.
I rolled my eyes. "This is why normal cats aren't supposed to talk."
Dahvie chuckled and rolled off of me, going to feed Chess while I looked for some clothes to wear. We didn't have anything planned for today as far as I knew so I settled on my most comfortable pair of Hot Topic jeans and a Black Craft tee shirt.
I didn't bother brushing my hair, simply running my fingers through it as I made my way to the kitchen to find breakfast. Well, brunch actually. It was noon.
I was searching through the cupboards when Dahvie's arms wrapped around me from behind. He turned me so I was facing him, his arms around my waist. "Do you know what day it is today?" He asked, looking a bit mischievous.
I thought for a moment. "Umm... Friday?"
He nodded slowly. "Mm-hm. And what day of the month?"
I looped my arms around his neck. "I have no idea. Why?"
He frowned. "Do you really not know?"
I shook my head. "Nope. Not a clue."
"It's the sixteenth today." He said, then waited for me to respond. When I didn't he sighed. "It's your birthday tomorrow!"
"Oh. Right. Damn."
Dahvie shook his head. "How did you remember anything before me?" He asked jokingly.
I chuckled. "Honestly? I didn't."

We spent the rest of the day lounging around the house with Chess. When we went to bed that night the cat curled up at our feet.
The next morning Dahvie woke me again, this time with food.
I woke up to find him sitting on the bed next to me with a plate of bacon, eggs and toast. He smiled when I opened my eyes. "Happy birthday babe."
I sat up, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. "Dahves, you're too much." I said as he handed me the plate and pressed a soft kiss to my lips. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." He said. He was quiet for a moment before adding, "I love you."
I smiled. "I love you too."

Once I had finished breakfast in bed I followed Dahvie to the living room where he sat me down on the couch. "I have a present for you." He said, picking up a red birthday bag stuffed with tissue paper to hide it's contents. "It's not much, but I think you'll like it."
He sat down beside me and put the bag on my lap. As I started pulling out the tissue paper I asked, "If it's 'not much' then why is it heavy?"
Dahvie smirked. "You'll see."
I removed the last piece of paper and chuckled. It was a bottle of Jack Daniels with a bow on it. "You know me too well."
Dahvie smiled. "You'd better share that with me tonight." He said.
"Oh, I will. Don't you worry."
I set the bottle on the coffee table and started to clean up the tissue paper when Dahvie said, "There, uh... There's one more thing."
Something in his voice made me stop what I was doing and look over at him. He looked nervous. Really nervous. He took a deep breath and let it out before speaking.
"Jayy. You know that I love you more than life itself. You're the missing piece to my puzzle. My everything. And there's no place I'd rather be than right here with you. So..."
He stood up from the couch, pulling something small and black out of his pocket before getting down on one knee.
I gasped. "Oh my god. Dahvie, are you serious?"
A smile turned up the corners of his lips as he opened the small black box. Inside was a ring with one sparkling ruby surrounded by tiny diamonds. "Jayy, will you marry me?"
