PRE AN:
I know I haven't made it the most clear thing in this story but the events of this story take place at about the time of Roman and Ruby's second anniversary.

~One Year Ago~

Ruby wasn't expecting Roman to do anything for their anniversary. She was hoping that he really won't do anything, she was only sixteen years old. There wasn't much she could do for him in return. Her heart fluttered in excitement and disappointment when he told her that he had something planned for their anniversary. Reluctantly she packed as instructed. Packing lightly, only some pajamas, a few changes of clothes, a bathing suit and a little something sexy for when she and Roman got bored.

Now she was standing in front of a very large log cabin in what seemed like nowhere. Roman couldn't hide the smile on his face, he was clearly proud to show off what he'd spent so much time trying to find for the two of them to enjoy.

"Like it Red?" He said, leaning his head into her shoulder, whispering the words for just her to hear.

Ruby couldn't find the words to respond to him. She only stood staring at the cabin, her eyes going wide with amazement. She'd bought Roman something for their anniversary but it was something tiny in comparison to what he'd gifted to her.

Roman didn't waste time, he grabbed her hand and led her inside of the cabin. It was almost as if Ruby could feel her eyes popping out of her head in amazement. The inside was big and filled with expensive furnishings, much too poor for Romans expensive tastes. It hit her… this wasn't a cabin that Roman paid for or borrowed. He broke in and they were going to stay in it for the rest of the week. She wouldn't bother to ask Roman if what she thought was true or not. There was no need to, she knew she was right. Ruby wasn't going to complain, there was something exciting about staying somewhere she knew she should have been. It was going to be a fun week.

~O~

It was only half way through the week and they were both bored of the routine that they had set up: wake up, eat, spend the whole day doing a new thing, a movie before bed, sex if they were up to it or snuggling if they weren't in the mood. The whole week had been spent in the small cabin and they both wanted out. Roman happened to know of a small town nearby, where they could scroll threw at night without being seen. Ruby hoped she didn't sound too desperate when she agreed to go.

~O~

Roman had been right about the small town, there was absolutely no one to see them. It was only them and the stars tonight. Ruby held his hand as they walked, giggling like a little girl next to him. It was a rare chance they got to go out into public like this. Even if there wasn't anyone there it was nice to be able to be in a place that wasn't enclosed.

The town they were in was a small downtown area, a bunch of strip malls lining each side of the road. They took their time window shopping at each little shop. It wasn't till they almost reached the end when they saw a small jewelry store. In the window was a small, very pretty and expensive looking necklace. Diamonds arranged into a small star. Ruby couldn't help the small look of wanting on her face and Roman picked up on it before she could hide it.

"Wait here…" Roman said before taking off into a direction Ruby couldn't quite catch. In no time, Roman was back, the necklace in hand. Ruby didn't object or ask how he could do such a thing without even setting off an alarm of some sort. She simply put the necklace on.

"Thanks you…" Her voice came out clear. "I only wish I could have helped…" It was her way of hinting at Roman that she wanted to help him with his crime, he picked up on it too.

"Maybe next time Red." He said, taking her and pulling her close he stole a kiss.

The next night, almost all of the items in the windows were gone.

~O~

Small bonus because you guys are so great :D
So what was that small little thing Ruby got for Roman?

It was Sunday, otherwise known as their final day in the stolen cabin. Ruby didn't want to leave but she knew she had to. In their few final moments before they left they'd decided to give each other their final little gifts. Ruby wasn't even shocked that Roman had gotten her something more, he was sweet like that. Now he handed her a small box, the size of a jewelry box. She opened it and was surprised to see two ruby studded earrings with tiny little R's etched into the side along with the date of their anniversary. Ruby blushed as she genially picked up each one.

"I don't have my ears pierced…" She said shyly. Roman rolled his eyes at her.

"I know that silly. They're not for your ears. One goes on the weapon and the other goes somewhere on your clothing. There's some dust in their…. They're powerful. Save them for something important. You have to promise me that much …." He seemed nervous. It was clear that whatever the small objects were for was important.

"I promise…" She shook he head slightly as she gingerly put them back into the box. "Now it's time for you to get my gift!" She smiled as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a small horribly wrapped present. She felt a flash of nervousness as she handed it to him. He opened it and smiled.

"Cute Red…" He pulled out the small wooden replica of his hat. It even had the feather.

Okay so I got to thinking, that last little bonus part with the earring things might be used in the final escape (which is coming soooon chapter 9 or at latest chapter 10). As far as the small hat replica, that won't be used again unless I feel like saying "fuck it" but other than that ... nope. Or maybe... IDEAS!

Anyways I'm posting early because you guys are amazing and your reviews are always so nice. It always makes my day.

On that note: Let me know if you see any mistakes and please review, I love knowing what you guys think.

It's off to chapter 9... til next update ~

PS: please have the best day ever possible, you guys are seriously the best and deserve it.
