A.N.: The final chapter!
The next few days of school were interesting, to say the least, as Kenny and Violet were now a couple outside of secret meetings in the night on the roof. It was a little embarrassing at first for Violet as he kept holding her hand everywhere they went, kissing her cheek before every departure, and all the attention from their friends. Wendy and Bebe of course dragged her off to the side to confirm everything, giggling and congratulating her, and they endured a few jokes from Stan, Kyle, and mostly Cartman but they were also happy for them.
For their first real date, Violet wanted to do something for Kenny's birthday and since he'd asked for something simple, she decided on a classic home cooked meal and movie. She picked the meal, he picked the movie. Waiting for him to arrive, she prepared angel hair pasta as their main dish. It was easy enough to make and she got the idea from searching for romantic meals online. Thankfully, her aunt and uncle had been quite understanding, and practically beside themselves with joy that she even had a date that they practically helped her plan the night. The two were upstairs, not quite willing to leave them all alone, but gave them their privacy. If only they knew he still came by Mysterion at night when things are slow. She laughed to herself wondering what they'd think of that. Dinner was nearly done when she heard the doorbell and quickly rushed over to answer.
"Hi Kenny, happy birthday!"
"That's what, the 3rd time you've said that to me today?" He laughed and she felt herself blush. After all, she was nervous and wanted to pay him back for her own birthday, and everything else. It was her first real and proper date with Kenny after all.
"Oh, right. Well everything's almost ready. Just wait on the couch, okay?"
"Sure."
Kenny couldn't help but stare after her as she rushed back to the kitchen with a smile. She really was trying to impress him and he admired the flowing black and purple dress she wore, the way it showed off her figure more than he usually saw. Violet herself had to admit Kenny looked nice in his white dress shirt and dark jeans. She was surprised he was so dressed up and silently wondered if he'd had to save up the money for them. After setting the table, she returned to the living room.
"Dinner is ready." She called out in a singsong voice.
After both had eaten their fill, and after many compliments from Kenny, Violet rose to retrieve a surprise. She returned with two cupcakes, each with a candle and set them on the table. She sang him a solo rendition of the birthday song.
"Now, make a wish."
"Why? I already have you." He smirked at her flustered reaction but she quickly recovered.
"Well, just think of something." Kenny gave it a moment of thought, and then quickly blew out the candles. "Oh, I almost forgot your present!" She quickly ran off, and then returned with a small gift bag. "Here you go. I hope you like it."
Kenny curiously peered into the bag and pulled away the brightly colored paper. Beyond it, he pulled out a soft, orange knitted scarf. He instantly recognized it as the one she'd made for class. It was so much nicer than the one he'd ended up turning in.
"I love it. Are you sure I can have it? You worked so hard on it."
"Of course you can! I'm just glad you like it. I made it orange to match your jacket." It suddenly dawned on him that they'd begun that project before she knew of his double life. Even then, she'd thought so highly of him, even if it was as a friend at the time. His parents never even put that much thought into anything, even his birthdays.
"Thanks Violet, it's great. Want to watch the movie now while we eat these cupcakes?"
"Oh, sure, what movie did you pick?"
"The Princess Bride, which I figured we'd both enjoy."
"Good choice."
The two finished their cupcakes, with Kenny going back for seconds, until he was done too, leaving both to focus on the movie. At least partially anyway, since each was quite conscious of the other. Eventually, Kenny decided to lightly wrap an arm around Violet's shoulders. She'd been wondering if he would or not the entire time, and when he did she leaned into him, giving him the cue to hold her tighter. Finally, the movie drew to a close and the final kiss was done. She knew most couples probably kissed when watching sappy movies but she was still caught off guard when Kenny suddenly captured her in a kiss of their own.
"Thank you so much Violet, because this has been the best birthday I've ever had." He still held her close as he spoke, resting his forehead on hers.
"Good, I was hoping to make up for all that you've done for me." He smiled and lightly shook his head.
"You do that every day, by loving me for me." Out of embarrassed habit, she averted her eyes for moment before returning to Kenny's eyes, green staring into blue.
"And you do the same, by loving me for me."
A.N.: This was short but soooooo sweet! I just couldn't resist writing an adorable little date scene for them!
