WARNING! THE FOLLOWING FANFICTION HAS EXTREME FLUFF AND MUSHINESS! YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF SQUEALING! ENJOY :)
Evelyn and Kimi's fight with Jay was completely forgotten about by the time December rolled in. Even in the months first week, the entire castle had been submerged in snow. Evelyn and Michael spent every evening in the room of requirement together. Kimi would come to but after an hour, she would leave the couple alone. Evelyn was grateful. She liked Kimi but wanted to have some time to just be with Michael.
Despite everyone else forgetting about the fight, Evelyn had not. She had been terrified after what Michael told and was constantly looking over her shoulder, keeping an hour out for Jay. Michael had become really protective too. He was almost constantly with Evelyn now and would walk around the castle with his arm wrapped around her waist. But over time Evelyn began to feel safe. She wasn't foolish enough to believe that Jay had forgotten but she had started to believe that as long as Michael was there nothing would go wrong. Michael made her stronger. She was more confident around him and generally happier.
She was sitting on the sofa with a sketchbook open doodling whilst Michael was playing random chords on his guitar. Evelyn had been drawing and writing quite random phrases and quite a few love hearts. One love heart had Titan sitting on top, grinning.
"What are you drawing?" Michael said trying to look over Evelyn's shoulder. Evelyn quickly hid it behind her back. "Let me see!"
"It's private" Evelyn smiled
Michael smiled and seemed to give up. Then he pulled her into a warm hug and kissed her on the cheek. Evelyn was too busy blushing that she didn't notice straight away that he had grabbed the sketch book from behind her back.
"Not fair!" she said making a pathetic snatch at it "You tricked me!"
Michael laughed playfully "I knew it would work! I'm too irresistible for it to have failed"
Michael began to look at her doodles. Evelyn's cheeks burnt bright pink from embarrassment. A lot of the love hearts contained things like 'E.S + M.M' and 'Evelyn and Michael forever'. She had also written out 'Mrs Evelyn Murcia' a few times in various different fonts. She her face behind a pillow before she felt him wrap his arms around her again and kiss her.
"Are you seriously embarrassed about this?" Michael said laughing slightly. Evelyn simply nodded "Why?"
"Because...because it's silly and you might not feel the same and..." Evelyn was still very embarrassed and was struggling to get her words out "We are too young to get married...and you might not even want to get married...or you may but not with me and-"
"Listen" he said taking her hands into his. Evelyn's hands were freezing whilst his were lovely and warm and felt so nice on top of hers "Firstly, I don't doodle but if I did, I would probably be writing similar stuff, just not your surname because I can't spell it. Secondly, I have never been surer about anything as much as I am about the way I feel about you. I love you! Yes we are certainly too young to get married and the thought of the commitment marriage involves scares me sometimes but if I was ever going to marry anyone, it would be you...or Venus"
Evelyn giggled at the thought of Michael and Venus walking down the aisle together, hand in paw "Really?"
"Yes! Really!" he said smiling "But don't get any ideas! I did say we are too young! I don't look good in a suit and certainly don't have enough money for a wedding dress. That and we have only been dating a month; I think my mum would have a heart attack"
"I think you would look great in a suit" Evelyn said as a funny and strange image of Michael in a tweed jacket and red bowtie popped into her head.
"I look sexy in everything" he said with the same cocky smile he usually wore when he was being vain "But I look a lot better in other things?"
"Like what?"
"Like..." he stroked his imaginary moustache before turning back "Like a gorilla costume!"
Evelyn laughed. If she had thought the image of Michael in tweed had been hilarious, the image of Michael in a gorilla suit was side splitting. She could see him wearing it on Halloween, monkeying around "What would I look good in?" she asked expecting him to say leprechaun or chimp or something.
"You can take the ugliest outfit in the world and make it look beautiful" he said smiling at her. He began to play with a loose strand of hair that had broken free from Evelyn's braid "You're too good to be mine, but now that I have you I won't ever let you go. Even if you left me, I would still be there. A piece of my heart will always be yours now, and if you left you would take it with you...leaving me broken"
"Aww" she said smiling "That is the sweetest thing you have ever said! I don't think I could ever leave you, not unless you did something really horrible. I sometimes feel like I'm not good enough for you, like you deserve better"
"There isn't anyone better than you" he said smiling and kissing her on the forehead "You are my angel. You were sent from heaven, and I have proof! Nobody born on earth can be as beautiful as you"
"I am not beautiful" she blushed
"You're wrong" he said "You're perfect! There is nothing about you I would ever want to change"
Evelyn felt like she was made of warm goo. She had never been complimented so much. He pulled her into a hug before letting her go. He picked up his guitar again and looked at her. He looked a little shy all of a sudden.
"I didn't write this but...I learnt it for you" he said smiling "It's another muggle one, not James Blunt this time though. It's by a man called Bruno Mars"
Evelyn crossed her legs over each other and got ready to listen. She loved Michael's voice. When he had sung the last time, it had made her cry.
"Oh, her eyes, her eyes, make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day
Yeah, I know, I know, when I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so, sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look ok, I say"
Evelyn was grinning like an idiot. She was blushing so brightly. He must have memorized all the different string because he didn't even look down at his hands.
"When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are"
Evelyn was starting to feel very self conscience but couldn't take her eyes off him. His voice was same captivating, so enchanting. She couldn't look away.
"Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she let me
Her laugh, her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day
Oh, you know, you know, you know, I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same
So, don't even bother asking if you look ok
You know I'll say
When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are
The way you are, the way you are
Girl you're amazing, just the way you are
When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Cause girl you're amazing, just the way you are. Yeah"
The song ended and Evelyn made a sound that scarily resembled that of a squealing pig. She didn't believe half of the things he had said to her though. She was quite sure he had got it wrong somehow. Michael was the good looking one in the pair. She was just, in her opinion, ordinary.
"You're the amazing one and you know it" she said hugging him before kissing him on the nose "You little sexy cat"
"Amazing, I am. Sexy, certainly. But more so than you? Impossible!" he said laughing "You are intelligent, witty, funny, kind and...Just downright stunning to look at"
"I am not beautiful!"
"In my eyes, you have no flaws. I can only see you're beauty" he said before taking her hand and kissing her knuckle "When I'm with you, I am the luckiest guy alive"
Evelyn wasn't sure what to say. She was certain they could go on complimenting each other for the rest of eternity. Instead she finally gave in. She still believed she wasn't a pretty as he thought but she wasn't going to argue. She would simply blush and smile. The two lay on the sofa together and Evelyn began to read aloud to Michael. This time they were reading a muggle book called 'Twilight' which Michael was having a lot of fun mocking. Michael thought Bella was annoying, Edward was boring and Alice was a little like Kimi. By the end of chapter one, it was time for the two to go their separate ways and get some sleep.
