April laughs and takes another drink of beer while Jackson sits across from her. The power is out from of the storm and the 1 week old couple was being very positive about it. April suggested the game and Jackson suggested that they move their beer and Chinese food on the floor and sit on pillows. Candles are everywhere and lighting the house.
"Your turn," Jackson says as he eats a mouth full of chicken.
April smiles and thinks hard about something he doesn't know. "I named a pig after you," His eyebrows go up and he starts to laugh loudly, "I was lonely, and then we turned you into some yummy bacon. Your turn."
"Ahhh ok, I uh I fell in love with you the moment we first slept together. I didn't know it at the time but now, now I do."
April kisses him gently, utterly in love with his words. "It was the same for me. I think I really realized it when I thought you died. When I said I wanted you that night, I was actually saying I love you. Anyway… my turn! I got nose job, after high school. All I could hear was Duckie in my head, I don't regret it."
Jackson smiles at her. "I know," Her eyes widen at him, "Calm down, Lexie accidentally told me when we were dating, your old nose looks just as perfect as the one you have now. Your turn."
"This is getting hard, um I'm following your mom on twitter still, your turn."
"Great! I shouldn't be surprised though. I've wanted to marry you since the pregnancy scare."
April isn't surprised, for some reason. "I somehow always knew that. I still miss Reed, your turn."
"I still have nightmares about the shooting, your turn." The Chinese food is all gone and they move on to their second beers.
"All I dream about is the storm and how you almost died. It haunts me, your turn." She shrugs and hopes he doesn't wake her up every night now.
Jackson stares at the candle and tries to think about something she doesn't know, "I almost met my day. My mom doesn't know about it, so don't tell her. During college I found him and went into a coffee shop he was at. I stared at him while he read the newspaper, I wanted to know why he left me. He walked past me while we were leaving and I held the door open for him, he said thanks and left. I decided that I didn't need to know why and I don't need him in my life." He smiles at her sad expression and realizes this game might be getting to dark. "Your turn."
"I almost gave up my religion," April stares at her hands, ashamed that she even thought about doing that, "The 45 second I thought you were dead, I told God that if you weren't breathing that I would never have faith in him again. I would never look to him for guidance because he was going to be the reason why I would be so lost," April looks at Jackson and he grabs her hand, "Sorry, I know you don't really get it."
"No, no it's fine. I just can't believe you got to that point."
There's a loud beeping noise and the microwave blinks on. The couple doesn't move to turn on the light. They stay exactly where they are and continue to play the game. The beer is gone by the end of the night, April wakes up to a sleeping Jackson and kisses his head, "I was going to say no during the wedding with Matthew. I knew deep down I still loved you, your turn."
