Ben's Note of Sheer Awesome: Hello world! Hello audience! Hello Planty the Potted Plant! (Raise your hand if you get that reference.) Ben here, yet again, with another chapter. I've totes been on a roll with these lately. I guess it's because I really love this ship. It could also be because I have free time for about thirty-three minutes until school comes back. Blagh. School. I'm young. Pity me.
Or don't pit me. It's not like I have the best pity face in the world.
Also, thanks for the cider KCL! Your da bomb!
Side Note: I may update again sometime later today, because I can. So keep an eye out for that! (Chapter 2 for my Loops is also up, so love!)
Prompt 20: Prized Possession
Kitty didn't have a lot of physical things that she cherished.
It wasn't that she didn't like mementoes. Kitty loved having things that reminded her of past events, like pictures and things. But she didn't have too many. It wasn't something she was into a whole lot.
That changed one day.
Kitty was alone on her and Alistair's bench one day. She didn't really have a lot on her mind for once, and she figured the bench would be a good place to go to find something to think about. She smiled as her boyfriend approached and sat next to her.
"How was your day?" she asked him.
Alistair shrugged. "Normal. Had to find Cupid to ask her something, then had to pick something up that I had Briar find for me. Oh, and then I had to find Blondie because she had something else I needed."
Kitty furrowed her eyebrows. That was odd. Alistair, going to meet three girls, all of whom weren't close to Alistair at all. What was that about?
"Anyway," he said. "How was our day?"
Kitty gave him a shrug. "Alright. Not too bad, not too good. In-between," she said with a neutral smile.
"Well… maybe I can tip it toward the good side," Alistair said. "Because I got something for you."
Kitty raised an eyebrow. "Alistair, you know you don't need to pamper me," Kitty said. "All I need is you."
Alistair gave her a smile. "Trust me, I know," he said. "But… in case I'm away from you, you can have this to remember me by," he said. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a golden locket in the shape of a heart.
Kitty looked at it in awe and smiled at her boyfriend. "It's beautiful," she said.
"Hang on, there's something else to it," he said. There was a hidden button on the top of the heart. He clicked it and the flap clicked open. "Look at what's inside," Alistair gestured.
Growing ever more curious, Kitty opened the flap. And a tear trickled from her eye.
It was a picture of them. They were both sitting on their bench, Kitty leaning into Alistair. They both looked… happy. As if… they didn't need anything else. They were complete.
Alistair handed the locket toward Kitty and Kitty grasped in. She closed the heart and put it around her neck. She smiled at him and hugged him. "Thank you," she said. "That... is probably my most prized possession. Thank you."
Alistair smiled and wrapped his arms around his girlfriend. "I love you Kitty. And now, even if I'm not with you… you have that to remind you that I'm never that far away. I'll always be close to your heart." Another tear exited Kitty's eye as she hugged her boyfriend tighter.
BN: Screw it, I'm done. *California sinks under water* Sorry, I just couldn't hold it in anymore! Now, if we all remember last chapter, the moral I wanted was that we don't always need gifts from our loved ones to know they love us. This is kind of the opposite moral, but it had a point. Sometimes, the gift we get from our loved ones is significant and reminds us of their love. There is a time and a place for gifts, and they aren't an always thing, but I do feel as though I portrayed this quite well in the sense that Kitty now has a memory of her and Alistair together close to her heart, quite literally. Also, that locket is a plot point. Hint, hint.
Sorry if this chapter was a bit on the short side. I'm tired, my back hurts, my neck has a bunch of cuts (my brother never worked a razor before and he gave me a haircut), and I have school. WAH! On the bright side, guess who has a date to the Star Wars movie! BEN DOES! Granted, it's with my best friend, who I consider a sister… STILL! IT COUNTS!
Like? Hate? Meh? Let me know in a review! Or don't! Either works!
