He'd chosen a time when he knew no one else would be in the garden. Aiden would never have been able to talk to 'her' about this in front of anyone else. It was private, and he'd just barely managed to get up the courage to speak to her. At least...that was the plan. But never the less, he'd texted her and asked her to meet him in the garden at midnight; knowing full and well she'd be up for sneaking out of the dorm.
It was perfect, mischevious, she'd never be able to resist. For so long, he'd cared about Sarena. Had sat by watching other guys come and go, all on her whim. He'd even been jealous of a few of them, while simultaneously being scared half to death if he said anything he'd loose her all together. Beneath it all, that was his greatest fear. And one he lived with day in and day out.
With hope, this would go well. He wanted it to; craved for her to know how he felt. Even if Sarena Maxwell never returned the feelings. He was almost certain she thought of him like a brother. They'd spent enough time together for it; having known one another since they were five years old.
But he wasn't five anymore. And he hoped he'd be able to get it all out without messing things up.

Sarena was extremely excited when she had recieved a text from Aiden, telling her to meet him in the gardens at midnight. She loved the thrill of sneaking out at night, plus being alone with Aiden was something she absolutely adored. She had been in love with him for as long as she could remember; and had been with countless guys throughout the years, none of them even coming close to what she felt for Aiden.
As she looked at herself in her full-length mirror, she was pleased with what she saw. A nice black top, light wash skinny jeans, and dark brown uggs completed a cute outfit. She threw on her acid green hoodie as well; it could get cold on these November nights.
Her hair was done like normal; down and in its usual perfect curls. She wore smokey eye liner, and a tad of green apple lip gloss, her favorite. She spritzed herself with some fancy perfume on her way out the door, thankful her dorm mates were heavy sleepers.
As she made her way to the garden, her heart began to thump excitedly, and her thoughts began to race. Why had he asked her here? Hopefully, he had soemthing cool to tell her. But if not, she was just happy to be spending time with him.
When she entered the gardens and saw him, she felt her face light up as she smiled brightly. Seeing him always put her in a better mood, even if she had been in a good mood to begin with.
"Hey there mister." she said, walking over to him and giving him a hug. "What brings us to the gardens on such a beautiful fall night?" she asked.

He was nervous, anxious, and all around fidgetty. Not the cool, calm Aiden he presented to the rest of the school. No one knew the person behind the mask like *she* did, and that was how he liked it. Sometimes, he had to wonder of Rena saw that he cared about her. Other's had, he'd heard them whisper it as they walked down the halls.
It was the sound of her voice that drug him from his thoughts and had him turning around. Sarena was beautiful, as always, and the anxious emotions he'd managed to subdue returned full force. There were doubts there, plaguing thoughts, and memories he'd had since he was five years old. All revolving around the girl who was currently sliding her arms around him to give him a hug. Naturally, he returned it. Giving her a gentle squeeze-unable to help enjoying it a bit more than he should have.
Aiden himself was dressed in dark jeans and a deep green tshirt beneath a black and white checkered hoody. He'd just thrown them on last minute, and he'd never notice the way they fit him or the fact that whatever he wore drug the attention of girls around him. Honestly, he didn't consider himself all that attractive, but he did try to look decent in his own way.
"Hey babe." He greeted in return, the corner of his mouth quirking into a lopsided grin, just for her. "I need to talk to you about something important....and I didn't want anyone else bothering us. Besides, I figured you'd like the idea of sneaking out...." There was a gleam in currently brown eyes that said he knew her all to well. "I know I did..." It was almost like there own form of rebellion; standing up against the curfew and all that.

Sarena continued to hug him for a minute before she stepped away. He was a bit taller than her, which was something she really liked. It made her feel more safe, and more secure. When she stepped away, she took a minute to admire his outfit; not the normal boring clothes you would see guys where. She couldn't stop smiling. He was just so perfect.
"I need to talk to you about something important....and I didn't want anyone else bothering us. Besides, I figured you'd like the idea of sneaking out...."
"You know me too well, of course I would love to sneak out. But you know, there's only a handful of people I would sneak out for." she said with a laugh, then became more serious, seeing as Aiden had something important to tell her. "What did you want to tell me? You know you can tell me anything."

She was beautiful. And he was inwardly disappointed the moment that she pulled away from him. Especially when he would have selfishly loved to keep her near. Rena fit there, against him. Sometimes he wondered if she noticed it to, or if he was the only one. He could dream, couldn't he? Aiden often did.
"I know I can.." He smiled at her then, unable to help feeling nervous. "Its just ah....its hard..." The hazel eyed wizard drug long fingers through his dark hair, eyes sliding shut a moment while he mulled over the best way to go about this. Strange, that he'd thought he had everything figured out. And now, well...that wasn't exactly the case. How was it that being near her managed to wipe out everything in his head?
And it was more than obviously on his mind; as he paced back and forth. Brows scrunched together in consternation while the tell tale flush threatened to take his face. Finally, he moved to face her again, "So here goes...Sarena..." He let out a breath, "I've always had...you've always been special to me...." Teeth tugged at the new ring in his lower lip, frustrated with how hard this was.

Sarena could tell there was something serious going through his mind. She could tell by the way he ran his hands through his hair nervously, the way he was fidgeting and turning away from her. After twelve years of being best friends, she knew him all too well.
"I've always had...you've always been special to me...." she bit her lower lip and smiled, looking towards her feet, trying really hard to hide her blush. Not many guys could make her act that way; giddy, giggly, love struck. Only Aiden.
"You've always been special to me too, Aiden. You can tell me what your thinking, you know I won't judge."
The butterflies came next; she knew she was special to him. Obviously she was special to him. But she knew he wouldn't have her sneak all the way out here just to tell her something she already knew. She walked closer to him, taking his hand in hers. It was something they always did; holding hands, hugging. Things couples do. Yet they weren't a couple, something Rena wanted more than anything. Did he want that for them too? Is that why he called her there tonight?

She was holding his hand; hers a slender fit to his own. And he couldn't help lacing there fingers together. It was habit, and yet at the same time, it was comforting. Oh, he knew she'd never judge him. That was why he knew if she didn't carry the same feelings he had, they'd at least be alright. Weird for a little while, maybe, but alright. Aiden wouldn't have known what to do without her otherwise and he wouldn't be risking there friendship.
Finally he turned to face her now, gaze intent. "I've always been in love with you..." He blurted suddenly, fighting the rise in color that threatened to lift into his face. A sharp breath was taken, and for a moment he had to wonder if that was to much, to sudden. "I've always...had feelings for you, since we first met Rena." Brown eyes glanced to the side, his nerves threatening to catch up to him. There was a reason, you never saw him with anyone. Even when girls followed him around and swooned after him. No one had ever compared to Sarena.
And then there came silence. Nervous, anticipatory silence. As he waited for her reaction; attempting to ignore the rush of blood to his face. Blushing wasn't exactly masculine and that embarassed him more than his blurting his feelings out.

"I've always been in love with you..." she heard the words, and immediately felt like her heart stopped. All that time, she had been in love with him, and he had been in love with her too? The thought of it made her feeling like she was melting, her face light up even more if it were even possible.
"I've always...had feelings for you, since we first met Rena." she heard the words and knew, they were perfect; it was meant to be. She had always had feelings for him too, and words couldn't explain how happy she was that he had told her.
He was so cute when he was embarrased; his golden ireses slid off to the side, hiding from Sarena's gaze. It was impossible for her to make eye contact with him. It was even cuter when he blushed.
"I love you too." she said quitely. "I always have." And before waiting for a reaction, she kissed him on the cheek.

He was quiet, waiting, filled with anticipation. It tightened in his stomach, and he was wondering if he should have just kept quiet. At least, until she began to speak. Hearing her say that she loved him, made him suck in a breath and an inevitable grin break out over his features. Uninhibited, and for her eyes alone. Made better by the press of her lips against his cheek.
Long arms swept around her in a hug, and a relieved breath left him. She'd always loved him? How had he missed it? He'd thought he'd watched, waited, hoped as closely as he could. But that wasn't important now. "Be my girlfriend, Rena?" He requested, even as he shifteed to press a gentle kiss to her cheek. Aiden was happy, and any doubt he'd previously had....was gone.
He'd been waiting for this, for so long. Sarena meant the world to him, and he wanted to make this between them official.

Sarena felt exremely safe as he draped his arms around her. She snuggled her head into his shoulder, thankful for their perfect height difference. They fit together so well, physically and personality wise. This was the happiest she had been in a while, feeling him press his lips against her cheek.
"Be my girlfriend Rena?" she heard him ask, and smiled once again, for the countless time that night. She had been waiting to hear those words for years.
"Of course I'll be your girlfriend, Aiden. I've always wanted to be your girlfriend." how could they have missed out on each other for so long?

That just made him grin out right. "I'm glad, because I've always wanted that to...." He was happy. Truly, happy, in fact. The rest of the school didn't matter, nor did the potential of getting caught out here. Only Rena did, and he wasn't anxious to let her go anytime soon.
"I always just thought you thought of me like a brother..." He admitted, "Otherwise I would have gotten the balls to ask you sooner...." Aiden wished he had asked her sooner. But he intended on making up for lost time, by embracing there new found relationship with one another. And while he hadn't let himself really get any experience with girls, he intended on being a good boyfriend. Not one of those losers who screwed something good up.
His arms gave her a gentle squeeze, and his eyes slid shut a moment. The blush that had stained his face previously having faded away now that he'd managed to get out what he'd wanted to tell her.

"Well I'm very happy you told me, because I always felt this way about you. Never brotherly, always romantically." she said, comfortable just standing there talking to him, thankful for his kind and gentlemenly nature. Aiden wasn't so nice and open with everybody; just Sarena, and maybe a select few others. Rena had watched girls flock around him for years, and she always wondered why he didn't go after any of them, but now she knew why, and the answer was Sarena. Knowing this made her even more happy, if that were possible.
Sarena had been with many guys over the years, pointless relationships that never seemed to last long, none of the guys living up to her standards, all because they weren't Aiden. But they were together now, and that's what mattered. It also helped that Rena knew how to be a good girlfriend.
"You know, I bet our parents will be really happy too. They always seemed to want us to be together." she commented, now that the intesnsity of confessions was over.

She'd always had romantic feelings for him? That just made him want to grin like an over giddy first year. It was nice to know he wasn't the only one to have spent years pining after there best friend. Now, he knew why Rena's relationships always had trouble succeeding. It was because she wasn't interested in them, but Aiden. And that just made him selfishly happy. Unable to help himself, he leaned down to press a kiss to her cheek. Only to chuckle at her comment.
"I bet they will be to. I think our mothers had a bet going about how long it'd take for us to fess up and get together..." He told her, smile becoming lopsided. "I think there going to be happy." Though not as much as he was. He'd lost the blush and relaxed, now that he'd managed to say how he felt. Now that, officially, they were together. Everything seemed right.

"You know, I actually think I heard them talking about the time frame. But I didn't pay much attention to it, because I thought it would never happen." she said, with a laugh. She then looked up at the sky. It was beautiful; the stars sparkled like diomands on the sapphire backround.
Then, without even telling him her plan, she took Aidens hand and began to run, out towards the open feild nearby, which she found one day whilst wandering the vast gardens. It was beautiful meadow; perfect for stargazing. She continued to run, hoping she didn't catch Aiden too offguard.

She had beautiful laughter and it made him grin to hear it. Aiden wouldn't doubt in the least that there parents had been plotting. He wouldn't be surprised at all, if they already knew this was happening right this moment in fact, despite the fact that he and Sarena snuck out of there dorms for this little meeting.
Having known her his entire life, he was more than aware of her little quirks. So while he was surprised when she took off running, dragging him with her...he wasn't caught off guard. Rather he let out a laugh and followed suit, unsure of where they were going or perhaps uncaring. it didn't much matter, he let her take him away. Aiden was a bit curious however, but that was only natural.
