As she stepped into the apartment she and Hattie shared, above her store, Aimee hummed a pleased little tune. Her visit to the candy store had been impromptu, but pleasant and definitely fruitful. The sweet girl behind the counter had helped her pick out some very nice treats for her Sweet Girl, and she suspected Hattie would be very pleased with the gift.
"Hattie! I'm home!" She sashayed in, box of chocolates clutched under her arm. "And I brought you a present!"
She wondered if Hattie might make some assumptions about what she'd brought. It would be, she thought, a bit funny if she did.

Hattie lay on the couch, her legs propped up on the back of it, and her back and head cascading down to the floor where her dark purple hair spread out under her like some strangely colored river. She had a book in her hands and blinked, looking up at Aimee with a sudden, bright smile. “Is it a kiss? I would very much like a kiss, Aimee.”
She slithered off of the couch, trying to be graceful about it but ended up half rolling onto the floor before she got to her feet and bounded over to her girlfriend, pressing a kiss to her lips. “It’s a kiss now, no matter if you like it or not. Did you have a nice day? I missed you terribly of course. But I’m sure you already knew that would be the case.”
Finally Hattie seemed to notice the box under her arm and she grew still. “...Wait. You actually brought a real gift? Something other than you?”
She hadn’t been expecting it, and her heart felt as though it would explode.

Ugh, Hattie was far too cute. Aimee really hadn't known how lucky she was getting, when she found the cute Senshi in an alleyway and decided that she was going to make Helena hers.
She laughed, softly, watching her tumble off the couch; Hattie wasn't exactly perfectly graceful or elegant, but that was part of her charm, all things considered. They made a slightly odd pair, but Aimee would have it no other way.
"Oh, I always have kisses for you," she laughed, and when Hattie planted one on her lips, she leaned in to steal another one. "They're so nice, how could I ever say no?" But she sighed, and moved the box around so that she could properly offer it.
"I did bring a real gift, yes. I walked past the most lovely candy shop, and of course, whenever I see candy, I think of my sweet girl...." She smiled, pleased with herself. "So of course I had to go get some for you. I hope you enjoy them, darling."

Hattie’s eyes widened and she reached out, taking the box and staring at it for a long moment, trying to gather her thoughts. Of course, as it normally went, when Hattie’s brain was given chocolate, all rational thoughts flitted out of the window and she opened the box without another word and inhaled the sweet, rich scent.
Looking at Aimee, her eyes shining with gratitude and utter excitement. It took only a moment for her to make up the small gremlin mind that had suddenly awoken in her head, and she stuffed one of the pretzels into her mouth, the rod stretching her cheeks out like a hamster.
“...Fank yew.”
It wasn’t polite to talk with her mouthful, and she knew this but. The chocolate was so good. Obviously Aimee had to be thanked. And obviously it had to come from Hattie’s own mouth.
She worked for a moment before managing to break the pretzel in the middle using only her tongue and then inched back over to the couch, curling up on it, body guarding the box of candy. “...You need to tell me where this store is. I need to go.”

Ah, it was precious, how absolutely predictable Hattie was. She looked like she was about to inhale the entirety of the box of chocolates, and Aimee wanted to laugh, but it was just...far, far too cute for her to laugh at. It really was something, how utterly charmed she was by this woman. By the woman she had chosen, and who she intended to keep by her side for the rest of their lives.
"You're welcome," she said, and she leaned in to kiss the tip of Hattie's nose, then moved to sit next to her on the couch. It was also cute, how closely she hoarded her little box of chocolates. As if there was any chance they were going anywhere at all, though Aimee wouldn't have minded if she wanted to share. Of course, that was always sort of unlikely, and so she let go of the possibiltiy with an amused huff.
"I'll take you there, then," Aimee said, "and you can pick out whatever you like. Anything at all." Money was no object, after all, especially when it came to making Hattie happy.
She would by a million boxes of chocolates if it kept making Hattie happy. Anything to keep her precious girl next to her. Anything to keep them bound together.
Anything to make sure that Hattie, unlike Constantin, never left her behind.

Hattie laughed and scrunched her face up with the kiss to her nose, and allowed herself to finish chewing her pretzel, swallowing it with gusto and moving to shove a piece of the marshmallow bar into her mouth as well, nodding at the words. At the idea of going to the candy store and buying some of everything. It sounded wonderful. Delicious. Perfect.
As blissed out as she was on the candy, Hattie hesitated and looked down at the utterly delectable peanut butter cup and after taking a moment to think about it, broke it in half and shoved half into her mouth, and the other half into Aimee’s.
“Mine.” She said softly, mouth filled with candy, eyes filled with what was obviously devotion. “All mine.”
If Aimee took her words to mean that she was hers or the chocolate was hers…either way. Both statements were the absolute truth.
