He looked at his girlfriend and slowly, his face lit up with a smile. It was a weak one, but it was warm and genuine. "I think I would really like that. You always make me feel better, I think I would like that very much."
He took her hands and gently pulled her into a hug, unashamed as he buried his face in her hair and just let the comfort of being close to her wash over him. "I'm never going to be able to repay you for how wonderful you are you know. I keep trying to do something special, but you're just so amazing that it never seems enough." He was coming to so many realization lately that it didn't seem like they were going to stop any time soon.

(I'm going to have to reread this at some point to fully brush up on the story. XD )
Slowly he pulled out of the hug, not really wanting it to stop but feeling weird talking to her hair and not her face. "I know that I don't want the same things as my parents, I never have. It's one of the only things I've ever been sure about. If your parents would really let me come live with you during the summers until we finish school here... I... I'd really love that. But..."
He took a deep breath trying not to get swept up in the moment and just announce he was moving in when they had only just started dating, and he had really only just admitted to himself he liked her as more than a friend. "My little sisters will be starting school here next year. Even though I really don't get along with my family... I'd like to be able to be there for them on their first day. Even if..." He trailed off, not wanting to say out loud that they were probably going to follow in his parents footsteps and not his.

He gave her hand a quick squeeze of thanks, liking the way it felt to have her hand in his. "I appreciate that, and I won't forget." A smile tugged the corners of his mouth, but his eyes sparkled with the happiness he was feeling. A new hope for the future had been sparked within him, and it was a wonderful feeling.
As he watched her drink her juice he realized he was touching the snake pendant and just standing there like a lovestruck idiot. He blushed slightly, "so uh. There's this party happening. Should we rejoin it or did you want to do something else?"

His heart skipped, a romantic walk out on the grounds in the dark when they had just decided to start dating? That would be amazing, and also terrifying. Was he meant to do anything special? The panicked thoughts ran through his head in moments as he took in what she had said.
Food first. Yes. Good idea. It would give him time to stop panicking and if someone mentions food, they usually want some.
"I think that sounds fantastic. " Yup. Nice and eloquent response. Good job Jason. He held out his hand for her, "let's grab some food and go for a walk down by the lake. The moon is going to look amazing on it right now."
