(warning: cuteness overload)
Dixie stirred in her sleep and Noah lightly pet her hair through closed eyes, causing her to exhale calmly and sink deeper into Noah's chest.
They were laying in Dixie's bed cuddling after a long Friday packed with classes and tough soccer practice. They had about an hour until they had to get ready for their double date with Blake and Amelie, but neither of them wanted to get up from their peaceful nap.
Noah readjusted and rolled Dixie to lay next to him, but he held her tighter to make sure she wouldn't be thrown off and roll right off the bed. "Baby?" She slowly opened her eyes and smiled, "Yes?"
"You wanna take a bath?" Dixie beamed, "I love that idea!" "Ok, but we've got to get up now otherwise we won't have time." Dixie slowly stretched awake and yawned. Noah got off the bed, "I'll set it up!"
He went into the bathroom and looked through all the cupboards, he pulled out some soaps and salts, and he found a few candles. It had been a long week for both of them, and he wanted to put in the extra effort to end it on a high note.
He set up the candles around the bath and began running the warm water. He added all of the special products in and called Dixie to come look.
She stepped into the bathroom and her heart melted. She ran up to Noah and planted a tender kiss on his cheek. "I love you!" Noah kissed her soft lips and whispered, "I love you more."
They slowly began undressing each other and stepped into the bath. Dixie sat between his legs and drew pictures on him with the bubbles and Noah gave her delicate kisses on her neck and collarbone.
They spent the next 20 minutes in the bath, only interrupting the silences to share endearing words to one another, before going back again to comfortable silences. They soaked in the feeling of being near each other not having to worry about a thing.
Once they got out of the bath they put on their outfits and got ready for their double date. Dixie wore a floral dress with small heels and light makeup. Noah wore jeans with a plaid button-up shirt and a hoodie over it, which he only wore because he knew Dixie was going to get cold.
They met Blake and Amelie at a fancy restaurant and greeted them with warm hugs. This was only Dixie's second time meeting Amelie, but during their first interaction, she could tell she was a very sweet girl with big life aspirations which Dixie greatly admired.
They sat down at the table and Noah and Blake immediately began talking about soccer, so Dixie turned to Amelie and they made their own side conversation.
Amelie told Dixie all about her goals of spreading political information and using her voice to stick up for human rights. Dixie listened intently and asked many questions, furthering the conversation.
The conversation flowed easily and Dixie was really happy that the two of them got along so well because she was dating Noah's best friend.
Eventually, the two conversations merged together and they all began conversing and laughing together. Blake and Dixie got along great, so did Noah and Amelie. They all enjoyed their dinner and decided to go for a walk and continue talking for a little while more.
They walked down the streets, each couple holding hands. Just as Noah suspected, Dixie got cold after only a few minutes of walking, so he gave her his sweatshirt and Blake did the same with Amelie.
"So how long have you guys been dating?" Amelie blushed, "About 4 months." Dixie shimmied her shoulders and teased them, "Have you said the L word yet?"
Blake joined Amelie in a bright red blush and shyly nodded his head. Amelie turned and gave him a sweet kiss, causing Dixie to squeal, "You guys are so cute!" They all laughed and smiled, as they continued to walk down the roads.
Dixie intertwined her arm around Noah and leaned closer to him as they walked. Noah kissed her head and smiled down at her. She wasn't paying attention to him, instead listening to Amelie and Blake tell a story, as he lovingly admired her.
Her smile was so beautiful and bright, just seeing her so happy made Noah feel complete. They walked together and Dixie held on tightly to his hand, staying attached to his hip.
She looked at their fingers and began rubbing their rings. She looked back up at Noah to find he was already looking at her. She blushed and squeezed his hand, "Forever." Noah kissed her lips gently and held his forehead to hers. He whispered, "and Always."

They made their way back to their respective cars and said their goodbyes. Dixie and Amelie hugged and made plans to hang out again soon.
They got in their cars and Dixie turned on the music, playing her "Love Songs" playlist. Dixie waited for Noah to start the car but he didn't.
She turned to see him staring at her instead. She blushed, "What?" Noah stared for another moment and then smiled warmly, "You're just beautiful."
She blushed at his words, "You," she leaned over and kissed him, "will forever be my favorite person." Noah stared into her eyes and smiled.
But then he suddenly turned away, facing straight forward, and sighed, "Wish I could say the same." Dixie sat back and stared at him confused, "What?"
Noah turned on the car and began backing up, "Well after our children are born, how am I supposed to choose between you and them?"
Dixie's heart exploded and she couldn't stop a huge smile from forming. After a moment of blushing, she sat up and turned down the music, "Children huh? So we're going to have more than one?"
Noah nodded along, "Oh yeah! A boy and two girls, maybe more depending on where life takes us." Dixie joined him in discussing their future plans, "You can teach them to play soccer and I can talk to them about their friendships. And every morning we can make breakfast and eat together around the table."
"And every night we can read them bedtime stories and tuck them each in." "And then, we can fall asleep thinking about our amazing children and the amazing life we've built together." Noah stroked Dixie's hair and smiled, "That sounds perfect."
They spent the rest of the car ride talking about what their future could look like, almost like it was a game. Yet, it was much better than a fun roleplay game because they knew one day it would all be real.
They made it to Dixie's dorm room and she was rather sleepy, but she loved the conversation they were having. They got ready for bed and cuddled up with each other as they continued. Noah held her in his arms and twirled her hair as she was slowly drifting off to sleep.
He spoke softly into her ear, talking her to sleep, "We can move back home with everybody. We can get a cute suburban home just like the ones we grew up in, and raise our own family there."
He continued, "We can have lots of pets, and our kids will be close with all of our family. Addison and you will be sisters-in-law, and she'll be the aunt of your children. Do you think we should name our daughter after her?"
Noah was joking of course, and he didn't expect Dixie to answer as he assumed she was asleep, and he was right. He saw her eyes shut and heard her quiet snores. He admired her again, his future bride sleeping peacefully in his arms.
He kissed her on her cheek, being careful not to wake her, and pulled her closer to rest his head on hers. "Goodnight baby, I love you." He closed his eyes and relaxed.
"Goodnight Bub. And we can't do that, I've already got the names picked out."
