Story 20 - "I see forever in your eyes"

Authors note:
Sorry it's a day late, I kinda forgot lol.

They both work out to be around 24 in this, and got together around age 16. It is after all the events in the show. It's also after they would defeat Malivore. There's no explanation for it in the story, because I didn't find it relevant, so I'll just say it here. We'll pretend that they used some magic and Hope's blood somehow to stop it, which didn't involve Hope dying. Maybe that doesn't make sense with the canon of the show, but I don't really care tbh. Enjoy :)

Also I'm gonna start put summaries in, like there is on Ao3, so you guys have a rough idea of what to expect from the fics.

In a universe where Malivore has been defeated and the Merge has been prevented, Josie and Hope are celebrating 8 special years together, but Hope is looking for a little more.

Hope whispers to herself, which cloaks the box in the drawer. Then, she puts a bunch of other things in there too, just to make it less suspicious. Hope has been up for hours, getting everything ready for the day, yet she has stayed in her pajamas (she can't have Josie thinking she's been up to something, even if she has). When she turns around, she sees her girlfriend still asleep on the bed. No matter the day, no matter how long it has been, seeing Josie look so peaceful will always make Hope's heart swell. Since she was 7, Josie has had an effect on her, always pulled her close without even trying to. It would be safe to say Hope fell for her the moment they met, and it took her nine years to realize it.

She takes a quick look at the time, knowing she will have to wake Josie now to make sure her plan still goes ahead smoothly. Hope sits on her spot on the bed, then wraps her arms around Josie, leaving soft kisses on the brunette's skin, from her cheek down to her neck. The woman watches as Josie's pout fades and turns into a smile. Josie opens her eyes, only to close them a second later when connecting their lips.

"Morning." The siphoner says, shuffling even closer to Hope.

"Happy eight years, love," Hope responds, still finding it hard to believe. Eight whole years of having Josie by her side. Eight years of perfect, loving memories. And Hope intends to have many more for years to come.

"Happy eight years," Josie repeats, now awake enough to hold Hope in a tight hug.

"No cuddling today, I'm afraid." Hope laughs when Josie buries her head into her neck. There, she can feel Josie huffing, but she knows the girl's attitude will change. "I have stuff planned for us, and some gifts for you."

"I thought we said no gifts this year, just a date night?" Josie says, sitting up, the red bed sheet sliding down to reveal her unicorn pajama top (she is still, and always will be, a child at heart).

"We did, but I couldn't help myself. I just had to spoil you." Hope shrugs.

"Hope...I haven't got you anything." Josie's eyes widen as she panics. Her mind runs through several ideas, desperately thinking of something she could do for Hope at such short notice. It has to be something meaningful, she thinks, something that Hope would love.

"That doesn't bother me. Your company is all I could ever need."

"God, it is way too early for you to be this cheesy!" Josie says (although she secretly loves it) and throws a pillow directly at Hope's face.

"Whatever, now get your ass up!" Hope pushes Josie as she climbs off of the bed, pulling the blanket off of her girlfriend at the same time.

"You're evil!" Josie jokes. Hope rolls her eyes, finally going to get ready.

"Come on! Just one clue. Anything, please?" Josie begs, gripping Hope's hand tighter as she almost stumbles over something. A rock, maybe an animal? She wouldn't know considering Hope had her put on a blindfold before they got in their car and headed off. She wouldn't have even known they reached a place had Hope not got out and opened the passenger door for her.
