{"Can you reach it?"}

"Artem, can you please come down for a moment?" Y/N asked after walking into the bedroom she shared with her boyfriend, where he was laying on the bed, watching TV.

"Why?" He replied, frowning a little because he definitely preferred the warmth of the bed over basically anything else at the moment, "You should come here."

His girlfriend slightly rolled her eyes as he gestured to the spot next to him before finally getting out from beneath the blanket.

"I need your help," She stated, while he took her hand, following her down the stairs and into the living room.

"Up there," The young woman started, gesturing to the top of their shelf, "is our photo album, but I'm too short to get it."

Shrugging his shoulders, the Russian stepped forward and stretched his arm out.

"Can you reach it?" She questioned, but he shook his head, thinking about another way to get it, a smirk appearing on his lips.

"I could lift you up," He suggested, not even waiting for a reply as he placed his hands on her waist and carefully lifted her off the ground.

"I've got it!" Y/N exclaimed triumphantly, giggling, when he sat her down on the ground again, "Thank you."

She quickly made her way towards the couch and sat down before opening the book that was filled with hundreds of memories from the past three years they had spend together.

"Aww," She said, smiling down at the pictures, while gesturing for her boyfriend to come over, "You have to look at this."

The Russian couldn't help, but smile at his girlfriend's excitement, slowly making his way over to her and taking a seat as well.

Running a hand through his hair, he leaned forward to look at the picture she was pointing at and a smile immediately found it's way onto his lips as the memories returned to his thoughts.

"Artem, what's all of this about?" Y/N asked, crossing her arms in front of her chest, keeping her eyes on him the whole time before they wandered through the room for a brief moment.

To her it seemed like every tiny item in their kitchen was covered in something indefinable.

"I'm sorry, love," Artem said, nervously scratching the back of his neck, taking a few steps towards here, "I was trying to bake something."

His girlfriend's eyes went wide at this statement, her eyebrows were furrowed.

"Why on earth did you want to do that?" She asked, frowning, but she let him wrap his arms around her nevertheless.

He placed a quick kiss on her lips before biting his lip, looking anywhere else than into her eyes.

"It was supposed to be a surprise," He explained, taking a deep breath, "for our anniversary."

Instead of getting mad like he expected her to, Y/N started chuckling, softly brushing a hand through his blondish hair.

"You're such an idiot," She stated, causing him to forget about the nervousness and laugh as well.

Except for their laughter, it was silent for a moment before she spoke up again. "A very cute one."

Artem's smile went even wider as he leaned down to kiss her yet again and definitely not for the last time that evening.

•

"That was funny," He commented, lovingly staring at her through his brown eyes.

"Cleaning up afterwards wasn't," Y/N replied, but had to laugh nevertheless.

Together, they looked at some more pictures, the smile never leaving their lips.

"That was on our three year anniversary," She suddenly said as they were looking at one of the last pictures of the album.

•

"Can I open my eyes now?" Y/N asked as her boyfriend finally stopped guiding her along a rocky way.

"In a few moments," He replied, looking around to check that everything was in place one last time before removing his hand from her eyes.

She excitedly looked around, her eyes widening at the sight in front of her.

Artem had led her through a forest and right to the shore of a small lake, where he had sat out a small picnic with roses laying around the blanket.

"Happy anniversary," He whispered into her ear, wrapping his arms around her from behind before pressing a kiss to her cheek, "I love you."

Y/N turned around in his arms, her eyes lightening up as she looked up at him, her smile mirroring his.

"I love you, too, Artem," She answered, placing her lips on top of his in a soft kiss, "You're the best boyfriend ever."

"I hope so," He replied after they had broken apart and were sitting down on the blanket, admiring the view.

"I can't believe we've already been together for three years," She mumbled, turning around to face him as he tightly wrapped his arms around her again.

"There are many more to come, sweetheart."

•

"That was a great day," Y/N stated, while he placed his arms around her waist, causing her to turn around to face him instead of the album.

"One of the best days of my life," He agreed, pressing a quick kiss to her lips, making her smile go even wider.

The both of them just enjoyed each others company in silence for a few moments, their favorite memories stuck in their minds.

"I love this album," She mumbled after a while, earning a nod from her boyfriend.

"You wanna know what's the best about it?" He asked after placing another kiss on her lips.

Y/N raised her eyebrows as he turned the page to another one that was blank.

"The empty pages that are waiting to be filled with new memories that we'll make," He explained, pulling her closer to him, a huge smile visible on his lips as he leaned in for another kiss, "together."
