━ you blossom under kindness like a rose.━
Adam looked at the recipe once more along with the final picture before looking at the cake he made. He repeated the gesture a couple of times as he lifted his hand up to the back of his head, scratching it gently. "That... doesn't look the same." His cake was barely holding itself together, the icing was too runny and the writing he'd done on the cake didn't look good at all. Adam gnawed on his bottom lip and looked over at the trash, wondering if he'd be able to redo the whole thing before Ria gets here but he was already too late, honestly. "No, hey, it doesn't look that bad. Don't discourage yourself. As long as it tastes good..." Adam scooped something of the icing to taste it and immediately made a face at the taste of it that resided on his tongue. "Oh god, that's awful. Oh no... What did I do?" Adam looked at his phone like it was the reason behind it all, but he doubted that honestly.
He probably messed up the recipe somewhere.
Adam tipped his head back with an unhappy sound falling from his lips before he moved away from the kitchen, noticing how the lights were back to flickering again, probably because he was feeling a lot of emotions right now, regret definitely being one of them. Don't get him wrong, though. He didn't regret putting all of this together for Ria, he simply regretted how nothing seemed to be working in his favor right now.
He had spent an hour or so putting up decorations around his house and he definitely spent a lot longer filling up all the balloons but it was definitely worth it. He didn't tell Ria that he was doing any of this, actually. He'd kept that part to himself and simply called her and asked her if she wanted to come over to hang out and thankfully, she said yes. So he definitely spent most of his time putting everything together.
Adam snapped out of his thoughts when he heard a knock on the door, his eyes widening slightly. "Okay, don't panic, Adam. Don't panic. You can do this." Adam wiped his unsurprisingly sweaty hands against his thighs and made his way to the door, though he didn't open it all the way and stood in Ria's line of vision so she couldn't see what was behind him. "Hi!" He greeted with a nervous grin forming on his lips. "Um. Okay, this is gonna sound weird for a second but close your eyes, 'kay? Just trust me." He held out his hand for Ria to take so he can guide her into the house, his smile evident on his lips.

Ria knew that not all of her memories were real but she would be lying if she said that she didn’t still cherish the memories of spending her birthday celebrating with her mom or her friends. She was doing her best to get to know some of the other students at the Salvatore School and she had made a few friends so far but they had plans that day and Ria knew that she couldn’t hold that against them. With her mom working she hadn’t known what would happen if she reached out to her dad to see if he was free that day so in the end she had decided against it. They were still trying to find their footing as father and daughter and she knew that the last thing she wanted was to end up making things awkward between them now. Scrolling through her phone she felt a smile touch her lips as she got to Adam’s name. They had been spending quite a bit of time together lately and even though he knew the truth about her and what she had been through he didn’t seem to care one bit and that was something that she hadn’t expected to find in a guy she liked. Most would have been scared off by the fact that she wasn’t meant to be a teenager at all or that she turned into a panther with every full moon but he seemed to take it in his stride and she couldn’t deny that she was grateful to him for that. Tapping his name, her finger hovered over the call button for a moment but before she could press it her phone rang and it was none other than Adam. Answering it, she was surprised when he asked if she wanted to hang out at his place but she didn’t hesitate in saying yes. It definitely beat spending the day on her own like she’d thought that she was going to end up doing, that was for sure. Making her way to his place, she knocked on the door and felt a smile touch her lips as she heard the sound of movement coming from inside. She hadn’t seen his dad’s car so she had a feeling that the man probably wasn’t home but if she was honest spending some time alone with Adam seemed like a pretty good idea right now. “Hey,” she said, her smile widening as he opened the door and her eyes met his. “You look nervous, is everything ok?” she asked, not too sure what was going on right now. The look on Adam’s face was one that she had seen a few times but this time she could tell that he wasn’t nervous because he was scared of losing control and hurting her, this time it was something else. Studying him carefully for a moment as he asked her to close her eyes before telling her to trust him, she nodded. “You know I trust you,” she said, not hesitating a moment more before taking his hand and closing her eyes like he’d asked.

You look nervous, is everything ok?
Adam let out a nervous chuckle before his shoulders lifted and dropped in a quick shrug. "Yeah, that's kinda my default state of existence," he joked in a light-hearted voice before his expression softened at Ria's words, his hand reaching out to gently grasp Ria's hand in his own before he took a step deeper into his house, holding the door with his other hand so it doesn't hit Ria's back.
"Okay, we're gonna take three steps forward." He instructed so he's not just guiding her blindly as he took a step back, another, and finally the last one as he kept Ria's hand in his own and glanced behind him for a moment to make sure everything looked okay. "Okay, you can open your eyes now." Adam said with a soft smile resting on his lips, the lights still flickering a little bit, but it wasn't as bad as before, mainly because his eyes focused on Ria and his attention was solely on her which allowed him to take a breather from all the panicking and fussing.
"Happy birthday!" Adam's lips stretched to form a beaming grin. "I know it looks a bit like a mess, but um, I didn't want today to pass without celebrating your birthday with you." He released her hand for a moment so he could put her birthday hat on, chuckling a little bit when he saw how she looked in it. "Cute." He praised with a grin forming on his lips. "Thank you for being born, Ria." Adam leaned in to press a gentle kiss against her cheek before he leaned back with a soft smile resting on his lips.

Ria hadn’t known at first whether or not she would be able to stay in Mystic Falls after finding her dad but thankfully her mom had agreed. Now Ria was attending the Salvatore School and considering that she had Adam in her life now she really was happy. She had started making a few friends at school and even though in a way it was difficult leaving behind the friends she had memories of, she was able to stay in touch with them and at least she didn’t have to answer constant questions about what had happened when she was taken from her home. She knew that her memories of her times with the friends she’d had before Mystic Falls were fake but they were still real to her and she cherished them just as much as she did the memories she had made with the people she had in her life now. She hadn’t known what to think when Adam had invited her over she had known that she wasn’t going to pass up the chance to spend some time with him. They had been spending a lot of time together lately and the truth was that he meant a lot to her so she always enjoyed being around him. That day was her birthday and she hadn’t had anything planned at all so if she was honest it was nice to have a distraction. “You’ve got a point but it shouldn’t be,” Ria grinned although she kept her eyes closed and out her trust in him as she followed him into the house. “Got it,” she nodded as Adam told her to take three steps forward. She really wasn’t sure what he had planned but she couldn’t wait to find out. Opening her eyes when Adam gave her the go ahead to do so, Ria couldn’t stop a grin from forming on her face as Adam wished her a happy birthday. “Thank you,” she beamed. “It doesn’t look like a mess at all, I love it,” she assured him. “I really wasn’t expecting you to do any of this, you didn’t have to but it means a lot to me that you did,” she added. She hadn’t mentioned that it was her birthday so she was surprised that Adam knew but it was enough to make her heart race nonetheless. As he put a hat on her head, Ria rolled her eyes playfully. “So cheesy,” she teased even though the truth was that she didn’t mind one bit. As he thanked her for being born, Ria’s expression softened and she let her hand rest lightly against his cheek. “Thank you for not making me feel like a freak, I’m lucky to have you in my life,” she said gently. In that moment she wanted to lean in and kiss him but she wasn’t sure whether that was what he wanted. ADAM HAWTHORNE

You’ve got a point but it shouldn’t be, Got it, Thank you, It doesn’t look like a mess at all, I love it, I really wasn’t expecting you to do any of this, you didn’t have to but it means a lot to me that you did,
Adam let out a chuckle at that before his shoulders lifted and dropped in a quick shrug. "Tell that to my brain. It's kinda a mess up there." He joked in a light-hearted manner. He was pretty anxious as he waited for her reaction but he quickly realized that he really had nothing to worry about. He shook his head gently when she thanked him as a way to say that there's no need for any 'thank you's, he'd do it again and again if that's what it takes to make her happy. "I'm glad you do." He beamed from ear to ear as he watched Ria. "How could I not? I wanted you to know just how special you are." Adam meant every word of it. She was really special to him and he wanted her to see that. To believe that. She meant a lot to him and she was there for him during his hardest time, so in a way, he wanted to show her just how grateful he was for her presence in his life and how he seemed to stumble upon her at the exact right time when his life seemed so ... dim. Having her in it made the light return back to him and it was all he ever needed, honestly.
So cheesy, Thank you for not making me feel like a freak, I’m lucky to have you in my life,
Adam let out a chuckle as she called the action cheesy. He shrugged his shoulders, not looking remorseful in the slightest. "Sorry, I couldn't help it. I wanted you to get the full birthday experience, which includes the hat." Adam teased with a grin forming on his lips shortly after. Her next words were more than enough to make his heart skip a beat as his softened eyes relaxed on her again. "The world must be really cruel to see someone like you as a freak. You're honestly one of the most amazing people I've met, Ria. I don't know how I would have managed to get past that time of my life without you. I probably would still be moping to this day. I'm lucky to have you in my life, too." Adam said with a soft smile resting on his lips, enjoying the presence of her warm hand against his cheek. His attention momentarily shifted from her eyes down, down, down until they settled on her lips. Adam bit down on his bottom lip in anticipation and also in a thoughtful manner before he decided 'screw it' and leaned forward to press a quick but meaningful kiss on her lips. "Was that, um, was that okay?"

"Well, you really don't need to be nervous around me," Ria assured him. She really did care about Adam, he was an incredible guy and he had been through so much already but she hoped that she had helped him in a way. When they met he was so upset about losing his ex and he had needed a lot of cheering up. Thankfully he seemed to be doing much better now and she truly was glad about that. She could see that he was worried about how she was going to take the surprise but he didn't need to be. As he said he wanted to show her how special she was, Ria felt a smile form on her face. "You do that all the time, I always feel special when I'm with you," she assured him. He had never once make her feel like she was weird for having been caught up in the spell or for being born a werecreature, every time he looked at her she felt her heart skip a beat and she loved being around him more than she could ever put into words. She had made some friends at the Salvatore School but Adam was the person who meant the most to her and she knew that she was lucky to have him in her life. "It all looks amazing, I can't wait to try it."As Adam spoke again, Ria couldn't help but laugh. "Since it's you I'll wear it. I wouldn't do that for anyone else," she grinned. She knew that was true, she couldn't see herself wearing the hat even for her parents if they tried to talk her into it but for Adam she just couldn't say no. "It is a little strange even as far as being supernatural goes so I get it but I'm glad I have you and a few others who don't care about that." Her friends didn't mind either and that made it so much easier but Adam was the first person she had opened up to and he was still the one she leaned on the most aside from her parents. He had been there for her in the same way that she had always tried to be there for him. "I know you would have figured things out on your own but I'm glad you let me be there for you. You're an incredible guy." She had never met anyone else like him and she had a feeling that she never would. Ria saw the way his eyes drifted down and she wanted to say something but she really didn't know what to say or do. She wanted to kiss him but he had lost his last girlfriend and she knew she didn't want to take advantage. She had also never kissed anyone before but soon enough Adam's lips met hers and changed all of that. The kiss was quick but it meant to much to her and she couldn't help but kiss him back. As he asked if it was okay, Ria's smile returned and she nodded, bringing her hand up to touch her lips for a moment before letting it fall. "More than okay," she assured him. "I'd like to do that again, if that's okay with you," she said, her eyes searching his face for his reaction while she waited for him to answer. "I really like you," she said before she could stop herself. They hadn't defined what they were but Ria was happy even if Adam wanted to take it slow. ADAM HAWTHORNE

━ you blossom under kindness like a rose.━
Well, you really don't need to be nervous around me, You do that all the time, I always feel special when I'm with you, It all looks amazing, I can't wait to try it.
Adam nodded his head at Ria's words. "I know. I appreciate that." Sometimes, Adam wished his anxiety had some sort of 'turn off' button. It would certainly make a lot of things easier for him. Especially right now. "I'm really glad to hear that." He said when Ria mentioned always feeling special whenever she was with him. "My dad teased me about it for a while, so um, try a small bite because it does not look like it tastes good." Adam admitted, with a sheepish chuckle falling from his lips shortly after.
Since it's you I'll wear it. I wouldn't do that for anyone else, It is a little strange even as far as being supernatural goes so I get it but I'm glad I have you and a few others who don't care about that.
"Oh, so I'm getting a special treatment? I'll consider myself very lucky for that." Adam said with a chuckle falling from his lips shortly after. "I can't get over how cute you look with the hat, though." Adam kept looking at her with an endearing look on his face. So cute. "I get that." Adam's voice was soft as he spoke. "And I'll always be there for you, no matter what. With your powers, it just makes you special, Ria. Not a freak." Adam said a moment later, his voice remaining soft as he gave Ria's hand a gentle squeeze.
I know you would have figured things out on your own but I'm glad you let me be there for you. You're an incredible guy. More than okay, I'd like to do that again, if that's okay with you, I really like you,
"You have so much faith in me." Adam said with a brief chuckle falling from his lips. "That's very sweet of you." He added a moment later. "And you're very incredible, too." Adam gave her hand another squeeze and when he finally mustered up the courage to kiss her, it sent sparks flying all around him. When he leaned back and asked if it was okay, he got an answer that made his heart skip a beat. "A-Again?" He repeated, sounding a little surprised as he caught his bottom lip between his teeth momentarily, his heart beating wildly in his chest. Oh god, Adam felt like he was about to pass out right there on the spot. "I really like me too." What?
"No! Not me, you! I really like y-you too!" Adam quickly said, pointing his index finger at her. "And, um, we can do it again. Actually, I'd love to do that again." Adam said almost right away after realizing he still hadn't offered an answer for that.

Ria hadn’t thought that anyone would do something like this for her, her mom had always tried to make each birthday special and she’d had friends that she had been able to hang out with as well but never a guy she liked. She hadn’t realised that she had even wanted that when she had bumped into Adam but there was something so kind and gentle about him that she had taken to straight away. She had known that he was hurting after losing his girlfriend and she had done her best to comfort him but they had come so far since then. He knew exactly what she had been through and he didn’t look at her any differently for it and the truth was that he was one of her favourite people to be around. The first time they met he had asked her out on a date and they had spent quite a bit of time together since then but she knew that she would have been happy just being his friend if that was what he had needed. They had never really defined what they were but now after he had gone to all this trouble she couldn’t deny that she was starting to wonder if perhaps he was ready for more than that and if he was then she knew that she was too. A smile touched Ria’s lips as Adam said that he knew he didn’t need to be nervous around her. She knew that it might not necessarily help too much but a part of her hoped that if she said it enough then he might really start to believe it. “I’m sure it will taste great but besides, it’s the thought that counts,” she said, taking his hand and giving it a gentle squeeze. “It means a lot to me that you even remembered my birthday, let alone that you went to all this trouble.” It wasn’t something that she had expected from Adam at all so the truth was that it really did mean the world to her. As Adam spoke again, Ria couldn’t help but laugh. “You always get special treatment,” she grinned before rolling her eyes playfully as he said he couldn’t get over how quite she looked in the hat. “You’d better make the most of it while you can, it won’t happen again,” she said, doing her best to sound serious only to fail when her smile returned. She couldn’t help it while she was with Adam, he always made her feel happy. Adam’s words were enough to have her smile widening and she nodded. “I believe you. I’m always going to be here for you too, I’m not going anywhere,” she assured him. She knew that he had already been hurt before when he’d lost his girlfriend but nothing he could do would scare her off, she knew that for sure. “Of course I do, you’ve never given me any reason not to,” Ria assured him. She knew that Adam struggled with control but that didn’t matter to her because she knew that her control wasn’t perfect either. They just seemed to get each other and that was something that meant the world to her. Offering him a smile as he said that she was incredible too, the kiss surprised Ria for a moment but she soon felt herself relax and kiss him back and it was like nothing she had ever felt before. “Yes, again,” Ria nodded, her expression gentle as she looked over at Adam. It was her first kiss but even so it was over far too quickly for her liking although she knew that she didn’t want to rush Adam at all. He was the one who had lost someone he cared about so even though this was all new to her she knew that she was happy to take it at his speed. As he spoke again, Adam didn’t even need to clarify for Ria to know what he meant, she was used to that by now. “It’s okay, I knew what you meant,” she assured him, unable to deny that the way he got his words mixed up when he was nervous was incredibly cute. “So would I,” she admitted, stepping closer to him and wrapping her arms around his neck as this time she kissed him.

━ you blossom under kindness like a rose.━
Adam felt a soft smile touch his lips when Ria told him that it's the thought that counts. He nodded his head in agreement with that. "You do have a point." He agreed with a soft chuckle falling from his lips. "Just... try not to hate me when you have a stomach ache earlier." Adam said, having no doubt in his mind that his runny cake was gonna have an unpleasant effect on them one way or the other. It just didn't look that appetizing, honestly. It was probably his first-ever attempt at making a cake, so no wonder it didn't go over well. "Oh, c'mon, of course, I'd remember your birthday." Adam said with a soft smile forming on his lips. "Oh, thank you." He replied when Ria told him that he always gets special treatment. Her words were definitely more than enough to put a smile on his lips. Adam laughed when she told him to make the most of it, already doing so. "I'm really happy to hear that." Adam said with a soft smile resting on his lips, his heart fluttering pleasantly.
"Thank you." Adam said in a soft voice, his eyes relaxing on Ria once again, his smile still visible on his lips. Adam could feel his heart still beating wildly in his chest, his lips still tingling pleasantly. He rambled due to how nervous he was but, of course, he wanted Ria to know that he really liked her too. When he finally gave the answer to Ria that he would love nothing more than to do it again, he heard Ria's words, and instantly, his heart skipped a beat again. He released a surprised noise into the kiss before he began responding back to the kiss, enjoying the feeling of Ria's lips against his own. His hands hesitantly hovered, unsure where to put them before he gingerly wrapped his arms around Ria's middle, holding her close to him while he kissed her. Once they parted from the kiss, Adam's lips were back to tingling pleasantly again. He opened his eyes slowly to let them rest on Ria, his smile coming back to his lips almost right away. "Wow..." He breathed out with a soft chuckle falling from his lips. "Okay, um, I have to ask you this... You don't have to give me an answer now, by the way. You can take all the time you need, I just need to do it before I chicken out or something." Adam breathed out with a nervous chuckle falling from his lips not long after as he wrung his hands nervously. "Would you, um, would you like to be my girlfriend?"

Ria couldn’t believe that Adam had gone to this much trouble for her. Back in Quantico she’d had her friends around her and her mom’s team had been her family so she’d had plenty of people around her to celebrate her birthday with but this was different and if she was honest it was so much better. She hadn’t been looking for someone who could make her feel this way when she bumped into Adam, he had needed a friend and she had wanted to be that for him but now he felt like so much more than that. She had her friends and her pack at the Salvatore School but Adam was the first person she’d started getting to know after she escaped the guy who took her and they had been spending quite a lot of time together ever since. “I could never hate you Adam, you should know that by now,” Ria laughed. He had done all of this for her and even though he was certain that the cake was going to be a complete disaster, Ria didn’t believe that for a minute. “I’ve never had anyone do something like this for me before,” she admitted, her cheeks flushing red slightly as she looked over at him. It was different when it was a family member who put together something like this or just a meal out with friends, Adam had done all of this on his own and that was why it meant the world to her. “It’s true,” she grinned when Adam thanked her. As Adam said he was happy that she wasn’t going anywhere, Ria’s smile softened. “I hate to break it to you but you’re stuck with me now,” she assured him. “You don’t need to thank me,” Ria said gently. She really did have faith in Adam and she never wanted him to doubt that. She knew that he had struggled with his powers but she also knew that he would never hurt her and even if he did then she would be able to take it. She couldn’t deny that it was cute when Adam started rambling, every so often he seemed to get so nervous around her but it was something that Ria had gotten used to and she couldn’t deny that she could understand. He’d lost his last girlfriend and Ria had seen how devastated he was about that when they first met. He had needed time to heal but now he seemed to have done that and the fact that he’d kissed her was proof enough of that. It was over far too soon for Ria’s liking and it was her turn to kiss Adam this time. She could tell that he was surprised but he soon began kissing her back and Ria found herself smiling into the kiss, her arms wrapping around Adam’s neck as his hands wrapped around her in return. As they pulled back, Ria found herself smiling back at Adam. “Wow is right,” she nodded as she started trying to get her breath back. She hadn’t kissed anyone else so she didn’t have anything to compare it to but he had quite literally stolen her breath away and she was pretty sure that was a good sign. As Adam spoke again, Ria couldn’t deny that she was a little nervous about what he was going to ask her but as he asked if she wanted to be his girlfriend it was Ria’s turn to be surprised. “Adam, are you sure you’re ready for that?” she asked gently, not wanting him to rush into anything before he was ready. “Of course I want to be your girlfriend but I don’t want you to feel like you have to ask if you need more time.”ADAM HAWTHORNE
