The feel of his arms encircling her made her feel a little better, it meant she hadn't ruined everything for him. Their deal about holding onto one another was a nice, it always made her feel better in the end, even if she shouldn't have felt better because she was the one who made things difficult. But it didn't feel like it really mattered when he held her close like that, when she could feel his breath just touching her when he leaned against her.
His question surprised her. He really wanted to wear the watch she gave him? Pulling back jerkily, out of surprise, she nodded quickly at him and allowed a small smile to form on her lips. The fact he was asking her to hold his old one for him felt awfully special for some inexplicable reason and she wanted to very badly. Whether it was because that would mean she could see the watch she'd chosen on his wrist, or because she loved looking at his watch he wore currently, it didn't matter, he was asking her to hold onto it for him.
"I'd like that" she told him finally, leaning in to kiss him softly, lingering there.

Her sudden movement surprised him and he thought that maybe she was going to say he couldn't have it all after his bad behaviour. He wouldn't have blamed her for taking it back if she wanted to.
But she smiled and nodded and he responded with a smile of his own when she kissed him. He had blown the start of her date for him, just as he had blown the start of his birthday date for her, but just like the last time, maybe it would be okay from now on.
With a happy sigh, he pulled back slowly and handed her the box back so he could remove the watch he was already wearing. It had been given to him exactly one year previously and had it's own specialness, so he figured there was no other place for it but with a special girl. Without a word he took her left hand and placed the watch on her wrist, making sure the latch snapped shut and would not come off. The gold links were big on her small wrist, but he thought they looked awfully nice, and he smiled at her as he took the watch out of the box and put it on hiw own wrist instead.

When he handed the little box over to her, she gratefully took it, hoping that he wasn't trying to hand it back to her but rather just having her hold onto the slender wooden box. Drew started fiddling with his watch, removed it from his wrist and before she really knew what was happening, the cool metal was being placed around her own wrist, snapped in place, and her boyfriend was inspecting his piece of jewelry to make sure it wouldn't randomly fall from her and be hurt. That would be awful if something did happen to it while the watch ws in her possession, and the thoughts almost scared her, but she figured it wouldn't be too hard to keep it safe.
And then seconds later Drew had attached the watch she bought him to his wrist and her light brown eyes lingered over the piece, looking at it against his skin. The delighted smile spread over her face as she gazed at the watch, happy he seemed to like it at that moment, though hoping he really did like it and it wasn't just because he'd upset her that he had decided to place it around his wrist.
"You know, now that I have your watch, I'm not going to have to rely on you for the time, right?" she asked, her grin forming. While it was true at least for the day, she doubted she would be in possession of his watch for very long, for he'd surely want to take it back after their trip to Hogsmeade was over.
Picking his hand up in hers, the blonde pulled his arm out straight and wrapped it around herself as she slowly spun inward to him, allowing his arm to encircle her waist, but still provide her with the chance to inspect the watch that now belonged on him. "I like it on you."

Drew was thinking he'd have to find another reason to get her to randomly yank on his arm, but it seemed she didn't need much of a reason and he grinned as she twirled herself into him. He placed a kiss on the top of her head and thought that if she wanted to admire her gift on his wrist, he wasn't going to have any problem letting her.
"I like it on me too," he told her giving her another kiss and taking the opportunity to smell her hair. "Thank you for the present. I love it. I love you."

Smiling at both small kisses, Felicity's brown eyes didn't leave his new piece of jewelry. She thought it looked nice with his skin tone, knowing gold didn't look so nice on herself, but she did like it on Drew. Facing her back to him, she took a half a step back so she was up against him and grabbed his other hand to cross it over her stomach, loving the feeling of being in his arms, even if she was the one placing his arms all around her. It was the principle of the matter, not the actions.
"I love you too," she told him, craning her neck around to look up at him with a gentle smile. Hearing those words made her happy, even if sometimes she wasn't always very happy with him, but there was something about hearing those words pieced together in his voice that sent her butterflies scattering everywhere within her body, making her nervous and excited all at once. "So, what did you want to do today?" His birthday, her date, his choice.

He loved having her in his arms and thought it was kind of cool how she had just wrapped herself up in them. It made him feel especially protective and once again he kissed the top of her head, this time adding a little happy dance now that the problem over his question seemed solved.
"I want to do this," he said plainly, a wide grin on his face. He would be perfectly happy if he could spend all day holding her in his arms just like he was. "And then, maybe grab something to eat... and then do this some more." Yup. That would be a perfect birthday in his book.

"You just want to stand here?" she asked, not bothering to turn to look up at him, but instead leaned back into him and pulled his arms tighter. Felicity thought it was an odd want to just stand there all day, besides eating which didn't surprise her any, they both had generally good appetites. Of course, if that was all he wanted to do, it wouldn't bother her any, the blonde would get to stay in his arms, hear his voice, and most of all, just be with him.
Of course, she wasn't sure how long she'd be able to just stand there without jumping into the snow for a little bit. If he really just wanted to stay in that area, she'd have no problems especially as long as she could make a snow angel, make a snowman, throw snowballs. Something at least. And being she was with Drew, she was pretty sure he'd join her...

"Mmm-hmm," Drew hummed happily as she snuggled deeper into his arms. He leaned over her and nuzzled her neck, just glad to be that close to her. "And eat. This and eat and then this again." Sounded like a good plan to him.
Of course, he knew they probably wouldn't just stand there in the snow all day. Knowing Felicity, she'd want to do a little playing and he supposed he wouldn't mind chasing after her with a couple of snowballs or making snow angels with her.
"And maybe we could walk around town a bit?" he asked, figuring they could do a little of that between playing in the snow and the eating part of the day. "Or did you have something planned?"

Tilting her head off to the side so he would have full access to her neck, and so she could feel him better, Felicity closed her eyes and let herself lean into him even more, enjoying the feel of being in his arms. His answer made her smile, it also made her hope even more that her gift wasn't that big of a flop, that he really did like it, and that he wasn't disappointed she hadn't gotten him something else.
Nodding when he asked about walking around town, she thought that was a nice plan. She hadn't ever really wandered around Hogsmeade before and it sounded like a really nice idea. "No, I didn't plan anything today, but to spend it with you doing whatever you wanted to do."
A simple and honest answer. There'd been no plans for the day other than to give him his gift and agree to any plans he made up. The blonde liked spending time with her boyfriend, especially when they weren't fighting and it'd been a while since they had fought, so maybe that little tift they had was meant to happen, but at least it felt like it was over now.

"I already told you what I wanted to do," Drew answered with a wide grin as he started up with his happy swaying dance once again. He was perfectly happy just spending the day with her and while it might be cool to walk around, or play in the snow, or even eat some lunch, the best part would be doing it with her. Okay, so he'd probably still eat lunch if she wasn't there... but still, he wanted to just be with her.

"Yes, you did," she answered him, a little confused why he suddenly said it over. Turning her head so she could sort of look up at him, she smiled before leaning over just enough to kiss his arm for a moment. This, walk around town a bit, eat, and this again. She was happy to do what he wanted, as long as there were no more arguments. Though, again she had to remind herself that she'd rather argue with him than be nice to anyone else either.
Feeling him moving behind her, she tried to keep in beat, unable to do so very often, but she tried anyway. "So, what first?" This, town, which? And lunch would have to come sooner or later, and she wondered where a good place to eat was.

He absolutely loved it when she swayed along with him, making him feel like they absolutely belonged together. She kissed his arm and he leaned his face on the top of her head, enjoying the smell of her hair as he wrapped her up tighter into his arms.
"Do you think we can walk around like this?" he teased as he tried to take a few steps forward, thinking that while he wanted to spend time in town with her, the biggest downfall would be having to let go of her. Of course, there was an easier way that would still keep her close. "I could piggyback you?"

When his arms tightened around her middle, she hummed in response, liking the feel pf being so close to him. What she liked more was when he held her tightly, not even just the closeness, but being his arms, knowing that he'd keep her safe from everything and wouldn't let her go unless it was necessary or she requested it. She liked how protected she felt while there.
"If your legs weren't so long, maybe," she giggled through her teasing insult. He just seemed to be getting taller and taller, and while she'd grown a little bit since they first met, the blonde was nowheres near being a match for his stride. Those few steps all ready had her nearly tumbling and if Drew hadn't been holding her so tightly she might've gone down. However, he stopped after a moment but she wouldn't let him go.
"Really?" she asked him with a big smile, evident in her voice. She loved when he carried her around, even when she knew it was no good for his back. "That might be nice, but you know one of these days I'm going to have to pay you back for all the rides you've given me, right?"

He always thought it was funny how she acted surprised when he offered her piggy backs. Anytime she jumped on him was fine with him. To Drew it was just a good excuse to have her close and it wasn't like she was all that heavy to begin with.
"Actually, I think that's a good point!" he answered as if wondering why he had never thought of that before. "It's my birthday, so I should be getting the piggyback to town." Of course, he knew there was no way she could carry him for very long, but still he jumped slightly and reached a long leg around her middle in a teasing attempt to climb on her back.

Hearing the tone of his voice, Felicity let loose with another bout of giggles, though would never deny him the chance to let her try to give him a piggy back ride. She doubted she could ever actually carry him though; while he wasn't heavy he was heavier than she was, and his body was so long she doubted she could ever properly give him a piggy back ride. But when he started to go for it, she nearly burst out in laughter.
Feeling him jump slightly, as though he needed to do anything more than stand over her to get close enough to her back to tease, she couldn't stop laughing. With his leg wrapping around her, she just continued laughing, though she did let her hand fall to his leg as though actually attempting to let him climb over her to give the ride. She doubted it would go much further though.
