“Oh do we want everyone to know just how beautiful I am? —Someone’s generous today.” Nyx giggled, her hands resting on her boyfriend’s chest as she looked up into his eyes. It was hard to tell him no when he smiled like that. “Mmm, sounds like a perfect idea.”

His hands slid to his girlfriend’s hips, and Cameron could hardly keep the grin from his lips as he met her gaze with his own. “Listen, Nyx- it’s impossible to keep everyone from knowing how beautiful you are, as much as I truly plan to keep you to myself. People tend to notice, you’re hard to ignore.” His lips found her neck, nipping lightly at her skin. “Perfect? I like when you say things like that, makes me think I’m doing this right.”

“Oh shut up.” Nyx laughed, fighting the blush that colored her cheeks. “Stop that! Everyone will notice!”

He leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to his girlfriend’s cheeks. “Let them notice, they should all know how beautiful you are.” Kissing her lips too, he smirked. “Want to get dinner tonight? We can go out, to that Italian restaurant you like.” Cameron swallowed, nervously looking at his shoes. “...I might’ve made reservations.”

[thecameronkane]

“You know,” Cameron started, his lower lip lifting lightly into a smile. “Every time I see you, you just look more beautiful. It’s driving me insane, really.”

Figuring Cameron’s minute would be extended into a few more, the actress was determined to wait outside. It was a cold night, she knew, but she happened to like the snow and it seemed like a good opportunity to enjoy it. Until Cam spoke up first. Nyx stopped at his door, turning her head only enough to look at her boyfriend over her shoulder. “Yeah?”

Even if he knew that Nyx wasn’t angry with him, Cam couldn’t help but close his laptop, not even bothering to save his work as he stood from his desk. “I don’t want you to be mad at me,” Cam confessed, pulling his lower lip between his teeth as he moved to stand in front of her. More often than not, Cam’s anxieties got the best of him when he thought people were angry with him and he didn’t want that to happen now- he didn’t want to upset her, either. “I’m sorry for losing track of time, babe.”

After thirty minutes of waiting for Cameron, Nyx knew he’d gotten lost in his work and forgotten about their date. The brunette didn’t see it as something serious, knowing the boy’s passion for his work and how easily he could get distracted. Inhaling softly, the girl walked back inside the studio and into her boyfriend’s office, leaning in against the entrance. “A little.” She told him, nodding her head at his quick response. “Okay, I’ll wait outside for you.”

It only took a moment for Cameron to realize what he’d said to his girlfriend, and he inhaled sharply. As always, he’d let himself get carried away and while he knew Nyx respected him and his work, Cameron also knew he had no intentions of being a boy who took his girlfriend for granted. Pulling his lower lip between his teeth, Cameron shook his head. “Nyx, wait.”

[thecameronkane]

He’d lost track of how long he’d been working, but when he heard the sounds of footsteps approaching his work station, Cameron knew it’d been far too long. “I’m late again, aren’t I?” Cameron didn’t look up from his keyboard as he spoke the question to his girlfriend, suspecting he already knew the answer. She wouldn’t be angry with him, of course. While most girls in Hollywood were high maintenance enough to get angry over those things, Cameron knew her well enough to know she’d understand if he was a bit late. “I’ll be out in a minute, I promise.”

Cameron ✉ Ryder

Ryder: No, not yet. Soon, I think.

Ryder: Please.

Cameron: Ohhh. My parents want a date for mine with Nyx's like, now.

Cameron: I just.. I didn't think she'd want it, and I'm kind of in awe that she does. Guess you can relate.

Cameron: I'm thinking about taking Nyx away for the holidays, any suggestions? I'd ask Vi for help, but she'd probably give me a talk on the perfect romantic holiday.

[thecameronkane]

Cameron ✉ Ryder

Ryder: I'm sure she is.

Ryder: Yeah, I guess I just didn't see it as you all did. Thank God it turned out okay.

Ryder: That bad.

Cameron: I hope so..

Cameron: With your luck, of course it would. Have you two set a date yet?

Cameron: Sorry 😊 But not sorry

[thecameronkane]

Cameron ✉ Ryder

Ryder: Probably is, all things considered.

Ryder: But she's the one I actually like, it's not the same you know.

Ryder: I can tell.

Cameron: I'll just be happy if she is.

Cameron: Yeah, I guess so. I just can't imagine any girl not wanting to be with you. Noelle included, she's been crazy about you ever since she came here.

Cameron: That bad, huh?

[thecameronkane]

Cameron ✉ Ryder

Ryder: Knowing her, she won't even if she is. Not for a while, at least. Of course I was, I wasn't sure she would want it to be real, you know? Fucked me up for a while.

Ryder: I can't really help it.

Cameron: Violet likes to be private about her romantic life. At least she has lately, so maybe this one's different.

Cameron: When has a girl ever not wanted to be with you? You're you. I'm pretty sure every girl in Hollywood's wanted you at some point, Ry.

Cameron: I know the feeling, ha. I can't stop smiling when she's around.

[thecameronkane]

Cameron ✉ Ryder

Ryder: I suppose.

Ryder: We'll see. Maybe someone shows up. Nah, I was terrified when I asked Noelle for really, to be honest.

Ryder: You smile like an idiot every time you talk about her, I can imagine it's even worse now. ;)

Cameron: Maybe. Still think she's sleeping with her bodyguard, but she won't admit it. Were you? I don't think I've ever seen you nervous.

Cameron: Ha, shut up. You're just as bad about Noelle.

[thecameronkane]

Cameron ✉ Ryder

Ryder: Isn't it? We're fucking cheesy.

Ryder: Yeah, well, I'm pretty sure your sister will cry too when it's her turn. What matters is that it went well. :)

Ryder: Somehow I have a feeling you have too.

Cameron: A bit, yeah. But if it feels this good, I don't mind cheesin' it up.

Cameron: Good lord, you're right. She'll definitely cry. Just not sure who she'd be willing to marry, but you never know. You probably think it was silly I was so nervous, yeah?

Cameron: ...How'd you know?

[thecameronkane]

Cameron ✉ Ryder

Ryder: I know, I know. I'm glad you did it.

Ryder: It's a big step you know, I guess it's natural. Noelle cried too, it was kind of cute. Not in a creepy way.

Cameron: I'm glad I did it too. It's nice knowing she's mine forever c:

Cameron: Ah, that makes me feel better. Freaked me out a bit at first, honestly. I thought I'd done something wrong. You and Violet definitely didn't warn me about that part..

Cameron: She's been smiling all day, though. Fuck.

[thecameronkane]

Cameron ✉ Ryder

Ryder: Finally!

Ryder: Really? Congratualations, man!

Cameron: 😡

Cameron: I WAS NERVOUS, OKAY.

Cameron: Yeah omg she cried, though. But I don't think I've ever seen her that happy???

[thecameronkane]

Cameron ✉ Ryder

Cameron: That was the scariest thing I've ever done omg

Cameron: BUT SHE SAID YES

[thecameronkane]

Cameron ☏ Nyx

Nyx: [As she changes into her clothes, Nyx picks up the phone after hearing her boyfriend's ringtone, a smile gracing her features as she hears his voice.] Mhm, I'm just getting dressed. Are you?

Cameron: [A small laugh leaves his lips, and he smiles, his brow raising.] So you're naked? But yeah, I'm done. I was wondering if you wanted to do something tonight before we head home.

[thecameronkane]

home.

Like most people in the world, Cameron Kane knew that he was lucky. Luckier, even, since he’d been born into Hollywood, and in one of its most beloved families to boot. But regardless of the fact that he’d been raised in this world, Cameron didn’t feel as if he were a part of it. The glamor had more often been his younger twin’s world, and he’d always been a spectator of it. That had been what had caused him to retreat to being off-screen, finding that the pressures of being a writer were less intense than those of being in the spotlight. He was safer, in more ways than one.

Hollywood had never been good to Cameron, despite his innate place inside of it. He’d been granted more privileges than most got in a lifetime, but he’d also been dealt his share of heartbreak and misery. Friends who’d claimed to care for him only wanted his family’s influence and money, and girls often used him for a leg up in their own careers. The world that he ought to have adored for loving him had simply granted him manufactured heartbreak, something that had taken its toll on him and his sanity. In more ways than one. 

Few people knew of Cameron’s struggles, and all of whom did know were either family or a member of the Kane family’s inner circle. A great part of that was due to Violet’s fierce protection of him, and in all truth, Cameron was thankful for that. She’d given him a chance to be normal despite his tendencies, and he couldn’t thank her enough for that. Without her, he’d have lost any chance of happiness - and he never would have ended up with Nyx.

That wasn’t to say that Cameron didn’t have his days filled with struggles. Even with Nyx, and his life going according to plan, things weren’t always sunshine. There were days when he didn’t want to get out of bed, Cameron knew those days better than anyone. On his more cynical days, the boy mockingly called them grey days; because everything about those days was grey. It was on those days that Violet, or now Nyx, would get him out of work, and bring him food before coming to cuddle with him. Now that he was with Nyx, his girlfriend had been a constant on those days, choosing to be with him despite the fact that he was moody and withdrawn and didn’t talk - she’d been his rock. And he loved her for that, even on those grey days.

Hell, on those days he loved her more than he loved anything.

Even if they’d only been dating for the space of maybe eight months, Cameron knew things were serious between them. It was as serious as anyone could get, and they’d been living together for much of that time - leaving him with the belief that they were forever. Perhaps it was childish naiveté that left him thinking the beautiful woman would want to spend her life with him, but he’d made plans, plans that only Violet and Ryder knew of. He’d dragged them both with him to a jewelry shop weeks before, begging them to help as he’d painstakingly gone over every ring in the place, only stopping his relentless hunt when he’d found the perfect ring.

That ring was now tucked away in his pocket, a simple band with three large stones. There was some methodology to the arrangement of the stones, some deeper meaning, but truth be told, Cameron was too nervous now to remember what it had been. His anxiety, surprisingly, wasn’t at an all-time high but he couldn’t help but be nervous. After all, how man times did one propose to their girlfriend?

Hopefully only once.

He’d had girlfriends before, one of them serious - but that relationship paled in comparison to the one he shared  with Nyx now. This one was different, more adult-like. He supposed it was silly to think of it like that, but it was the truth. Being with Nyx made him think of things he’d never once thought of. Marriage, kids, hell- even leaving Hollywood behind had she asked him to. Considering her love for the city, Cameron doubted things would come to that. But he knew he’d do it if she asked. For her, he’d do anything - that much he was sure of.

Hearing the door to their apartment open, Cameron’s gaze flickered around the room. He couldn’t help but exhale a sigh of relief when he realized that his carefully chosen candles - ones of Nyx’s favorite smell, cinnamon spice - had been lit before her entrance, and that the flowers he’d chosen for her had been well-watered. He’d put a lot of effort into that night, and all he wanted was for it to be perfect. 

Catching his lower lip between his teeth, Cameron stood from the couch, moving across the room with a grin. “Hey, love,” he spoke up, hands tugging at his shirt to make himself more presentable. He’d toyed with dressing up a bit more, but considering he hadn’t gone out that day, Cameron knew it was a bit of overkill for him to dress up too much. Trying to ignore the nervous flutter of butterflies in his stomach, he leaned in to press his lips to Nyx’s once he reached her, pulling her close before mumbling against her lips. “Welcome home, I did something special for our anniversary, love.” A small chuckle left his lips, and he kissed her again before groaning against her lips. “Please tell me we don’t have anywhere to be.”
