01. their highschool era. she mentioned wanting to go somewhere nice and he had the means to do it. this was pre-breakup, pre fuck ups, pre everything. just them enjoying one another's company. i'd say this was probably their first date. he just showed up at her place and told her they were going out to dinner. he waited until she got ready (which took fucking forever but he didn't mind) and when she laughed at something stupid he said at the table, he took this photo as a reminder not to fuck it up because he realized he wanted to see her smile every day for the rest of his life. x

02. they're in his hotel room. she wanted to take a stab at photography for the band one night, took it very seriously until she realized it was too much work and she'd rather play the part of being the rockstar's girlfriend. she took a pair of his sweatpants to wear after hours of sight seeing, wanting to spend as much time together as possible. his friends have been texting him nonstop to come meet them at the bar to pregame before their performance but he's much more content just sitting there with her. eventually, he took the camera and started taking pictures of her, instead. some were not so pg, either.

03. they were drunk at a party when she wrote the word 'love' on his hand with a pen and he surprised her by getting it tatted later that night. it was reckless considering he did it at the catacomb's with someone's ink kit and it could have gotten infected, but it came out perfectly. he loves to use that same hand to wrap around her throat (among other things) as a reminder of who she belongs to. he doesn't plan to get rid of it and constantly finds himself looking at it now, remembering that night when they were stupid and in love. he's never felt that kind of freedom since.
