He had never been so glad for his height as he was at the moment with the amount of students and staff in the auditorium, he began ticking off the list of people he cared about that he could see but he’d go talk to them later, first and foremost he needed to find Alex and make sure she was alright.

“Alex!” He called when he finally saw her, it was like he had been underwater far longer than his lungs could handle and he had finally reached the surfice and could finally breath, the moment she was within reach he wrapped her up in a hug sighing deeply. “Are you okay? Are you hurt? What happened to you?”

Oliver needed to find Alex, it wasn’t fair, it wasn’t fair for her or him to be with her while he felt like this for someone else, it wasn’t about being with Veronica, what would the older professor even look in someone like him? But Alex deserved better too. “Hey.” He said when he found Alex, last thing he wanted was hurt her, she was his best friend and he had loved her so much but if he didn’t put an end to this now, more people would end up hurt. “Can I peak with you please?”

He rested his hands on her hips and smiled at her, he could feel his heart beating madly against his chest and didn’t quite understand why he was so nervous but he pushed through before he lost his nerve.

“You know I don’t really feel comfortable talking with that many people so, I just… wanted a moment to tell you what I’m grateful for… I’m grateful for your legs.” He began with a little smirk tugging at his lips. “I’m grateful for your butt and your uhm.” He shrugged feelings his cheeks warming. “And your back.” He said running his hands up her back, resting at her shoulder blades. “And your front.” He chuckled his hands moving to her sides. “And your boobs.” He added cupping her breast. “And your shoulders and your arms and your hands.” He said his hands trailing down her shoulders until he had her hands in his. “I’m grateful for your neck.” He leaned forward and placed a kiss against her pulse point. “And your lips.” He kissed a path up her neck and to her lips giving her a chaste lingering kiss. “And your eyes and your face and your hair… Even though it’s always attacking me.” He chuckled threading his fingers through her hair. “And I’m thankful I met you and you pushed to became my friend even though I wasn’t always opened to the idea, I’m thankful through you I met your sister who became my friends and I’m thankful you were always there for me even though I didn’t always want you to be, I’m thankful you invited me and my dad over last year and your parents pretty much adopted us, I’m thankful for them too… And I’m thankful you kissed me here in New Years, even though it freaked me out a little, I went back to school and there was nothing else I could think no matter how much I tried to convince myself that it was just because of tradition and I’m thankful you didn’t push me away and slapped me when I kissed you… I’m thankful we went out and started dating and you let me inside your mind because I’m pretty sure otherwise I’d have thought this wasn’t… Well what it is… I’m just thankful for you because you love me and I love you so much and you gave me friends and a family and I just…Thanks.” He said leaning forward to press his lips against her softly.
