"I've been pretty good. I definetly missed you." She turns and kisses his chest, "I'm going to make them let you stay in here with me. I still can't believe we're going to college together. Someday we'll have a house, and our own kids...." Dakota sighs, snuggling into his chest. "Will you stayin here tonight? With me?" She asks, worried he will say no, "I got a pretty big bed, if I do say so myself. And I do." She smiled up at him. "You are now my hostage. You are trapped with me forever." She kisses his chin, smiling. "What are you studying here? I'm doing Biology and genetics. So we can have a horse farm one day. Like we have planned since we were kids. Though, it was a little more joking then. We can go to championship shows and we can breed the best horses around. We can teach our kids to ride on Secret and Whisper, and they can lead their own ponies around while they grow." She had a tear form on her cheek. A tear of happiness. She sat up, nearly falling off his lap, and wrapped her arms around his neck, placing her head on his shoulder. She kissed his shoulder and hopped off. She climbed deeper onto the bed, pulling him with her. He laid down, and she scooched up next to him, wrapping her leg around his and putting her cheek on his shoulder. She covered them up with the blanket again, and yawned. "Class doesn't start until tomorrow. Stay with me until then?" She asked, double checking.

Elijah smiles, playing along. "What have I done to deserve to be held hostage?" He asks kissing her head. When Dakota mentioned about their future he smiles, "I'd love nothing more than to spend the rest of my like with you" he tells her honestly. "I'm studying medicine. I want to be a vet" he tells her, inhaling her scent. "I love your shampoo. It suits you, and it smells amazing" he tells her kissing her lips this time. "You're so beautiful" he says, resting his head on top of hers. "What's your schedule for classes?" He asks. "I can walk you there when classes start tomorrow if you wish?" "I asked the dorm administrator if I could down next to you. He said yes, so now we are neighbors" he tells her. "It won't be like waking up in bed next to you though" he adds. "I remember that. Remember when your parents lost you and found you standing next to a huge draft horse?" He chuckles. "I would love to stay with you, though I need to move in as well" he says. " Would you like to help me unpack? I have a few surprises in my suitcase for you" he tells her. He thought it would be a good compromise.

"I think at 10am I go to advanced genetics studies, and then at 2pm, after my 20min lunch, I go to animal anatomy. I'm off for the rest of tomorrow. My other teacher messed up the start day." She answered him "Sure. I'll help you unpack." She gets up and walks over to his duffel bag, unzipping it.

Elijah nods, "Tommorrow I have molecular and cell biology and animal genetics. The day after I have nutritional physiology and metabolic biochemistry. I also have to attend animal anatomy, which I am a teacher assistant for. I took the class over the summer" He tells her. "I'll be there for your class I believe" he adds. He nods, putting his suitcase down and unzipping it.

" 'Kay." She nods, refolding some of the accidentally unfolded shirts he had on top before adding, "I love you. You're sure we have a serious future together? Actually?"

Elijah smiles, "Oh, babe. I love you, only you. You are my everything and I could not imagine life without you beside me" he reassures her. He puts his own clothes into this dresser. He then moves his toothbrush, toothpaste, and mouthwash into the bathroom. He finishes unpacking before returning to Dakota's room.

"I'm exhausted. I'll, uh, go get dressed in the bathroom real quick." She grabs a pair of volleyball shorts and a tank-top, darting into the bathroom and quickly changing. She walks over to the bed and climbs on, beckoning for him to join her. "Come here, babe." Once he joins her, she climbs onto him and droops her arms and legs to either side. She places her head on his chest, and sighs.

Elijah waits for Dakota to finish. "Would you like to see the surprises I brought with me?" he asks as they get on her bed and settle down.

"Yes." She shoots off the bed, standing excited.

Elijah smiles, brining over three small boxes
