It's the little things she does that make him realize she's worthwhile. Like the little quirks she has, the way her brows furrow when she wants to solve a problem but can't, the way she says she cares about studying, but how he knows underneath she's dying to skip class like the rest of them. He loves how when she finds something funny, she has to tell everyone she knows. It's the same with when she learns something new. After all the time he's spent with her, he realizes more and more how much he loves the little things about her.

Their relationship is a secret. It doesn't really have to be; she finally broke up with that boyfriend of hers and they're a legitimate couple. But something tells the both of them that they're not ready to reveal to the world that they're in a relationship. So they keep it hidden; they spend romantic time away with each other when everyone else leaves to go do something as a group. They spend time in their own little hiding place in a part of the campus that no one's ever seen. And to tell you the truth, he almost likes it better this way. With the fact that it's a secret, no one starts rumors, no one judges them, and no one pays an undue amount of attention. And only he knows what his girlfriend is really like.

They might not always get to spend time together, though. And it's kind of hard to _not_ act like a couple when everyone else is. So she lets him know with little gestures. He's not really a quiet person, and if it were up to him he'd be showing her off for the world to see, and then kissing her in front of everyone, but he can't, so anything is good enough for him. And he swears he's learned to be more patient from all of this. Little things make his day. Like when they sit next to each other, and she leans her legs on his, so that they're barely touching, or when they're sitting so that their arms are holding them up, she discreetly moves her hand behind his so that their arms are crisscrossed. Then there are times when they'll be sitting at the table during meals, when she'll reach her hand over and gently stoke his wrist (in a NOT gross way!!). He doesn't do anything, because he knows that he would lose control and it would become apparent to everyone how he felt about her.

Then there are the times when they are with their groups, yet at the same time they have time alone together. That's when he'll steal a glance at her and stare until she looks over to find him taking in every detail of her face. Then, she quickly smiles and winks, so that no one catches it but him. But then later, she'll look over at him with an expression so full of care and love that he knows he made the right choice of a girlfriend. He lets his guard down for a moment, but then puts it up again when he remembers they're not alone.

When they're together, even if they're not doing couple things, he relishes in every moment of it. Because of her, he's learned that everything doesn't have to be extravagant and blown out of proportion. Now, he doesn't need elaborate gifts or romantic dates anywhere in the world. It's the little things that count, and he wouldn't have it any other way.
