He found out a month later that she had road rage like you wouldn’t believe. He had bummed rides off his friends for the first few weeks, but when it came time actually get his cast removed, no one was available. Despite whatever his family or friends (or coworkers, or fellow students, or professors or… well, pretty much anyone) would think, he could think ahead and take other people’s feeling into thought. Sometimes. It was why he hesitated so long to ask Victoria for a ride-she always looked so guilty whenever she saw his cast or sling, and he hated to see her like that

“You didn’t hear anything,” she yelled, her head whipping back up to face him. “I didn’t say anything, and you didn’t hear anything, understand

Shortly after they began to date seriously, Alfred discovered Victoria’s complete inability to cook anything more complex than toast and tea. He ended up eating toast a lot for breakfast, but she agreed to let him handle lunches and dinner.
When his birthday rolled around, however, she refused to let him cook dinner. He couldn’t convince her to just eat out either. She was dead set on making him a proper birthday dinner. In the end, he shrugged, prayed desperately, and did his best to tell her that really all he needed was a hamburger.
His apartment was dark when he got back. For a moment, he wondered if she had forgotten or just gone out to buy something. When he saw that all the windows were open and there was several fans in the kitchen, he scratched his head in confusion.
She was sitting at the table, glaring down at what he thought might have been burnt tree bark, a surprisingly large charcoal brisket, all smothered in what was either gravy or cranberry sauce. Judging by the color, he hoped it was cranberry sauce

They decided that she would fly back to the States with him for Christmas. Apparently the holidays were nothing but a nightmare with her brothers around, and he was desperate to have his family meet her. They would love her, he was certain

There were certain things he knew he was going to love about Victoria forever. He loved the way she would fuss with her uncooperative hair even if they were running late. He loved that she would never admit defeat when it came to learning how to drive a stick shift. He loved that she saved buttons almost obsessively. He loved that after twenty years she still could not cook a steak

Maybe it's because I'm going through as many sentimental videos as I can. Maybe it's because I'm in a relationship with someone who isn't exactly like Alfred but has shown me already innumerable times that he finds me adorable and wonderful just the way I am, with all my insanity and quirks and idiotic mistakes.
But I loved it. I adored it. Alfred is such a sweetheart and I can hear his voice, loving and bright and full of laughter. It's such a wonderful picture of a courtship and relationship, though I'd love to see Victoria's take on Alfred as well, for an interesting perspective.
Gods I'm too sentimental for my own good. -scuttles away-

Not OP!
This is so perfect! It's adorable and fluffy, and I can so see it all happening. I love how you took the incidents from the video/song and morphed them to fit the characters. And your writing is fantastic. It was just aw, and squee, and great!

This is really just so darned cute, A!A. I love how you made the story flow, how their progression in the relationship is both realistic and IC, how you made Victoria a rounded character (not just England with a vagina, as another anon said) and how all her flaws are human flaws and not something over the top. The ending just killed me, so adorable.
