My eyes widened with shock, the dilated pupils darting around madly to absorb the beauty of what Shawn had set up. It looked like a scene from a romantic movie, where the guy confesses their love to the girl next door after finally finding the balls to do it.

"What's all this for?" I gasped, turning around slowly to meet his gaze, a wry smile taking over my lips, "Oh my gosh, Shawn! Is this for that girl you always talk about? You never told me her name."

"Yeah, Y/N, about that-"

"Did you bring me out here to make me help you set up? You should've just told me, silly," I gushed excitedly, walking closer to where he stand. We stood toe to toe, my head tilted upwards, his pointed down. Fear was evident in his brown eyes as he chewed on his bottom lip nervously.

"Come on, tell me about your little crush," I teased, edging him on with a small nudge to the side.

"I-I Uh," he stuttered, scrunching his nose up in defeat, "O-Okay."

"Well, she's really pretty. No, actually, she's gorgeous. She's unbelievably beautiful," he chuckled breathily, looking down at as his shuffling feet with edge, "It may sound creepy, but I think I've memorized every single square inch of her face."

"She can make my saddest day happy, a-and she makes me get that funny feeling in my stomach, the one you can only get from roller coasters, y-you know what I'm talking about?" he stumbled, red coloring the smooth skin of his cheeks.

"Butterflies?" I burst out laughing, amused by the innocence of his words.

"Yeah, those. She makes me get butterflies. Everywhere."

"Sometimes it's hard to remember what it was like before I blew up, before I got famous, and I'm afraid that it'll make me forget who I am and where I came from. But she keeps me grounded, she makes me feel like that little thirteen year old kid from Pickering again."

"I really like her, Y/N," he whispered, and I could feel my cheeks match the color of his as his faced neared closer to mine.

"You still haven't told me her name," I murmured, running my tongue along my bottom lip.

"I don't think I need to."

As soon as the words left his mouth, he shut the two inch space between us by pressing his soft pink lips to my chapped ones, gently taking my face with his two large hands. His fingers tangled up in my hair, thumbs rested on the fiery skin of my cheeks.

At first I stood still, in awe at what I'd just been told. I was the girl Shawn was in love with. My lips didn't move with his until the realization hit me, that maybe I was in love with him too. The shameless flirting and nights spent in his arms had to have meant something, right?

Wrapping my arms around his neck, I tugged at the long hair near the nape of his neck, causing him to smile widely into the kiss. He kept me close to him, taking a few steps forward so that I was pressed against a tree, sandwiched between the tough bark of the trunk and the warmth of Shawn's body.

I was the first to pull back, and I smiled lightly as Shawn's brown eyes searched my face in fear.

"Y-You, you kissed me back," he breathed.

The smile didn't leave my face once as I giggled slightly in amusement, "I did, didn't I?"

"Y/N?" he asked, taking my small hum as a sign to continue with his question, "Do you want to, uh, do you want to be my girlfriend? I-I mean only if you-you want, it's okay if-"

Rolling my eyes, I pulled him to me by grasping the back of his neck, connecting our lips once again, sighing in content when I felt the same butterflies, the ones Shawn claimed to get, erupt in my tummy.

"I'm gonna take that as a yes."
