“I love you”
Shawn Mendes imagine
He was everything I’ve ever wanted and more
Shawn was the perfect guy for me, I just wish he knew it
We grew up together as neighbors, our parents were best friends and we became best friends as well, we even combined our birthday parties every year because we were born on the same day, I’m just a year younger and of course he always had to use that against me especially when he was being over protective like when I wanted to go out to the club with him he said I was too young and things could happen and he wanted to drink not watch me and make sure that nothing happens, I had told him that I was only a year younger than him and could take care of myself but he still wasn’t having it so I pouted all night til he came home to our shared apartment. When I heard the door being pushed open and two sets of foots steps and girly giggles my heart dropped, he was drunk, what if he brought home a girl?
I would never be able to handle seeing some drunk chic all over him, I was immediately relieved when I saw Mindy dragging him in, I got up from the couch and helped him lay down on it.
"what are you doing here?“ I asked Mindy, my other friend
“just making sure Shawn got home safe, he was acting real crazy at the club” she giggled
“what? you were invited?” I asked offended, she was the same age as me and he invited her but not me?
“Uh yeah, he said you didn’t want to go, I was going to come over but he insisted I go with him” she said confused
“are you kidding me? I begged him to let me go with him, he said I was to young and he didn’t feel like watching me” I scoffed “like I need a babysitter or something, but he was just fine making sure that I stayed home alone tonight” now I was fuming
Mindy sighed “ it’s probably not what you think”
“does he like you?” I snapped “ is that what it is? he just didn’t want me to ruin your alone time getting drunk and having fun without me”
“Y/N, that’s definitely not it at all, I told you he likes you”
“he looks at me like he looks at aliyah” I sighed frustrated, I felt like I was going to cry, no matter what i did he just never showed any interest in me
“he does not!” she scoffed “ you are so frustrating, why cant you see that you are amazing people love you and Shawn is definitely one of those people, he loves you more than you realize, when he says "I love you” he doesn’t mean in a best friends way like when I say it, he truly loves you and if you can’t see that then that’s on you Y/N” I sat down on the couch by Shawn’s feet “just talk to him tomorrow okay? he’ll clear everything up” she bends down to give me a hug and presses a kiss to my cheek
Suddenly Shawn jolts up, eyes wide “MINE” he screams, Mindy and I look over at him shocked “I told you, mine” he mumbles and flips over to lay his head in my lap and wrapped his arms around my waist.
Mindy starts slowly walking backwards towards the door “wait are you okay to go home by yourself?” I questioned, I don’t know how much she’s drank “I’m fine besides I live five minutes down the road"she responded waving me off “okay be safe” I said still a little worried
“talk to him” she mouthed pointing at Shawn’s sleeping figure
I sighed looking down at Shawn running my fingers through his curls
“Shawn” I said shaking him, he groaned “do you want to go to your bed?” he nodded rolling off the couch and landing on the floor at my feet before I could even react “Shawn! oh my god are you okay?” I jumped up kneeling on the ground beside him to help him up, he groaned again nodding
It took a few minutes and lots of struggle but I finally got him on his feet and started walking with him down the hall to his bedroom which also took a while because he kept getting distracted by everything, playing with stuff on the table against the way and staring at and touching all the paintings and pictures on the wall. most of the paintings I did and picture of me and Shawn over the year
“your so talented y-you can l-like do you can d-do everything” he mumbled as I layed him in his bed and took off his shoes.
“thank you Shawn” I giggled at his terrible grammar
I lifted the blanket up and over him and gave him a kiss on the cheek and began to walk out of his room when I felt him tugging at my wrist, I went back over to him “what do you need Shawn?”
“I love you” he mumbled dropping his arm and drifting off to sleep
“ I love you too” I whispered back even though I knew he couldn’t hear me because he was asleep

The next morning I woke up to a loud clanging noise, I jumped up and went out the kitchen to see what that noise was, when I reached the kitchen I saw Shawn standing by the counter holding his head with a bottle of ibuprofen in front of him and two cups on the floor that thankfully didn’t break
“ You good?” I giggled
“why are you laughing at my pain” he groaned looking at me
“your the one who decided to go and get drunk” I sassed “and lets not forget to mention that you went without me”
“Y/N I to-”
“and you invited Mindy even though shes the same age as me and you said I couldn’t go because I was too young which didn’t make any sense” i cut him off “mind explaining that to me?”
Shawn sighed “ I just didn’t want you to go because I know how you get when your drunk and the last time we went together it didn’t go well” he sighed
“ are you talking about when you beat that guy up for talking to me?” I said quirking a brow
“I was protecting you” he argued
“from what? a nice guy trying to have a nice conversation” I argued back
“ he grabbed your ass, you don’t deserve to be disrespected like that because even when you pushed him away he did it again"
” okay but I can take care of myself, i’m a big girl Shawn” I was starting to get annoyed because he’s not telling me why it’s such a big deal for me to go to a club with him “Shawn just tell me why I can’t g-”
he cut me off by grabbing my waist and pulling me towards him connecting our lips, I didn’t hesitate to kiss back. Finally, this is finally happening, Iv'e waited so long for this, I never want it to end
he pulled away and put his forehead against mine “ I don’t like taking you to the club with me because guys stare at you and approach you and I hate it, I want you to be mine and only mine, I don’t want any other guy anywhere near you” he said to my queitly
“I’m yours Shawn” I said leaning up to connect our lips again
“that’s all iv'e ever wanted”
