Cardan and you had met after a basketball game your Junior year of college before he transferred to your school. this was a year and a half ago.

now, you two had been dating for 7 months; happy and healthy and as easy going as ever. so, for your birthday, you had gotten concert tickets to go see your favorite artist perform on the coast. Cardan being the rich kid that loved to spoiled you, decided to book a hotel room for that weekend and a few extra days as well as pay for everything as his gift to you.

that Friday night was the best night you’d had in a long time. the concert was spectacular, and the dinner and walk on the beach after was even better. exhausted and very satisfied, you went to sleep first in your bed. Cardan walked out of the bathroom, ruffling his black hair dry and hoping to look through pictures and souvenirs with you only to find you passed out under the covers. so, he went to sleep in his bed as well.

you didn’t plan to wake up early at 7 am- it was Cardan who did. it had suddenly gotten warm, like a body had decided to cuddle you out of nowhere. so, you opened your eyes only to find Cardan with his arm under your head, other arm draped over your waist, and legs tangled with yours. closing your eyes, you mumbled a soft “good morning” before cuddling closer.

his response was to sit up and get out of bed. huffing, you followed and gave him a mock glare, messy hair framing your face. all he gave in return was a grin as he moved around the bed. “close your eyes until i say so.” rolling your eyes at the childish command, you did so. he maneuvered you over to stand in front of his bed, then told you to open

lain out over the neat covers were petals of your favorite flowers, along with a tray of your favorite breakfast and a small pile of gifts. a blanket that you wanted a few months ago was wrapped in a ribbon, and then two bouquets of books sat at the side

Cardan crossed his arms over his chest, black t-shirt hiding his pounding heart “do you…like it?”
