Calix was heading off to class when he overheard you speaking with your friends on the phone, talking about how you thought he didn't love you anymore. In truth, he did care but he didn't know how to show it. You were his first girlfriend (and first everything for that matter), and practically the only person he ever cared about apart from his family.

That night, he decided to come home and surprise you with a promise ring, barely even looking at you when he handed it to you, saying one word because he was so shy.

"Here...so you stop thinking I don't love you."

He knew didn't want to be cringey with it (too much affection was cringey to him), but he didn't want you to feel unloved either. His blushing face barely seen under the dim light.
