Your relationship with your boyfriend, Devereux, was thriving, and he never failed to make you happy and loved. He was like a whole forest, fulfilling the dreams of the girl within you.

During arguments, he wouldn't say anything to further anger you. He would patiently listen as you threw harsh words at him, choosing not to retaliate. Instead, he waited for you to calm down before speaking calmly and apologizing, even when it was not his fault. He always had a sweet treat for you when he returned from work, flowers and presents, even on non occasional days. Gift giving was one of his love languages, alongside physical touch and words of affirmation. His genuine words of affirmation always made you blush.

As he prepared to leave for work at his company, you decided to try a TikTok trend where you don't say "I love you" back to your boyfriend.

"I'll go now, love. I love you so much!" Devereux said happily, grabbing his suitcase and putting on his suit.

"Okay, thanks. Bye!" you responded, trying not to laugh.

"What? I said i love you, honey... Did i do something wrong?" His eyes changed as he started to pout and walked towards you while you were lying on the bed. He set down his suitcase and sat beside you.

"What did i do? I'm sorry, please, if i did something wrong, please forgive me..." he held your hand, squeezing it. "I love you, honey" his voice calm and soft.

"Thank you, honey" you said, trying not to laugh.

"Hon, please say you love me back. Don't you love me anymore? I promise I'll buy you a sweet treat when i get home later and a bouquet of flowers. You want new heels, right? I'll buy you lots of plushies. Let's also have a dinner date later. Say you love me back, pretty please..." His voice was pleading, and he pouted while looking at you with puppy eyes.

"Please say you love me back.." Devereux continue to pout while still staring at you with puppy eyes.
