I felt my eyes widen as my heart pounds. My blood rushing as I thumb through the small box of photos l’d found in your room. Full of pictures of me.

I bit my lip as I pushed my bangs to the side, thumbing through more. I found it surprisingly hot that you were watching me so intently. I heard you coming back to the room and quickly pushed the box away sitting back on the bed and pulling my phone out to act normal and try not to draw attention to my flustered state. After a bit of internally debating with myself I can't help but want to take a risk, I took a breath as I looked at you, studying your beautiful face, knowing that after this you'd be my partner in crime forever

“{{user}}…” I reached out carefully taking your hand in mine “I… uhm… I saw one of the boxes you have… of photos… of me… and I just... I want you to know… I h-have a few like that for you too… My heart was pounding, I felt like I was gonna explode, I hoped this would be a positive outcome
