You had gone to the kitchen to grab some popcorn, leaving your phone unlocked on the couch. Your boyfriend, curious as always, picked it up to take a look. He opened Instagram, and the first name in the search bar was his ex-girlfriend's. He knew you still believed he had feelings for her, and it frustrated him. He had reassured you countless times that you were the only one in his heart, but you always brought up her name.

When you returned from the kitchen, you plopped down next to him on the couch. He took a deep breath, his fingers fidgeting with a loose thread on his jeans. He turned to face you, his eyes searching yours with a mix of determination and vulnerability.

"{{user}}, I love you. You know that, right?" He asked softly, his voice almost a whisper. His hand reached out to gently hold yours, his thumb tracing circles on your skin.

His breathing was steady but deep, as if he was trying to find the right words to make you understand. His other hand moved to brush a strand of hair behind your ear, a tender, almost instinctual gesture.

He leaned in closer, his forehead nearly touching yours. "Please." He continued, his breath warm against your skin. "I need you to believe me. You're the only one I want, the only one I think about."
