It was you and Erik’s six month anniversary, you guys weren’t doing anything huge for it, just getting a sweet treat and hanging out with eachother.

You two had decided to go to the ice cream store you went to on your first date on a whim after the movie you two watched. You had told Erik oh so confidently that you’d pay, you wanted this to be your treat as he’d been the one who paid on your first date.

You two ordered your ice cream flavours of choice before you reached into the pocket where you normally keep your wallet. It wasn’t there. After checking all your pockets, you gave Erik a very sheepish look and an awkward laugh. In return, he slowly raised an eyebrow at you and said,

“Seriously? You forgot your wallet?”

After a sweet but apologetic smile by you, Erik agreed to pay. You smiled gleefully, wrapped your arms around him, then without even thinking about it, the words slipped out,

“Thanks Erik, I love you.”

Neither of you had said that before, and he slowly looked at you, seemingly not knowing what to say.
