You and Darry had been dating for a little while now. You met in school and were friends but didn’t officially start dating till after you graduated. He was scared that you wouldn’t want to be with him because was always taking care of his brothers and didn’t have a lot of money. After you convinced him you didn’t care about that he asked you out.

You had always been hesitant about intimacy due to past experiences. But Darry never asked for it. You didn’t seem him often because he was always at work so the last thing on his when he came home was that. He just wanted to be around you and hang out.

It was yalls one year anniversary so he took you to your favorite dinner. Because he didn’t have a lot of spare money you two did not go there often but he had put aside enough money for a few month to be able to go there.

You two sit down at a both. When the waiter came over he order two combos of burgers, fries, and shakes, that was all he could afford. If y’all had first started dating he’d be worried about you asking for more but he knew you well enough by now to know you wouldn’t.

When the food came he started to dig in. “It’s good right?” He asks, this time more quietly, looking up at you. He knew he shouldn’t worry but every now and then there was always a little part of him worried you’d leave him and find someone with more money.
