————————————————————

POV: Your anxiety was acting up and you needed a break. So, Karl took you on a drive to calm your mind. You sat there in the passenger seat forgetting everything that was wrong just admiring him.

————————————————————

There he is, a fluffy haired boy greatly overdue for a haircut sitting next to you in the drivers seat. Moonlight and the sound of rain pattering reverberated throughout the car calming your mind. His jawline soft, paired well with his freckled face, which was easily drawn red. His eyes the prettiest charcoal blue you've ever seen. His nails always painted, most of the time chipped. The way his ripped jeans easily paired with his over sized, thrifted sweater. His sense of style and the way it differed constantly. His lips when he mouthed the lyrics to that one song. His voice and the way it enclosed and eased your mind. The way it reverberated non-stop as if it were tattooed. The way he drove, one hand on the wheel and the other on the gear shift. It was all on your mind at once, clearing the once before bad thoughts. Now only in your mind was the pretty boy sitting next to you.

You're sitting in the passengers seat covered in warmth provided by his hoodie you stole from his slam packed closet. Letting the baggy sleeves hang over your small hands. You're staring at him, letting your chin rest on your hand as it's propped up onto the middle console. He's really into the song playing, bobbing his head up and down and using his free hand to make a "microphone" that he was singing into. You just stared casually mouthing words but it was very shortly when your world turned into a blur. Everything around you silenced, you could feel the weight being lifted off your shoulders as you stared at him just.. being.. him.

He turned his head to look back at you. His eyes full of pure desire. You looked away quickly as if you've just been caught doing something bad. You took your eyes onto something else very quickly in order to play it off, like the tree or the sign that you are going to be passing soon.

He tapped your shoulder in hopes of you being okay. When you turned away quickly, it made him worry.

*tap tap*
"Are you okay? Is the music to loud? Are you overwhelmed?"

You looked at him in the eyes only for a few seconds, due to the fact he was driving and still needed to pay attention to the road. Your eyes beamed in the light the moon radiated as you stared at him once again. He was the best person you could have ever asked for.

— "I'm fine love, and quite the opposite. You know I love loud music it's just eye contact is... scary."

- "Wait.. are you saying IM scary?!"

— "Stupid, your not picking up what I'm putting down. EYE CONTACT is scary."

- "Ohhhhh, ok. We've eaten already but we need gas and I know how much you like gas station snacks."

— "WAIT, are you telling me I can get gummy bears?"

- "I'm telling you that you can get whatever you want that's here."

He pulled into the nearest gas station and parked the car at a free pump. He got out and came over to your side of the car. He opened the door and called out. "My majesty at their finest." It made you blush knowing his dorky self was all yours. He took your hand and walked into the store, twiddling with your fingers.

You both picked out your usual 'late night gas station run' snacks and headed to checked out. He opened the car door for you, you stepped in. He stayed on your side of the car because the gas tank just so happened to be there as well.

As he was pumping gas he was dancing and making funny faces to you as you're sitting in the car. He shook the gas nozzle in the tank and put it back in its original compartment. He got back into the car and continued his jamming session which you soon chimed into. Everything he did was so irresistible. How could you not fall in love with everything he does?

He could tell your mind was cleared after half-hour of driving around. He soon pulled into the brick apartment you two shared. He was your safe place. The anxiety washed away with every moment you spent with him.

He opened the door for you to step in first and raised his arms in grace of being back home. You made your way into the small bedroom and shifted into comfier bottoms.

You crawled into bed shortly followed by him curling himself behind you. He grabbed you by your waist and shifted closer to you. The consistent beating of his chest and the warmth his body radiated helped in putting you to sleep almost instantly. He played with your hair until you slowly drifted off. You were still merely awake when you heard him whisper the words, "Oh, I'm in paradise."
