Your P.O.V

*3 months ago*

"GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!! STOP HER! SHE'S ESCAPING!"

I run as fast as I can out of the building that i've lived in for the past 10 years, never seeing what is outside the brick walls. I keep looking over my shoulder, watching as the scientists try and catch up to me.
After a while, I lose sight of them, yet I keep running, running till I can't anymore.

*Present time*

Ever since I escaped that building i've been moving from city to city, trying to keep low, trying to keep myself from getting caught and going back to the horrid place. I'm now in New York, just walking down the street with a hoodie on, the hood over my head, getting stared at the whole time because of my big muscles from the serum I was injected with. I have my head down, not watching where i'm going, when suddenly...

"Oof"

I ran into a body, catching their arm before they fall on their bum.

"Oh my god i'm so sorry! I wasn't paying attention! You okay?"
"Oh its okay! Happens to the most of us, I do it quite a bit too, haha, but yea i'm okay."

I steady the person onto their feet before I find myself looking into their bright blue eyes. I'm stare at them awe before I bring myself back to reality.

"Ahem, uh, i'm (y/n) by the way. New to the area." I say sticking out my hand.
"Malcolm, nice to meet you. So what brings you to the area?"
"Oh uh, j-just wanted a change of scenery."
"Nice! I've always wanted to move to a new area but i've never gotten around to it. Hey, how would you like it if I showed you around. Maybe we can get to know each other more?"
"Sure! Sounds nice!"

Malcolm proceeds to walk me around, taking me to shops and buildings. It felt nice to look at all the shops for the first time. We somehow ended up at his apartment, sitting and talking when he asked me a question.

Malcolm's P.O.V.

"So, I know you told me you moved here for a change of scenery, but I know thats not the truth. If you don't want to tell me the real reason, thats okay, but I promise whatever you say stays between us."

(Y/N) looks over at me and I can see she's nervous to tell me. But I reasure her that it's okay. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breathe.

"Well, about 10 years ago I was taken from my family and taken to this remote location out in the middle of some woods, where I was injected with this super soldier serum, experimented on and tortured. Finally, about 3 months ago, I escaped and have been on the run since, trying to stay low so i'm not caught again. And that's how I ended up here."

I sit in disbelief for a couple seconds.

"Oh wow, i-i'm so sorry that happened to you. So does that mean you're not gonna stay long?"
"Probably. Which sucks cuz I just wanna stay in one place and settle in. Maybe even stay here in New York."
"Well why don't you stay here with me?"
"Woah what? Really? We literally just met and you're asking me to stay here with ya?"
"Yea, I don't see why not. Unless you don't want to! Don't feel pressured! Maybe sleep on it."
"No, n-no, I think i'll stay, i'm tired of running. It'll be nice to settle in one place."

We both share a smile before we talk some more.

*1 year later*

It's been a year since (y/n) has moved in with me and we've gotten really close, it's nice to have a close friend to talk with. But I think we're starting to get closer than friends, i'm actually planning on asking her to be my girlfriend tonight.

*later that night*

(Y/n) and decided to go out for dinner tonight, which gives me the perfect opportunity to ask her out. I'm a little nervous though, I hope she feels the same way.

Your P.O.V.

Mal and I have been talking and just having fun all dinner, but towards the end he seems to get a little nervous, which I can't help but notice.

"Hey, you okay?"
"Yes! Just fine, I just.... have to ask you a question."

Malcolm being nervous about the question is making me nervous about it as well.

"O-okay. What is it? It's okay." I smile sweetly at him to hopefully calm his nerves.

"Well uh, um... (y/n), we've been friends for a whole year, and I just wanted to know if.... you would like to be my girlfriend?"

I sit shocked for a second before smiling at Mal.

"I would love to."

He breathes a sigh of relief and I giggle before slowly leaning over, and giving him a quick peck on the lips.

"I'm so glad you said yes, I was afraid you'd say no haha."

I giggle.

"I'm glad I said yes too."

I smile at Mal, he smiles back.

"I love you."
"I love you too Mal."
