We baked the cupcakes already and now we we're all decorating them to our liking. I stood beside Wilbur, he was making a Lovejoy inspired cupcake and I was just doing whatever.

Every now and then I would feel Wilbur's hand around my waist, I would look up at him and smile, he'd do the same. 

I never knew a single person could make you feel so happy, but now I know. He meant the absolute world to me, I wished I could always be with him, every second of every day. 

I wanted him to know how much I loved him, I needed him to know. 

He's been so kind to me, introducing me to his friends, going out many nights and just getting to explore the world with him, even though he didn't realize why it was such a big deal to me, it still meant a lot.

"Alright, I'm finished!" I said holding up my cupcake, it had light blue frosting on top with white sprinkles covering it, "That's so basic." George said.

"So? It's cute, cuter then yours." I said looking down at his which looked like a blob of white, I don't even wanna know what he was trying to make. 

He rolled his eyes and turned away, "I'm done as well, look chat." Wilbur said holding it up, "Wil that looks lovely!" I said taking a photo of it, he smiled. 

He then got some frosting and put some on my nose, my mouth dropped.

"Oh really?" I said, his smile grew bigger.

I then got some frosting and chased him with it, he ran all the way outside before I finally caught up to him. Once I did I placed the frosting right on his nose, he chuckled.

"PAYBACK!" I shouted, he wiped it off, his cheeks we're rosy red, and his smile was wider then ever. He stepped closer, leaning down to look at me, I smiled.

I wrapped my arms around his neck as he laid his hands on my waist, we just stood there, admiring one another.

He finally spoke, "God you're so beautiful."

I smiled, "Thank you Wil, you-"

"I love you." He said softly.

I froze, "What?" 

He sighed, "I know, I know it's soon but, I love you Venus." 

He stepped back, looking at me. My mind went blank, it's like I couldn't speak. I felt paralyzed in a way. 

"You're the first girl to ever give me butterflies. Every time I see you I get so flustered, and I think to myself, Wow, this girl is really mine. Out of all the other guys out there in this world, she chose me."

"Wil-"

"I'm not finished. I think, she chose me. And I feel so lucky that you chose me, really I'm the luckiest man on this earth. I'm so grateful I get to fall asleep with you on facetime every night, and wake up to see your face in the camera and how beautiful you look. I'm grateful I get to take you on milkshake dates and introduce you to my friends. I love you Venus, you're an amazing girl and, I love you." 

I sighed, "You done yet?"

He nodded, "You are my first boyfriend, ever. And I didn't think I could ever believe in love. I thought, Oh yeah, love is awful! It's fake, it's not real, it's just a waste of time. Then I met you." 

He smiled, I stepped closer, "You taught me how to love, and I didn't think that could ever be possible. But it was, I love you Wilbur, more than you know." 

He wrapped his arms around my waist and leaned down, he planted a soft kiss onto my lips. I smiled into the kiss, pulling away, "Look at us, we're in love." I chuckled.

He smiled, "We sure are."
