       It was your day off today and you were sitting in the living room of your apartment. Last night there was a big party in the faction and you had to dress up, and you had felt uncomfortable all throughout the night. You had never been especially confident, but nights like yesterday would always be the worst. You'd be surrounded by gorgeous girls in sexy dresses, and it would make you even more insecure.

There was always one thing that would help, music. So that's exactly what you were doing, sitting on the couch with a cup of tea in your hand listening to one of your favourite songs:

' '

You were quietly singing along when your boyfriend, Eric, walked in to your apartment -you both had keys to each others' places and would often show up uninvited, not that either of minded. You were so lost in the music that you didn't even notice. When Eric saw you, looking so lost in the music he stopped and decided to watch instead of approaching you.

' '

When he hears what you're listening to, that's when he walks up to you, "Hey Y/N."

You jump slightly and pause the music, "Oh, hey Eric!"

"What are you listening to?" He asking, looking genuinely concerned. You turn the screen of your phone towards him, showing him the song, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," You nod solemnly, "It's just one of those days."

"Wait, is this why you left the party early last night?" You shrug and he takes your hand, "You're not a six out of ten Y/N, not to me. You're my everything, you are the most beautiful girl in the world."

You give him a small smile, "Thank you Eric."

"And you're not plain, you may look simple but there's nothing wrong with that -better than being over the top- but anyone who knows you would know that you have a beautiful, creative mind. You light up a room when you enter it, you don't need to wear skimpy dresses and excessive amounts of makeup to make people like you. But when you do dress up, I don't know about other people, but I can't keep my eyes off of you -well not that I ever can."

You give a genuine chuckle, "I love you, Eric."

"I love you too," He smiles back, giving you a comforting kiss on the forehead.
