It had been exactly two months since your first official date with Steven. You had taken the initiative to ask him out, knowing that he'd been feeling the same way about you but was holding back from pursuing you romantically. From your conversations with him over the gift shop register, you had gathered that he wasn't the best at small talk and was pretty socially awkward, but you also knew that he was intelligent and self-assured, especially when it came to ancient Egypt. You couldn't figure out why he refused to make the first move with you, but you were sure he'd had his reasons.
Tonight, you were waiting for Steven on the steps of your apartment complex. He had made a huge deal about going out tonight, instructing you to dress for a formal occasion. You were smitten at the idea of Steven going all-out for an anniversary date, as busy as you both were. Steven made you feel like a teenager again, giggling and sneaking around, navigating love through fresh eyes and rose-colored glasses. He could make a fast-food date feel like the most special occasion and you were absolutely head-over-heels.
Then again, so was he. Whenever he thought you didn't notice, Steven studied you like one of the Seven Wonders. His face would light up at the sight of you every time you got together, and he always regarded you as the most important thing in the room no matter where you were. Steven never failed you greet you with chivalry. Whether it be flowers, chocolates, or a cup of coffee during a long workday, he'd never fail to shower you with affection through the little things, letting you know that you were on his mind always. The constant attentiveness never made you uncomfortable. Steven never overstepped your boundaries and only offered you whatever affection was clearly welcome. But Steven had been growing much more confident, more self-assured in your relationship. He'd started being more vulnerable with you, more honest about himself, and despite your growing attraction to him you could not help but feel nervous about it all.
