december 7th had been the day you and chris waited for all year.
it was the day he had finally asked you to be his girlfriend around 2 years ago.
"y/n." chris turns to you.
"hmmm?" you continue to scroll on your phone.
"matt's gonna pick me up in a few."
"whattt? where are you guys going?"
"i think we're gonna go christmas shopping today."
"the whole day?" you frown.
as much as you wanted to be wrong, you were thinking chris had forgotten about your anniversary.
"yeah. why?"
he wasn't smiling how he usually did when he lied.
he was being serious.
"oh, nothing." you shrug it off.
"okay. wellllll.." he slips a hoodie over his shirt, and leans towards you to give you a kiss. "i'll call you later?"
you nod, trying your best to hide your disappointment.
—
"y/n, it's fine! maybe it was a honest mistake."
"forgetting your anniversary is not an 'honest mistake' nick!"
nick had came over to comfort you after you explained the whole anniversary thing to him.
"you guys didn't make plans beforehand? like, at all?"
you shook your head, and sighed.
"he's so dumb. i hate him!"
"you barely realized?" nick squints his eyes at you.
"out of all days, he went christmas shopping TODAY?"
disappointed was an understatement. you were shocked.
"y/nnnnn.." nick grabs your hands. "it's fine. it's all fine. we're gonna make sure today is great, regardless of what chris did. okay?"
"okay." you fight the urge to cry. "i'm not being sensitive, right?"
"sensitive? if i were you i'd actually hit him with a car."
"god, nick." you giggle a little.
"good thing you have more self control than i do."
"yeah, good thing." you back away from nick.
"but anyway- go get ready and put something cute on. we're going to the cheesecake factory."
"i love the cheesecake factory!"
"duh, everyone likes that place. NOW HURRY!"
"okay, okay! sorry!"
running to your room, you find a embroidered floral crew neck and some high waisted jeans to put on.
doing your hair would take more than 30 minutes at most, so you decided to pull out a few strands of the front pieces of your hair and call it a day.
now you just needed to fix your makeup up a little.
—
"party of.. ?"
"2." nick responds.
"i'd be okay with red robin or something—" you whisper to nick.
the cheesecake factory was packed for some reason.
"we're already here, y/n! it's fine." nick whispers back.
the lady shows us our table, and we sit down.
"here's the menu. i'll come by in a few minutes to see if you guys are ready to order." she grins.
you and nick thank her, then stare at the menus.
"what are you gonna get?" you ask him.
"i gotta pee. like, superrrr bad."
"huh?"
"ill be back super quickly." nick gets up and speed walks away.
"what the hell.." you giggle to yourself, continuing to look at the menu.
-
a few minutes had passed, and nick was nowhere to be seen.
did he ditch you or something?
he couldn't have.
you take another look at the menu, just so you felt occupied with something.
"ahem." a person stops by at your table.
"NICK! what took you so fucking—"
you set down the menu, and look up. it wasn't nick.
it was chris.
he held a bouquet of your favorite flowers on one hand, and a small wrapped gift on the other.
"chris.. ?"
"you didn't think i'd forget, did you?" he asks you, sitting right next to you.
chris handed you the flowers and gift, then gave you a sweet kiss to top it off.
"happy anniversary y/n."
you threw yourself into his arms, stunned he was able to pull his terrible little joke off.
"i was convinced that you forgot!" you push him a little.
"never."
"so nick helped you with this?"
"maybeee."
"you suck. i didn't even get to bring you my gift."
"who cares? at least i'm spending the the rest of the day with you now. you'll give it to me later."
"okay, okay. i'm not opening my gift until you open yours, though."
"fine."
-
the rest of the night went perfect.
you guys had gone to the same arcade you went to on your first date, and chris had won you a teddy bear from a claw machine, just like he did the very first time he took you out as his actual girlfriend.
