The Switch (Sophitz)

Fell in love with you

Sophie's POV

Me and Alvar never said "I love you" to each other yet. So it was a really bold move. But with how's he changed so much in a matter of 2 weeks, what's not to love about him? 

"I love you too, Sophie." he returned, holding me even closer to him. 

"What time is it?" I ask him. 

"It's noon," he answered. "Why?"

"Just wondering. What time are we leaving to the rink?" I ask him. 

"We can go right now if you'd like. Afterwards we can take a stroll around the park close by and then stop by somewhere," I lifted my head. 

"All right then, sounds great," I got off him and went to our bedroom, picking clothes appropriate for it. I put it on, fixing what I could of my hair and slipped on some socks. Alvar was already waiting by the door. I slipped on my shoes and we both made our way to the car. 

We then soon arrived at the rink. I wasn't so bad skating but I knew enough to not fall on my ass every time I went. 

"It's $15 per ticket," the man said. 

"Can we have 2 please?" Alvar asked. 

"The total is $35.49." Alvar started taking out his wallet at the same time as me. 

"Sophie, you're not paying. I am." He insisted. 

"Alvar, I can pay it's no problem," Alvar was faster and had already paid for the tickets. The man gave us 2 wristbands and then we made our way, so we can get our skates. 

"You know I could've paid," I muttered. He grabbed my hand, lacing his fingers with mine.

"But I wanted to. Besides it's not that big a deal," once it was our turn we asked for our skates and put them on. 

Alvar finished his in record time while I didn't even finish the first one yet. But after seeing what a sloppy job I've already done on it, he bent down and helped me. I blushed at the gesture and when he was finished, I held on to his hands and stood up. 

"Thanks," he gave me a smile and kissed the top of my head. Once we got on the ice I put a hand on the railing, while Alvar started skating around the rink, hands behind his back. I soon got comfortable and took a hand off the railing, gliding around, looking at how fantastic Alvar was skating. 

"When were you so good at skating?" I ask him, when got to me. 

"My parents had me take skating lessons when I was younger. They were lots of fun," he said. 

"I remember you telling me about that. But I thought your brother took the lessons?" I remember. 

"He did but they made me do lessons as well," he said. 

"Well you're really good, they really paid off," I say, he smiled. 

"Thanks, and you're not bad yourself," he says. I rolled my eyes. 

"I know I'm not a good skater, but at least I'm not falling on my ass all the time," and on cue, my toe picks got in the ice. As I was about to hit the floor, I felt a pair of arms wrap around me before I hit the ground. 

He helped me up and I blushed. 

"So you were saying?" I rolled my eyes at that. 

"Shut up," I muttered. He chuckled in response. He grabbed my hand and we continued to skate around the rink. 

(Mini time skip) 

We got out of rink and took a seat on one of the benches. Once were done untying the laces of the skates, we left the rink. We then took a stroll through the park, holding hands. After a quiet walk around we took a seat at a bench not a word being said. 

"Thank you." I said. He turned his head, scrunching his face in confusion. 

"What for?" He asks a small smile appearing on his lips.

"For everything. Over the past two weeks you've changed so much. And in a good way of course. You've been kinder, taking me out out on dates, small walks, and have been doing so much for me. You've cooked, baked, helped me with cleaning, and you've been so thoughtful. Just a few weeks ago you would've said no to all of these things. With the way you're personality has changed, that when I realized I fell in love with you," she said.

 My heart raced. Was Alvar that bad a boyfriend to Sophie? And did she just say she fell in love with me? I didn't know how to respond. 

"I just want to make you happy Sophie," she smiled, placing a soft kiss on my right cheek. 

"You do. I love you." 

"I love you too." She smiled resting her head on my shoulder. Was I just saying 'I love you' because I had too? Or did I actually mean it?
