During a visit to the mall with your boyfriend Zeke, you feel as he taps on your shoulder excitedly, looking over a specific direction. 

You turn your head to see an arcade, quickly being pulled towards it by Zeke. "I haven't been in one of these since I was a kid!" He exclaims and you laugh. 

Over the entrance of the arcade, there is different claw machines with different prizes inside of them. Zeke chuckles, a smirk on his face.

"I bet I can win ya one of those." He speaks, gesturing one of the machines which has cute plushes of cats, bunnies and puppies. 

You point to the plush you like the most and ask him to get that one and he agrees, clenching his fists and taking deep breaths. 

You walk over the machine, Zeke pushes a coin inside the slot and gets ready to grab your stuffed animal of preference. 

He has three attempts. On the first one, he fails, on the second one he accidentally grabs a different plush and on the third one, he finally picks up the correct animal, but it falls at the last second. 

"Fuck..." Zeke mutters between gritted teeth. He grabs another coin and pushes it in the machine, shaking slightly. "This was just a warm up."

"Come on Zeke! I know you can do it!" You cheer and peck his cheek before he starts to fail again. 

(Time skip)

After an hour and who knows how many wasted coins, Zeke wins nothing and on his face there is only sadness. 

"Zeke, what's wrong?" You ask, taking hold of his hand and using your thumb to rub circles on top of it. 

"I really wanted to get you something..." He explains without moving his eyes off the carpeted floor.

"You don't have to get me anything, honey. We had a lot of laughs and that's what matters to me." You kiss his lips gently as he wraps his arms around you before kissing back. 

"Now..." You pull away. "Let me try." You search through your coin purse and pull out a small coin. The little coin goes inside the machine and it starts up for the millionth time this evening. 

On your first attempt, the claws hold onto a fluffy Golden retriever plush and seconds later falls into the hole. 

"You did it! On your first try!" Zeke hugs you excitedly. "Good job." He whispers pulling away, clearly embarrassed. 

You take the stuffed puppy and look over at Zeke, handing it over to him. "For you." You smile. "What!? Why? You won it."

"Yes, but you really tried so hard to get a plush for me, and Golden retrievers remind me of you." You insist. 

Zeke's eyes water and he hugs the doggy lovingly. "Thank you, babe. I love you so freaking much!" And before you know it your face is being covered in kisses.
