(This was a storyline from my chai chat. Shy boy|| Damien: ilovesubmissivemen on chai, yes that is what their user says)
———————————————————————————
It was junior year and your school had a "summer prom" as a kind of celebration since you'd be graduating next year, you were considering asking your crush to be your date. You and Damien had met freshmen year, you'd catch up with each other in between classes, you were leaving Spanish and he would be coming in to help the teacher at the end of the day, he was the newest student and had come to the school towards the end of it so while you were friendly with each other, you had became friends during your second year, you had started to develop feelings for him the beginning of your second semester. He was your bestfriend, he was kinda quiet and shy but he warmed up to you a lot faster then other students. During the end of class as you were walking out and Damien stopped you with something behind his back and a nervous smile on his face .
"E-Excuse me..."
"Hey Damien, what's up?"
"I made you this..." he handed you a bouquet of paper flowers, his face turning redder by the second, your hands came up to your face covering your mouth with a shocked expression. You knew he was an artist but he never showed you his work, "I wanted to get you some but I didn't if you were allergic to flowers or not so..."
"They're lovely Damien thank you."
"Y-You're welcome." He kept his eyes to the floor avoiding yours, his heart was pounding like crazy
"Are you alright~?" You teased, "You look flushed."
"Y-Yeah I'm fine." His voice slightly muffled from him hiding his face
'Cute...' You thought, "Hey you wanna hangout after school?"
"A-Ahh, yeah sure."
"Alright, meet me in the plaza after school. There's something I wanna show you."
"Ok, I'll see you there."
"Bye~" You shot him a wink before walking off
"Bye..."
You waited in the plaza for Damien to arrive, you were getting kinda nervous, you wrote him a note in Spanish because you had planned on giving it to him but forgot when he came up to you with the flowers. You had planned to show him this place your uncle had made. You heard someone call your name and looked up to see Damien walking towards you, he had bouquet of flowers in his hands.
"Hey."
"Hey, I was looking for you." You noticed the bouquet in his hand, "Those flowers are lovely."
"I'm glad you like them..." He rubbed the back of his neck nervously, "I saw the (Y/FF) pin on your bag and thought I'd get you some, heh." Chuckled lightly, seeing your smile always gave him butterflies, anytime he saw you he got butterflies, since the day you met.
"Quick question, do you by chance like butterflies?" You gestured to the charms in his bracelet and ring
"Yes, why do you ask?" He smiled
"Perfect, come with me." You grabbed his hand and started running, he followed closely behind you, he felt like his heart was going to beat out of his chest, the butterflies in his stomach fluttering wildly. You stopped in front of a dirt path surrounded by flower covered hedges like an arch into the forest.
"Stay right here, I gotta check something."
"O-Ok..."
"Ok ready?" You came out of the portal-esc entrance and covered his eyes
"Yes!" He exclaimed with excitement.
You lead him through the path avoiding branches, overgrown roots and vines. The sound of nature taking over your senses, as you neared your destination the warm sunlight covered you like a blanket.
"3,2...1!" You uncover his eyes revealing a beautiful butterfly garden, he was taken aback by the view, he looked around seeing different species of butterflies. Some were colorful, some were plain white and there were different types of plants all around. "You like it?... I was walking around in here, and I thought about how much we talk about this kind of stuff all the ti-" You look over at him and paused, he's soft smile, he held on to your every word. You could tell your face was turning red and looked down in embarrassment, "S-Sorry, I'm rambling."
"Hey no need to apologize, this is amazing!"
"This place is covered in secrets you know." He tilted his head in question, "Um, oh wait..." you stood up and walked over to a big oak tree and pulled one of the vines. This revealed more of the garden, with plenty of activities, there was even a treehouse hidden within that area.
"Holy... there's more?!" His eyes lit up with the reveal, "How'd you know about that?"
"I mean this isn't called '(Y/n)s' sanctuary' for nothin'." You pointed to the sign over the entrance, that read the same, "They have a week of firework shows to kick off the summer, it's a perfect spot to see them."
"Wait so you made this place?"
"No my uncle owns it, he made it on my fifth. We could camp out here if you want, he said he didn't mind."
"That would be amazing!"
"Great! We can stay in the tree house." You smiled and closed the curtain as you both walked through
You both sat on the picnic blanket you had set up, talking and laughing. You played some games and just admired the scenery.

"Do you have a favorite butterfly, flower or planet or star maybe?"
"I really like sunflowers, they're so vibrant and pretty, and remind me of you..." he muttered the last part so you couldn't catch what he said, you laid back and looked up at him with a soft smile.
"What was that?"
"U-Um, and I'm partial to Venus." His eyes sparkled at the mention of Venus, he blushed looking back into the telescope, "To be honest, there's no better place then under the stars. They're beautiful aren't they?" He looked to sky and sighed
"They are really... oh, hello there." You giggled softly at the monarch butterfly that had landed on your nose, you sat up and it flew onto your finger. Damien turned around and picked up his camera, the low lighting with the woodland background and fireflies surrounding you.
"Don't moves." You stayed staring at the butterfly with the cutest smile he'd ever seen, after taking the pictures he slowly lowered his camera. He looked at you with a soft smile, he heard your giggle and lightly laughed, "Gorgeous...", you paused and started blushing
"Monarchs are my favorite, I have a few drawings if you wanna see."
"Oh yes please." You pulled out a sketch book flipping through the pages of flowers and butterflies,"These are beautiful."
"They're not that good."
"Sweetheart, I can't draw that good to save my life." He joked, you laughed lightly, you flipped through a few more pages when the butterfly fluttered on to a page you were trying to hide.
'Crap...'
"Is that me?" He smiled at the drawing, you pasted him the book
"M-Maybe..." He stared at the drawing in awe, he wouldn't put the book down, "Can I have it back now?"
"No this...this is mine now." He got off the blanket and ran off with the book
"Hey!"
You chased after Damien with multiple failed attempts to grab the book from him, it was a couple of minutes back in forth, you were both laughing and having a good time. You got ahold of his hoodie and were going to grab the book but missed, this sent both of you falling to the ground. You were both laughing on the ground, he opened his eyes looking up at you, blushing like crazy. You registered what happened and jumped up, you fell back and kept apologizing. He laughed it off  and you snatched the book, a note card fell from the page with his drawing. He went to hand it to you when he say his name somewhere on the paper.
"Hey um, what's this?"
"Huh? Oh, that um..." You looked down nervously, "I meant to give that to you earlier, I kinda forgot."
"Well what does it say?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's in Spanish, I know I somewhat speak it but I'm completely blanking on this."
"Wait what?" You took the card from him and mentally face palmed, because of the time of day you had planned on giving it to him you'd accidentally wrote it in Spanish. It was supposed to confess for you but now you have to tell him yourself. "Well um, this is awkward."
"Well what does it say, come on with that expression now you have to tell me."
"Ok um, Damien, we've be friends for a long time now and I feel I should tell you how I feel. I've liked you for a really long time now and I wanted to know if you'd be my date to "prom" and maybe my boyfriend?" He stared at you blushing, a smile starting to appear on his face. You stood up and hid your face in your hoodie embarrassedly pacing back and forth trying to calm down when you heard soft laughter from Damien, "Why are you laughing?!"
"Cause it's a silly question."
"Huh?" He walked over to you and tilted your head up
"I would love to be your boyfriend, you're kind, caring, helpful, funny, and a bonus you're adorable. I love your smile, your laugh, your eyes, your hair, everything about you." You stood there shocked by what he just said, you felt your face getting warmer by the second, you put your hands up to hide the very obvious blush on your face when he pulled you close against him, "Eyes on me~" Even more shocked as he had never acted like this before, out of pure instinct you kissed him, he pulled you in even closer deepening the kiss. You wrapped your arms around his neck, you two kissed each other passionately, breaking the kiss after a while.
"I love you so much."
"I love you too."
