you were sitting on the couch, curled up in your favorite blanket, the tv remote in one hand and your phone in the other. billie was away for an interview, something you were used to by now, but it never got easier. you missed her when she was gone, even if it was just for a few hours.

the interview was being streamed live, and you decided to tune in. billie hadn't mentioned much about what she'd be talking about, but you knew her well enough to know she'd light up the screen, as she always did.

when the interview started, you couldn't help but smile at the sight of her. she looked stunning in her oversized shirt and chain necklace, her blonde hair falling perfectly around her face. her demeanor was casual yet confident, as she greeted the host and settled into her seat.

"so, billie," the host began after some introductory chatter, "your new album is incredible. fans are loving it. but you know what else they've been curious about lately?"

billie raised an eyebrow, smirking slightly. "what's that?"

"your love life," the host said with a teasing grin. "there's been so much speculation, and your fans are dying to know. you've been dropping little hints here and there, but never anything concrete. so, are you ready to spill the tea?"

you felt your cheeks heat up as you sat up straighter, suddenly very interested in where this was going. billie laughed softly, her cheeks tinged with pink.

"well," she started, leaning back in her chair, "there's not much tea to spill because i'm very happy and very in love."

the host's eyebrows shot up. "oh, really? that's amazing! tell us more about her."

"she's..." billie trailed off, a dreamy smile spreading across her face. "she's everything, honestly. she's kind, smart, funny, and so beautiful it's ridiculous. i don't know how i got so lucky."

your heart swelled, and you felt a lump forming in your throat. hearing her talk about you like that, especially so openly, was overwhelming in the best way.

the host leaned forward, clearly intrigued. "that's so sweet! how did you two meet?"

billie chuckled, glancing down for a moment as if replaying the memory in her head. "we met through mutual friends. she wasn't even supposed to be there that night, but she showed up, and the second i saw her, i knew i had to talk to her."

"and she felt the same way?" the host asked.

"not at first," billie admitted with a laugh. "she thought i was just being friendly. it took me a while to convince her i was flirting, but once i did... yeah, the rest is history."

the audience laughed, and you couldn't help but giggle along, remembering how clueless you'd been that night.

"what's the best thing about her?" the host asked.

billie's face softened, and her voice grew quieter, more serious. "the best thing? it's hard to pick just one. but if i had to, i'd say it's the way she makes me feel. she makes me feel safe and loved in a way i've never felt before. like, no matter what happens, as long as i have her, i'll be okay."

you felt tears prick at your eyes, your hand covering your mouth as you tried to hold back a sob. billie wasn't usually this open, even in private, so hearing her say these things on live tv was almost too much to handle.

"she sounds amazing," the host said, smiling warmly.

"she is," billie replied without hesitation. "she's my favorite person in the world."

when the interview ended, you sat there in stunned silence, your heart pounding in your chest. you replayed her words over and over in your head, feeling like you might float away from how loved she made you feel.

just as you were about to text her, your phone buzzed with an incoming call. it was billie.

"hey," she said as soon as you picked up. "did you watch?"

"of course, i did," you said, your voice thick with emotion. "billie... that was the sweetest thing anyone's ever said about me."

"i meant every word," she said softly. "you know that, right?"

"i do," you whispered, tears finally spilling over. "i love you so much."

"i love you more," she said. "i'm on my way home now. i'll be there soon, okay?"

"okay," you said, smiling through your tears.

when billie walked through the door an hour later, you practically tackled her with a hug, burying your face in her neck.

"thank you," you whispered.

"for what?" she asked, holding you tightly.

"for loving me the way you do," you said.

she pulled back just enough to look at you, her green eyes shining with affection. "you make it so easy."

and in that moment, you knew that no matter what, you'd always have each other.
