Shawn Mendes Imagines

70: Normal

Shawn's POV:

"Hey, can you go and grab a package of carrots? I'll be over by the peppers." She asks. I nod and make my way over to the carrot bins, picking up the package with the healthiest looking carrots in it. I quickly walk back to Y/N, watching her as she places a couple of green bell peppers in the cart.

"Alright, next is meat." I smirk, raising my eyebrows at her. She giggles and stands up on her tippy-toes to place a quick kiss on my cheek.

"Look at how normal of us. Grocery shopping." She laughs. I gently rub the small of her back and kiss the top of her head as we walk to the meat aisle.

Two hours later

"This is so normal!" Y/N exclaims as she sets the milk in the fridge.

"Y/N, love, that's the second time you've said that today. What do you mean by that?" I ask, pouring dish soap into the skillet in the sink. I'm met with silence filled only by the sounds of the water running in the sink and the rustling of the grocery bags. "Y/N?"

"What?" She replies, her voice quiet.

"Why do you keep saying stuff about being normal?"

"I don't know."

"Well, you have to have a reason if you've said it twice." I say gently, turning the water off. Again, silence. I turn around, resting my back against the sink. Tears are brimming in her eyes. "Honey-"

"Shawn, our life isn't normal." She chokes out, cutting me off.

"I know, sweetheart." I close the gap between us quickly and pull her into my arms.

"Maybe I just want everything to be normal for once." She begins to cry into my chest, holding me tightly. I remain silent until I can think of something to say.

"Like how?" I ask, gently rocking from foot to foot. She sways with me.

"I don't know, Shawn. I just think living in a tour bus and hotels for months at a time is not something most couples do. They settle down at home and maybe even have kids." She says.

"I know, princess. But I think the way we live makes our relationship amazing and special! I know it sucks. I get home sick too, but I love it because you're there with me."

"That's basically the only thing that keeps me going during those times."

"Why don't we spend our time off tour like normal couples?" I suggest. She laughs a little.

"Okay. I'll take it." She sighs, backing up. I wipe under her eyes with my thumbs, trying to wipe away every tear.

"I love you, Y/N."

"I love you too, Shawn. I can't wait for our normal time."
