Day 20: Pet Names

Luke's POV

"To be honest J... I'm a little disappointed in us." I admit because I'm tired of this.

"Why? What's wrong, have I done something!?" He sounds very concerned, maybe I shouldn't have been so harsh with my statement. Time to fix this.

"Well, all couples seem to have really sweet pet names for each other, and then there's us. The closest we get to cute is calling each other L and J. I feel like this isn't good enough and as we've known each other for so long, it's time to take our relationship that one step further, or I feel that this might be the end of us," I let all my feelings out in such a way I feel I have rendered him speechless. But it's true, no?

"Ok."

"Ok? Is that all you have to say for such a terrible matter?" I exclaim because I know I was slightly dramatic but I didn't think it warranted such an anticlimax.

"No no, I mean, you've really put so much thought into this that is actually making you afraid we will break up?" He looks genuinely curious towards my state, and yeah it has made me slightly nervous.

"I mean, it might seem a bit irrational and like I've really overthought this but lots of people have this as a gateway into their relationship, and us? It's been months and we can't muster up something more meaningful than our initials."

"Ok, I'm on board with this. What did you have in mind?"

Oh good, this might not be the crisis I originally thought.

"I always call you darling so really I feel that that should stick you know? It's become a characteristic," I tell him, it's important to remain true to the foundations of our couplehood.

"That makes sense I guess. And for you?"

"I hadn't thought of anything, the choice is up to you darling."

"How about... Stabs McGee!"

"........ It's perfect!"

"I love you Stabs."

"Love you too Darling."
