couple thing

~

do you know this feeling when your stomach hurts from laughing? when you have so much fun, feel so happy and genuinely full of love? it feels like it's to much happiness that's wandering through your veins that your body can't take it.

that's how you felt right now. sitting at the table with your best friends, laughing, drinking and talking. you felt amazingly good.
college had been rough on you the last months. you worked hard, studied whenever you could but didn't forget about your mental health. although your grades were good and there wasn't much to worry about, it always seemed so hard to satisfy yourself. you knew it could be going better and you weren't a person who wouldn't fight for the best version of yourself.

however, the tough exam period was over and tonight, you and your friends celebrated.
oh, and don't forget your fabulous boyfriend who was god knows where. you giggled at the thought of him dancing in his drunk state or trying to get the barkeepers attention. you were a bit tipsy yourself but could still think clear. you weren't much of a drinker. alcohol either didn't taste good or not so good like the perfect non-alcoholic cocktail. why should you drink something that tasted worse than your favorite drink? you could have much fun without it.

"y/n, where's shawn?" asked theo from the other side of the table, his arm slung around his girlfriend's shoulders.

"uh-" you looked around the club, trying to find the handsome canadian. "i don't know to be honest." you snorted a laugh and shrugged.

"that boy," theo sighed before he released his girlfriend and stood up, wandering off to look for shawn. you laughed to yourself before you felt in a conversation with chris, another friend of yours.

"what i mean is," chris tried to explain in his drunk state, "if the whole thing with soulmates is true... it's way too hard to find them. like, how the fuck am i supposed to find a soul that fits to mine out of seven billion people? i can't even find the nearest tim horton's!"

you laughed, clutching onto his shoulder while you bursted out laughters. your drink in your other hand.

"you'll find them when the time is right. you'll get to them and they'll come to you. if your paths cross, you'll know."

"did you find yours, yet?" he slurred.

"mhh," you smiled, "and i think i'm seeing him back there."

you noticed theo and shawn walking towards your table, laughing and taking sips from their drinks.

"had a good time, baby?" you asked when shawn approached the table. he reached down to peck your lips but missed and kissed your nose instead.

"i take that as a yes," you chuckled. "c'mere big boy." you patted the seat besides you. shawn flopped down and slung his arm around your waist, cuddling into your side.

"hmm, you're so cozy." he mumbled.

"oh yeah?" you turned to him, cupping his face in your free hand. he hummed, hiding his face in your side again.

" 'm wanna go home with you." he cheekily said, nibbling on your earlobe.

"not yet, hun" you shook your head, all your attention on him.

"i love you," he admitted. and maybe it was the alcohol but when he looked up at you, cheeks pink and eyes big, he looked at you as if you were the first women he ever laid eyes on. as if you were the definition of love for him. he reached to your face, tracing your jaw with his thumb before he captured your lips in a sweet kiss. "love you, love you, love you"

"i love you too," you bumped his nose against his, smiling like crazy to the love of your life.

he huffed, " 'too'? you don't love me more?"

"what?" you snorted a laugh. you now knew, that was the alcohol talking. he sat up, facing you.

"it's a couple thing! i say that i love you and then you say that you love me more, and then," he pauses to hicup. "and then i say 'no i love you more' and then you say 'noo, i love you more' and then i-"

"okay, shawn, baby," you chuckled. "i got it."

"then why didn't you say it?" he pouted. you smiled, whenever he pouted he looked exactly like when he was four years old. when you once visited his family, karen showed you baby photos and one of them captured the exact same face expression shawn had right now. it was hilarious and absolutely adorable.

"baby, you hate it when we do that. you always say 'it's too cheesy and annoying'."

"that's not true!" he resisted, shaking his head.

"yea it is, hun."

"nope. you know what? nevermind, i'm calling my girlfriend." he reached for his phone in his pocket. "you know, she's so beautiful. i'm so in love with her."

you chuckled, how much did he drink? "oh really? she must be amazing!"

"oh she is, but she snores." he pulled a face.

you gasped, smacking his arm. "shawn mendes, i do not do that!"

he laughed, grabbing your face and pulling you in for a kiss.
"you do, sometimes." he smiled. "but i love you."

"i love you more."
