getting home from a date that ended way to soon, you lazily kick off your heels before sighing and sitting down the couch with a smile. matt stands hesitantly at the door, waiting for you to say goodnight.

you've been dating for a few months now, but you are yet to make things official. the feeling of love had been creeping up on you for a while now, but you're just incredibly terrified to actually voice your emotions to the boy. so you decided it was best to wait to see if matt would make the first move; little indications proving that you aren't alone in this brain-numbing headspace.

matt smiles, running his hand through his slightly wavy hair before stuffing his hands in the confined but fuzzy pockets of his winter jacket. "so, did you have fun?" he asks, rocking back and forth on his heels.

the small motion easily added to your uncontrollable feelings of love for him- even though it was an action that all stereotypical dads repeat on the sitcom side of midnight television. but you didn't really care, it was undeniably sweet. matt is the first person in your entire history of dating that genuinely cared for your input after a night out.

lightly biting on your lip to hide a stupid, growing grin, you laugh and nod your head. "i did, thank you, matt." and it was truthful, you had the most fun you've had in a while. it's not everyday you're asked to get all dressed up for an insanely expensive date, only to go play glow in the dark minigolf and play trashy 2000s music in a van that your grandma drives. eating messy street tacos as you desperately try to keep the delicacies inside the shell, and not all over your fancy clothes.

his face undeniably gets washed over with a rosy shade of pink, a delirious grin setting on his face as he plays with the collar of his dress shirt. "yeah?" he giggles. "well good, i'm glad you enjoyed it."

you stand up with a giggle, happy to see how flustered he still gets four months into the relationship.

walking over to the brunette, you gently cup his face in your hands, pulling him close for a quick kiss. "did you, have fun?" you smile, repeating his previously asked question.

"i did." he smiles, lightly nodding his head. he turns his face into your palm, gently pressing a sweet kiss to your hand.

you delicately trace your fingers over his star crossed skin. quickly and silently reminding yourself that one of these days you're ought to count each freckle that he so smoothly calls yours. just like he calls everything yours, his eyes? yours. his nose? yours. anything and everything belonged to you and him, and nobody else. which just so happens to make your feelings blossom.

matt closes his eyes, sighing into your palm as your thumb grazes comfortingly over the bridge of his nose.

"ich liebe dich." you mumble, you've said this simple translation many times before, but this time felt different from the way his breath quickened before he opened his eyes.

as he meets your eyes, you cant help but watch as the way his pupils quickly dilate and shrink back to the normal size. butterflies harshly swarm your stomach due to this action, even though he doesn't know it happened. causing a soft smile to swiftly perch your lips.

"ich liebe dich auch." he smiles, closing his eyes and leaning in. pressing his lips against yours.

pulling away, your eyes widen. finally processing the words that just left his mouth. you knew he was gonna pick up on some of the randomly mumbled sentences that you effortlessly put out in the air, but certainly not that. it never even crossed your mind that you said it enough for him to learn it.

finding the look of shock on your face, he giggles. "do you want me to say it in english, or do you got it?" he teasingly remarks, furrowing his brows with a contagious smile.

you playfully roll your eyes, "i got it." you smile, pulling him back in for another kiss.
