warnings: mentions of cancer

It was only a smile but my heart it went wild

To everyone else, the way you and Tom met wasn't special. You were looking at the ice cream flavors in the grocery store, eyes concentrated on the containers of the delicious frozen treat as your brain tried to think through which one to buy. Tom saw you when he got to the ice cream aisle and was immediately captivated by your beauty.

"What's your favorite?" He asked, before he could think of what he was doing.

You looked at him, your eyes meeting his soft brown eyes as you smiled softly. "My favorite's strawberry cheesecake. But they don't have that so I'm looking for another flavor I like. Problem is I like all of them." You chuckled, smiling at him again. Tom felt his heart flutter in his chest at the simple gesture.

"I like mint chocolate chip moose tracks. Can't go wrong with that one." He replied.

"Well then," You giggled. "Mint chocolate chip moose tracks it is."

Just a delicate kiss, anyone could've missed

Tom first kissed you after your first date. He took you to dinner and a movie and while you tried to pay for the movie, Tom wasn't having it. He insisted it was his treat. Even after dinner Tom knew he loved you. It wasn't something he could explain- he just knew it. He couldn't help but steal glances of you while he drove you home after the movie. The moonlight outlined your face just right and Tom could've sworn you were an angel. Pulling up to your apartment building, Tom parked the car before opening the car door for you and walking you up to your apartment like a true gentleman.

"Well, uh, this is me." You said softly, rocking gently on your feet. "I had a really nice time tonight."

Tom nodded and smiled. "Me too."

Neither of you said anything, but moved towards each other slowly until Tom finally broke the silence when you were chest to chest. "Can I kiss you?" He asked, nearly whispering. You simply nodded in response as his hand came up and cupped your cheek and pressed his lips to yours.

It was a soft, delicate kiss. His lips were soft against yours and you could both feel the sparks that ignited from it. When you pulled away, Tom's forehead rested on yours as he laughed breathlessly and mumbled "that was nice."

You couldn't help but smile and nod in agreement.

Did I misread the sign?

Your hand slipped into mine

For your third date with Tom, he took you to the zoo. You mentioned you liked animals and your favorite to see are penguins so Tom bought tickets to the zoo, eager to see your eyes light up when you saw the penguins. Prior to the date, you had told Tom about your battle with thyroid cancer when you were nineteen and explained that it could come back at any time, afraid you'd scare him away. Tom listened to your every word and when you finished, he couldn't stop telling you how strong you were and how he'd be with you through it all, no matter what. And that's when you knew you loved Tom. When you arrived at the zoo, you couldn't stop smiling at all the animals, while Tom couldn't help smiling at you. He was completely enthralled by your smile and the way a small sparkle appeared in your eyes. When you finally reached the penguins, you instinctively grabbed Tom's hand, lacing your fingers together.

"Look at them, Tom!" You said excitedly, turning to him, your hand still laced with his. "Aren't they the cutest things you've ever seen?" You cooed while watching them waddle around.
