Chris:
It was Chris's birthday and you were having a small party at your house. You knew his parents weren't going to do anything for his birthday, so you had decided to make to celebrate at your house. You wanted to make sure that Chris's birthday was special. You had baked him a cake; invited the guys over; and even made him a special present.

Chris was surprised to say the least. He had told you before that he had never really had a birthday party, so he certainly wasn't expecting one this year. You spent the day playing board games and cards inside. It was low key, but really fun. After a while, you guys had decided to have cake. Chris didn't want you guys to sing happy birthday, but you insisted. The guys made a joke out of it, which made Chris laugh.

Once you guys were eating, Chris whispered to you, "Thanks so much for today, y/n. It's been really nice."

"You're welcome, Chris," you whispered back, "After cake, meet me out on the porch. I want to give you your birthday present."

Chris smiled and you and nodded. After all of you were finished eating, you ran up to your room to grab Chris's present. You smiled down at the canvas before running back downstairs. You looked through the window and saw Chris sitting out on the porch. Teddy, Vern, and Gordie were busy playing an intense game of Monopoly, so it was the perfect time to give Chris is present. You went out to the porch and sat down next to Chris, his present hidden behind your back.

"You ready for your present?" You asked him.

Chris responded by saying, "You know, you really didn't have to get me anything."

"Don't be silly. You're my boyfriend, of course I was going to get you something," you told him.

You pulled the present out from behind your back and gave it to Chris. Chris smiled in surprise. You had painted him a picture of a sunset over a cliff. It was the same sunset you guys saw on your first date. You could tell from the look on Chris's face that he recognized it.

"You made this?" Chris asked you.

You nodded and told him, "I hope you like it."

"I love it, it's beautiful," Chris said fondly, "Thank you, angel."

He leaned in and kissed you sweetly. You gladly reciprocated. When you pulled away, Chris smiled and said, "I love you, y/n."

You froze in surprise. You and Chris had been together for six months, but had never said I love you. You knew you were in love with him though, you were just waiting for the right time to say it. You didn't have to worry about that anymore; Chris had told you he loved you.

You moved your hands to cup Chris's face before saying, "I love you too, Chris."

Chris smiled even wider and pulled you back into another kiss.

Gordie:
You and Gordie were in his room and Gordie was reading over a short story you had written. You were smiling fondly at your boyfriend, slightly lost in your thoughts. You'd known you've been in love with Gordie for a while, but you were trying to figure out the right way to tell him.

Gordie rolled closer to where you were sitting and kissed you on the cheek, "y/n, that story was amazing."

You looked over at Gordie and he had tears in his eyes.

"Gordie, are you crying?" You asked him.

You wouldn't blame Gordie if he was. The story you had given him to read was pretty emotional. It was about a boy who had passed away and his friends grieving his loss.

"Maybe," Gordie responded.

You gave him a kiss before wrapping your arms around him and cuddling into his chest.

Gordie kissed you on top of the head, "I almost forgot, I have a poem I wanted to read to you."
