Chris eyes go wide and a smile takes over his face.
"What?" He asks.
"I- I love you." You say again.
"Really?" He leans in.
"Really really." You giggle.
He leans in the rest of the way and falls onto you pushing you flat to the bed. He places gentle kisses on your lips as you giggle between each one. He lifts some of his weight off you and looks down. His necklace dangling above your face.
"One more time." He says laughing.
"I. Love. You. Chris." You say pausing between each word.
He leans down and kisses you one more time.
"I love you (your name)." He smiles.
"Wait, really?" You gasp.
"Yes. I do. This weekend while you've been here I can feel it. I'm drawn to you. We click. You get it, my lives and social media stuff. You're not about it, I understand, but you don't throw a fit about it either. You're cool when I have to do stuff and can do your own thing. But when I'm with you, you focus on being in the moment with me. You're very go with the flow. I like it."
"AND, ya know, you like to cuddle, especially in the mornings, and be affectionate, and I love that shit." He laughs.
He rolls over so he's laying on the bed and you lay on him.
"See what I mean!" He says laughing again.
"Oh shush." You say looking up at him and giving him a kiss.

You guys lay with each other for a while and you play with his hand and fingers with yours.
"So I guess the big question is, where do we go from here? What are we doing?" You ask still playing with his hand.
"Mm, good question." He says.
"I'm serious." You laugh.
"So am I!" He defends playfully.
"Chris." You look up at him.
"Okay, okay." He says laughing.
You wait for him to say something.
"I mean, we don't have to put a label if you-"
He quickly interrupts you.
"No, I do, I just don't want it to be in a stupid way." He says.
"I'm not fancy. Please don't go all out." You plead.
"Fine. I won't." He rolls his eyes.
There's a pause in conversation again.
"Want to watch a movie?" He asks.
"Sure?" You laugh.
"Okay I'll go get some snacks. You pick something." He says jumping out of bed and running out of the room.
You sit there in awe before scrolling Netflix.

You decided on "The Kissing Booth" and wait for Chris to return.
When he comes in he has gold fish, some fruit, and of course, candy and popcorn. With a few cans of soda.
He plops down on the bed and there's a note in his hand.

You said not to go all out so this is all I
could come up with.
Will you be my girlfriend?
Please grab anything but the sour patch kids
for yes, and if you grab the sour patch kids I
might have to make you sleep on the couch.
Those are mine ;)
- Chris

You laugh when you read the note and jokingly reach for the sour patch kids. His jaw drops and he stares at you.

"I'm kidding!" You say grabbing the bowl of popcorn.
"So, yes?" He asks grinning.
"Yes." You say rolling your eyes and leaning into him.

You cuddle up and start the movie, the last part you remember is the detention scene.
