Your POV

Finnian and I have been together since high school. Crazy, right?

Who says high school sweethearts can't last? Nobody, that's who.

I can still remember to this day when I met him and some of my favorite memories I have with him..

••••

I walk in the school, feeling confident yet nervous. I'm mainly quiet when around strangers or just people I don't know well in general, but with close friends I can go on and on about something.

I'm a freshman in high school now, so I'm pretty excited about that.

Not so much though for a lot more homework and tests.

I weave my way through the halls when a teenage boy around my age talking with another student. He's actually really cute.

He has shaggy strawberry-blonde hair, wide turquoise eyes, and has clothing that reminds me of a farmer. An adorable one, at that.

I looked away and continued walking towards my locker, face heating up lightly. I can feel someone staring at me, which is unusual because I've never really felt that before.

I look back behind me with my head an pivot slightly to get a better view. I lock eyes with that attractive boy, who gives me a shy smile and waves slightly.

I just give a small smile and nod his way, then scurry off to my locker.

Little did I know that I would end up falling deeply in love with this boy who I will soon find out to be Finnian.

••

It's a few days later and I've been wondering if I should go up and talk with that boy I saw on my first day here, going back and forth with my mind. I consulted my friends to get their opinions, and they always tell me to just go for it.

It's just so hard though! I can't bring myself to just be like 'yolo!' and just trot on up to him with such confidence and boldness. That's not exactly who I am...at least not all of the time.

I can never seem to hype myself up enough to just get it over with.

Luckily, I don't have to.

I'm just strolling down the hallways with my items, heading to my locker when I hear a male voice usher from somewhere behind me, "Go! Just do it! She's right there!"

Then there was some stumbling and another voice, which sounded rather soothing and cute, proclaims in a flustered and hushed tone, "Okay! Okay! I will!"

I'm definitely curious, but he couldn't have been talking about me..right?

Seconds later I feel a tap on my shoulder.

I stop in my tracks and spin around, facing that adorable boy I was talking about earlier.

"Hey! I'm Finnian, what's your name?"

"I'm YN LN."

••

At this point, it's our second year of high school. Sophomore year.

I've been friends with Finnian for one year.

And yes, he was a freshman when I was last year.

Finny had asked me to meet him in the park by a cherry blossom tree, which I didn't know grew around this area.

So now I'm just waiting here, staring at the beautiful leaves flowing down towards the ground with a soft smile.

I hear footsteps coming my way so I turn to look at them, and see just who I expected to see. My best friend and crush, Finnian.

He smiles at me with nervousness I've never seen on him before, which then results in me becoming anxious as well. I give a smile back as he reaches me.

"Hey," he greets calmly and a bit bravely, contradicting his happy-go-lucky and shy personality.

"Hey," I repeat back. "So, what did you want to meet me for?"

He takes another step forward so that we're close, then grabs my hands in his. We're so close that our bodies are nearly touching.

I can feel my face burn, and see that his face is really red.

What's going on?

"YN, it's okay if you don't feel the same about me, but I just need to get this off of my chest before it's too late. I love you. I only realized last year when we first met that I had a crush on you, but as time went on, I found out that it was so much more than that. I'm deeply in love with you, YN, and I want to be something more than friends. So, what do you say? Will you be my girlfriend?"

My eyes widen and my smile grows at hearing his words. So that's why he was so nervous!

Seeing me smile seems to relieve Finny a bit, but he's still tense.

"YES!" I shout, slipping my hands from his to wrap them around his neck joyously. His arms fall into place at my waist as he spins me around ecstatically. "I love you too!"

••

Finny and I are on a date and I've had such an amazing time so far! We've been dating for a few weeks now, and still haven't kissed one another on the lips. We're just waiting for the right moment, you could say.

Right now we're just sitting side by side at the lake, where previously we were splashing each other and having a miniature water fight together. As we fight to catch our breaths, I stare out at the lake's beautiful waters as the sun sets.

"It's beautiful," I mutter in awe.

"Yeah," Finny replies, distracted.

I look over at him, only to see that he's staring at me with a smile. I smile back as my face burns brighter.

"What?" I ask sheepishly. "Do I have something on my face?"

"No, cutie pie," he shakes his head, his gaze never leaving mine. "You're just so beautiful. Everything about you."

Flustered, I look away but smile wider at his compliment. He continues to stare and adds, "I just can't believe my luck. How did I ever get somebody as perfect as you?"

Finny reaches his hand up and turns my face so I can look him in the eye, and then he strokes my cheek with his thumb.

I'm sure he can feel the heat in my cheek.

"I'm not perfect," I protest in a playful yet unbelieving way. "Nobody is."

"Nobody but you," he replies, leaning in and connecting his lips with mine.

My eyes flutter shut as I instinctively kiss him back, despite this being our first time. Our first kiss.

"I love you, YN."

"I love you too, Finny."

••••

And now here I stand, waiting behind the closed doors to meet with my future husband at the altar.

I couldn't be happier to spend the rest of my life with Finny, and I couldn't love him any more than I already do.
