A/N: So here it is! My first ever posted Shawn Mendes imagine. I hope you enjoy!
In our entire relationship, we spent more time apart than we did together.
We've been together for almost two years, and when one of you is a celebrity that has tours, interviews and award shows all over the world, you don't really see each other a lot.
We first met a couple of years ago, when he was on tour and performed in my city. I went to the meet&greet, and by some miracle I ran into him later that evening.
I wasn't looking where I was going, and bumped into his chest and he spilled his Starbucks drink all over me.
We hung out the rest of the night.
As we parted ways a couple of hours later, he asked my number.
A month later, he asked me out.
We've been together for two years now, and though it's been great, I can't pretend it doesn't get incredibly hard.
When you're in a long-distance relationship, and one of you travels a lot, of course you're bound to miss some important days together.
While Shawn is traveling a lot, it's not like I am very busy. In fact, I have enough time to visit him wherever he is. The issue there, is that I'm afraid of flying.
Cars I am okay with, and boats and trains are no big deal. But planes are. Because when I was almost ten, my dad was in a plane that crashed. No survivors.
Since then, I've had something against airplanes.
I myself have never again been on one again, but Shawn obviously has. Whenever he has to fly somewhere, I get stressed and the days leading up to the flight usually consist of nightmares of losing him.
So far, I am just glad nothing happened yet. And I continue hoping nothing will ever happen to him.
Right now, it has been seven months since I hugged my boyfriend. Obviously we've FaceTimed, and we text everyday.
But tomorrow is our second anniversary, and we're about to spend it apart. Because I had to work until this morning, and it would take hours for me to drive there, there is no possible way of us seeing each other in real life today.
He has a show in Paris, the city of love. How iconic.
Over the past years with him traveling so much, my fear of planes has gotten worse and worse.
Which is why you might find it a little odd that right now I'm standing at the airport, waiting for the plane to France to be called.
The plane ride was terrible. I was on my own, no one I knew could go with me.
Getting on the plane wasn't a big deal. I focused on other things like the clothes I would wear later or how I would surprise him at his show.
Or after he got off stage?
Anyways, I was fine, until the plane started taking off. The speed it went with was terrifying and I had trouble breathing. Once the plane started going up however and we could see the buildings on the ground shrinking, was when I lost it.
I had been so lucky there was a psychiatrist on board that knew what to do and managed to calm me down. I was so happy when the plane finally landed and I could get off.
At the airport, I was greeted by Andrew. He knew how afraid I was of planes, and knew that I'd be more comfortable driving with him than a chauffeur.
"Are you okay?" He asked as soon as he saw me, walking up to me and embracing me in a hug.
"Yeah, I am now. Thank you." I nod, as we walk to get my suitcase.
We arrived at Shawn's show an hour before he had to go up stage, so I hid in the tour bus. After a full hour of keeping myself entertained on my phone, Andrew finally came to get me, telling me it was safe to go backstage now.
As I stood there, I admired the man I was so lucky to call mine. I saw all the passion and work he threw into every performance.
He'd gone live on Instagram, positioning his phone backstage, so everyone could follow it. I had it opened too, but I was obviously more focused on the real thing right in front of me.
When Shawn had sung his last song for the night, There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back, he surprised both his fans and me when he stayed on stage and started a speech.
"Even though she can't be here tonight, I want to say this to her.
"Y/n, baby, I love you. I still remember that night a little over two years ago, when I first met you. My first thought when you walked into that meet and greet was how insanely adorable you were. You wore that light pink shirt you loved so much, and your hair was in a beautiful side braid. You smiled so wide.
"But the first thing I noticed about you, were your eyes. That beautiful deep shade I got lost in.
"To this day, I still love your eyes a lot.
"But the best thing about you must be your personality.
"Not only your happiness and sarcasm, but also how supportive you are. Without you, I would not be standing here today.
"I also love how clingy you can sometimes be.
"How you hold on to me for hours and won't let go, how you steal all my hoodies and sweatpants, and can cuddle with me for hours.
"I love you, baby. Happy anniversary."
By the end of his speech, I was swooning. Most girls in the audience were too.
Suddenly I get an idea, and before Shawn leaves the stage, I call his phone from mine. Andrew sees what I'm doing, and runs up the stage, phone in hand.
He immediately answers, mouth still close to the mic.
"Hey" I giggle back softly, covering the underside of my phone, hoping he can't hear the screaming fans through it.
"Are you watching right now?"
"No, I'm not." I know he knows I'm rolling my eyes. "Of course I am, you dweeb. I love you."
"I love you too, babe. And I miss you. So much."
"I missed you too." I respond, grinning as I hang up the phone.
"MissED? What do you mean? Y/n -" He gets shut up by the screaming fans as I walk on stage.
He looks around him confused, and as he finally spots me, I see that smile.
That smile he only gives me.
As I am finally in his arms again and can breathe in his scent, I'm not finally with my boyfriend again.
"How did you even get here? You had work yesterday and it takes hours to drive here."
I blush confidently. "I flew."
He spins around, dropping his phone to the floor. "You what?"
His mouth gaped open, wide eyes staring at me.
"Afraid of planes. Yeah."
He turned around more, laying one hand on my right shoulder and the other tilting up my chin, staring into my eyes.
"You got on a plane. For me."
I smiled at him. "No, I came here so I can finally fuck Connor again."
He groaned, already done with my sarcasm after fifteen minutes of being reunited.
He leaned his head on my shoulder, hands around my waist as he pulled me backwards on the bed.
"So much." I replied, cuddling further into his side.
"I can't believe you actually got on a plane and I wasn't there."
"I was fine. It was scary at first, but I became kind of used to it and Andrew came to pick me up. I think I'll visit you more often while you're touring from now on."
"Really?" He asked, perking up a little.
"I love you." He mumbled against the skin of my neck, his lips kissing me every few seconds.
"So much." I replied, running my hand through his curls, massaging his scalp.
After two minutes, I called his name. "Shawn?"
When he didn't reply, I realized he'd fallen asleep, and with that, I closed my eyes too.
