my favorite couple ❤️
you had just gotten back from the gym and you unlocked the door and walked into you and rhyne’s apartment. as you were setting your stuff down, you saw a huge bouquet of your favorite flowers. You’re confused, so you call rhyne’s name.
“rhy!” you shout.
“yes, baby?” she says softly as she walks into the kitchen.
“who are the flowers for?” you ask her.
“they’re for you.”
“for what, though?”
“just because i think you deserve flowers,” she says with that soft smile she always gives you.
“you’re so sweet, rhy” you say as you press a kiss to her cheek.
she just smiles.
rhyne has an off day today, and you’ve had a super rough week. rhyne decided to take today to cheer you up by taking you to dinner.
you’re lying in bed when rhyne comes in all dressed up and asks you to get ready. you ask her why, and she says, “just get ready. i have a surprise for you.”
you get up to go shower. after you’re out of the shower, you get dressed and start doing your hair and makeup. once you’re ready, you walk out the room and rhyne is sitting at the kitchen island and she looks up as you walk in.
“you look so pretty” she says.
“thank you rhyne”
“you ready to go?” she asks.
“yeah”
rhyne gets up and grabs your hand, and you both walk to the door and walk out. you guys get outside and walk to rhyne’s car, and she opens the passenger door for you. then she walks to the driver’s side and gets in.
you’re confused where you’re going because rhyne never told you, and she still won’t. you guys have been driving for at least twenty minutes, and you guys finally pulled up to this restaurant that you’ve been wanting to go to but never had time.
rhyne parks the car, and she gets out and walks over to the passenger side and opens your door. she grabs your hand, and you guys go in. It doesn’t take long for you guys to get seated.
you guys ordered your food, and as you’re waiting, you decide to try and figure out why rhyne brought you here.
“rhy, so why’d you randomly bring me out for dinner?” you ask.
“i noticed you’ve been having a stressful week, and i had an off day today, so i decided to take today to take you out to hopefully make your week a bit better,” she says.
you just stare at her for a second.
your heart immediately softens.
because that’s just who rhyne is.
she notices everything.
even the things you don’t say out loud.
you reach across the table and take her hand.
“you did all this because i’ve been stressed?”
rhyne shrugs like it’s no big deal.
“yeah.”
“rhyne.”
“what?”
you shake your head, smiling.
“you’re seriously the sweetest person i’ve ever met.”
that earns you a small grin.
“that’s debatable.”
“no, it’s not.”
she laughs quietly.
you squeeze her hand.
“thank you.”
“for what?”
“for noticing.”
her expression softens.
“baby, i always notice.”
and that’s the thing.
she does.
she notices when you’re tired.
when you’re overwhelmed.
when you’re sad.
when you’re pretending you’re fine.
she notices all of it.
the waitress comes by with your food, and the conversation shifts to lighter things. you spend the rest of dinner talking, laughing, and enjoying being together.
for the first time all week, you don’t feel stressed.
you don’t feel overwhelmed.
you just feel happy.
after dinner, rhyne is driving back to the apartment. the entire ride back, your hand stays in hers. when you finally get back to the apartment, you both head inside.
you kick your shoes off by the door and immediately turn toward her.
before she can even ask what’s wrong, you’re wrapping your arms around her.
rhyne laughs softly.
“what was that for?”
you look up at her.
“for cheering me up.”
her smile appears instantly.
that soft smile she only ever seems to give you.
“any time, baby.”
“you’re so sweet, rhy.”
you say it before pressing a kiss to her cheek.
she just smiles.
you wake up before rhyne.
which almost never happens.
the apartment is quiet, sunlight coming through the curtains. you decide to make breakfast.
nothing fancy.
just pancakes, fruit, and orange juice.
after a while, you hear slow footsteps.
you look up and see rhyne walking into the kitchen wearing one of her hoodies and sweatpants, still half asleep.
she immediately makes her way over to you.
arms wrapping around your waist.
face buried in your shoulder.
“good morning.”
you laugh.
“good morning.”
“why are you awake?”
“wanted to make breakfast.”
she hums.
still holding you.
still half asleep.
you finish making breakfast while she refuses to let go. eventually, you both sit down to eat.
the morning is quiet.
when breakfast is over, you start cleaning up.
rhyne watches you for a second.
then gets up and walks over.
“what?”
she just shakes her head.
“nothing.”
“rhyne.”
“what?”
“why are you looking at me like that?”
a smile pulls at her lips.
the soft one.
your favorite one.
“just thinking.”
“about?”
she shrugs.
“how lucky i got.”
your face immediately warms.
“you’re cheesy.”
“maybe.”
you roll your eyes.
but you’re smiling.
rhyne steps closer.
presses a kiss to your forehead.
then another to your cheek.
you laugh.
“okay.”
“what?”
“you’re being extra affectionate today.”
“am i?”
“yes.”
she smiles.
then reaches for your hand.
bringing it to her lips.
kissing your knuckles.
“can’t help it.”
you shake your head.
“you’re ridiculous.”
“probably.”
a beat passes.
then rhyne squeezes your hand.
looks at you.
and says it so casually you’d almost miss it.
like it’s the easiest thing in the world.
because to her, it is.
“i love you.”
your smile instantly softens.
“i love you too.”
rhyne leans down and kisses your forehead one more time.
that same soft smile appearing again.
