"What's gonna make you fall in love?
I know you got your wall wrapped all the way around your heart
Don't have to be scared at all, oh, my love
But you can't fly unless you let ya,
You can't fly unless you let yourself fall." I sang as I played the guitar, letting the chords ring once more before putting it down.

Shawn stared clapping as soon as I finished singing the chorus which of course made heat spread through my cheeks and ears. I have never sang in front of anyone before. I would usually do it when it's just me, when no one's there to judge when I sing the wrong note or if I'm tone deaf. Most of the time, I just play the guitar but he insisted I sing when I was tuning the instrument earlier.

"You're so good. I love it when you sing." He said, smiling sweetly at me.

He reached his hand over and tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear which made me instinctively look away. I turned my head to the other side and let my hair fall to cover the rest of my face. Shawn and I have been dating for maybe a couple months or so yet I still feel like I'm not good enough for him so when he compliments me, I always react the same way. I try to hide.

"Thanks." I muttered.

He sighed and took my guitar off of my lap. He pulled me into his arms, making me sit across his lap and rested his head on my shoulders. His fingers found their way to my hair and let it twirl around his hand.

"Why do you always do that?" He whispered into my ear.

"Do what?" I asked, still not looking at him.

He gently put his hand under my chin and slowly made me look at him. 

"Look away. You always look away when I compliment you. You hide every time someone says something positive about you." He said cupping my cheek in his hand. "Why can't you just  accept it when people appreciate the good things about you? Do you really hate yourself that much that you want others to see the negative side of you? To the point that you refuse to believe that you're worth more than you think?"

I was about to look down but he kissed me right away. I kissed him back and wrapped my arms around his neck. He pulled me closer to him and deepened the kiss. I pulled away and placed my forehead against his.

"I... I guess I'm just insecure." I stuttered. "I'm still not used to having someone be here for me and complement me. You know my past, Shawn. You know that no one has ever said those things to me and made me feel like I am actually worth something until... until you came along."

He smiled and kissed the tip of my nose. I closed my eyes and let the butterflies in my stomach go wild at the feeling of his lips on my skin.

"Don't be insecure around me. You know that I'll always be by your side and remind you of how beautiful and incredible you are. I'm glad that I was able to make you feel worth it because you mean so much to me. I know that we haven't been together as long as someone would want but I already know that I am completely in love with you. You're amazing just the way you are." He said brushing his lips against mine.

I crashed my lips onto his once again. He responded in an instant and held me closer to him— as if that's even possible.

"I love you so much, Shawn." I whispered.

"I love you too, Y/N."
