196. He Finds Out You're An Artist

A/n: Okay so let's pretend that it's the summer, and then December, of 2020. Anyways, I hope that you guys enjoy this imagine! Okay, without further ado, let's begin!

It's August of 2020, and a few weeks ago, Shawn Mendes and I celebrated one year since we met. On December 22 of this year, it will mark one year since he asked me to be his girlfriend. I'm going to be flying up to Toronto so we can celebrate it together and then spend the holidays with him.

"I'm already trying to figure out what I want to get Shawn for our one year anniversary." I said to my friend Chloe. Well, she's more of an acquaintance. I don't really know her that well but I met her at the college that we go to and she seems really nice. We were hanging out at a park near my house.

"Well when is your anniversary?" She asked.

"December twenty second." I said. She frowned.

"Do you really think that you guys will be together by then?" She asked. What?

"Of course. We've already talked about our future together." I said.

"What so are you guys going to get married or something?" She asked.

"Well we don't want to get married right now, but someday." I said. She nodded.

"I feel like you're not right for him." She said.

"What? Why?" I asked. She shrugged.

"I don't know. You're just not." Chloe said.

"Okay, well if you're going to be like that and not support me, then we can't be friends." I said, feeling hurt.

"Wait, Y/n, you're overreacting." She said.

"No, I'm not, because someone that I thought was my friend is now questioning mine and my boyfriend's relationship. Bye Chloe." I said. I live within walking distance of the park. As I walked home, I pulled out my phone and called Shawn.

"Hi darling. How are you?" He asked.

"Not good." I said. I sat down on the curb.

"What's wrong baby?" He asked. I told him.

"I thought that she was my friend but I guess not." I said.

"I'm sorry that you had to go through that honey. She obviously isn't a good friend if she doesn't support you." He said.

"Right. I'm just going to go home now. I love you." I said.

"I love you too baby." He said, and we hung up. That night, my best friend Grace came over. She was pissed when I told her about Chloe.

"You know what you should do for Shawn for your one year anniversary?" She asked.

"What?" I asked.

"Does he know that you draw and paint?" She asked. I shook my head.

"No. I don't know why, but I've just never told him about it or shown him some of my sketches." I said. She nodded.

"You should draw or paint something for him." She said. I smiled and nodded.

"Okay. But what would I paint? A picture of him and I?" I asked. Grace shrugged.

"Whatever you want it to be." She said and I nodded. The next day, I went to the crafts store and got a canvas. I decided to draw what I wanted to do on a piece of paper first and then I would put it on the canvas. I was in my basement one day, drawing what I wanted onto the canvas in pencil before I painted it in when I heard someone walking down the stairs. I looked and saw that it was Shawn.

"No! No, no, no, you can't come down here!" I said as I went up the stairs to block him from coming down. He gave me a confused look.

"Why not?" He asked.

"I'm working on something and I don't want you to see it. I didn't even know that you were coming to town." I said.

"Yeah I wanted to surprise you. Are you upset that I'm here?" Shawn asked. I shook my head.

"No! No, of course not. I'm just working on something for you and it's supposed to be a surprise so I don't want you to see it." I said. He nodded.

"Okay. Do you want to cuddle on the couch?" He asked and I nodded. December came around, and I called him. "Hey darling."

"Hey, so I'm going to ship something to your place, but you are NOT allowed to open it, okay? It's your present and I want to see your reaction, so please don't open it." I asked and said.

"Okay darling." He said. Soon, it was time for him to pick me up from the airport. It was the day of our anniversary and I jumped into his arms.

"Hi baby boy. Happy anniversary." I said.

"Hi baby girl. Happy anniversary to you too. Come on, let's get your luggage and then go back to my place." Shawn said as he set me down.

"Wait, I need a kiss from my man." I said. Shawn smiled and put his lips on mine. I felt my heart race as if I had just run a marathon, I felt butterflies erupt and fly around in my tummy, and I felt sparks shoot through my body. Shawn and I pulled away and held hands. His touch electrified me, yet I felt safe and warm at the same time. We went to grab my luggage.

"My family is really excited to have you with us for the holidays." Shawn said and I smiled.

"Well I'm really excited to be with you guys. So does this mean that you get to be my New Years kiss?" I asked. Shawn pulled me closer to him as he carried some of my luggage and I also carried some of my luggage.

"Of course baby." He said.

"Did that package from me arrive at your place?" I asked.

"Yup." He said.

"Did you open it?" I asked.

"Nope." He said. I smiled. We then went back to his place and put my luggage in his room before going into his living room, where the package was on his white couch.

"Are you ready for your present babe?" I asked. He nodded.

"Yes, but can I please give you your present first? I want to see your reaction and I really hope that you like it." He asked and said.

"Of course honey. Whatever it is, I'm going to love it." I said. He smiled and handed me a box.

"Here you go." He said. I opened up the box and inside of it was a jar. Inside the jaw were small pieces of paper in different colors. I read what the jar said and I smiled. It was a 365 Note Jar, and inside of it, the notes had either quotes or lyrics, reasons why Shawn loves me (there seemed to be a lot of those), things he wanted to do, and memories. I smiled at him.

"I love it. Thank you so much honey. I'll make sure to look at one every morning." I said and Shawn smiled.

"You're welcome babe. I'm glad that you love it. Should I open my present now?" Shawn asked. I nodded.

"Yes!" I said. Shawn laughed at my enthusiasm and opened up the package. When he saw my artwork, his eyes widened. I had drawn a picture of him and I, and he was kissing my cheek as we held each other. He looked at me with wide eyes.

"Did you, did you make this?" He asked. I nodded.

"Yeah. Do you like it?" I asked.

"I love it. Oh my gosh babe I never knew that you could draw like this. This is amazing." He said as he looked at it. I leaned my head on his shoulder.

"I'm glad that you love it. Where are you going to put it?" I asked as I looked up at him. He thought for a moment.

"I'll put it above my bed." He said.

"Really?" I asked. He chuckled and nodded.

"Yeah of course. Oh my gosh this is absolutely beautiful honey. Do you have more sketches at your house?" He asked. I picked my head up off his shoulder and nodded.

"Yeah, but I brought my empty sketchbook with me. It's in my suitcase." I said. Shawn nodded.

"I love this so much. It's beautiful, just like you. Did you have fun making it?" He asked. I nodded.

"Yeah, but I'll be honest, there were so many times that Grace or my mom or someone had to reassure me that you would love it because I was so nervous." I said.

"Well I do love it. I'm going to go hang it up right now." He said and I smiled and watched as he hung it up above his bed. He then looked at me with a smile. "I think it looks perfect right there, don't you think?" He asked. I nodded.

"Yeah." I said. He got off his bed and took a picture of it.

"Mind if I post about you on my Instagram since it's our anniversary?" Shawn asked.

"No, go ahead babe." I said. After a little bit, my phone dinged. Shawn had posted a photo, and I recognized it as our first picture as boyfriend and girlfriend. We were sitting on the couch at my house.

"Throwback to one year ago today when Y/n and I took our first picture together as boyfriend and girlfriend. Y/n, happy anniversary my sweet girl. You make everything better. You make me smile more. You make me laugh more. I love you so much honey. Thank you for the beautiful and amazing present, I love it, but more importantly, I love YOU!" He wrote. I liked the photo and then posted a picture of us that his security guard took when Shawn and I had our first date as boyfriend and girlfriend even though we hadn't announced that we were dating yet.

"Happy anniversary to this amazing hunk of a man, and happy throwback to our first date as boyfriend and girlfriend! I remember being so nervous that we would be caught kissing or holding hands because we hadn't announced our relationship yet, and when I told you this, you said 'I don't care. I want to hold my girl's hand.' and we walked around the Museum of Fine Arts together. I love you lots babe. Also, thank you to Jake for taking this picture." I wrote and Shawn liked the post. We then cuddled and I spent about a month with him in Canada before I had to go back home for school. I love Shawn so much, and I'm so glad that he liked my artwork.
