A/n: I read somewhere the other day that Shawn is actually a pretty private guy and so I decided to make this! Anyways, please enjoy this imagine. Okay, without further ado, let's begin!

June 21, 2020 - Toronto, Canada

I've been dating the singer and songwriter Shawn Mendes for almost six months now. Our relationship is pretty serious. We started to say I love you to each other when I was here in Toronto back in March, and then we had some talks about our future together, like marriage and kids. I'm in Toronto with Shawn for the summer, and as much as I love being with him, I felt bad and weird about the fact that I had to hide the fact that I was here from some relatives and close friends. Shawn and I have yet to go public, so we don't want rumors going around about us until we're ready.

My head was on Shawn's chest as we laid on his couch. A Harry Potter movie was on, but I certainly wasn't paying attention to the movie. I was too focused on the fact that watching movies and shows, and doing other stuff inside, is all we do. Due to the fact that we haven't gone public yet, it's hard for us to go out, so we stay in. I felt ready to go public. I was tired of being so secretive with people, people that I love and care about. I picked my head up and looked at Shawn. He rubbed my back as he watched the movie.

"Shawn?" I asked. He looked at me.

"Yes my love?" He asked.

"Can you pause the movie for a minute please?" I asked. He nodded and paused the movie.

"What's up babe?" He asked me.

"When are we going to go public?" I asked. He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Babe, I don't want you to get hate." He said.

"I know, and I know that I'm not going to like getting hate, but I can come to you if I'm upset, right?" I asked. He nodded.

"Yeah." He said.

"And we want to get married someday, right?" I asked. He nodded again.

"Yeah." He said.

"So we have to go public eventually. Shawn, there are family members that, when they asked me why I was going to Canada for the summer, I had to make up a lie because we're so afraid that a rumor is going to go around. That killed me to have to do that. I'm ready to go public with you." I said. He sighed again.

"I don't know baby. I just, I don't want to see you get hate." He said. I sat up and ran my fingers through my hair. I felt frustrated.

"I don't want to get hate, but I know that because I'm your girlfriend, and someday it will be because I'm your wife, I'm going to get it. I've known that I'm going to get hate for a long time. But my heart loves you Shawn, and my heart wants me to stay with you and be with you forever." I said. He sat up and thought for a moment before nodding.

"Okay. Tomorrow is our six month anniversary, should we make the posts tomorrow?" He asked. I smiled and tackled him with a hug, causing him to laugh.

"Yes! I love you baby!" I said.

"I love you too sweetheart. Maybe what I should do is make a little video saying that I have a secret that will be revealed tomorrow and post that on my Instagram story now." He said. I nodded.

"Okay." I said. I sat up and moved so I wasn't in view of anyone watching the video. I watched as Shawn made the video.

"Hi guys, so I have a secret that I've been keeping, but it will be revealed tomorrow. I love you guys!" Shawn said. He then posted the video onto his Instagram story. I moved over and kissed his cheek.

"I love you. Thank you for saying yes to going public." I said. He smiled at me.

"I love you too and you're welcome. Come give me a kiss baby." Shawn said. I smiled and put my lips on his. 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 me like fireworks. Later on we went to bed and fell asleep holding each other, just like we always do. The next day, we woke up, spent some time together, exchanged presents, and then decided to make our posts.

"Will you make your post first please?" I asked.

"Do you want me to?" Shawn asked. I nodded.

"Yes please." I said. Shawn nodded. After a little bit, my phone lit up with a notification that Shawn had posted on Instagram. He had posted a mix of both photos and videos. The first picture was us on our first date. Jake, Shawn's security guard, took it because he felt like there was something magical happening between us. The next picture was from our one month anniversary. Shawn was standing behind me, his arms around my shoulders, my hands resting on his arms, his head resting against mine as we had huge smiles plastered on our faces. Next was a video of me sitting on Shawn's shoulders as he rapped along to God's Plan by Drake.

"She say, 'Do you love me?' I tell her, 'Only partly' / I only love my bed and my momma, I'm sorry / Fifty Dub, I even got it tatted on me / 81, they'll bring the crashers to the party / And you know me / Turn the O2 into the O3, dog / Without 40, Oli', there'd would be no me / Imagine if I never met the broskies" Shawn rapped as I smiled and laughed as I sat on his shoulders.

I looked at the next part of the post. It was a picture of me sitting on Shawn's lap as we smiled at the camera. It was from when Shawn came to Massachusetts to celebrate my twenty-first birthday, which is probably why we both had Coors Lights in our hands. The next part of the post was a video of me sitting on Shawn's shoulders as him and I, along with my neighbors Johnny and Liz, Johnny's girlfriend Kristen, and Liz's husband Tommy sang along to We Are The Champions by Queen. Johnny's dad, Dave, videotaped it. I was on Shawn's shoulders, Liz was on Tommy's shoulders, and Kristen was on Johnny's shoulders.

"We are the champions, my friends / And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end / We are the champions / We are the champions / No time for losers / 'Cause we are the champions of the world" We all sang before erupting into laughter. The next part of the post was a video of Shawn and I rolling down a hill. Johnny had videotaped it. I finished rolling down the hill, and then tried to stand up. I had been dizzy, so I immediately fell on my butt. This caused Johnny to laugh.

"Y/n! Are you okay?" Johnny asked as he laughed. I gave a thumbs up and then fell back onto my back.

The next post was a picture of Shawn and I riding bikes down my street. Johnny had taken that picture. Next was a photo of Shawn and I cuddling on his couch. It was a selfie that Shawn had taken as my eyes were closed and he kissed the top of my head. Next, was a picture that I think Brian had taken. It was taken on Shawn's balcony. Shawn was laying in between my legs, his eyes closed, as my hands rested on his chest. The next picture was mostly of a note, but you could see me sitting on Shawn's balcony. I had completely forgotten about that note.

"Good morning my love! I woke up super early and couldn't fall back asleep. I know that you always tell me to wake you up when I can't sleep, but you looked so peaceful and content that I couldn't bring myself to wake you. I'll be out on the balcony reading one of the books that you got me at the library. I love you! Xoxo - Y/n." I had written. The last part of the post was a video of Shawn and I slow dancing to Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton. I smiled at the post and then read Shawn's caption.

"Y/n Y/l/n, these past six months of being your boyfriend, and ten months of knowing you, has been nothing short of magical, incredible, and amazing. You make me smile so hard that my cheeks hurt and sometimes I think that the smile that you've given me will be stuck permanently on my face. You make me laugh so hard that I have tears rolling down my face as I grab my stomach because it hurts. You make me happier than I've ever been in my whole life - happier than I ever knew was possible.

"I fell for you the moment I laid eyes on you in that Dunkin Donuts in Boston, Massachusetts on August 16, 2019, and I fall for you more and more every single day. My friends tease me about the fact that even when you're not around, I can't stop talking about you. But they don't feel what we feel for each other. They don't understand that when we kiss, and when we hold hands, we get the most insanely amazing feelings. When our arms are around each other, it's like we're in the safest place in the world. We're in our true homes.

"Darling, my love for you is endless, strong, and powerful. But those last two words could also describe you. You're strong, powerful, sweet, nice, kind, caring, loving, generous, smart, funny, beautiful, gorgeous, stunning, breathtaking, the list goes on and on. I love you more than any words strung together, more than any love song, could ever describe. Happy six month anniversary babe! Six months down, forever to go." Shawn wrote. I liked the post and smiled at him.

"That was beautiful." I said. Shawn smiled.

"So it was just like you?" He asked, causing me to blush, which then made him laugh. He kissed my cheek and I smiled even more. "Oh wait, I want to make another post about you." Shawn said. I looked at him.

"You don't have to do that." I said.

"No, but I want to. I love you babe." He said. I smiled.

"I love you too honey." I said. Soon, he made the post. It was a picture of him kissing my forehead as I smiled, my eyes closed. His hands were on my arms and my hands were on his waist. He put a quote as his caption.

"'Please know: Whether it's the days you burn more brilliant than the sun or the nights you collapse into my lap, your body broken into a thousand questions, you are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I will love you when you are a still day. I will love you when you are a hurricane.' - Clementine Von Radics." Shawn wrote. I kissed his cheek and he smiled.

"Okay, now I should make my post." I said. He nodded.

"Okay baby girl. I love you." He said.

"I love you too babe." I said. I posted some photos and videos. The first video was Shawn and I dancing to Get'cha Head In The Game from High School Musical as I laughed hysterically. The next video was Shawn being silly as he sang along to Whitney Houston's song, I Will Always Love You. The next video was of Shawn talking.

"Hi guys -" Shawn started to say before I jokingly interrupted him. You couldn't see me yet.

"I'm Shawn Mendes, and today I'll be doing a cover of Wanted by Hunter Hayes." I said. Shawn chuckled as he looked at me.

"Are you mocking me?" He asked.

"No. I'm imitating you. You know, imitation is the most sincere form of flattery." I said, fully knowing that I had stolen that from The Office. Shawn posted his finger at me.

"You stole that from The Office!" He said.

"What? Nooo." I said but I knew that he could tell that I was lying.

"You watch The Office too much." He said. He started laughing when he saw my jaw practically on the floor, and then he turned his phone so he was filming me.

"Shawn Peter Raul Mendes, take those words back." I said.

"Y/n Y/m/n Y/l/n, no." He said. I shook my head at him.

"I think I'll just go in the other room now." I said as I began to stand up. Shawn practically tackled me.

"NO! STAY WITH ME BABE!" He yelled. I nodded and laughed.

The next part of the post was a picture of Shawn and I with our arms around each other as we walked around my neighbor's backyard. The fifth part of the post was a picture of Shawn giving me a sweet, beautiful, and magical kiss. The sixth part of the post was a picture of Shawn kissing my hand as he drove down the highway. The seventh part of the post was a video that Johnny had taken. At first, you could see Liz, Tommy, and Kristen, but then it switched to Shawn and I.

"Johnny, look at them." Liz said as she pointed at Shawn and I.

"Awww. They're so cute!" Kristen said as Johnny filmed Shawn and I. We looked like we were deep in conversation, and it looked kind of like I was upset and Shawn was comforting me. Shawn was rubbing my arms as he talked to me.

"Shawn!" Johnny yelled. Shawn looked at him.

"Yeah?" He yelled.

"Is she okay?" Johnny yelled. My face was buried in Shawn's chest as he rubbed my back. Shawn nodded.

"Yeah. She just hates the fact that we're constantly so far away from each other." Shawn said.

"Well remind her that you guys are together right now!" Johnny said. Shawn smiled and nodded.

"I'm trying." Shawn said and then the video ended.

The eighth part of the post was Shawn singing along to Dangerous Woman by Ariana Grande as we drove along. When we came to a stop, Shawn looked at me and winked, causing me to giggle. The next part of the post was a picture of me feeding Shawn part of an ice cream sandwich as he played video games with my brother, and the last picture was us sitting on the couch at my house, tapestry of the sun hanging behind us as I cuddled into his side, his arm around my shoulders, as we smiled at the camera, our heads resting together. I wrote my caption.

"Six months ago today, my best friend showed up at my front door with a bouquet of pink tulips and asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes! Shawn, I love you more than words will ever be able to describe. You have my whole heart and my whole soul. You're more than my boyfriend. You're my best friend, my soulmate, the love of my life, my everything. It's crazy to think that six years ago, I was watching your vines with Lexie before history class started and now I'm dating you and staying with you for the summer! You give me the craziest, most insane, most amazing feelings ever. I'm the most myself when I'm with you. I laugh harder and smile more when I'm with you. You make me happier than I ever thought was possible. You've taught me to love myself. You're wise beyond your years, and I love and adore every single thing about you. Six months down, forever to go with my sweetest and dearest love. Happy anniversary baby!" I captioned it. Shawn smiled at the post as he liked it and then he smiled at me. He gave me a sweet kiss.

"I love you baby girl." He said.

"I love you too baby boy." I said. Shawn kissed me again and then pulled out his phone.

"Do you mind if I just make one more post about you?" Shawn asked.

"That's fine baby." I said. Shawn smiled at me and then posted on Instagram. I unlocked my phone and saw that he had posted a few pictures in the post. One of them was him laughing at something I said as I smiled at him, another was of him resting his forehead against mine, both of our eyes were closed as we smiled, and the other picture was of him holding my face as he kissed me. I read the caption.

"One more post about Y/n and then I'll stop for the day so I can spend our anniversary cuddling with her. Andrew once texted me asking if I would move mountains for her. I told him that I would if I absolutely had to, but that no, I usually wouldn't. He asked why, and this was my response: 'When people first meet her, they think she's shy, and she can be sometimes. But when someone gets to know her and finds out all of the crap she's gone through? Then they find out she's unstoppable. She's a force to be reckoned with. She's fierce and bold and strong and powerful. I dare anyone to tell her she can't do something, and she'll look right at them as she does it. I once told her that she couldn't have gum because of her jaw problems and she looked right at me as she put the gum in her mouth. I once said something like 'well, if you can't take that shot of fireball, then you can't.' and she looked right at me as she took it. I've been there when someone who has known her since she was born told her she couldn't do something. Her response? She looked at the person and said 'Watch me.' and then did it and she did it perfectly. I once saw a quote that said 'How to start a wildfire: tell her she can't.' and that quote sums her up. She's powerful and brave and courageous. So yes, I would move mountains for her - but she has the power to move them herself.'" Shawn captioned it.

"I love you so much honey. That's beautiful." I said. Shawn kissed my cheek.

"I love you so much too. What I wrote is true babe. You're so... amazing. You're amazing in every possible way." Shawn said. I smiled.

"Will you cuddle with me please?" I asked. Shawn nodded.

"Of course I will. Happy six month anniversary." He said as we laid down on the couch and I put my head on his chest.

"Happy six month anniversary." I said. I love Shawn so much and I'm so glad that we're finally public.
