A/n: Explicit language in this one! Also, I apologize in advance for any mistakes. I got about an hour of sleep last night even though I'm exhausted. Also, let's pretend that it's March of 2021, and then the awards show/red carpet will be in May of 2021. Anyways, please enjoy this imagine. Okay, without further ado, let's begin!

I've been dating the singer and songwriter Shawn Mendes for fifteen months now, and they've been the best fifteen months of my life. I'm currently visiting Shawn at his place in Toronto since I'm on spring break from school. Shawn and I were laying on the couch, my head on his chest as he rubbed my back soothingly, as we watched Harry Potter movies. Shawn's phone rang and he groaned.

"I just want to cuddle with you." He said. I giggled.

"I know baby, but it's Andrew." I said. He grabbed his phone, paused the movie, and answered it.

"Hey Andrew." He said. Andrew said something and then Shawn patted my side, signaling to me that he wanted me to get up so he could get up. He left the room, and came back a few minutes later with a big smile on his face.

"What are you smiling about?" I asked as Shawn sat down and pulled me into his lap.

"Well, there's an award show in May, and it's after you get out of school. Andrew said that you could come with me and it would be our big red carpet debut as a couple. You can pick your outfit too. Want to come baby?" Shawn asked. My eyes widened.

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

"Yup." He said.

"Will you stick with me the whole time?" I asked. He nodded.

"Yup. Well, unless I have to go to the bathroom, but other than that I'll be right beside you the whole night." Shawn said. I smiled and nodded.

"Okay. I'll go." I said. His smile widened.

"Really?" He asked. I nodded.

"Of course. I would love to go with you." I said.

"Oh my gosh that makes me so happy. I love you baby." Shawn said, and before I could respond, he 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 me like fireworks. I smiled into the kiss, and so did Shawn, causing us to pull away.

"I love you too honey." I said. He smiled at me and kissed my cheek.

"Are you my girl?" Shawn asked. I immediately sat up straighter, smiled, and nodded.

"Yeah I am!" I said, and Shawn laughed.

"You're too cute my love." Shawn said before kissing my cheek a few more times. I hummed, feeling content and happy as his arms remained around me.

Two months later

I looked at myself in the mirror. Holy shit, was I actually feeling confident about myself? Yes, I actually was. I was wearing an elegant burgundy off the shoulder mermaid dress. My hair was up in a bun and I was wearing some makeup.

"Shawn's going to flip when he sees you, but he's going to flip in the best way possible." One of the stylists said. I smiled and nodded.

"Where is he?" I asked.

"He's just in the other room." She said. I nodded and walked out to him. His back was to me. He was dressed in a gray suit.

"I'm so proud of Y/n. She doesn't like being in front of a lot of people, but she agreed to be in front of a bunch of cameras and she said yes to being interviewed too. I wonder what her dress looks like." Shawn said to Andrew.

"Turn around and you'll find out." I said. Shawn turned around and his jaw dropped. He then clapped his hands together.

"Woo! Shit, am I lucky or what?" Shawn asked as he jumped up. I laughed and he walked over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders.

"I'm the lucky one babe." I said. He kissed me and then took a step back but held my hands in his. As our skin touched, I felt electricity spark through me, yet I felt safe and warm at the same time.

"Damn baby, you look amazing. Stunning. Breathtaking. Beautiful. Every nice word I can think of." Shawn said. I blushed.

"Oh my gosh. Well you look amazing too Shawn. I'm dating the most handsome man in the world." I said and Shawn smiled at me and then kissed me again.

"All right you two lovebirds, let's get going." Andrew said. I put on my red heels and Shawn, Andrew, a couple other people, and I, headed out. Shawn helped me into the car and sat next to me of course. I squeezed his hand.

"You okay baby?" Shawn asked. I looked at him.

"Nerves are starting to set in. You're not going to leave my side, right?" I said and asked.

"I'll stick by you the whole time honey, I promise. We'll practically be glued together for the night." Shawn said. I nodded.

"Okay. I love you." I said. Shawn smiled.

"I love you too darling." Shawn said. He talked to me for the rest of the ride, and I realized that he was doing that to keep me focused on him and to keep me calm.

"We're here." Jake, Shawn's security guard, said.

"Ready?" Shawn asked.

"As ready as I'll ever be." I said. Shawn stepped out first and then held his hand out for me to take. He helped me out of the car and immediately put his arm around my waist. He whispered in my ear.

"Whenever you get nervous, just squeeze my side, okay? You've got this babe, and I'm so proud of you." Shawn said. I nodded.

"Okay. Thank you." I said. We began to walk the carpet. I had been instructed by other people how to pose. One arm around Shawn, the other arm by my side, or I could do one arm around Shawn, the other hand on my hip. My favorite one was to have one arm around Shawn, the other arm resting on his clothed abs. There were a lot of flashes, and it was a bit hard to get used to, and people yelling our names didn't help. I didn't know where to look, and I felt nervous so I squeezed his side. He kissed the side of my head and then whispered in my ear.

"What's up babe?" He asked.

"Where do I look?" I asked. He smiled.

"Anywhere you want to." He said and I smiled back.

"SHAWN! KISS HER!" Someone yelled. Shawn didn't have to be told twice. He put his lips on mine and we shared a brief but loving kiss. We then walked a bit more before we got called over by an interviewer. I remembered her as the interviewer that had almost fallen one time but Shawn caught her (A/n: I can't remember her name but I can picture her so I'm just going to name her Rachel Wiseman. Don't know where I came up with that name lol.).

"Rachel Wiseman here with Shawn Mendes and Y/n Y/l/n. How are you guys doing?" She asked. I smiled at Shawn, who smiled at me.

"We're good. This is her first interview ever." Shawn said as he pointed at me.

"Really?" Rachel asked. I nodded.

"Yes." I said as I smiled.

"Well I'm glad that I could be the one to interview you for the first time. Shawn, how happy are you to have your girlfriend here?" She asked. Shawn smiled.

"I'm very happy to have her here. I'm also very proud of her right now. She doesn't like being in front of a lot of other people and she doesn't like it when there's a lot of attention on her, but she said yes to coming and to getting out of her comfort zone, so I'm extremely proud of her for that." Shawn said.

"Well you're very good at getting me out of my comfort zone." I said to Shawn and he smiled and nodded.

"That's true." He said with a chuckle.

"So you guys both look absolutely amazing, but Shawn, what was your reaction when you saw Y/n?" She asked.

"Well she looks absolutely stunning and breathtaking all of the time, but when I saw her in this dress for the first time, I literally clapped my hands together, jumped in the air, and yelled a bit." Shawn said.

"Y/n, I bet that made you feel good." Rachel said. I nodded.

"Yes, definitely. He came over to me and was saying that I look beautiful and gorgeous and every nice word that he can think of so I was definitely blushing." I said. She nodded.

"So how long have you guys been together for now?" She asked.

"Next month will be a year and a half since I asked her to be my girlfriend." Shawn said with a smile.

"Whenever I see photos or videos of you guys, you always look so in love, and it's so beautiful. Shawn do you have any plans for popping the question soon?" She asked.

"Well we've talked about our future together, and so we know that we want to be together for about two years or so before we get engaged, so maybe a little bit longer. But at the same time, I don't want to propose and then go on tour and leave her to do the planning all by herself." Shawn said.

"Well if you proposed while you were on tour we could just hold off on planning it for a bit." I said. He nodded.

"Good point." He said.

"Y/n, are you itching to get hitched?" Rachel asked. I smiled.

"I mean, I would love to be his wife eventually, and Shawn knows that when he asks me to marry him, I'll say yes. I love him more than words will ever be able to describe and I definitely want to spend the rest of my life with him." I said. Shawn kissed my cheek and my smile widened.

"You guys are so cute. Y/n, what's one song that makes you think of Shawn?" Rachel asked. I didn't even have to think about the answer.

"Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves." I said.

"Babe can you come up with an answer a little quicker next time?" Shawn teased because I had answered so quickly. I laughed and so did Rachel.

"Well you and I like to dance to that song sometimes." I said to him. He nodded.

"That's true. I think that we danced to it the day that you met my whole family." Shawn said. I nodded.

"Yeah, we did." I said.

"Y/n, what is the sweetest thing that Shawn has ever done for you?" Rachel asked. I thought for a moment.

"Oh gosh, he's constantly doing sweet things for me. Um, the sweetest thing that he's ever done for me is love me and accept me for who I am. I'm not the skinniest person in the world, and I have stretch marks on my body, but Shawn always tells me that I'm the most beautiful girl in the world and he's always there for me." I said with a smile. Shawn kissed my cheek and I smiled at him.

"You're not just the most beautiful girl in the world, you're the most beautiful being in the world. I love your stretch marks. They're part of who you are, and I love who you are." Shawn said. I blushed and leaned my head on his chest for a moment.

"Oh my gosh you guys are the cutest couple I've ever seen." Rachel said. We thanked her and then the interview ended. Shawn and I walked away. He rubbed my back and when I looked at him, he was beaming at me with pride.

"I'm so beyond proud of you honey. You did amazing." He said.

"Thank you." I said. We walked the carpet a bit more and then went into the venue for the awards show. After the show, Shawn and I went back to the hotel. Before I could even take my heels off, Shawn pulled me in for a hug.

"I love you so fucking much and I'm so proud of you honey. You did great!" He said. I smiled.

"Thank you honey. I love you so fucking much too." I said. He kissed me a few times.

"Do you need help taking the dress off?" Shawn asked. I nodded.

"Yes please, let me just take my heels off." I said. I held his hand for balance as I took my heels off and then he unzipped the dress and helped me take it off.

"You looked absolutely stunning honey. You always do." He said.

"Thank you. You look pretty damn good too babe." I said. He smiled at me as he watched me get changed into pajamas.

"Thank you my love." He said.

"You're welcome." I said. He got undressed.

"I think I'll just stay in my boxers. Want to watch some Netflix?" He asked.

"I have to take my makeup off and then I'll be right there." I said as I headed towards the bathroom. Suddenly, he was in the bathroom with me.

"Wait, I like taking your makeup off of you. Can I do it? Please?" He asked. I giggled and nodded.

"Of course baby." I said. He smiled and picked me up and put me on the counter.

"Close your eyes honey." Shawn said, and I did. He began to wipe the makeup off me.

"I love you Shawn. Thank you for sticking by my side." I said.

"I love you too Y/n. You're welcome honey." He said.

"I have a question for you." I said as Shawn finished taking my makeup off me.

"You can open your eyes now. What is it baby girl?" Shawn asked. I opened my eyes and looked at him. I felt nervous asking this.

"Do you think that we'll move in together before we get engaged or after we get engaged?" I asked. Shawn thought for a moment.

"I think it would be cool to move in together before we get engaged. And we know that we want to live in Massachusetts, right?" He asked as he picked me up and set me down so my feet were on the floor.

"Are you sure that you want to move to another country for me?" I asked.

"Of course I'm sure. Why wouldn't I be sure of that honey?" He said and asked me. I placed my hands on his chest and moved them up to his shoulders. He put his hands on my waist.

"Well I don't want to take you away from your family and friends." I said as I looked at his chest hair, rather than looking him in the eyes. He ducked down so I would meet his gaze and then once our eyes were locked, he stood up straight again.

"You wouldn't be taking me away from anything. I would still be able to go and visit them and stuff like that honey. How about this: when we fly back to Massachusetts, we'll start looking for houses to live in. And not just a place that would be just for the two of us, but somewhere that we would be able to raise the three kids that we want to have. How does that sound?" He asked. I thought for a moment before holding his hand and guiding him to the bed. We sat down and faced each other.

"I feel bad." I said. He frowned.

"Why do you feel bad?" He asked.

"Because how am I supposed to help pay for bills? If we're talking about getting a whole damn house, and not just an apartment, then that's going to be more money to buy it and then for all of the bills. I mean, I'm getting my associate's degree in a couple of weeks, but I'm not an adjustment counselor yet. I still have a long way to go before I'm an adjustment counselor. How am I supposed to help pay for our future house and then for our future wedding?" I asked.

"Oh honey. You know that I can take care of things financially for the both of us." He said. I shook my head.

"No. No, that's not why I'm with you Shawn. I'm not with you to mooch off you and take advantage of you." I said as I began to cry because I felt so bad. Shawn scooted closer to me and pulled me into his lap.

"I know that. I know that honey. I know that you're with me because you love me for who I am and I know that you're not with me to mooch off of me and take advantage of me. You don't do either of those things baby. I want to do this. What if we find a house that we like, I'll pay for it, and then when the bills come in, you and I will sit down and decide who pays for what? My love, you're a college student, I don't want you paying for school and your car and a house all at once. Let me help." He said. I nodded and wiped my tears away as I slowly stopped crying.

"Okay. Thank you for being okay with moving to another country for me." I said. Shawn smiled at me.

"Well I don't want to disrupt your schooling or your chances of getting your dream job. My job takes me around the world, but you want to be an adjustment counselor in a high school, and last I checked high schools don't move around the world." Shawn said with a smile. I giggled.

"You're right. I'm tired baby." I said.

"Okay honey. Oh wait, I just got an email from Josiah. I bet they're pictures from tonight." Shawn said. I got off his lap but put my head on his chest as we looked at the photos.

"We're so cute." I said. Shawn chuckled.

"We really are. I love the way that you look at me. You look so in love with me, and I know you are." Shawn said. I nodded and then took out my phone. Josiah had sent me the same email.

"Would it be okay to post this picture?" I asked Shawn as I showed him a picture of him and I when we had kissed. Shawn smiled.

"Of course baby." Shawn said. I posted the picture and wrote the caption. Since I had told the interviewer that Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves makes me think of Shawn, I used lyrics from the song.

"Baby don't you know? / That you're my golden hour / The color of my sky / You've set my world on fire / And I know, I know everything's gonna be alright" I captioned it. Shawn liked the post.

"I love it baby. Mind if I make a post too?" Shawn asked.

"That's fine." I said. Soon, I got a notification that he had posted, and it was the picture of him and I smiling at each other.

"My good side is whichever one you're standing on." He captioned it.

"Oh my gosh I love the caption. That's so cute." I said and he laughed.

"Come on baby, let's go to sleep and we'll look up houses that are for sale tomorrow." He said.

"Wait, I know that we just talked about it, but are we really doing this? Are we going to move into a forever home together?" I asked. Shawn smiled at me and kissed my hand.

"Do you want to?" He asked. I smiled and nodded.

"Yeah." I said.

"So will you help me look for a house that we can move into together and spend the rest of our lives in?" He asked. I nodded.

"Yes! Oh my gosh we're going to move in together!" I said as I hugged him. He laughed.

"Yes we are baby. Oh, this makes me so happy. I love you." He said.

"I love you too." I said. We pulled away from the hug and laid down.

"Good night darling." Shawn said as he gently pulled me close to him and swung his leg over my hip.

"Good night baby boy." I said as I cuddled up to him. I love Shawn so much and I can't wait to move in with him.
