(Y/N) POV:

"Are you ready to go?" You looked over and saw Ricky standing in the doorway of the bathroom door as you finished up your makeup. Last Sunday, Ricky invited you to go to the upcoming award show with him. You gratefully said yes, however you made him promise you that he would go dress shopping with you. It was only Wednesday but the award show was on Friday so you really needed to find the perfect dress today. Ricky suggested you two go to the mall to look for one, You liked this idea and happily agreed.

"Yeah sorry." you hopped down from the counter putting the mascara wand back into its tube. "Do I look alright?"

"Awe babe you look beautiful!" Ricky always knew how to make you feel better. To be honest you really weren't having that great of a day today. You woke up with your whole body being sore from all the working you've been doing lately, and you were really stressed that you wouldn't be able to find a cute enough dress that would match what Ricky was planning on wearing. Nice comments like these from Ricky always put a smile on your face.

"Now come on." You both laughed as he grabbed your arm and dragged you out to his car opening the passenger side door for you. You quickly got into the car and waited for Ricky to join you. Once he did, you turned on the radio realizing your favorite song was playing. You smiled and turned up the volume as Ricky began to drive to the mall. He reached over and grabbed your hand, intertwining his fingers into yours. His hands were so soft and you enjoyed how they felt against yours. You turned your head and focused your attention on looking out the window. It was such a beautiful day outside today, The sun was shining and it looked as though many of the people were taking advantage of it. You laid your head back against the seat and waited to arrive at the mall, hoping that you could find the perfect dress.

Before long, you arrived at the mall. It was a pretty big mall and it had a lot of stores so you were bound to find something cute. Both you and Ricky got out of the car and started walking towards the mall holding each other's hand. Ricky held the door for you as you walked inside. You could smell the food court from the entrance and knew you and Ricky were definitely going to have to get pretzels before you left.

"Why don't we go start at Windsor..." You knew they always had dresses there, hopefully you could just find one there and be done with the whole dress deal.

"Lead the way!" Ricky laughed as you dragged him into the extremely girly shop. You took a few minutes to browse through the different options they had, However you really weren't seeing anything you really liked....Great. There was a cute knee length black dress that caught your eye though. It was kind of cute, It was an apron type dress that was silk and had a few diamonds around the waist. You looked at it for a second and then looked at Ricky to get his opinion.

"I think its nice, why don't you go try it on?" You nodded and dragged Ricky over to the fitting rooms. He sat outside while you went inside the little changing stall and tried on the dress.

It was a nice dress but there was just something about it that didn't seem right. You looked at yourself in the mirror and just didn't like what you were seeing. It was kind of cute the more you looked at it but it just wasn't what you were hoping for..... You slowly unlocked the door and walked out to show Ricky and see what he thought about it. Ricky looked up from his phone and could tell right away from your facial expressions that you didn't like it.

"It's a cute dress but if you don't like it or feel comfortable wearing it, we can always go to a different shop." You sighed and nodded, feeling a little better hearing that coming from Ricky. He gave you a warm smile as you walked back into the dressing room to put your normal clothes back on. God dress shopping could be so difficult. Was it really so hard to find a dress that actually looked nice?

You normally wouldn't even worry about wearing a dress but you really wanted to impress Ricky's band and best friends. After all you were his new girlfriend and their opinion of you mattered a lot. You sighed, taking off the dress and putting your everyday clothes back on. Onto the next store to hopefully find a nice enough dress. You walked out of the dressing room to find Ricky still sat on the same bench playing on his phone. He looked up and smiled seeing you, you were the highlight of his life of course. He slowly stood up and held his hand out which you gladly grabbed tightly. He could tell you were stressed about this whole thing so he carefully rubbed your hand with his thumb. You both walked out and back into the regular mall.

Ricky's POV:

I sighed as I sat outside yet another fitting room. We have been at the mall for over 3 hours now and we've been to multiple stores just trying to find a dress that (Y/N) likes. It was definitely taking longer than I expected and I could tell she was getting more and more stressed as the day continued on.

She walked out of the fitting room again with her normal clothes on. I looked up at her and raised an eyebrow.

"No?" She shook her head as I asked the small question.

"I think i'm going to go look around again." She sighed as I stood up. I slowly walked over and hugged her, She was getting frustrated and I couldn't blame her. She melted into my arms as I held her.

"Hey it'll be okay, you'll find something I promise......" She nodded and just hugged back tighter. "Why don't you go look around while I go run and grab something from a different store for my outfit?"

"Alright, hopefully I find something." She pulled away and gave me a quick kiss before walking away to find the perfect dress. I quickly walked out of the store and back into the mall. Okay maybe I lied about going to get something for my outfit, but she didn't need to know that.

I made my way over to a small jewelry shop, I figured (Y/N) could use a little something extra to go with her outfit, plus I knew this would put an even bigger smile on her face. I looked around, browsing the shop for a bit. I really wasn't sure of what to get her, until a few items caught my eye. It was a necklace and earring set that was silver with diamonds and black stones. Even better there was a matching ring that went with the set. Sure it was a little pricey but I honestly didn't care. I was so in love with her and I knew how happy it would make her and that's all that mattered.

"See anything you like son?" An older man who I assumed was the shop's owner walked over to help me.

"Actually yes, can I get these?" I pointed to the necklace and earring set along with the ring.

"Oh that's a very pretty set there son, Are you planning on proposing? Cause i'm sure whoever the lucky lady is will really enjoy these." His face lit up as he was talking to me.

"Yeah actually..." I did not just say that did I? I was planning on proposing someday but I wasn't going to do it now! After all we have only been dating for a little over 2 weeks!

"Well I wish you two a happy and healthy marriage then." The man smiled bagging up the jewelry as I swiped my card to pay the big amount that was shown on the screen. Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea to keep the ring for later though......

I grabbed the bag and slid the ring into my pocket for later as I walked out of the small jewelry shop. Hopefully (Y/N) has found a dress by now, I hated seeing her this frustrated and stressed out over something simple like a dress. But to her it was much more than just a dress, I knew how much she wanted to impress the guys. I was just hoping that they would like her, but at the end of the day she was my girlfriend and I wasn't going to let their opinions on her affect our relationship.

I slowly walked back into the shop that I had left (Y/N) in and I walked back over to the dressing room where I expected her to be. Much to my surprise she wasn't there. Hm thats weird..... I quickly pulled out my phone and shot her a text.

"Hey where are you? I'm over by the dressing rooms." Maybe she was still looking for a dress. My phone buzzed in my hand and I looked at the new message that was pooped up on the screen.

"Sorry i'm at the checkout, I found the perfect dress :)" I smiled as I saw the smiley face at the end of the message.

Thank god she finally found a dress though, I don't know if I could take anymore scrolling through my phone waiting. I walked over to the checkout and saw the prettiest girl in the room standing there paying for the dress that was all bagged up. From what I could see it was black, which was good considering the jewelry I bought would definitely match well with the dress.

"Hey!" I laughed as I walked up next to her. "So you found something you liked?"

"UM YES! Ricky it's amazing! I'll show you when we get home later, I think you'll really like it." Her face lit up and I could tell all the stress and frustration she was experiencing was definitely gone by now.

"Perfect, I actually have a surprise for you as well." I smirked as she grabbed the bag holding the dress. She raised one of her eyebrows at me. "Trust me you like it."

She laughed and nodded as I held out my hand again which she gladly took in hers. I loved the little moments like these, The holding hands, the small quick kisses, she was just the perfect girl for me. There weren't enough words in the dictionary to describe how she made me feel.

"Hey can we get pretzels before we leave?" She smiled looking up at me and of course there was only one answer for this. And it was yes.

(Y/N) POV:

You laughed as you fed Ricky a part of the pretzel the both of you were sharing. The stress you were feeling about finding a dress for the show was now gone. The dress you picked out was a black long sleeve with a poofy bottom that was a little longer in the back. The sleeves were lace along with the top half, and you just completely fell in love with it. It was the only dress out of the ones you picked that you actually felt good and confident in. Now you just hopped Ricky would like it. You would have waited for him to return back from his mini adventure but you thought it would be fun if you did a mini fashion show at home for him.

Ricky smiled and fed you the last of the pretzel. You were ready to go home, It had been 4 hours now that you had been at the mall and your feet were killing you. Plus you really wanted to know what this mystery surprise that Ricky had for you was. You got up from the table you were sat at and grabbed the bag that was holding your dress.

"Are you ready to get going?" Ricky nodded and stood up himself. He threw away the trash and picked up the small bag that he had gotten on his mini adventure. You smiled at him as you walked out to the car putting the dress in the back seat before getting into the passenger seat. God you just really hoped he would like this dress on you.

--------------------

As soon as you got home Ricky was already begging you to show him the dress. You laughed and took the bag into what was now yours and Ricky's room and began to start changing. You had completely moved out of your old room and you were now moved into Ricky's room. Your old room had become the place where you did your sketches and merch design. Ricky also from time to time practiced playing since all of his guitars were now in there as well. You enjoyed sharing Ricky's room and you really enjoyed being able to cuddle up next to him during the cold nights. This whole relationship thing was really working out and you were loving every minute of it.

You pulled the dress up your body and zipped the back as much as you could. It was such a pretty dress and it actually made you look super pretty too. You stepped out into the hallway a little scared of what Ricky was going to think.

"Okay, close your eyes please..." You waited a few minutes before continuing.

"They're closed!" You could hear him laugh which made you laugh as you walked out into the living room in the dress you had picked out. Ricky was sat on the couch with his hands covering his eyes like a little boy playing peek-a-boo with his mom. You started laughing even harder at the sight of this.

"You can open them....." He slowly pulled his hands away, as soon as he did his eyes lit up and his mouth dropped a little bit.

"Holy shit you look gorgeous......" He looked you up and down smiling from ear to ear. Yes! He liked the dress you picked out! You were now completely stress free excluding having to meet his best friends.

"I'm glad you like it....." You smiled shyly as he patted the couch wanting you to sit next to him, which you greatly accepted. As you sat, he pulled a small box out from the mystery bag he got from the mall. "Ricky..... Come on you know you didn't have to buy me anything...."

He laughed and handed you the small velvet box, "Open it" He smiled, excited to see your reaction. You slowly opened up the box, revealing a small silver necklace that had a black heart with diamonds surrounding it. There were also matching heart earrings that went along with it. You looked up at Ricky, in shock that he would actually spend that much money on you. He just smiled at your look of pure shock. You set the new jewelry pieces on the coffee table before tackling Ricky into the couch hugging him tightly.

"Thank you so much!" You smiled and kissed him sweetly, which he cutely kissed back too.

"Your welcome!" He mumbled into the kiss. How did you end up with such a great guy? If you were sure of anything it was that you were never going to ever let him go. You slowly pulled away from the kiss sitting up on his lap.

"Ricky, you know you didn't have to do that right?" Ricky laughed sitting up on the couch.

"Yes, but I saw how stressed you were and I just really wanted to do something nice and surprise you." You smiled looking down at him.

"Well get your ass up and put it on me then." You handed him the necklace as he sat up more. He brushed your hair gently to the side and carefully wrapped your new necklace around your neck, clasping it at the back. You turned and placed a quick kiss on his soft lips.

"Alright i'll go take this dress off so we can watch a movie." You laughed and got up from your place on Ricky's lap.

"Ill make popcorn!" Ricky smiled and got up running to the kitchen to make the popcorn as you made your way back into the bedroom to put on your pajamas.

You were ready to just be able to sit down, relax, cuddle and watch the movie with your boyfriend. It had been a long day, but somehow he always made the long days bearable.
