This is an in quarantine story

I woke up in a good mood thinking about the love poem Tamaki wrote me last night. he's always righting me these really pretty poems for me. I wish I could do something romantic like that! Sometimes It feels like he's the one holding this relationship together, especially since we're in quarantine I can't give him the cuddles that he always wants! I pouted thinking about all of that.

Wait! Why can't I write him a poem! Even if I can't do it at least it will give me something to do! It hasn't even been two weeks and I'm so bored! Plus how hard can it be? I've never actually written one before, but it can't be that hard! I got ready for the before sitting back down at my desk,

Ok so how do you write a poem? Tamaki makes it look so easy! He just takes out his notebook and a pencil and pretty words come out. I guess I'll try that.

I grabbed a pencil and some paper and just stared at the blank page. Now what? Maybe google can tell me. I went to my laptop and typed "how to write a love poem" into the search engine. Ok so I should talk about how he makes me feel, our firsts, but don't be sappy! The more I look up the more lost I get. I guess it really is that hard, But I will write him a poem! I started simple:

Tamaki
I love you

Ok, this is good I need more.

I love you more than
any anyone can love someone

No that doesn't work. I crossed it out

Like no one else
That I have ever loved before Ok, that's better I'll keep those. I guess that I go on to the next stanza? What do I write now? What do I like about him? I like everything about him! His smile I can write about his smile!

I love your
Smile

Ok that's good
You don't smile enough
It's rare and beautiful
Like those blue butterflies you're always looking for.

Yea that's good, he loves those all butterflies but the blue ones are his favorite, he thinks that they're lucky. He's really cute like that, he's always cute even when he's nervous and I hold him to make him feel better. I can write about that!

When you're nervous like you usually are
I guess that line can work

And I hug you and
You pull yourself closer to me
I love it when he does that! I think this is getting easier!

It makes me happy cuz
I know that I'm
Helping you feel better.
Yea that's good! I probably should end this

You're the best thing that has ever happened to me
You make me really happy
You make my heart happy
Much better.

Yea that's really cute! I know its nowhere good as his, his has punctuation and the line breaks really mean things but I hope he likes it anyway! Now I just have to wait for him to wake up, I looked at the time it was almost ten I was working on that for over three hours! Even so, I still have to wait for my night owl to get up. I hate waiting.

Eventually, I felt my phone buzz, it was Tamaki telling me that he was up! I sent him a video call request right away.

He picked up and I couldn't help but smile as his face apaired on my screen. "I have something I want to show you!" I was so excited.

"What is it Mirio?" he asked.

"I wrote you a poem! Do you want to hear it?"

"Of course I do, but you don't like writing."

"I don't but you're always writing them for me and I wanted to show you that I love you too! Let me get the paper," I spoke excitedly as I walked to my room.

"Tamaki
I love you
Like no one else
That I have ever loved before

I love your Smile
You don't smile enough
It's rare and beautiful
Like those blue butterflies you're always looking for I wish I could see
It more your smile
It always makes me
Smile too.

When you're nervous like you usually are
And I hug you and
You pull yourself closer to me
It makes me happy cuz
I know that I'm
helping you feel better. You're the best thing that happened to me
You make my heart happy."

"I know it's not that good," I admitted, before looking back at the screen. He one of his rare full smiles.

"It's perfect Mirio," he told me.

"But it's nothing like yours! Yours are so much better than mine!" I wined.

"It's perfect because you made it even though you don't like writing," he gently told me.
